45 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.“

“The manager Laura was truly amazing. Went above and beyond to right an accidental mistake made by an employee. She was absolutely amazing and not only fixed the problem but made us feel truly valued. Will definitely go back, in this day and time customer service like this is unheard of!“

“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 .“

“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!“

“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!“

“The pork ribs appetizer was divine. The green curry was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The pad Thai was very good as well. Service was really great. The inside was more upscale than I thought it would be. The servers are wearing ties. We went for lunch and everything was priced right. It was a pleasant surprise to see a good choice of wines by the glass. The hot tea comes out in a nice pot. We traveled an hour to go there and it was well worth the trek. Please open a Bodhi II in Aiken!! Please. 😀“

“Food is phenomenal! Prices are appropriate for quality and quantity . Would highly recommend. We eat there 3x a month, and servers may vary, but service is always excellent. Have never been chastised for not wearing a mask nor have I seen anyone else made to feel uncomfortable about not having a mask. IF YOU LIKE THAI, YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO GIVE THIS RESTAURANT A TRY!!“

“The Lobster Masala was delicious and my top favorite! The Tandoori Mixed Grill was good along with the Naan bread! Indian tea was warm and soothing. I'll be back to try other foods in the near future.“

“The good - fresh fast cheap lots of topping choices and Gluten free options😍Lots of free parking.

The bad - anemic portion of toppings (maybe depends who’s working). Bland. Thin crust but still hard to chew. Utterly forgettable. I miss Blaze Pizza 🍕“

“Always liked going to Flight deck. This time ordered cordon Bleu and was disappointed. It was four cut up pieces and looked like it was deep fried and for to long..did not enjoy it at all have gotten it there before and enjoyed it. Got a piece of raspberry lemon cheesecake..more cake than cheese will try different choices next time“

“Just left on a Saturday night. The place was busy. The young man waiting on us was awesome looked like he was a cast member from the jersey shore. Very personable. The food was great another great meal. Until next time.“

“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!“

“Shout out to the BEST SERVER IN COLUMBIA -REBECCA!!! Me and my 3 little girls(7,9, &10yr) came in on a Sunday(1hr before closing btw)and she didn't hesitate to greet us with a Warm smile! ❣I was teaching them how to be ladies that day 😅and she was Soooo kind and patient with them. They each ordered for themselves and she even went along with the whole learning experience🥹. She engaged with them with convo , tended to each of there needs and the food came out in a timely manner. It was hot and tasty. She wasn't trying to push us out the door 😅 she was consistently polite. If you are reading this Rebecca, we are Truly Thankful we had you as our server. It was a Excellent and Beautiful core memory made that day❣🥹 Blessings to you and your Family IJN💗
Ask for Rebecca y'all 😆😅“

“Food is always wonderful and delicious! Highly recommend!“

“We love Mai Thai. We have been going there for years. Everything is fresh. One of the best restaurants in the area. The wait staff ROCK!!!!“

“Dined here last night for the first time and had a wonderful time and meal. The staff were all very helpful and attentive. The food was delicious. Our party enjoyed both sushi and hot entrees. The eggplant dish was very flavorful and the sushi was fresh and tasty.“

“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 have been eating here at least 2-3 times a month for the last couple of years. The food is always awesome! The people are friendly. The only problems we've had are loud drunk college kids, but that was only once. The people that talk about getting sick from their food must be talking about somewhere else. We've never had a problem, and as much as we go, we would have noticed.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had a party of four meeting for an older siblings birthday who is 73 and diabetic. We also had a party member with celiac disease requiring gluten free options. Our server was extremely patient with our small group and very aware of the dietary needs and quite attentive and friendly. The food is always good, everyone had something different, burger, salads, fish tacos, chili, spinach artichoke dip and the calamari was excellent. Not every restaurant gets calamari right, BJ's kitchen definitely knows how! Oh, and a couple of beer flights to sample their home brews too!“

“Our server, Shae, was great! Great service and great food! Update on June 25, 2026 (Thursday): Again we got superb service from our server, Herlan, and manager, Briann. We had a quick question about the salad and we got an unexpected visit from Briann who promptly and kindly took care of everything for us. This Olive Garden is great!“

“Food was fresh, yummy and hot. Eating in? Good choice. You will find light hearted stuff on the TV. The music was very good, in fact perfect for that environment. You get to fill your drink cup as often as you desire. The menu is very impressive. - lots of healthy choices. Perfect lighting and clean dining room. I ran across a friend and 2 neighbors. What a nice day I had while eating lunch at East Bay Deli West Columbia.“

“ROBIN, the Team Leas was my cashier when I visited with my family. It’s our first time at this location. She’s so accommodating, even introduced me to their new mix & match menu which is new to me. She explained how I can save with that option. I felt valued by her politeness and patience. I gave a 4 star because I find the chicken meat to be lesser. All the sandwiches and salad were freshly made. Great experience. I noticed Robin making sure the place is kept clean. She’s walking around wiping tables and throwing trash.“

“The folks on shift on 6/9/26 in the early afternoon were all so friendly. Each one was kind as we went through the line, and one of them came out to check on everyone who was seated in the dining area to make sure that we were all doing well. I saw cleaning happening, too, which can be rare. They were also friendly and kind to each other, even welcoming someone to work saying “welcome to work!“ which was obviously to be funny, but was just an example showing that they enjoy working together.“

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