50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Sunset Valley

“found a new place for lunch!! food was awesome. I am so glad they have GF options..“

“I haven’t physically been there yet so can’t review atmosphere but this place is the truth. I grew up in hawai’i so I am very picky. Poke is usually more on the simplistic side but I do appreciate dedicated poke restaurants that offer a variety of options as far as protein and toppings. I’ve tried several poke restaurants around the austin area and decided to try Poke Austin for the first time yesterday (ordered via grubhub) and after just one bite, I literally said “mmmm” it was so flavorful and savory!! I enjoyed everything. I ordered a poke bake with teriyaki chicken and spam. It came standard with edamame, fish roe, corn and some kind of pickled veggie as toppings. The harmony of that poke bowl was amazing and nearly perfect. I’m building my own bowl now today and I can’t wait. I haven’t felt compelled to write a review for other poke spots I’ve tried but needed to write one for this place. Also, the kimchi they have is BOMBBB and that’s hard to come by in a restaurant setting around atx unless you’re at an authentic korean spot. Will be eating this regularly as long as the product is consistent!

I just wish there were more aloha drink flavors on the menu. I would also appreciate spam musubi as a side!! :D“

“LongHorn Steakhouse really hit it out of the park. Everything we had was absolutely delicious—from the perfectly cooked steak to the flavorful sides and well-made drinks. The service was top notch—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But the real showstopper? The chocolate cake and ice cream. Over the top in the best way—rich, indulgent, and the perfect ending to a great meal. Honestly, this place puts some of the high-end fine dining spots to shame. At LongHorn, you leave full, happy, and without an empty wallet. Highly recommend!“

“People were nice and food good“

“Our sandwiches were juicy, tender and plenty. Love the remodel and UT🤘🤘 vibe.“

“Wait a little bit on a Saturday to be seated but it was worth the wait!! Amazing vegan options! BEST cornbread ever! You have to get it with the special house pesto and vegan butter! We got vegan queso, two sandwiches and the cornbread and it was more than enough. Such sweet staff!“

“Best BBQ I've ever had! Night and day difference from the other BBQ places in Austin. 5/5!“

“I reserved online for my daughter’s birthday and got into town an hour earlier and they still were able to accommodate us. At the table with the menus was a birthday card with a really nice and meaningful note on the inside. Staff, drinks, and food were amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“My wife and I had the best experience here for my birthday lunch, I'm so glad we chose this restaurant to eat at while in town for the Austin FC match! I can't say enough about the staff and the owner Joel who went out of his way to be extremely kind to us. Not to mention the food and drinks were so good. We'll definitely be back!“

“Such an INCREDIBLE space. The food was so delicious and the portions were large. I was a little worried it wouldn’t be seasoned b/ it’s so wholistic but dang was I wrong ! It was SO flavorful and tasty. Wouldn’t change a thing ! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming . Love the whole vibe and all the accompanying shops. Will definitely be back !“

“We are normal customers and love getting our Saturday ribs . Today we went For their steak night and it was beyond amazing. My husband and I shared a beautiful 2.4 lbs ribeye cooked to absolute perfection! We paired it with the best onion rings and miso glazed carrots . One of the owners also got us a burger , when I say it was the best one I have ever had it is not an exaggeration. It was the most juicy & tender burger ever . To end our night we got the cheddar cheesecake with apple butter which was a perfect combo of a savory sweet treat. We will definitely be back again and we highly recommend trying it out .“

“Beautiful restaurant. The shrimp and grits were delicious very flavorful. The grits portion was tiny and cold-literally, just enough to taste after a significant wait. Service in general was a little slow. They have a decent kids menu. I would recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a place to meet and do more talking than eating.“

“Only next level Japanese dining enthusiasts would be able to immediately recognize that they have chosen well. If you are lucky enough to discover the Happy Hour menu then you’ve hit the jackpot. Do yourself a favor and go because ain’t nobody have dry aged fish! What?!? Yes this separates Lucky Robot from the rest of the Japanese places in Austin. Put it on the bucket list folks!“

“Excellent brisket and that chimichuri sausage was delicious. Big shout out to Ryan our fellow North Carolinian, for such gracious hospitality. Wish we were around for the pimento cheese sausage. Thanks for making our trip to Austin worth it!“

“Great place to hang with friends! Noisy, but that’s part of the atmosphere. Good number of screens around to keep up with games.

Parking: Great staff!

