50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Antioch

“Delicious vegan food —flavorful, hearty, and satisfying! The staff is kind and welcoming.“

“The food and service at Abem Ethiopian restaurant is amazing!! We were craving Ethiopian food after having moved to TN from the San Francisco Bay Area and didn’t mind the 1.5hour drive after experiencing a selection of dishes at Abem. We enjoyed a large salad, veggie combo and doro tibs which we shared and still had leftovers to enjoy at home. Any time we’re anywhere near Nashville we stop at Abem. This is a family owned business operated with love. Hope you enjoy it, too.“

“Eggstravaganza is the best brunch spot! Their food is always hot and fresh. 10/10!!!“

“This was our choice for lunch on a recent trip to the Nashville area. I'm glad we tried it!

This restaurant is inside a medium-sized grocery store. We didn't explore the grocery that much but it seemed like it had a nice balance of dry food goods, refrigerated items, and small objects, mostly either for cooking or the occasional gift. It was clean inside and being a grocery store had a good bit of parking outside.

The restaurant is on the far right as you enter. We were greeted warmly and told to seat ourselves. Menus were delivered promptly.

I ordered a Thai tea to drink. Hubs got the fried shrimp appetizer and we both chose noodles for lunch; he opted for pad see ew and I got drunken noodles.

The restaurant was fairly busy but despite the crowdedness it still felt easy to have conversation with each other. Our food came out quickly but had clearly been cooked fresh.

The Thai tea was the one thing that didn't hit at all. It had a very intense flavor that I couldn't quite place compared to all the other Thai teas I've had. Could just be this one is more traditional, lol. But it wasn't quite as sweet as I'm used to and it almost had a subtly salty vibe; I wouldn't get it again.

That said, the cooked food items were quite good. The breading on the shrimp was incredibly crispy and even I liked them well enough at first; the flavor was light and the texture not rubbery. We did ultimately realize these shrimp had not been deveined, which is not our preference but I understand it's not a requirement to be able to eat them.

The noodle dishes really shone, though. Hubs liked his pad see ew and we both thought my drunken noodles were even better. Lots of tender but still-crisp veggies in both. Strong and pleasantly aromatic basil flavor in mine. Large portion sizes. The noodles were cooked well and were pleasantly chewy. Mine was lightly spicy but nothing intense; I wound up adding more chili oil from the small container on the table.

Service was a highlight throughout; the women working were very personable, got us to-go boxes, and were attentive to any other needs we had.

Lots of menu choices here and fresh food prepared quickly. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area.“

“We have been awaiting S&H at the Factory for some time and boy did it not disappoint! We had the Husky Red Light Special pizza…BUT….do not think you don’t need some wings! They were some of the best wings I ever had!! Mafia style!! Of course we had to try the cinnamon rolls…they too were epic! We also had the pleasure to meet Clint one of the owners! What a super guy! He really took time to chat with us, told us a little bit about the S&H story and I can def see why he and his partners/business is so successful! With all that said… I know you’re wanting to check out Slim & Husky’s as soon as possible or as soon as your tummy starts grumbling,Ha!“

“My family came in today on a Sunday. It was not busy, food was made fresh to order, and the food was delicious! We got the chimichangas and chicken/cheese/rice with a cheese dip. Service was wonderful and very attentive! The ice cream is made there and we got some to go. This is a must visit food spot!!!! 10/10!!!“

“Saw a review of Everest Restaurant and Bar and saw they served Nepali, Indian, and Bhutanese cuisines. I’ve never had Nepali food and looked forward to learning how different it was from Indian foods. My server Sushmita took my drink order, and I wanted to try a Gorkha Beer from Nepal. Sadly, they were out of Gorkha so I went with Taj Mahal beer from India…a very good lager. I wanted to try a variety of different items and informed Sushmita my spice level was mild, so I ordered the following: Chicken Momo JHOL. I’m still not sure if this is a soup or a dumpling stew. The Momo are pretty big, and there were eight of them in this dish. I would rank this “soup” as one of the best soups I’ve ever enjoyed and would order this again and make this my meal! The Lamb Thali is a platter made up of several different dishes which are supposed to create a balanced meal. I cannot remember what Sushmita called each little cup of food or sauce on the tray but the lamb was to be eaten with one, two, or many of the side sauces or garnishments. The lamb was slightly overcooked but wasn’t tough and overall this was still a good dish and an experience in itself. I did figure out the small round ball is the dessert item called Gulab Jamun…OMG it was rich, sweet, and delicious. The place is not much to look at on the inside but it is clean, and while Sushmita and I may have experienced some communication issues, she took great care of me. There are a few more interesting noodle dishes here I would love to try on my next visit.“

