50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Greenville

“10/10!! The food is absolutely incredible. The service is top notch. They went above and beyond for an 18 year old’s birthday that we were celebrating. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We finished a five day trip to Greenville by having dinner at Soby's. It was packed on a Friday night serving up their "reimagined" Southern Fare. Ordinarily, I would dive in and tell you about all the great food, instead I want to give props to the two line cooks working the Grill and Sautée stations in the kitchen. Our table on the second level looked right down the back (cooking) line. If you've watched The Bear television series you get to see a dramatized version of how a commercial kitchen operates. At Soby's we saw these two guys in action. A nine-steak order at four different temps, no problem. They mowed through an average of 9-10 tickets on the "rail" all night with God knows how many orders per ticket. Great job. Great job indeed! We started our dinner with the Mussles Mariniere sautéed in a bacon, leeks, Manzanilla sherry, cream. So good. I wish the chef would serve four pieces of toast with the dish so you could soak up more of the sauce. I had to try the She Crab Soup, as it is one of my favorites, and Soby's version with aged sherry bowled me over. For our entrees, our server suggested a combination of half portions of their Shrimp and Grits and Crab Cakes. Apparently my wife is not the only one who couldn't decide between the two, and thus a special was born. The crab cakes had a sweet corn maque choux and were served with haricots verts and a mashed potatoes, remoulade. From words on a menu to executed perfection it was a perfect blend of flavors. The shrimp and grits were good, not the best we have ever had, but again perfectly prepared. My entrée was the Braised Beef Short Rib served with mashed potatoes and a Black Garlic Molasses Jus. I watched my dudes on the line make over 20 of these before mine arrived at the table. Fork-tender, the meat had a great depth of flavor from its long journey of preparation. I ate every bite, OK except for the payback bites to my wife for sampling her special. We finished dinner with a piece of their Limoncello Cheese cake followed espressos and Ameretto. Our waitress was perfect all evening. She had a very busy section, but kept the coursing of dinner moving in a relaxed pace. We never felt rushed. Before I end, a word about wine at Soby's. When you arrive at the table, you are given a wine tome. Not a sheet of paper or a wine list you are used to seeing in most establishments. This was a tomb, bound in a metal cover. Soby's owner is a vinophile and has amassed over 2500 wines on the list, that is always changing as choices are enjoyed and more added. It really is quite a stunning list. So get you some Soby's if you're in town. It was a wonderful experience. You too can enjoy food bliss“

“My husband and I went to The One 5 to celebrate our anniversary (recommended by a friend) and it was so delicious. The service was great but the food was even better. We split the Brussels sprout salad. My husband had the NY strip and I had the salmon dish. Both were full of flavor and delicious. We will definitely be back.“

“The Anchorage is hands down our favorite dining experience in GVL! The tasting menu never disappoints and the cocktails are delicious. The service is absolutely impeccable. I love their creativity and get inspired every time we eat there!“

“I tried Asia Pacific for the first time. General Tso chicken, broccoli, & my parents both got the spicy fish hot pot. We shopped afterwards in the supermarket. Service was phenomenal! Food was the best Chinese I've had in Greenville. Will definitely be back! 😋“

“Had a great time. Connor was great and kept checking in on us!“

“Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere and staff are amazing. All the appetizers were a total hit. The meatballs, wings, and the fried zucchini were my favorites from the appetizers. The bone-in pork chop was cooked perfectly. The stuffed chicken was delicious as well. The 07 is A must-visit!“

“So glad we ventured over to Herbal Farmercy for lunch. I had their seitan chicken wrap and hubby had their version of Caribbean jerk chicken platter. Yummy! worth the trip!“

“Eat in or take out (very small parking lot). All vegan menu. Friendly service, cozy dining area, a few outdoor tables. I had the very hearty and tasty Naked Vegan wrap--enough for two people or two meals. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other menu items! I had trouble finding the cafe at first --it's behind another small business.“

“Kuka juice is one the most refreshing juices in the US today. With all of the chemicals in food and drink, it is nice to drink a juice with so many preserved vitamins and the juice combinations complement each other perfectly! I would recommend the juice to anyone looking for a different juice alternative.“

