50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Dayton

“Dayton Catering Co. catered our rehearsal dinner at The Granary at Valley Pike Farm Market, and their food was truly a highlight of our wedding weekend. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared, and the entire experience was stress-free thanks to their team. The event catering coordinator was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure the menu was just how we wanted it. From the initial tasting to coordinating logistics beforehand, and setting up and breaking down on the day of, they handled it all seamlessly. It also helped that they were already familiar with our venue, which made everything go even more smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Dayton Catering Co. for any event in the Shenandoah Valley!“

“This is our breakfast spot on Saturdays!! we were very lucky to discover Thomas house after a shen valley deal. Staff are very attentive, cooks banging out amazing food, and the atmosphere feels like home. they even do a tree for kids in need during Christmas!! 10 outta 10!“

“I’m a traveling farrier so I eat out A LOT. I stumbled upon this little diner and was so pleasantly surprised. The food was AMAZING and bonus points for being extra fast service! Definitely recommend and will be back when I’m in the area!“

“Father’s Day lunch at Brothers Italian Restaurant and Pizza , Harrisonburg VA was absolutely DELICIOUS! Best cheesesteak I’ve had in a while. Yummy garlic knots & fried mushrooms. All the pasta dishes came out hot and flavorful. The tiramisu and zeppole desserts were freshly made & super good. Our waiter William was very attentive and nice. We spoke to the owner and he was very welcoming too. We will definitely come back again.“

“The food and staff are amazing!“

“The best burgers I've ever had! Our family loved it so much that went twice during our vacation! Thanks for not just a great atmosphere, but great service, and great food!“

“Great mid-trip lunch on the way to drop our son off at college! The grilled cheese and soup was fab and the lovely people were even better 😍“

“I've been addicted to Mashita since the first year it opened. Now, any time I drive through Virginia on 81, I make a goal of stopping there.“

“Good food, good service. Clean and neat! Highly recommend“

“Amazing value and amazing quality food, 5 tacos for 11 bucks in this economy is damn good. They only take cash so prepare for that, the atmosphere is very nice next to the woods and neighborhoods, very quiet and calm. Definitely a gold spot in Harrisonburg.“

“Found this place quite by accident tonight absolutely unequivocally one of the best meals I have ever had! Beef ribs Ragu was absolutely amazing!!“

“Did a road trip to Harrisonburg. Had lunch at Billy Jacks!! It was fantastic!!!“

“Burger are indeed the way to go. And the vaquero is great (it isn’t as crazy large as it sounds like it would be, so delicious but the right size). The pork sandwiches are ok, I’ve tried Cuban’s all over, never blown away, so these are good , but the burgers are way better. The Chop salad was a full meal, and tasty as well. Service was terrific and friendly. Not a big place, but enough seating for a group of friends.“

“We’ve been coming here religiously for months, I LOVE the R1. Very flavorful every single time. Today was my daughter’s birthday and the owner made her favorite smoothie to surprise her🫶🏻“

“I have eaten here for many years. Always really good sushi, fresh and delicious. Love to try their seasonal/special rolls which they write on the chalkboard wall, along with my usual Hwe dup bap. I tried the Tuna Tartare because I love white Tuna. It's described as having Mango but mine came with peaches instead. I think mango would have been better but I still ate every little bit of it! Always very friendly service- am greeted whenever we enter. My go-to place if I'm wanting sushi, which is often.“

“This place is incredible. The atmosphere is slightly speak-easy-esque. The staff is knowledgeable, engaging, and truly seems to care about the customers’ experience. We came here after getting married earlier today and passing through Harrisonburg on our way to our destination. We needed dinner and it was THE RIGHT PICK. Michael, our server, and Steph, a manager or a GM equivalent, were seriously the BOMB. Soo accommodating and kind, and cared about our evening. The spicy Marg … insanely satisfying. CRAZY kick of flavor without the straight burn of something that’s spicy just to BE the spiciest. The tincture that makes it spicy is made in house. Amazing! And the spicy burger … also incredible. Truly a MEAL. Thank you for making our night the best! -Stephen and Katie“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Harrisonburg. I grew up eating hummus and falafel, and the hummus here is maybe the only one I’ve ever liked as much as or better than my mom’s. The family who run the restaurant are so nice, and the food is incredible. My favorite is the chicken shawarma salad with cilantro lime dressing and a side of hummus. Yummmmmmm. Also they just recently renovated and redecorated the dining room and I think it feels much lighter and more spacious.“

“We went here after reading the reviews and the reviews don’t lie. Don’t get fooled by the decor or lack of it, but food is just amazing and priced very reasonably. The owner is also your server. It was 100 outside and crowded when we went and he still managed to get all our orders in. He also gave us Thai chili flakes to take home.

