50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Denton

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve been longtime fans of 940’s—back when the hummus and veggie plate had us in a full-on emotional relationship. 💁‍♀️ Yes, we were a little heartbroken when the menu changed, but we never fault a place for growing and evolving. That said, we had stopped coming for a bit because, honestly… the service just hadn’t been it. The food was always great, but the vibe wasn’t. We took a break. We missed it. And yesturday—we came back. And THANK GOODNESS WE DID. The food was absolutely phenomenal (more on that below), but what truly brought us back into the 940’s fan club was Diana. Our waitress. Our queen. Our Lunch MVP. She was kind, attentive, hilarious, and genuinely made us feel like we were the highlight of her day. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked, gave us fantastic recommendations, and treated us like old friends. She wasn’t just doing her job—she was the energy. She took a great meal and made it a memorable experience. Diana, if you see this: You’re the reason we’ll be back again and again. Give this woman a raise, a crown, and whatever shift she wants. Now, the food: • The pulled pork poppers? 10/10. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and smoky inside, with two sauces that made it impossible to pick a favorite. A flavor-packed appetizer we wouldn’t change a single thing about. • The fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese? Elite. Thick, crunchy, juicy chicken with all the right toppings and that creamy, dreamy pimento that took it into comfort food heaven. • We also tried the Lemon Pom Pom and a Strawberry mocktails—both light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced to pair with the richness of the meal. (We love a good mocktail moment.) Bottom line: Diana + that kitchen crew? Match made in food heaven. 940’s is officially BACK in our regular rotation. 🖤 #DentonEats #940sKitchen“

“The bathrooms are nice, they are neat and very clean! Very friendly workers, very communicative. I think usually you bring your food to your table (could be wrong), today they brought it to us. Food didn’t take more than a few minutes to be out!“

“Great food! I dig it. I love the theme in general. The benches are comfy. I recommend the green Chile pork with a corn tortilla and the republican with a flour tortilla. Get you some tacos, and Enjoy!❤️“

“Best Thai in our area.“

“The atmosphere, the vibe, the music is on target. The waitstaff is very knowledgeable and pleasant. The food did not disappoint.“

“This is by far my favorite pizza ever! We found them accidentally as we were looking for food delivery late night and they were one of the few open and we are SO happy we found Zalat! The pizza is amazing. Always fresh, reheats great and the unique flavors are just perfection. Don’t forget about the dipping sauce they add. LOVE!!“

“I absolutely love coming to egg house. Food is always fresh and DELICIOUS. Service is incredible. it’s always consistent too!!!! I’ve never had an “off” visit here or menu items that aren’t good. Everything hits, every single time. Crepes, waffles, pancakes, skillets, eggs Benedict’s. All FIRE.“

“Sidney is great .personable and takes care of the customer needs“

“The Best Italian Dining Experience in Denton! Osteria il Muro is an absolute gem! From the moment we walk in, James, the manager, greets us with genuine warmth and excitement, making us feel like long‑lost friends every time. Elsa is an absolute treasure — she treats us like family and delivers the best service we’ve ever had. And the chef? An absolute artist! Every dish is a masterpiece, from the delicate scallop crudo to the savory tri‑tip special, and the desserts… I’m not exaggerating when I say they make me want to cry — they’re that delicious. We never want to leave this magical place. A true five‑star experience from start to finish!“

“Food was amazing, love the outdoor seating on beautiful days like today, & Mason was great! Will be back for sure!“

“Great place to unwind and relax“

“**The Hungry Beard**
Honest food review for Oldwest Cafe of Denton
I’m reviewing this for their breakfast/brunch

