18 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Santaquin

“Came to Santaqueen Drive-In as a normal, innocent customer. Left changed forever.

First off, Kylah was on the grill and I could tell. Every burger came off that grill like it had a college degree and a future. Perfectly cooked, dripping in flavor, and clearly made by someone who takes their grill duties personally. I don’t know what seasoning she used, but I’m convinced it’s classified.

Over at the fryer was Rachel, and let me just say—those fries were in good hands. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dangerously addictive. I swear she looked at the fries once and they just knew to come out perfect. If loving fries this much is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Then there were the waitresses, Brynlee and Anaya, who ran that place like a well-organized circus. Orders taken with confidence, food delivered at lightning speed, and jokes thrown in for free. I asked one question and got my food, a smile, and a personality upgrade.

The food? Unreal. The service? Elite. The vibes? Somewhere between “small-town classic” and “five-star chaos.” I came hungry and left questioning why this isn’t a Michelin-star establishment.

10/10. Would trust this entire crew with my last meal. Santaqueen Drive-In isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a lifestyle.“

“It's delicious and sits on a beautiful campus“

“the Italian place is a great place for an amazing sandwich. reasonably priced and always delicious. I recommend the zues“

“Really good pizza, definitely recommend. The building looks fairly dated, and the pricing is a bit high compared to Dominos and Costco pizza. They used to serve bone in Buffalo wings and they were so good with the pizza, but then they stopped serving bone in wings. Please bring back the bone in Buffalo wings!“

“love this place for local Indian cuisine“

“El Tapatio is a dependable Mexican restaurant that I’ve visited several times. The portions are generous, and the menu has plenty of options to choose from. Everything I’ve ordered has been flavorful and consistent. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Service has always been friendly and attentive. It’s a good place to go when you want a reliable sit-down meal without overthinking it.“

“The food was so good and some the best service ever!“

“Tostada de Cameron was very delicious. Service was friendly and very respectful.“

“1st time going today and for a takeout order, they had good communication and great food that exceeded my expectations! the special dumplings were a perfect sweet spicy flavor, their orange chicken was authentic and sweet, and their fried dumpling were amazing for the wife. Will have to go again!“

“Delicious food. Love the scone too!“

“Came here once 3 months ago, at that time I told the manager min that your fried chicken like sweet and sour chicken orange chicken became very sweet, which was not good, this time I passed by payson again and sat down again, I missed the lunch buffet time, my wife and I ordered sweet and sour chicken and kung pao beef, tasted perfect 😍, they listened to the advice and reduced the sweetness, and the new floor is also a highlight, 100% recommended“

“Tucked in the historic downtown Payson this Quant location has yummy food, I enjoy the steak fajitas and making a wish in their indoor fountain. 😋
Expert tip - allow an extra hour or two to visit the awesome stores on Utah Avenue.“

“First time eating here after a late ballgame. They were about to close, but were super friendly, and the food was amazing. Hands down the best French fries I've ever had, and the spicy chicken sandwich was better than chick-fillet. If I'm ever down that way again, I would stop by.“

“Look no further. We are Arizona transplants to Utah, and we have been looking for Mexican food of the kind and quality that we were spoiled with when we lived in AZ. After nearly a decade in UT, we have found it in Erazo Mexican Restaurant. The food is so good, the menu is well rounded, and I've never had a better Horchata in my life. The owner is welcoming and kind. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned just days later with our kids. So excited to make this place a regular in our rotation.“

“I have been in Utah for 2 years. It has been a struggle to find good Mexican food. We were around the area and I had to try their breakfast burrito. As soon as I got the food and seen the red salsa I knew the food was going to be good. You know if the salsa is good most likely their food is too! Me and my husband shared the burrito and we were IMPRESSED! It reminded me of home (San Diego). So then we ordered a carne asada burrito and we devoured it! We’ll definitely be coming back here even though it’s drive since we reside in Lehi. But it’s worth it because we have tried a few Mexican spots and they were just not it, good thing we didn’t give up and hope one day we could find a good spot. **I knew from the get go this place was going to be fire since it’s old school and if you’re from San Diego you know what I’m talking about ;)“

“Better than your typical sit down Mexican restaurant! You can tell the salsa is homemade as well as most of the ingredients in their food. Portions are HUGE too! Honestly I don’t get the people leaving bad reviews, this place is a much better experience than any other Mexican restaurant in Utah!!“

“Great old taco time! For the age of the building it was super clean and the employees were very polite. Food was good, hot and fresh. Only complaint about taco time is it seems a bit steep in price compared to what you get. It was tasty and fresh. Didn’t give me diarrhea like other taco places do, that is a plus!“

“I recently had my first purchase via drive through at Chuys. I had heard that it was a good spot for food and wanted to give it a shot. We ordered some asada fries and burritos. Overall service was pleasant and they made the order fast. I asked for very well done meat and they definitely listened which I loved because places usually dont do it. I do feel that the food was overpriced for what I got comparatively to other local area taco shops. The food itself was good/ almost basic but the salsa was not it. Its was very watered down which I didn’t like. I“
