50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Irmo

“Passing through town and had to check this place out especially for the new pinball machine “Jaws”. The BLT I had with their in house made bread was fantastic along with a wonderful beer selection. They also have many craft can beers for purchase, wish I had taken the time to check them out. Looking forward to sporting my t-shirt I purchased.“

“We ordered take out tonight and let me just say it was delicious. The portions were large and cooked to perfection. The veggies were fresh and although some people do not like the veggies cut so large, I think they are perfect. Egg rolls were scrumptious and large . We had soup which was still piping hot when arriving home, house fried rice was perfection. Plenty of leftovers. Love, love, love .“

“This place was clean, quick with service and the girls who were working all had smiles. The food was good and high quality meats. Definitely a great sandwich shop. 4 stars for food only due to the fact that they do not serve wine but it is advertised. 5 stars for everything else though.“

“We love the sandwiches, vegan mac and cheese, and, oh my goodness, the cake!!! Best vegan chicken sandwich and cake I have ever had! The batter on the “chicken” is amazing! Every time we go there, I cannot wait to go back! They are so friendly as well and make you feel valued as a customer.“

“We had a great time while at dinner. The steak was great as well as the rice, beans, fries, chicken bites, and the peppers. We had a really good conversation with the owner, Bruno. He was very nice and even gave us a cup of peppers after my wife explained how much I love peppers. We will be back.“

“My husband and I had such a wonderful time dining at The Melting Pot! The entire experience was fantastic, and our server, Nicole, was absolutely amazing, so sweet and attentive. She made sure everything was perfect for us throughout the evening. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was so enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience. It’s an absolute must!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Nick in Lexington SC took care of my daughter & i this morning. he provided the best service i have had in a very long time. The fact that he had many tables to attend to made his attention all that much more impressive & appreciated. TY Nick!“

“A friend and I have regular dinner dates at Terra and we always have a great time! Tonight we had the shishito peppers, Chinese pork belly, snapper and the braised lamb pappardelle followed by the olive oil cake with sweet cream eggplant ice cream. We both agreed it was one of our top meals over the past several years at Terra and cannot wait until our next date! Quality, consistency and service are always top notch, and the one time we tried another restaurant for our date night we totally regretted it and went right back to Terra for our next meetup. Thank you Terra for being so reliable and delivering some of the best bites in the area, you are our gem!“

“Amazing! Same quality everytime“

“Have been to Bodhi at least five times over the last couple years and have consistently had an outstanding meal. Everything is good from the appetizers, sides, mains, desserts, and little cups of the tastiest soups you’ll ever taste… if I had the money I’d eat there more often (Bodhi is definitely worth the money but kids are expensive!). Whether you like Thai food or not, you’ll like Bodhi.“

“10/10 would recommend this place to everyone! I tried several dishes on their menu while I was visiting Columbia. Their dishes, from the pizza’s to the the desserts, tasted fresh and delicious. The staff were incredibly nice!“

“What! As a patron way back in the Food Lion strip mall days, this was hands down the best buffet in town, & sad when they closed. I watched when they broke ground on this new location. I couldn't be the first to enjoy since now I have an autistic child of habit, new isn't easy for us. Using my Super Mama powers, we went for lunch on his birthday in January. I do not have enough room on here to describe the ambiance, cleanliness, kindness, etc... Lucas & I will NOT EVER eat out anywhere else, not even fast food joints kids are attracted to. You get your own hibachi chef, sushi buffet with chef, "traditional" American foods, full salad bar, bars full of Chinese & Chinese-American foods, soups, desserts, superior service, a really undescribable without experiencing for yourself just daily lunch. So much deliciousness to even attempt to enjoy in a 2-hour visit for the price of chicken nuggets, fries, drink, & shake at fast food joints! If the lunch is mind (gut) blowing, supper must be out of this world! Soon. I have to judge many places by staff because of my son, who not only rolled out the red carpet for him/us, but innumerable amounts of other-abled folks, which is important to me. I have traveled & eaten at many places. I now have built-in ADA EYE. My eyes have never, ever, laid eyes on wait staff, or owners, who help a blind person or someone in a wheelchair get tabled and then helped with food selections, plating, and seated to enjoy. Care, respect, not enough words for this either. I have heard the owners waited 15+ years, raising $1,000,000 to create a dream for themselves and their patrons. Where in Columbia, Lexington, Orangeburg, Sumter, Charlotte, Augusta, Greenville, Charleston, Atlanta, and so on, can you get the same? Send me a Gmail & we will talk! Prove me wrong, I will buy your supper & eat a plate of octupi!“

“Smoothie king in Lexington always has the best staff. They help me find exactly what I need! I am currently trying to get more muscle and they recommend the “gladiator” which has 45g of protein!! It’s definitely helped in my muscle building journey!“

“This is my second time. Had the Birria quesadilla and tacos. They are amazing. The first time I had a burrito. It was so good!“

“We had the pleasure of stopping at The Root Cellar in Batesburg for lunch today, and wow—what an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for what turned out to be an outstanding meal. My wife ordered the grilled pork chops with three vegetables, while I went with a classic hamburger and fries. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the food arrived hot and fresh with barely any wait time. The attention to detail in both the preparation and presentation was evident. Our server, Janice, was an absolute delight—greeted us with a smile and was full of great recommendations to help us choose the perfect meal. Her friendly, attentive service made the experience even better. If you’re anywhere near Batesburg, The Root Cellar is a must-visit. Outstanding food, top-notch service, and a welcoming atmosphere—highly recommended!“

“Neither of our dinners were served as described in the menu. I strongly suspect the waitress couldn't read as we are in the habit of pointing to our selection when ordering and she didn't look down or write anything. This will be our last time here. Such a shame. Used to be great.“

“The pizza is freshly prepared and is very tasty, and the place is usually pretty clean with good customer service. The last two times I have visited, the service wasn't as good and I felt rushed to place my order. Please work on having more patience. Other than that, I would recommend.“

“First time trying BJ's Restaurant it was very good. Everything was clean. Food presentation was on point even to the side salad the prep staff proved they care about their job. Steak was prepared perfectly even with a mixed choice menu. Thanks for a great time!“

“We have been regularly coming here for years, always consistently good food. Today I had my usual nacho basket, for some reason the jalapeños are now dumped on top of the chips, I suppose for presentation. problem is that the juice makes the chips soggy. this might seem petty but there's nothing worse than soggy chips. also the cheese sauce was brown and clumpy, like it was old. this was my first bad meal. please go back to the peppers in a cup and a nice fresh creamy cheese sauce. thanks!“

“Kevin strudel and like always been a phenomenal experience. Food is so good it is always so hard to decide on what to get! They can be quite busy so expect to wait

Parking: Parking lot located behind the restaurant, can be easy to miss“

“This spot is da bomb. I love getting the devil's chocolate cake with cheesecake 😋. It's so addictive! If I could go almost every day, I would. By talking about it, I want a slice now. I can't wait to dig into one again. Also, try the peanut butter 🥜 cookies. You won't regret it.“

“The young gentleman that checked me out today, Durance, was EXCELLENT and made my entire day!!. He was quick to help & eager to ask how I was doing. He certainly deserves some praise for how kind and helpful he was! The world & workforce needs more people like him. Go be great, Durance!“

“Kudos to Taryn (spelling) for giving us outstanding service today! If you haven’t had her as your server, you should request her!“

“First time eating at Panera. Went just for a dipper that was advertised on TV. Unfortunately they were out of it. Settled for French Onion soup. It was good but because of the distance we had to go I most likely will not be going back. It was very clean and the staff was friendly.“