Food: 4.2
A very good brunch/breakfast spot. I ordered an array to really get a feel for the place. The menu is extravagant..took me some time. The flap jack was great. Huge portion, great flavor. Not too dry. Biscuits and sausage gravy were good. Biscuit was soft/thick and gravy was a good consistency. The bacon wasn’t as crispy as I like and was thicker cut, so had a bit of a meaty chew to it. The fried potatoes were delicious and crispy. Honestly probably the best ones I’ve had, most places are soggy. The ham was mid. Not my favorite. I ordered over easy eggs and they were very watery once cut. The whites weren’t done (sigh). Waitress quickly brought me over medium (Which shouldn’t be the doneness of the white. Over easy eggs have a runny yolk, while over medium eggs have a slightly more cooked, jammy yolk). Nonetheless they were better and more so what the over easy should have been. Be advised when ordering them this way. Ramsey does say a true test for a chef is make him cook an egg! French toast was excellent, and the fruit was fresh. Other than the egg debacle, I can see why so many people eat here. Huge portions, large menu to cater to a lot of different people, and the food is well above chain breakfast spots. Not innovative, but good!

Service: 4.0
Nothing spectacular here to report, but the job was done. She asked how our food was and I gave my feedback on the eggs. She quickly offered to remake them.

Atmosphere: 3.6
I ate here for Tuesday brunch. It was still pretty busy and loud. They have lots of seating (booths as well). It appeared clean. Decor gives me Cracker Barrel vibes. Lots of families, kids, & babies. If this describes you, you’ll fit in just fine! Hard to find places to bring kids/big families, and this is a good breakfast spot with a menu that will appeal to a lot of variety of people. If you’re looking for a romantic brunch spot though this isn’t the place.

Overall: 4.0
Good breakfast/brunch spot for Denton, and can see why so many people eat here. It’s not on my best breakfast spots, but it’s well above mid. Bring your appetite!“

“Extremely delicious and super friendly service.“

“Good food good prices!! Recommend this place for anyone!“

“We had gyros, hummus, fried cauliflower, and baklava. Everything was amazing!“

“Place has stood the test of time. Without dating myself I used to go here all the time when I was a student at UNT. Still the same place! Giant and I mean GIANT burgers. Fries, spicy fried pickles, and the wings were all great. I try to get a new burger every time I go and I’m yet to have one I didn’t like. They also do a monthly burger which is cool. Good spot!“

“This establishment was a nice find while we were in the Denton area. This place is operated by a husband and wife team who said they have been operating the restaurant for 30 years, which explains why their food was so delicious. We live 190 miles away, but definitely plan on going back. The atmosphere in the place was nice and relaxing.“

“great food and great value. always greeted with incredible kindness and warmth. the salsa verde is especially good here.“

“We had the La Fondita food truck cater a celebration luncheon at our church. The food was delicious and the employees were friendly. We’re hoping for another opportunity to hire them again!“

“Dined in today with my husband. Romantically since we had the entire dining area. Tables are spaced out for distancing. At least 10 pick up orders while we enjoyed our hot and delicious wings. We always pick Pit and Cajun flavors, the fries were perfect too! Thanks to José, the cook, and Kyle provided great service!“

“Sidewalk Cafe is our favorite place to eat in Denton county. We have not had one thing to complain about, the food, service, and the cleanliness. Sam is great in the kitchen but SUSIE Is the sweetest friendliest owner we have ever met! Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The best pancakes ever! Always have to get a to go box.“

“My boyfriend's favorite place❤️“

“My family enjoyed a birthday lunch for our grandson! The food is very good and our waitress was top notch. Sushi, Hibachi Chicken, Hibachi Filet Mignon and Hibachi Steak & Shrimp..all delicious.“