“We used Saskatoon for our wedding and they knocked it out of the park! Angie, Jane, Thomas, and all the other staff were so helpful and made everything so much less stressful. The venue was beautiful and the food was amazing!!! They were very accommodating, and we’re so happy we went with them for our special day. Highly recommend them for any event you may be thinking of!“

“I love this place, but I recently ordered my family 6 of the original Ding teas with Boba with 100% Sugar and all of them were plain and unsweetened. Normally these guys are on it but that was a big bummer ? Would give them 5 stars ? if not, make sure you guys try out your drinks before leaving, mine was takeout so I was long home by the time I tried mine!
Edit:
Guys I edited my original review, The awesome guys at this place contacted me regarding the experience! I didn't write the original review out of maliciousness or anything of the sort, I LOVE THIS PLACE! But I did want to give a heads up to customers to make sure their drink is made correctly especially when it's pickup and the store get busy. Mistakes happen especially in a place that gets frequented alot like this and during the weekend of course. I completely Understand the slight mistake!! Still I totally appreciate that they went beyond what they needed to do and contact me to apologize. I will definitely go back for their drinks, one experience will not ruin it for me, and their service today has cemented it for me!! ??“

“Their food is amazing! It is ALL things I can eat (gluten free and vegan), and that is just so exciting to me. The dishes are fun and flavorful. Deborah, the owner, is amazing and kind.“

“Delicious food, fast service, beautifully decorated interior, friendly staff, what else can I say?!“

“My review of the PHENOMENAL place is long overdue! I’ve been a regular here for YEARS, and I’ve NEVER had a bad meal or experience here! Before I talk about the food, let me say this place is filled with LOVE! Where there is love, I can guarantee you there’s also great food. With that said, you can taste the love in the food! If you’re a lover of middle eastern food, and you haven’t eaten here, you need to fix that ASAP! If you’re a “foodie” content creator, and you haven’t done content here are you even a real foodie?! If you’re like me and predominantly or even totally a vegetarian, they have plenty of delicious options for you. If you’re a meat eater, get the lamb Kabab TRUST ME! (only available after 3:30pm) No matter what you choose everything on the menu is a WINNER! My personal staple is the Falafel w/ Hummos sandwich with a side of grape leaves, a side of falafel, a side of hummos, and I like to sweeten the deal with some pistachio baklava 😩🤌🏾❗️ Listen to me… Go RIGHT now! You won’t regret it! And tell em NICO sent you! 🫶🏾❤️ *cash only fyi*“

““The cracklin chicken thigh was the best chicken I ever ate in my life. It was so juicy. I loved the meat. I didn’t love the skin. This is a 5 star review.” Axel Allison, age 9“

“El mejor lugar para comer pizzas. Desde que me mudé a USA estuve tratando muchos tipos de pizzas tanto en restaurantes como en supermercados y la verdad ninguna se comparó a la de este lugar. Me doy la libertad de decir que es la mejor pizza que he probado en mi vida.❤️🫶🏻“

“We came in tonight an hour or less before closing and was greeted with great customer service and looks of information on what to try. My friend and I got a hand full of treats to split and the desserts were so delicious and fresh! Such a great spot!“

“I ordered my food online and I didn't get as much meat as I was suppose too. I told Lisa at the Haywood location about what happened“

“The best vegetable lasagna we’ve ever had. Perfect sauce, wonderful fresh herbs, veggies have a nice crunch, cheese to die for. While the baked caprese is delicious as an appetizer it is unnecessary w/the before dinner bread being great too. We will be back!“

“Great food, great staff and a fantastic ambience. i highly recommend this restaurant“

“Amazing authentic NJ bagels . A+++++“

“Best soup I’ve ever had!!!“

“Julia was our server this morning. She handled our large group with ease. She was friendly and professional!“

“I absolutely love Cava, and this location exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. Tilo and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make sure my experience was smooth and enjoyable. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the service made it even better. Thank you all for making my visit so memorable—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great service from Savannah, and great food as always!“

“Delicious authentic Afghan food in a comfortable atmosphere. I like that I don’t have to make up my mind about what to order, and that you always get a variety of dishes on one plate. I have never come across anything I didn’t enjoy. Try their Kandahar Ice tea! It is extremely refreshing, very lightly sweetened and has a wonderful flavor with a bit of lime and cardamom.“

