50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Johns Island

“To say we’ve been sleeping on this culinary gem would be the understatement of the year 🫠 Unbelievable meal and wonderful service by Kim tonight!“

“So yummy. Friendly, helpful staff!“

“KISS Cafe is truly a hidden gem that has captured our hearts. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family—by the warm, welcoming staff, Chef Tim, and the incredible Ms. Leslie. The food is consistently phenomenal, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the love they show to our children (and everyone else’s) is something you just don’t find everywhere. Their dinner club nights are a highlight for us—perfect for a spontaneous date night with an amazing menu and vibe. We’re proud to be regulars and even prouder to support such a special local spot that brings so much heart to everything they do. KISS Cafe is more than a cafe—it’s a community.“

“Fast service when your very hungry and the food is spot on. Wait staff are very friendly and attentive. I take my family there once a week to catch up with each other and Cabana always facilitates wonderfully.“

“Well, after 25 years of visiting the Tomato Shed on a regular basis, you've finally done it. You made a meal that I didn't like. My mother in law (from Michigan) insists on going to the Tomato Shed every time they visit Charleston, which we are always happy to accommodate. This visit, I had the meatloaf. It was well prepared, others at our table thought it was great. I just didn't care for it. No, there was nothing wrong with it. Yes, it looked wonderful, and smelled amazing. I have no valid complaint about it. I just didn't care for it.

So, why am I writing this review? Because it is the first time since moving back home that I didn't absolutely love everything I've had there. Such a rarity needs to be remarked upon.

Our server was awesome (I didn't remember his name, but he was cheerful and fun), the ambience was very pleasant, as always, and the whole experience was excellent. But, for the first time ever, the Tomato Shed was not *perfect*.

Overall, great job. Keep up the good work.“

“The little hiding piece of perfection was awesome! Food, we had banners and corned beef, was delicious. Bartender was constantly making sure we were good. Servers was friendly and helpful.

Other than the perfect lighting, great selection and staff my only thought was some Irish music would have set a better tone.

Side note : save a little room for a small frozen yogurt next door. They staff was great too and their yogurt delicious!

Thank you for the experience.“

“FABULOUS smoked brisket/turkey ...sides are southern at its best...Local favorite....can't wait to go back!!!!!“

“What a quaint place!! From the food to the service, everything was great! Servings were generous & the Orange juice was yummy!! Can’t wait to go back next time I’m on the Island. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best vegan desserts I’ve had“

“I read a comment my friend posted about Hall’s Chophouse and I was curious. I was on my way to Florida and I told my wife I would take her there for our 26th. Anniversary. Well, I must say I have never, and I went to many restaurants and bars, I have never been so please with everything. The reception, the impeccable and amicable service by Scott, the food was sublime and the owner Billy was so cordial and friendly. From beginning to finish, the experience was exceptional. You MUST go there the food is AMAZING.“

“Exceptional wine selections in self serve machines and an owner that is extremely knowledgeable about wines throughout the world! Great service and a wonderful positive vibe. I can't wait to go back!“

“We went for lunch, there were so many great choices! We had the Pimento Cheese for an appetizer and it did not disappoint.

From the food & drink selection all the way down to the playful names for each sandwich (and the hilarious art in the bathrooms) the total vibe is 💯 ❤️ 10/10 recommend. Support your local sandwich master!“

“absolute best sushi and sashimi I've ever had“

“Love this place! Ambiance and waiters are amazing, definitely recommend doing a reservation. If you like spicy food then this is the place for you. If your a wimp with spice go somewhere else! The crescent dumplings are a must as well! . The sichuan pepper is a taste you’ll always remember!“

“The food was amazing the crystal was an amazing server prompt attentive ever though the whole restaurant was slammed 10 out of 10 would ear here again“

We had a delicious vanilla latte and an amazing fresh chocolate chip cookie. The ambiance was pleasant, with seating available inside and outside. Overall, I highly recommend Harken.“

“First time visit recommended by nephew. Great food, great server and prompt service. Always try to be considerate in not overstaying our welcome when people are waiting to be seated. We finished our lunch having been there a total of one hour , enjoying talk with nephew who we hadn’t seen in months when another employee rudely and abruptly said “so, are you ready to settle up?” Never have we felt like we were being ejected from a restaurant! And the real rub is there were at least 3 empty tables and a booth in our seating area. We three were so stunned by her rude manners, we politely gave her our card, (and she took the liberty of pre-selecting a 22% tip which we gladly gave our server)paid our bill and left - NEVER TO RETURN!“

“Yummy vegan options!, great service, and cute decor.“

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

“Always a pleasure to visit Beautiful South. The staff is all friendly, attentive, and accommodating. And the space is inviting and alive. The dining area has a more cozy section with booths and a buzzier section with small tables, but we always enjoy the spaceous bar, where Johnathan and Gabriel make excellent drinks (on and off menu) and are genuinely hospitable fellas. All of the food is cooked with care, good luck trying to decide what to eat without doing a complete tour de force of the menu. Beef dumplings are extremely flavorful, don't be scared of the rose water - it's just a hint but a unique and memorable one. The green beans are good enough to eat a popcorn bucket full. And the Hunan chicken is unctuous and saucy and just delicious. Did I mention there is plenty of convenient parking? What more do you want?“

“Food was excellent! Our server was excellent as well. We will be back!“

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!“

“Hands down this place is a secret hidden gem in West Ashley. Stopped by for a quick lunch after taking my pup to Ackerman park. Great prices, great food and great service! Definitely was not disappointed and will be letting everyone I know about this amazing Greek restaurant!“

“I have no clue on who the owners are, but I can tell you that all of their food is made with Love ❤️. You can see it and you can taste it. Everything I have ever had has always been so delicious. This place is a Charleston Gem and I pray this little place continues to Thrive and Prosper. Charleston Loves You❤️❤️“

“Amazing food. Everything is homemade. My fiancé and I live an hour away and it is always worth the drive. Must try! We have loved everything we have tried. After developing a gluten intolerance I can still enjoy their delicious gluten free lasagna. Even their homemade breads are much easier to digest than anything else I have tried! Such a treat to get their food 🥰“

“Best ice cream and waffle cone! 😊“

“where do i begin??? that dirty doctor pepper, phenomenal, the Totes ma GOATS sandwich? i nearly cried. Not only is it insanely good, the vibes???? sick. also someone left a v&pe at my table so that's just another bonus. imma go finish this sandwich now and play the fun games they have. go here“

“If you love pineapple, The Pineapple Hut is a must-visit. It’s fun, refreshing, and definitely Instagram-worthy. I couldn’t resist ordering the half pineapple filled with pineapple sherbet and topped with coconut flakes.

I’ll admit—I’m more of an ice cream person, so sherbet isn’t usually my go-to. But the whole experience was still a treat. The flavors are tropical and light, and the presentation adds to the charm. Perfect for a hot day after the beach or just a fun stop while exploring Folly.

Worth checking out, especially if you’re craving something fruity and unique.“

“Big Shout Out to Tina our server today at Metro Diner ! She was Wonderful! She came right over with a beautiful smile and took our beverage order. We told her we knew what we wanted. She had no problem taking our food order. She even made a suggestion to my husband that saved him a few cents. She was a ray of Sunshine. She was very attentive. She checked on us several times. The food is great! The staff is great! Their cooks know what they are doing!! You can aee they all work as a team ! We have never had a bad meal there!!“

“I got the bacon cheeseburger with a gluten free bun. It was amazing!“

“😊Good food, and cool atmosphere. I only wish the bar seats were taller.“