Kid-friendliness: Not much for kids to do other than a couple of games in the back.“

“Amazing food! Every dish we tried was DE-LICIUOS! Wait staff and hosts are lovely people. Atmosphere and vibe is warm and inviting here. My only suggestion for this restaurant is that they turn the volume down on the music. It really is WAY TOO loud. Other than that, visit often so that you can try the entire menu!“

“My friends and I had girls night here on a Saturday and it’s definitely an elevated experience! The vibe has a DJ kinda reminding me of Dayclub in Mykonos? The seafood is great and the drinks experience was even better, i definitely recommend“

“Loved the experience and the food was so amazing ! 😻 The dining area was beautiful and the wait staff was so awesome! I highly recommend this restaurant 💕“

“A Local Classic That Always Delivers

Sandy’s is a true staple in the city—simple, nostalgic, and always hits the spot. I usually go for a cheeseburger, fries, and a cone, and it never disappoints. Great food, quick service, and that consistency keeps me coming back“

“We visited "STELLA SAN JAC" during our Austin trip... and we had a great time. We tried several of the best and most inspiring cocktails we've ever tasted. Manager Edwin put us at ease with the best comfortable service, and every cocktail he recommended we were very impressed with. I will definitely recommend my friends to visit this place, I want to go back and try the cocktail again on my next business trip.“

“As always, for many years we’ve dined at Jeffrey’s and we are very pleased with the service and of course our food. Can’t say enough!“

“This place has the best nachos I've ever had anywhere in the world. I would come here every week just for those if I lived here. The chicken is also super delicious and I have no complaints about any of their sides. But those nachos are next level, especially with extra carne asada... ?.“

“No trip to Austin is complete without a visit to Torchy’s! The tacos are filling and consistently tasty (my fave is the Democrat!) The staff is also super friendly at the SoCo location. Shoutout to Michelle for giving us New Jersey folks a warm welcome in Austin!“

“I would like to respectfully start with; I’ve been to Uchi multiple times over the years and will never forget my first experience (which will always be the best in my mind.) That being said — tonight might have been the closest to first I’ve ever had. Chance, our server was attentive, knowledgeable, easy going, brought some of the best plates when we asked “bring us what you like/anything you think we missed” literally 12/10 would recommend. Ask for Chance, he knows his shiiiiiiii* and made our night absolutely amazing and something we will never forget!“

“This place is another delishhh spot�“

“Hands down best chicken biscuit sandwiches I've ever had in my life.“

“This place was excellent! I had a boozy salted caramel Iced coffee that was amazing.The cinnamon roll french toast was delicious with fresh fruit and an ooey gooey drizzle. The Floridian omelette was rich and full of flavor. The grits were so creamy, I requested some cheese on top but it honestly didn't need any. the Bacqueza Omelette was savory and smokey with just enough spice and creaminess from the cream cheese. Our server Isaiah was polite and provided us great service. The only issue we had was how rude and uninterested the hostess was.“

“Wonderful service, great atmosphere and Fabulous Food!!“

“Great place to eat. Prime rib was great and the whipped potatoes were to die for. Mocktail was good, too! Jamie was very attentive and maintained a professional presence while being personable and assured I was comfortable and taken care of throughout the meal.“

“Fun times I was there for the 2024 Cheftochef conference!“

“Last night my family & I went to Pinthouse Pizza probably for the 7th time since moving here last year, I finally decided to write a review. The pizza here is top tier, so is the beer selection. Staff are friendly, the establishment is nice, picnic tables inside with lots of seating but it gets packed. There are a few tables outside as well. If it’s a weekend plan ahead, wait times for pizza can easily be over an hour when they’re busy. Otherwise, this place is great; it’s a go-to for us. Highly recommend it.“

“Visited Austin for a few days and looked up a brunch spot to hit up… the name caught my attention and it did not disappoint! The kimchi hash was phenomenal! And you can never go wrong w a smoked salmon bagel! We will definitely be back when in the area! Staff was attentive, nice and the atmosphere was great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent food and excellent service in a pretty cool building! Definitely would recommend!“

“excellent dining in a great atmosphere an awesome service sampled a bunch of tasting plates from the fish tacos to the bone marrow and the oysters even had a wonderful dessert with their homemade ice cream and bananas did I say that the service was awesome top notch five stars all day definitely a place to visit in Austin“

“Our favortie restuarant in Austin, we love ordering a bunch of appetizers and do that often. WE both eat gluten free so this place rocks.“

“I went in the other day there was 3 amazing people working Hailey created this amazing drink! All 3 were extremely helpful and a joy to see that early in the morning. Even tho there was crazy construction outside it was a very peaceful energy inside! I love this location and I’m glad Hailey was there to make a magical drink for me and my sister!“

“Early dinner on a weeknight with reservations. Service was excellent!!! Our server was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of and interactions with others in the restaurant were very positive. Food was great as well. I had a Wagyu cheeseburger and it was perfectly prepared and very tasty. Wife had chicken and mashed potatoes and she said they were excellent but mashed potatoes were a bit on the salty side. Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend Salty Sow!“