The yellow curry and special fried rice was lick worthy. We also loved mango with sticky rice (topped with fried mung beans) so much that we ended up having 3 (yes 3).“

“Amazing little food truck that serves the best Bulgogi! I come to Harrisonburg once a year for meetings and always stop by Kangam Style on my way out of town. Thank you for cooking the best bowls!! The portions are good, the meat is tender, and the egg is perfectly cooked. ??“

“Maybe the largest craft beer operation in town (my subjective feeling). All very nice and professional, with a good selection of beers and food. Nothing to complain about, just felt a little less cozy and familiar than the other craft beer taprooms, but that may have been a coincidental impression. I ended up visiting three times, so it must still have been quite alright ;)

Great to sit outside on their porch when it's a warm day.“

“My granddaughter and I were having grandma day in Harrisonburg. We ordered burgers fries. Brussel Sprouts Fried Pickles and Fried Tomatoes. The Brussel sprouts live up to their hype. A bit of crunch and most delicious. The tomatoes were done perfect. crispy on the outside- juicy on the inside as were the pickles. My granddaughter received the Wrong order yet the manager made it right. He offered a free dessert on the house and my granddaughter recieved the right burger and fresh made French fries. The service, ambience and food here was amazing!“

“Best wedding cake and cupcakes ever! The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing! Many different flavors to choose from. You can rent the display pieces too which was great! Highly recommend!“

“Another great brewery/taproom in Harrisonburg. Restless Moons was recommended to me by a bartender at The Friendly Fermenter, and that was absolutely spot on. Nice selection of beers; if you stand at the bar, you also get a great view of their brewing kettles.
Friendly staff, nice beer garden out back. No pub food sold, but a patron told me that it might be possible to bring one's own snacks (have not confirmed this with staff though). Monday night is Movie Night IIRC. Would definitely return if I had the chance.“

“We had dinner here on Mon. 9/12/22 5pm. This restaurant was recommended by our hotel, Double Tree by Hilton. Their courtesy car driver was familiar with the location near James Madison U. and brought us there in 10 min. We also checked out their website ahead. Well Monday Pasta Special was just what we were looking for after a day of exploring. For $10.95 you can choose from 6 pastas, 6 sauces, & your choice of two toppings from 25+ choices of meat, olives, peppers, cheese, etc (think pizza toppings). And if that's not enough incentive also on Mondays it's 1/2 off bottles of vino. What's not to like? Vito's is not a chain. This is authentic cooked to order Italian fare. There are specials on every day. They also have a market & deli next door. We sat at the bar and ordered a beer ($6) & a wine ($7) while make our dinner choices. My bride had angel hair pasta w/ pesto, chicken & fresh mozzarella. The portion was full dinner size & she took more than half back to our room. I had bucatini w/ spicy marinara, sweet Italian sausage, & kalamata olives. Again a generous portion. Very tasty marinara & al dente pasta. Full disclosure: I ate in all. LOL. It was a great first impression at Vito's. Our service was excellent. Bartender T was always checking on us even while cashing out all the take away orders. Very busy place on this Monday. It seems that they have built a brand and customer loyalty because of the food & the service. Specials everyday for lunch & dinner. Can place orders online and JMU students can use their JAC meal cards there also. Hours: WED-MON 11am-10pm, closed TUE. Happy Hour 3-6pm. A good recommendation for a great place to dine while travelling. Hope to see you the next time we're in VA. Thank you. Ciao. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY“