“Vibes were just right with nice music playing in the background and the decor was very cute! The lamb chops, loaded mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, catfish and French toast were off the chain for brunch! Make sure Chef Rome is in the building and you'll have an experience you'll never forget!“

“FIRST TIME VISITOR W/5 FRIENDS FOR DINNER & COCKTAILS. MICHELLE GREETED US IMMEDIATELY. SMILES & VERY WELCOMING. SHE WAS HELPFUL TO RECOMMEND FOODS & TELL US THE WHAT DRINKS SHE WOULD RECOMMEND. HER ATTITUDE WAS UPLIFTING & PLEASANT. KEEP CHECKING BACK WITH US AFTER FOOD DEL'D AND ASKED ABOUT COCKTAILS REFILLS. HER SMILE WAS CONTAGIOUS. WHAT A DELIGHTFUL EXPERICENCE TO HAVE HER AS OUR SERVER. HATS OFF TO MICHELLE!!!! LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE OF OLE RED TOO“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville—food and vibes are so good!! Shoutout to Ari for being the best waitress ever!“

“Y’all we drove from Birmingham to eat here. Graze Nashville did not disappoint! Amazing food! The Brussels were my favorite 😋“

“The atmosphere is very nice and the food is delicious!“

“If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee is the place to be. As someone who has traveled almost 80 miles to indulge in the delicious Turkish food, I can attest that Edessa Restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be missed. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who welcome you with a smile. The service is prompt, and the food always arrives hot and fresh. The menu is detailed in English, making it easy to understand, and there is no confusion when it comes to choosing what to order. What makes Edessa Restaurant stand out is the presentation of their food, which is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Each dish is beautifully plated, and the flavors are expertly balanced. The cleanliness of the restaurant is also noteworthy, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic dining experience. In my recent visits, our server Hanan was exceptional. Her name in Arabic means "Tenderness with compassion and affection," and she truly lived up to her name by providing prompt and attentive service with a smile. As someone who has tried various types of cuisine from different cultures, I can confidently say that Edessa Restaurant's Turkish food and service are unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new and unique to visit Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, TN. I give it 5 stars, and it is undoubtedly the number-one Turkish restaurant around.

“My sister, daughter, and I stumbled upon Assembling Food Hall last night before the Mumford and Sons concert at Bridgestone. We were very impressed. It was clean, spacious, and had a variety of food and drinks. It was definitely not crowded like all the bars. The prices were decent too. This will definitely be our go to spot from now on.“

“Food was amazing! Loved the experience“

“AMAZING FIND in Nashville! The Tiew Gang Vegan noodle soup is really good!“

“You can’t beat the Skull room in Nashville. The food, service, music, and atmosphere 5 plus stars! Highly recommend“

“The best dining experience I’ve ever had. The chef’s choice was an awesome choice! Everything that came out was delicious. Our servers were wonderful especially our waitress who had us sign her Nancy Drew book. That added to the experience! Can’t wait to go back!“

“amazing food and staff! The brunch is top tier“

“This restaurant is the true meaning of southern hospitality. Great food and their corn pudding is wonderful. It's truly a blessing to have such a wonderful place here in Nashville!“

“This is the one place I can safely eat with allergies and feel like Nashville is still the home I’ve loved for forty six years. They keep it real from menu to vibe. I moved to Gallatin but will make the trip for Vegelicious. The best soul food, vegan or otherwise!“