“My quandary: give Hannah’s the rave review it deserves and risk not being able to get a table on a Saturday night or just pretend we never made it to dinner? Looking for a new restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, my wife made a reservation at this gem in Denton and we were not disappointed. Our table was laid out with rose petals to celebrate the occasion and the staff wished us a Happy Anniversary. The menu had a multitude of items that sounded mouth-watering, so the decision making process was tortuous. We settled on bacon wrapped dates and steamed mussels as appetizers. The dates were moist and the bacon crispy, a perfect bite of sweet and salty. The mussels were perfectly steamed with a delicious broth and the perfect crispy, warm French bread to sop it up. A great start. My wife ordered Beef Cheek stuffed Ravioli, remembering how much she loved the beef cheeks we first ate in Spain. Ground meat in the ravioli topped with a perfect ragu of tomatoes, beef cheek, and vegetables. I am drawn to duck whenever I see it on the menu and the Rosemary smoked Duck Breast was cooked to perfection; crispy skin, juicy meat, and a sun dried cherry pico tart enough to complement its maple syrup glaze. The sliced duck breast was served atop a wild rice and vegetable pancake that was unique and perhaps the star of the dish. Come on, who wouldn’t love pancakes for dinner? A couple glasses of wine with dinner, a slice of award winning carrot cake for desert with an espresso, and exquisite service all evening long made for an ideal anniversary celebration. Thank you to the kitchen staff and everyone in the front of the house and remember to save us a table on Saturday nights. See you soon.“

“Food was yummy and the service was excellent. First time visiting, and it was a great experience.“

“Love the food at this restaurant and the service is great. I also like that when I ask for 4 star hot, they make it hot, hot, HOT!!! They trust me to know my palate.“

“visited The Greenhouse in Denton, Texas, on Friday, July 25th, and really enjoyed the experience. The interior has a great casual dining vibe that’s perfect for conversation — relaxed but refined enough to feel like a treat.

Our waitress struck the perfect balance of attentiveness: available when needed but never intrusive. She gave us excellent recommendations when we were torn on what to order.

Pictured are two of our entrées:

Honey Chipotle Salmon – This was the table favorite. The salmon was glazed with a rich honey chipotle sauce and served alongside jack cheese mashed potatoes and broccolini. The dish was clean, flavorful, and well balanced — the richness of the potatoes was offset beautifully by the glaze. I could honestly put that glaze on anything. 😂

Stuffed Chicken – Filled with poblano pesto and jack cheese, this chicken dish was topped with a creamy poblano pesto sauce and served over the same jack cheese mashed potatoes. While tasty, it felt like it was missing something — maybe a pop of acidity or a marinade to liven up the chicken. Still enjoyable, just not quite as memorable as the salmon.

Overall, we had a fantastic dinner. The wine was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for a quiet Friday night out. I’m sure we’ll be back sooner rather than later.“

“Wow! Is there an option for more than 5 stars? The bartender made an absolutely fabulous, one-of-a-kind smoked old fashioned. The steak... I've paid three times the price for a meal with a fraction of the quality of this one. The meat was so tender that my steak knife was purely decorative, and the flavor was out of this world. Au jus or A1 need not apply, this thing was juicy and absolutely perfect. I cannot believe of all the restaurants I've come across in my travels that the Hilton Garden Inn would rank in my top 3, but this was truly fabulous! 12/10! 👏👏“

“This location has always provided amazing service and is the only place I reach out to when placing catering orders for my team and events. The staff are always open to working with the budget I have to ensure we get the best experience. The food is always at an appropriate temperature and the taste is incredible. We always get chicken for our catering orders, but they are also vegetarian friendly with their beans, tortillas, chips, and salad mix they include in addition to all the sauces and salsas they provide. Everyone on our team is always excited to see Chiloso in the office because it is always a delicious time. Thank you to the whole Chiloso Denton squad!“

“great service and food need to serve alcohol“

“I've come to Boomer's several times for games and chow. Thought I would finally write a review. Waitstaff are always friendly and prompt with your order. The food is always above average. Last night, the meatza pizza. It was one of the best I've had including in specialty pizza shops.“

“Excellent service. Good very good“

“Not worth the money! Just paid $16 and $15 for the curry ramen and spicy tonkatsu. We got about .10 worth of noodles, a single quarter size piece of fat which was supposed to be pork, all in a tasteless luke warm broth. We also got 2 kids ramen which was enough food for a hamster, maybe, if it was not very hungry. How can they charge those prices, its shameful. I will never get food here again, don't waste your time and hard earned money here. And trust me the other very few positive reviews must be by owners or workers cause they're total BS.“
