50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Memphis

“Why, I LOVE this place! Had been intending to go and finally did! Thus far have visited about 3 or 4 times, hooked! I'm not even vegan, but I sure do love the food, ...trying to curb my meat appetite. ALWAYS GOOD/ fresh, with EXCELLENT friendly customer service. (You Know I had to purchase a T Shirt and Cap!) Making my rounds, trying to sample everything on the menu. Been on vacay, can't wait until Mon to order!“

“10/10! First time having this lovely place, received the combo with the chopped cheese, fried oyster, mushrooms, and sauce plus tea worth every penny! We’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Memphis.“

“In the heart of the Cooper Young district, this little cafe has some incredible vegan dishes. We tried the chicken and waffle (it tastes
like chicken!) and the BBQ platter. The BBQ was scrumptious and was flavorful. Savannah was a friendly and attentive server. Go support this small business if you are in the area.“

“Great food, fast and friendly service! The cashier Teyia, had such a devine personality. I look forward to my next visit here.“

Attentive, alert, and fun, she ensured the timely progression of the evening with sizzling steaks arriving on cue. She left no stone unturned and her ability to connect with the customer was magical. Thanks to the Chef and their team and certainly a big Thank you to Sonia. A great evening!“

“The food was delicious!!!“

“We tried Andalusia today for the first time and are going to be regulars from now on! The food is amazing-The environment is relaxing, calming, and cozy. Service is fantastic. Recommend 10/10“

“I love Brother Juniper’s, as does anyone else who actually comes to the restaurant. These last 3 bad reviews were fake and created by fans of a YouTube personality who was asked to be respectful to the other people eating after yelling and treating the restaurant like he owned it.“

“I ate there yesterday (first visit) and loved everything! I got the turkey and dressing, yams, and turnip greens. The portions were extremely generous, and the yams were especially delectable—like a dessert! The staff was welcoming, friendly and attentive, and I especially appreciated the history of the restaurant. I’ll be back again!“

“amazing food. we were recommended to go there from a manager at the bass pro shop. it was amazing. originally our sandwich we ordered was out, but the guy worked easily with us to replace the food. it was amazing and filled us up. next time we pass on through we will stop again“

“Our waitress was so much fun and very polite. She recommended some great birthday drink options and was willing to take my photos. I thought I would have some left overs but the food was so good, I didn't leave anything extra. I ordered the veggie roll and salmon with white rice. Will definitely visit them again soon.“

“I absolutely love this place… it is soooo good , I can’t wait to go back“

“An amazingly decorated little place!! We went to the location in Germantown. Quaint, friendly, super fast and amazing service! Zebra cake ice cream was awesome, Nanner’ puddin was very bananas!

“Visited SOB for first time (Collierville location) and I don't brag about food often since I wouldn't consider myself a "foodie", but this place was so good, and will definitely return. The Steak Chimichurri bowl was amazing. 🤌 The atmosphere was great as was the waitress!“

“I like to have business lunches at Seasons because the service is quick, the food is good, and the cost is reasonable. I made a reservation and asked to be seated at a booth in the bar. I intentionally arrived a few minutes before my reservation as I was meeting someone I did not know and did not want them to have to wait for me. When I arrived, I explained to the hostess that my guest, whom I did not know, would be meeting me. She assured me my guest would be led to my table once she arrived. I was led to a booth in the very back of the bar where it was difficult to see people arriving. After about 10 minutes, I went back to the hostess to remind her I was meeting someone, I told her my guest's name, and I was once again assured my guest would be bought to my table. Several minutes later, the hostess leads a woman to the booth next to mine. The woman tells the hostess she was meeting someone. We both sat alone for another 5 minutes before we both started to get out from our booths to ask if we were meeting each other. We were! Very embarrassing and both of us sat alone unnecessarily. This was very unprofessional on the part of the host staff who could have easily asked my guest her first name, assuming they paid any attention to my request.“

“Review: Char Restaurant – Highland Street, Memphis | Rating: 4.5/5.0

Today, I’m sharing my experience at Char Restaurant, located on Highland Street in Memphis. This is a fine dining restaurant, and I chose it to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We made a reservation for two, and everything from the moment we arrived was smooth and welcoming.