“Thank you for the beautiful mini strawberry shortcakes for my daughter's wedding 🍓. She wanted something simple, sweet, and pretty, and you guys delivered! They were perfect and delicious 😋!“

“Visiting from CA, I was in the mood for tacos and was recommended to go to Asada. Although, everything on the menu looked delicious I settled on a Carnitas taco. Wow! The Carnitas were so tasty and delectable...I loved it. And as an aside, the restaurant was beautifully decorated with paintings and the restaurant was absolutely spotless. So if you are in the mood for authentic Latino food, this is the place! By the way, Asada owner Gina and staff are friendly and welcoming!“

“Welcoming atmosphere!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food is great. It is a great place to hangout with friends and family. It was my first visit and I will definitely go back again.“

“My favorite Thai restaurant, fresh ingredients, nice people and the best curries 😋🤤“

“Food is excellent. Service great. Such a wonderful Asian gem.“

“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.“

“Best coffee shop around!! Best people best coffee!! 5 stars all around!!“

“Awesome food selection and an amazing staff. Would definitely recommend to anyone!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We loved the grocery and cafe both perfect after our afternoon walk 💕 #goldenmilk #avacadotoast #dillpotatosalad #spices“

“Amazing food and service! Cannot wait to go back.“

“Absolutely love the food and the family that owns it are such amazing people. Definitely one of our favorite places to eat! ❤️“

“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 :)“

“We absolutely love Stax! The servers are always friendly and on top of customer service, keeping drinks filled and bring food out timely. We have always enjoyed any dish we have ordered but a favorite is the chicken parm. It’s massive so be ready!“

“We loved the place. We have to the one in Colorado. The only thing I would have to say is the the portion of food that we got for the price was not good. Food taste was ok. The service was spot on! Friendly place nice people, staff was awesome! We will still go back again. I would just try a different entrée. Stay tuned.....“

“Delicious bowls made with fresh ingredients with plenty of variety for any taste or dietary restrictions. I loved the tahini dressing but they have many more. They also offer smoothies and smoothy bowls. I appreciate the vegetarian options.“

“C-ray was great!! Very professional!!“

“Have used Smokin Chips a couple of times. Never disappoints! Best BBQ in town! Delicious! Highly recommend!“

“I moved into The McClaren apts. (awesome place) about 14 months ago and discovered Otto Izakaya early on. Only 2 blocks away for me. Otto is, and has been, my go to place, especially when friends, family or business friends are visiting. Not a sole I have introduced has ever had anything but praises for the experience. If we are a small group, I always encourage dining at the bar. I have no idea who will read this, but people buy from people; and people they enjoy interacting with. I would be totally remiss if I didn't specifically mention bar manager Matt and his team behind the bar. If Matt has ever met a stranger, I missed it, as he has the personality to balance the engagement with customers, while still providing excellent customer service. Also, everything I've tried off the menu is high-grade and fresh! That's a must for me. I'd be slack if I didn't mention the awesome hard working sushi chefs, who are always open to preparing a creation to suit YOUR palate and preferences. As to other regular customers, and just my observation, but like me, they appear to have found a home away from home; a place to be comfortable, chill and let the time spent make a bad day better. I almost never take the time to give a review and especially a compliment; as I sometimes look for the negatives, as it is always so easy to criticize. So, as a native Greenvillian and business (person); and someone who believes and enjoys a five ***** experience that is reasonably priced, give Otto Izakaya a try. Whether you live in the area, or are simply visiting, when you leave you will already be thinking about when you can do this again! If you enjoy an adult beverage, be sure and stop by the bar and ask for Matt, as this master mixologist will want to know exactly what you're looking for. If you read this review and haven't stopped by, you're in for an experience catered to the way you would most enjoy it. And ladies, as I have a daughter in college, so please know whether by yourself, or in a group, you're in a safe place without being hassled and you don't have to look over shoulder (unless there is a stud sitting behind you), because Matt and the supporting staff will have your back so you can relax and enjoy. If you have a chance to meet the owner, please do, as his passion and dedication for excellence in all aspects of the business is instantly captivating. Sorry for the length of this, I was on a roll! No "pun" intended! Give it a try real soon! M.P. 😎“

“One of the best spots you will find in Greenville!“

“My favorite bagels!!! The best!“
