34 Best Vegan Restaurants near Fountain Inn

“I moved here 20 yrs ago and have found bbq places that were ok or overrated. This place blew me away everything was delicious. The bbq is so juicy and flavorful that putting sauce on it should be a crime. greens were yummy mac and cheese which I don't usually like was delicious and the make a banana pudding that will make you miss your grandma. Now let me tell you what is really really great about this place... the people who own it, the people that work there are some of the nicest I've ever met. I will be a loyal customer and hopefully a future friend.“

“when you first walk in the door, you're greeted with the aroma of real smoked bbq. The atmosphere is simple, yet inviting. The sounds of the cleavers hitting the cutting board lets you know you're in the right place. The staff are very helpful and friendly. And the food. The BBQ is perfectly tender with the right amount of bark mixed in. I got the potato salad and baked beans, which were very flavorful. If you're looking for the best, look no further than here. Mr. Preston is doing it right.“

“My favorite place to eat burgers because of its amazing combinations and unique flavors.“

“Fast service! Love this local spot!“

“Our server Emilio was great. Very friendly and informative. It was our first time visiting so he explained everything very well. The food was amazing. From the empanada to the Ropa vieja so well done and flavorful. Very impressed and will definitely be back.“

“I’m glad I decided to try First Watch. I usually eat at Eggs up or Waffle House. This was a pleasant experience. The service was perfect, and the food delicious. I will definitely be returning.“

“The food was deliciously good and the quality of customer service by our server, Steven was superb. First time experience and I would highly recommend to go. Next time imma have a reservation tho.“

“My go to for Bulgolgi! Very good.“

“This place is definitely worth the price, the food is absolutely amazing and you get a good amount of it. We tried the pork, the brisket, and the shrimp, which all deserve a major nod. We finished our meal with a piece of the red velvet cake and it DID NOT disappoint. We will definitely be back and recommend anyone who is thinking about eating here, do it!“

“The interior is so cozy, warm, and inviting and the ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful. Prices are a little high but these days everything is so I’d rather support a smaller business than a corp like Starbucks if I can. My friends and I work nearby and grab coffee here pretty often :)“

“This was my first time visiting. Our server Jewel was very attentive and my boyfriend and I did not want for anything. She was a complete pro at her job. I got their hot chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and he got their whiskey glazed salmon. It was delicious. We will definitely be coming back.“

“I have eaten here plenty of time. 99.9% of the time the food is great but every restaurant has an off day here or there. Kind staff and great communication between workers.“

“Persis was recommended by a friend while we were on vacation in the Greenville area and our experience was even better than expected. The service was welcoming and friendly. The appetizers, dinner, drinks, and dessert were flavorful and filling. It met the needs of our group with vegetarian and gluten free options. If we lived in the area this would definitely be a regular favorite!“

“Saffron Indian cuisine has delicious, authentic Indian food. The lunch specials are great, and filled with options for everyone. I was able to make two meals out of mine due to the portion size. The pakora is fantastic and the lamb in my korma was tender and cooked well. I also took home a meal for a friend (mango chicken with pakora appetizer) who said it was fantastic. Nothing was overcooked and the spice level was perfect. Would definitely recommend!“

“Great place to sit with friends.“

“DELICIOUS!!!! And you get a LOT of food I couldn't finish it all. Ordered the salmon and they didn't skimp on the quantity like other places. My new favorite place.“

“the best pizza i got..👍👍👍“

“I stopped by Sully's Steamers in Mauldin and ordered the Meat Chimney, and it was fresh, hot, and really good. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the steamed bagel was a nice change from a regular sandwich. Alacyea was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better with her great customer service. Overall, it was a great visit, and I'll definitely be back.“

“I believe this is a Lebanese restaurant, and it was only missing the Lebanese hospitality to go with it. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and the chickpea salad.“

“The food at Kairos is delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. However, tonight while making my pita, the person who was helping me wiped his hands on his shirt and then didn’t change his gloves. I didn’t want to say anything because I felt uncomfortable and there were other customers in line, but I wish he would have changed his gloves. I’m hoping his shirt was clean and had been washed recently, especially with all the sickness that’s going around. I will eat at Kairos again, but hopefully this will be discussed with the employees.“

“Her cakes are 😀 the best cakes we ever had“

“Just visited Boston Pizzeria. For the 1st time. When I walked in the door I was greeted and the aroma was wonderful. The dessert case is at the hostess station. Yummy. Ordered a small meat lovers pizza. The best pizza I have had in all of South Carolina. I drove 45 minutes to experience it, with a good friend recommendation. I am planning to go back with my family to sit down to experience the whole supper. The crust is just a little doughy in the center and very crisp on the outside. The cheese 🧀 was so fresh. Yummy. Very worth the 45 minute drive to get there. I will save room for dessert and take a doggie bag of my left overs.“

“My wife and I have eaten at Brixx in Myrtle Beach (now closed), Virginia Beach and Raleigh and have found them to be consistently excellent. I absolutely love the sausage and hot honey pizza, as well as their happy hour specials. Service at this location was outstanding especially given how crowded it was. We'll be back the next time we're in the area!!“

“Our serving was fantastic.The food with extremely tasty and the atmosphere was spectacular and romantic. My wife and I loved it.