“From the first bite to the last, ETCH delivered one of the best dining experiences we've ever had We started with the shrimp and squid bruschetta, and it immediately set the tone for the evening The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The salmon was beautifully prepared with fresh vegetables that complemented it perfectly. The filet was fork-tender with an incredible sauce, while the osso buco was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and paired beautifully with sides. The venison was tender, perfectly cooked, and seasoned to perfection. Dessert was unforgettable. The chocolate mousse à la mode was rich yet light, paired with creamy vanilla ice cream and a hint of passion fruit. Three of us ordered that. We knew it would not be for sharing. The blueberry sundae featured the best blueberries we've ever tasted. And then there was the chocolate peanut butter brownie ice cream. As someone who's spent years trying chocolate peanut butter ice cream everywhere—from roadside shops to gelato in Italy—I can confidently say ETCH's version deserves to be considered one of the best in the world. The creamy chocolate and peanut butter, combined with rich brownie pieces, made it absolutely unforgettable. Normally I'd recommend a favorite dish, but I can't—because everything we ordered was exceptional. My advice? Go with a group, order a variety of dishes, and share everything. Every appetizer, entrée, side, and dessert that hit our table was outstanding, and every single person left talking about their favorites. Deb Paquette is a visionary and deserves a standing ovation The quality of the food, the creativity of the menu, the impeccable service, and the very reasonable prices make ETCH absolutely worth the trip. It's rare to find a restaurant where every single dish exceeds expectations, but ETCH did exactly that. We left already planning our next visit. I am still thinking about the ice cream and how I can get some delivered to my house.“

“It's small, usually busy, and absolutely worth the wait. The tacos are simple, fresh, and consistently great. I've probably recommended Mas Tacos to more people than any other taco spot in Nashville. Don't leave without trying the fried avocado taco.“

“We had their breakfast & IT WAS AMAZING. The pancakes were hands down the best I have ever had. The staff were so nice as well. We will be back!“

“Some of the BEST flavors and service in Nashville. The drinks and dishes are a cut above. I cannot wait to go back 😍❤️“

“Really, really good food and beer! Awesome clean spot!!“

“We got there within 40 minutes of closing (not busy thank goodness for us). We were served quickly. We had the Detroit pizza and it was fabulous. Food was great and the service was fabulous. We are only here for two days, otherwise I would definitely go again.“

“We had to come to this institution of Southern Meat and 3 Restaurants. As a Chef, I always seek out the best places in the cities I travel to. They won a James Beard Award in 2009. Met the Owner, Rose, and her son, Cahill. They bought is dessert which was this awesome Bread Pudding and Peach Pie that was just incredible. This is a place that shows what True Southern Food and True Southern Hospitality are all about. Thank You“

“Brunch and Drag show were so much fun! Our bachelorette party, loved the vibe!“

“This place is its own vibe, my homie that lives up there took us here to try and it was quite the experience. Chili cheese fries to die for, Gabby's burger was the bomb, the selection of sauces was great. All around top burger joint I've had in a long time“

“After dreaming of visiting I was finally in the area. Holy moly, I don't know when I've tasted such yummy treats, and they are GF! The lemon blueberry muffin and the pecan upside down cake are to die for. I can't wait to be back in the area!“

“Absolutely awesome Biscuits. Vegan but you would never know the difference. Opening soon. Go check them out.“

“This is a very cool place to visit, with live music on the weekend, a nice vibe and very good service. The food was great, made fresh, and finished faster than expected. My wife and I will definitely be going back to try more of the items on their menu.“

“I am so happy I found Two Hands. The food here is so delicious and very fresh and flavorful. The portions are pretty big. We ordered the mushroom bowl with added salmon and my boyfriend ordered the burger with fries. We wanted to come back immediately for dinner. They also have locations in Denver.“

“It’s been a number of years since we frequented Kayne Prime due to a move out of state. Last night’s experience was excellent. We were celebrating my husband’s retirement and each staff member we encountered asked about it, congratulated him and took care to make it notable. You also upped your game with the cute goat cheese tarts and palette cleanser. Last night was truly an experience above the excellent meal you are known for. We are blessed to have dined in many high end restaurants and last night you especially rose to the top. Must shout out our server Matthew. He is so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Thank you for going above and beyond. It was a night and meal to remember!“

“My wife visited here about 6 months ago and got coffee on her way to the airport and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. We’re here for New Years and she made sure we came by. I got an iced white mocha, which is better than anyone I’ve ever had anywhere else and we also shared a Biscoff cheesecake which was absolutely incredible. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is amazing, you can’t go wrong if you come check this place out.“