“1st time visitor…food was fresh and delicious! Service great too! Highly recommend you give them a shot…& you can take your favorite meals home as they offer pre-packaged options too!“

“Excellent service, spacious interior, pleasant atmosphere. The portions are large enough to fill you up. I recommend Red Curry. Pad Thai is better with shrimps. It's worth stopping by on a road trip or stopping in for a weekend dinner.“

“Great and very tasty food and friendly staff Comida sabrosa y muy amigables los trabajadores. 💯“

“Love their wines. Love the music bingo and enjoy playing it with my grandsons. Love the weekend music. It's all great. I say if you hear otherwise, find out for yourself, don't just take a review as truth, especially if more love it than don't.“

No complaints at ALL! Our waitress Allison was attentive and sweet and they were packed! Definitely a 10/10! Definitely recommend!“

“Tonight was our first time eating at Magnolia's and we will definitely be going back! My kids and I had a blast. Quick seating, food was delicious, drinks were on point. & our waiter was AMAZING! Very cozy atmosphere.“

“This place is a solid 10 out of 10! Their sushi is absolutely amazing. They start you off with a delicious salad with ranch, which is a nice touch. Their hibachi bowls are generous, with plenty of rice and steak, and they also offer chicken and a variety of beef options. I highly recommend checking it o“

“we here at where get that best corn dog love the atmosphere and bands that perform here“

“We went there this evening, dined in and were very satisfied! Friendly staff and we were greeted by several. We went with Korean dishes (it's what I'm used to) and it was spot on! I wish we lived closer to be able to enjoy them more. We will be back!“

“The service was excellent and the food was very good traditional Mexican. I highly recorded. We will be back. Thank you, Ryk“

“Mr. J's on Virginia Ave greets you with warm hospitality and delicious smells of fresh bagels. Once you have crossed the threshold, you are welcomed into the Mr. J's family - served with love and leaving with your favorite breakfast sandwich and a cup of coffee.“

“One of my favorite places!! If you don't like it here, you suck, just saying.“

“My boyfriend and I were in town to celebrate 4th of July and we stumbled upon this gem. I'm vegetarian and loved that they have so many unique plant-based dishes. We loved the risotto, goat cheese balls and bread we ordered as appetizers. My sweet potato, tofu and artichoke bowl was yummy too even though the tofu could've used more flavor and tasted a bit bland. The server was wonderful and the entire venue is so unique and cozy.“

“Cracker Barrel got boycotted badly. They owned up to it, they apologized about it, they fixed it, and they even cracked a funny joke about it. Hey I respect that and I respect the sportsmanship when your whole business falls straight the tubes. Don't worry Cracker Barrel my boycott is over. I'll still give you my business! But I respect it if other people don't want to go. Apologize accepted Cracker Barrel“

“Emailed Trevor and asked about catering for my boyfriends birthday party. He was so accommodating and helpful from start to finish. The pulled pork was amazing!! We ordered the peach habanero sauce along with the Kansas City BBQ sauce. Both were a huge hit with our friends and family. I also ordered a tray of Macaroni and Cheese and Baked Beans along with a tray of Cole Slaw!! I had never tried any of their food but found them through a Google search I was super impressed with taste of the food and will definitely do catering with them again!!“

“The pizza is delicious and inexpensive!“

“No issues at all. Clean, quiet, nice pool and breakfast. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. There is no elevator to the second level, but fortunately there were first floor rooms available. Several things to mention, the breakfast offers waffles, fruit, yogurt, real scrambled eggs, ham, sausage and more. The entire property is clean and updated, TVs are big, and the beds are Heavenly comfortable- we will definitely return.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails from the bar are perfection. Try the Fried Green Tomato appetizer! Compliments to the Chef!“

“So if you ever watch the movie The founder, when Roy Kroc first gets a burger served from McDonald's it's like hhis food is handed back to him with his change instantly and that's what it's like when you're there at tacos Gavilan the food is excellent fast efficient I can't believe how fast the food is given in the Drive-Thru unbelievable if they ever go public I'm buying stock“

“Small place but the cheesesteak was absolutely AMAZING! Super friendly staff and reasonable prices.“

“Loved the food and specially loved the staff ! Highly recommended!“