We were seated promptly, and the atmosphere was elegant and relaxing, just as you’d expect from a fine dining establishment. The staff were courteous and professional. I don’t recall the name of our server, but he took excellent care of us throughout the evening.

🍽️ What We Ordered:
Fried Chicken (Main Course) – Served with vegetables and gravy, this dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the presentation was spot on.
Shrimp and Grits with French Fries – My friend ordered this and mentioned it was the best she’s ever had. The shrimp were well-cooked, and the grits were creamy and flavorful.
Blueberry Banana Pudding – This dessert was a delightful surprise. I had asked the server to bring it out as a birthday surprise, and he did so perfectly — bringing it out when she wasn’t looking, which made the moment even more special.
💬 Final Thoughts:
We had a wonderful time celebrating, and my friend truly enjoyed her special day. I really appreciate the hospitality and attention to detail shown by the Char team. The food, service, and ambiance all came together to create a memorable experience.

We’re definitely planning to return soon to explore more of the menu.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5.0

Thank you to the entire team at Char for making our evening so enjoyable!“

“Discovered this place when we were visiting Memphis. Delicious, healthy vegetarian options!“

“Great food and staff! Highly recommend“

“The Bruschetta and Veal Piccata were excellent. Our service was great. A thoroughly enjoyable meal.“

“It has been a while since we have been to Amerigo. We've been snowed in all week and we had a gift card, so we were looking forward to our dinner. We were both disappointed in the food this time. Every other time the food has been outstanding and it jut wasn't on this visit. My husband had his favorite, the cannelloni. I had the chicken Marsala. Hubby said his was not as good as he remembered it being, but it was still okay. My Marsala was bland. I brought half of it home to doctor it a bit before eating it again. Marcus did a good job and was very attentive. However, we did not get any bread until after we finished our salads. We missed having it before and during the salads. He did bring us very hot bread right after the salads and it was delicious. After a very disappointed dinner, we were looking forward to the best part, the tiramisu. For years, we have raved about it and always order it when going to Amerigo. It has always been at the top of our list of favorite desserts. Not this time! It was dry and they must have changed chocolate vendors as the chocolate was not the same delectable flavor that it has been in the past. We left not sure if a next visit will even be worth it. That makes me sad as Amerigo has always been one of our favorite "special" places.“

“I've enjoyed everything I've had from the menu but my favorites are the gyro bowl, feisty (spicy) feta dip, and the mint lemonade (which comes frozen and is so satisfying). My wife loves the salads and falafel. This is a locally-owned restaurant with great healthy options at a good price.“

“A wonderful experience. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves.“

“FAMILY THROUGH AND THROUGH!

We grabbed dinner here the other night and it was magnificent! THE Mike Garibaldi himself greeted us at the door and introduced us into the restaurant making some recommendations. While we had never been to this location, we’ve been going to Garibaldi’s for many decades.

We started with the pizza bread and you have to know that the bread was probably the softest I’ve ever eaten. I had the spaghetti dinner with meat sauce and Italian spinach on the side. The food was delicious! Hot and flavorful. We also got a cheese pizza that was good as well.

It was great being at a local restaurant owned and managed by one of the longstanding families in the city.“

“We were walking around downtown Memphis and decided to try Flying Saucer. We were having a late lunch early dinner so the restaurant was not crowded. The server was prompt and friendly getting us our drinks and taking our order. We had an appetizer, the pretzel and burgers for the main meal. The food was well prepared and very tasty. I highly recommend this place“

“The pastries and baked goods are absolutely phenomenal. Hands-down the best gluten free bakery I have discovered thus far. The owner is an absolute delight to deal with and her staff is friendly and delightful.
I will definitely be back and would recommend to those looking for gluten free treats that are delicious. You will not be disappointed.“