We came from Columbia just to have a date nite & you'll made it worth the drive. Thanks“

“Delicious 😋 - this was our first time visiting and pleasantly surprised. E joyed our dinner.“

“Absolutely wonderful owners and such friendly staff. Love their unique take on dessert and I truly hope this business succeeds in all their endeavors. So much love for kind people in this ugly world, thank you for the gift you gave my son on his Birthday.“

“Excellent food and service! The best Mexican in town.“

“Well I would absolutely go back to this tropical grille.. because we were hesitant about what we were going to order…. & Quenzel( Denzel) I pray I didn’t mess his name up to much he was pleasantly getting us thru the drive through with such patience &everything we ordered He was Awesome!!!!! I was thankful for his long arms so I didn’t have to stretch too much:-)))He absolutely went above & beyond with us a car full of undecided ladies..we pulled up & a few minutes later we were on our way he sang us off with a thank you, excellent asset to the Tropical Grille Woodruff Rd Greenville!“

“First time visiting and I can tell you it won't be my last. Food was excellent and the service was great. The lobster Alfredo was wonderful and my wife's ribs were good as well. Also enjoyed their calamari. My wife had lunch here with friends on Tuesday and asked to eat here on our anniversary. I can see why.“

“Always a good spot, my wife and I come here weekly. Tonight I tried delivery, (we’re about 2 miles away). And I got our pizzas ordered and an expected delivery time. Well about 10-15 minutes passed our delivery time, and we tracked our driver. They were at Bridgeway Station with our pizzas. I called Sidewall, knowing it’s not their fault, they said they would make us new pizzas . It was not necessary and it totally wasn’t their fault, just the idiot that took the order. We got our pizzas and miraculously our “DoorDash” driver arrived,, as I showed up… saying their GPS took them to Bridgeway, saying he didn’t know where we were. We’re 1.93 miles away……. But Sidewall had always been good to us and I always like their pizza“

“Love this store everyone is so friendly but it’s not fair that one worker has to cover the drive through, orders, and make the food & smoothies all at the same time. Management should be stepping in if their employees can’t make it to work.“

“Update:

I am highly impressed with how this situation and we were handled. Shout out to Chris who is over 13 stores and made sure this became a teaching moment and a moment to sit down face to face with everyone involved. If only we could do this in the world we would be in a better place as the human race. Panera will not be losing us as customers and I'm sure all the stores he is over will find themselves better because of his leadership. I decided to keep the original review because how a company handle issues shows character and builds trust for the brand

THIS is what passes for “customer service” at Panera Bread on Woodruff Rd????

My husband walked in to pick up a PREPAID order of bagels for his job.This was an order he stepped in to grab because someone else couldn’t, and somehow ended up being treated like a suspect instead of a customer.
And let’s be very clear about how this unfolded:
The first employee he spoke to had no issue at all.
He gave the name, and everything was moving exactly as it should.
Then an older white female stepped in and suddenly everything changed.
Suddenly he was a “scammer.”
Suddenly he needed to “call the person who ordered it.”
Suddenly the proof in his hand wasn’t enough.
Same MAN DRESSED IN A SHIRT WITH THE COMPANY LOGO. Same order. Same proof.
Different reaction.

This handome, beautiful spirited, kind BLACK AND PUERTO RICAN man who always wants the best for everyone is a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, grandson, friend, mentor, leader, a man of God, and a pastor. His reputation of service to others is phenomenal! He is the kind of man who speaks to everyone, holds doors for others, and will help a stranger without hesitation.
And even in that moment of being profiled over something already PAID FOR he did not get loud, did not get rude, did not become angry( how yall LOVE TO STEREOTYPE PEOPLE OF COLOR)

He bit his tongue! Stayed calm! Showed restraint!
And waited while your employee decided whether he was “worthy” of receiving an order that was already paid for!!!!

That right there is the problem.
Because when a man can do EVERYTHING right, come prepared, be respectful, be calm and YET STILL be treated like he doesn’t belong...
That’s not confusion.
That’s not policy.
That’s bias! That’s profiling! That’s racism!

Panera Bread please explain to us why did one employee see a customer, and another see a threat?
What kind of environment allows that kind of bias to show up so comfortably?
And what are you going to do to make sure this doesn’t keep happening?
Because today it was my husband a man who chose grace when he didn’t have to!
But let’s be clear 🗣🎙 HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PUT IN THAT POSITION TO BEGIN WITH!

DO BETTER! BecAUSE HE DESERVES BETTER! WE ALL DO!

SICK OF IT!“

“Panera is one of my go-to spots whenever I’m looking for a quick, fresh meal. Every visit has been a great experience. The food is always fresh, the bakery items are delicious, and there’s a great variety of options no matter what you’re in the mood for. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the service is always efficient. Whether I’m grabbing breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee, Panera never disappoints. Definitely a place I’ll continue coming back to! 🥪🥗☕“

“Great spot in simpsonville. Food was delicious!!“
