50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near South Houston

“Ive been coming here for many years. Its little piece of neighborhood flavor. American fare with exorbitant portions and family friendly pricing. The steam table lunch/dinner options are just good old American choices like grandma used to make. From meatloaf to liver and onions with two sides(many daily choices of entree and sides) that will having you take home leftovers as your next big meal. I highly recommend for the ambiance, the staff and the family friendly pricing. This place has been here as long as I can remember(since 1952). Early closing times so check their website/Facebook page or call for operating hours. Will post pics next time I come here.“

“Authentic Nicaraguan food, this what my in-laws from Nicaragua said. I have been there last year so I decided to come back with them and they loved the food. I really liked their frittanga de res, and their cacao drink. I wish it was closer to my house to visit them more often!“

“Nice and clean establishment. I don’t have any complaints.
We were greeted by a nice lady and waited by a young man ) Carlos) was very efficient and knowledgeable about the dishes. The young waiter brought us a spicier salsa ( Molcajete) which was not hot to me but maybe to others. I did appreciate the delightful flavor.

I had the Los tacos de Birria ( Goat meat) on handmade tortillas(up charge). The tacos come in an order of three. They are filling and very rich in flavor. I had a blast eating my meal. Also, The Chilaquiles are pretty fire! I recommend everything on the menu.“

“I liked it. Typical Chinese buffet offerings, but done right. They also have a little Mexican taco station(I didn't try it) and pupusas(I did try them, they were good. They also have pizza, it was good as well. For dessert I would recommend the chocolate cake and coffee cake. We went on a Sunday, so it was crowded but didn't wait too long, maybe 10 minutes. Eventough it was crowded, service was still good. Would definitely be going back.“

“1/12/2025-This is a awesome vibe here. The ambiance is a nice bistro with some crazy art to keep you entertained but the music and lighting sets the mood. I would come back here again and again. I visited here without a reservation and was greeted when I first came in. The staff was nice friendly and attentive. Emma was awesome and recommended some dishes. The burger, half chicken, rice, and sesame butter cookie were awesome and the drinks. I had the voodoo drink. I highly recommended and you won't be disappointed.“

“Very good service and superb food! A must-try when visiting downtown Houston.“

“We enjoyed our first experience here, very nice ambience for a fine dining, delicious filet mignon steaks and our daughters love the classic Mac and cheese and the chocolate cake desserts. The price we pay is nothing compared to the very professional and wonderful service we received that I didn’t think twice giving additional tip. Did not regret celebrating my wife’s birthday here.“

“POST Houston Food Hall is one of my favorite places in the city! It’s home to two of my favorite restaurants — Foreign Grill and Beckova Dough Bar. At Foreign Grill, you can enjoy authentic, home-style Eastern European dishes full of rich flavor and tradition. At Beckova Dough Bar, you’ll find fresh handmade specialties that are truly unique and hard to find anywhere else. It’s the perfect place to try something different, discover new flavors, and still feel right at home. The atmosphere is vibrant, the food options are diverse, and there’s always something exciting to explore. Highly recommend visiting!“

“Un excelente servicio por parte de Eli, la comida deliciosa se los recomiendo y las micheladas“

“After seeing on television that the restaurant won a James Beard award, I put it on my list of places to go. The expectations were pretty high, and our party was not disappointed. The medium spice level was perfect...flavorful with a kick. Drunken Noodles, Krapow Beef, and the Meatball Appetizer were our favorites. This restaurant was an hour drive for us and did not disappoint. It was worth the trip, and we will be back. The only two criticisms would be that their front door is darkened, and from outside, does not look like an actual entrance. And the noise level was a little high, so our server had to repeat herself a few times, but she didn't seem to mind and checked on us regularly to make sure we were enjoying ourselves“

“Only one word can accurately describe this dining experience: WOW! OK, maybe a few other words: incredible, outstanding, fantastic, delicious, amazing, and unique! This was truly an experience! It all started with the wonderful service from Nate, the Maitre D. He was so kind, personable and professional! Then came Valentin, our server, who was so friendly, knowledgable, and again, professional! The food was insane! A feast for the eyes and the senses! I loved that the restaurant was quiet, even though it was busy. This is a restaurant that knows what they're doing...and they're doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! I cannot wait to go back, and I'm telling everyone I know about our superb experience! Thank you for a great night!!“

“The food was delicious and the experience was creative and fun. Our server was Chris. He was a great server. We were overwhelmed with the menu at first and he talked us through the entire experience. The place was clean and the vibe was great. It did appear to be a local hot spot in opinion of an outsider from GA.“

“Had my food delivered. Sophie helped me. I had to call after I placed my delivery order because there was not an option for extra pickles or ketchup for my fries. But I love Stanton‘s the Fong family has done so much for the neighborhood. I’m grateful that they’re there. Really juicy flavorful burgers. One of the good places to eat in First Ward.“

“Wow! My family and I LOVE to find those old school greasy spoons but this one took the cake. From the outside it’s not much to look at but that’s okay because what waits inside is a diner full of regulars that know where the best breakfast in town is. Yes you go through a seedy neighborhood with questionable businesses in the area but man, it’s worth the adventure. The parking is a free for all so just make sure you can get out. Everyone seems really conscientious about it. We went in and were immediately seated even though they looked packed! We were a party of six. Our server (Elizabeth) greeted us immediately and brought out coffees and waters while we looked through our menus. When we were ready to order she gave us suggestions to make the player even better and boy were we happy we listened! Order the biscuit. Grilled. Don’t question it. Just do it. You won’t regret that order. She brought them out hot and buttered while we waited for our meals. Sooooo delicious!!
I ordered the omelette with every meat and hash browns. Perfection. Hash browns were crispy and well seasoned. Omelette was huge and packed with goodness. My so ordered the monte Cristo french bread Sammie, while the hubby ordered the side of chicken fried chicken with gravy on the side. One of my sons ordered a waffle with sausage patty AND french toast while his girlfriend ordered pancakes bigger than her face! All of the plates did NOT disappoint.
Hungry and in Houston? Don’t forget to check this place out. It’s definitely a restaurant we will be visiting again when back in the area. FIVE STARS!!! ⭐ ask for Elizabeth!“

“Very Authentic Sushi and Yakitori experience in the heart of Houston. Perfect for couples or solo trips. Sake and excellent wines by the glass are served 10 feet away at Soho .

Ive been for both Dinner and Lunch in 24 hours and still can't get enough.“

We were showered with great service and happy birthday messages from the manager, Drew (what an excited party guy!) and waitstaff. We will be back next year. My cousin works for Brinker & says a new menu is coming in November! Can't wait to see it! I also let him know about the great service. Great job Maggiano's!“

“Our experience at Ninfas is always stellar. We love their fajitas, chips and dip and margaritas. Our server last time we were there, Ernesto Islas, was awesome and anticipated our every need. Thanks Ninfa’s for being our go-to Mexican food spot!“

“Absolutely the best tacos south of Houston. Crossroads brisket all the way 🤤✨“

“Coincidentally, I ran into someone wearing a Sinfull Bakery shirt. I asked about the vegan reference. I did not realize I was talking to THE Chef Dylan of the bakery. I decided to take a Saturday drive and check it out. Wonderful surprises were waiting for me! Had the Monkey Bread Muffin and purchased the cheesecake with apple topping for later. I will definitely return. Check it out.“