“Solid option for vegan tacos in Nashville. The potato taco was definitely the standout for me. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and the food came out fast. Not the best vegan tacos I’ve ever had, but still worth trying if you’re in the area. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-08“

“Absolutely great food, great atmosphere and incredible service. Don't miss out on the experience 🌹“

“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.“

“I came in to town for a few days and checked out this place. I had the best service and amazing dinner. We had the BBQ wrap!“

“Pinewood in Nashville was amazing! We came here for a bachelorette party and had the best experience. The food was incredible, the drinks were on point, and the service made us feel like total VIPs. Our group was taken care of from start to finish and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Pinewood if you’re looking for a fun spot in Nashville with great vibes, great food, and great service!“

“Once every week or two, I take a sacred day off, work out for approximately 4 hours, burn approximately 47,000 calories, and then come here.

Why, you ask?

The food is good. The blackened salmon, chicken, steak, asada, all delicious. Honestly, that’s maybe 25% of the reason I come here.

The other 75%?

THE QUESO.

I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. THAT. QUESO.

I take that little bowl home with me like it’s a super hot date. I cherish it. I respect it. I lick that tiny bowl clean with absolutely zero shame. That queso has seen things.

BUT TODAY,
Today, the woman responsible for QUESO betrayed me.

She filled my bowl to approximately 17% capacity. Maybe 1/5. I’m being generous. This was not queso. This was a queso sample.

I have never seen this woman before. She is new. I don’t know her. She doesn’t know me. Clearly, she does not understand the history between me and this queso.

I only discovered the crime after I got home.

And honestly? This hurt worse than when I lost my friend in middle school during the war in Syria. I am devastated. Broken. Emotionally unavailable.

Am I going to drive back?
No.

Am I going to call?
Absolutely not.

I will simply sit here, staring into this pathetic, empty queso bowl, wondering where it all went wrong.

Three stars because the food is good.
Zero stars for the emotional terrorism.

(Sad queso empty bowl pic is included as evidence)

Update: i didn’t email the restaurant, i love this place too much to not give it 5 stars.
Frankly, if they give me less cheese every visit i go, i ll still go back. I love you Baja burrito ❤“

“Good ambiance, good drinks and good food. Even better our waitress Stacy was awesome. I'd go back just to sit at her table and have drinks!“

“Most laid back Jeni's in town. We're new to Nashville and found Jeni's at the Farmer's Market. But we like the East Nashville location better. Ice cream is amazing and the waffle bowls are the stuff dreams are made of.“

“We came to Husk with high expectations for elevated Southern cuisine, and the quality of the food certainly delivered. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, and it’s clear the kitchen takes great pride in its ingredients and execution.

That said, we were a bit disappointed by the limited menu selection, as we expected a few more options. We also felt that some of the dishes were priced on the high side relative to the portion sizes.

Overall, it was a good dining experience, and we’re glad we tried it. While it wasn’t quite the value or variety we were hoping for, others looking for refined Southern cooking may still enjoy it. For us, it was a one-time experience.“

“We came here for a girls' night out and were absolutely blown away! The restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view of the Nashville skyline, creating a beautiful ambiance. The food was exceptional! The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was incredibly fresh with great flavor--an absolute must-try!! The duck fat fries were perfectly crispy and served with three delicious sauces, each one better than the last. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, juicy and tender, and the seared scallop on the side was a delightful addition. This spot is perfect for a girls' night out or a rom“

“An incredible dining experience in Nashville with phenomenal food and top-notch hospitality.

The meal started off strong with the coffee, which was absolutely amazing. Food-wise, the omelette was top tier, perfectly prepared and full of flavor, and the potatoes were a really solid side to round out the plate.

The service throughout the visit was fantastic. A huge shoutout to Jack for being extremely helpful, attentive, and making sure we were well taken care of the entire time.

Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!“

“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!“

“• The Vibe: Efficient. Warm. 5-Star Service. • The Miss: Alfredo was too light. (Nothing beats Nana's). • The Hit: Scallops & Risotto were perfect. • The MVP: The desserts stole the show.“

“The burger is the most amazing burger I have every had!“
