30 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gainesville

“Great patio staff experience! As luck would have it, our 10/4 visit was a first for our waitress. She made a fabulous impression on us with charm and grace. Uncle Julio's needs to clone this one as she made this a wonderful experience.

As has always been the case, the food and drinks were excellent and what a fantastic night to be on the patio!“

“We can’t thank you enough at Ourisman Kia Fairfax for catering our Holiday party !! Everyone loved it especially the brisket and ribs !!“

“Absolutly amazing food and service. I had the chicken piccata with shrimp. It was to die for. The shrimp was perfectly soft, i swear it must have been breast fed or something. We had a server named mason. He was hilarious and super charismatic. He made the whole experience a lot better. He made me a mocktail from scratch. It was a strawberry blueberry drink with lemon juice and rosemarry and mint. It had a beautiful frozen lemon rose ice cub. I also had the mascarprone for desert it was perfectly balanced of sweet and chocolatly. The place was absolutly stunning and such pretty set up. Even my youngest cousin (4 year old) had lots of fun here and got to have great food too. Literally everything i had was super delious.

Vegetarian options: My grandmother had the vegtable platter

Kid-friendliness: There is good kid options as well and our server was really nice and iteractive with the kid. He was rea“

“We waited 15 years passing by this pizzeria - tried it tonight - and WOW!!!!! This pizza was phenomenal!!! Everything from the cheese, to the crust…. We will be recurring customers! Best pizza hands down!! Don’t miss out on 15 years like we did!“

“This place never disappoints—easily our favorite Korean BBQ spot in town. The food is consistently top-notch, with perfectly marinated meats and sides that hit every flavor note. The steak? Absolutely phenomenal—tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection.

What truly sets this place apart is the service. Evan, our server, is a standout every single time. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making the experience memorable. He’s a big reason we keep coming back again and again.

Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Korean BBQ with exceptional service!“

“Sarah is excellent bartender and server. We always enjoying seeing her for brunch on Sundays.“

“We tried this place for the first time and it quickly earned a spot on our favorites list. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. Our waitress, Farrah, was fantastic--she was warm, attentive, and had just the right mix of professionalism and friendliness that really stood out.

The food came out surprisingly fast, which was impressive given how fresh and hot everything was. We started with the cheesy bacon fries and paired them with the BBQ ranch (that's what I call it), and it was an absolute game-changer--rich, flavorful, and something we'll definitely be ordering again. Every bite tasted like it was made to order, not rushed or thrown together.

The atmosphere was just as enjoyable as the food. The restaurant had plenty of seating, so it never felt cramped, and everything was spotless and well-kept. What stood out most was the sense of community--many of the staff seemed to know the customers by name, creating a warm, welcoming vibe that made the place feel more like a neighborhood gathering spot than just another restaurant.

Between the top-notch service, delicious food, and how quickly everything was served, this place checks all the boxes. We'll absolutely be back to try more of the entrees on the menu.“

“Husband and I eat breakfast on Sundays at Gainesville Diner. Such a friendly atmosphere, our food is always delicious and hot. Amy is always our waitress--she is absolutely amazing, always friendly, and makes us feel as though we are her very dear friends. She brings us our coffee first thing without us even having to ask for it. The food is great, but Amy is what makes Gainesville Diner so very special.“

“Margaritas always nails it! Customer Service is always very very friendly. For take out they get you in and out quickly. And best of all my picky husband really liked their chicken cheesesteaks. As a Philly native he is very particular and Margaritas as I said nailed it! #newregulars“

“1st time here. Delicious crab cakes and crab and hush puppies. Nice atmosphere and very good wait staff. we are from Ohio and we're visiting and stumbled across this place by accident and so glad we did. we will be back when we go back to the area.“

“Good restaurant with a variety of American foods. Burgers are excellent. Bar has a lot of TVs for sports. Seems to have a regular following.
Since leaving this review I have received reheated fries rather than fresh fries so I revised my review appropriately“

“My boyfriend and I recently stopped at Nando’s for lunch. The food was amazing, staff and service were excellent, and we will definitely be back. Steve the manager was also great. 10/10“

“Did NOT disappoint! Enjoyed a tasty meal at La Finca this weekend. Staff was friendly and attentive. Most important, the food was delish. Salsa was smooth--just a hint of heat and not too much cilantro. Beef and chicken flautas offered a great crunch and tender meat filling. Chile relleno, filled with melty cheesy goodness, was a hit! The skinny margarita was as you'd expect--good, but not quite the punch of a regular margarita. The mango-habanero shrimp was a beautiful presentation and the sauce packed a great, sweet kick--minus a star for shrimp being really over cooked (easy fix for the kitchen, though). Sounds like the new management team is off to a promising start and we can't wait to visit again!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Pizza Boli's location in Lancaster, PA, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by their friendly staff, who went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. The customer service was top-notch!

The menu features an incredible variety of delicious options, and I was thrilled to see that the Gainesville location offers the same amazing menu. The quality of the food is outstanding — every bite of my pizza was bursting with flavor, and you can tell they use the freshest ingredients. Plus, they have a fantastic selection of beverages to complement your meal.

Whether you're in Lancaster or Gainesville, Pizza Boli's delivers the same incredible experience. I highly recommend both locations for anyone looking for great pizza and superb service. I can't wait to come back for more! 🍕✨“

“🤣🤣🤣 It’s the perfect place to go and hang out especially if the nail salon is not open! I highly recommend the Cobb salad and Cleveland Brownie Sunday. I’ll hit the gym tomorrow!“

“We love Passion Fin and highly recommend the restaurant.“

“First time here while traveling for work and it was 💯 amazing!!! Very friendly staff and AMAZING Ribeyes! Definitely will be back and definitely recommend trying it out!! 💪🏼🔥“

“1st time, wont be last. Absolutely delicious.
Had original chicken sandwich and mix of originial and honey (not the hot one) wings.
Wasn't expecting the wings to be the size they were. Very large, crispy, & juicy.“

“I have been coming here since we moved to VA back in the early 2000's. For a while I stopped eating here due to covid and health issues, but I'm so glad I started again! They have the best lo mein in the area and their egg rolls are always crispy. They are the reason I fell in love with chicken corn soup and General Tso's. I absolutely love this place and hope they stay open for another 20+ years!“

“Everything was wonderful not what I expected 👌🏾“

“It was very loud, but the great food and service made it tolerable. Plenty of TVs to watch football which was nice. Cole was our waiter, and he did a great job! My wife and I had the ribeye. The steaks were delicious and cooked medium rare the way we like it! The avocado egg rolls were a tasty starter.“

“So good. We ordered a California turkey club and it was so good 10/10. The server went out of his way to get us tea and the manager brought us every flavor of tea imaginable. An indecisive person’s nightmare fr. JP the manager needs to be promoted to CEO. Loved that guy. When JP gets promoted, they can fill the manager position with our server guy George Mason (minus the George).“

“the food is very yummy and it helps me to be healthy and i get to smile when i am in the restrauant“

“Consistently great tasting pizza. Unfortunately, I moved from Gainesville to Bristow, so a bit further away. But I still make the drive to get Ledos when I can. They really don't cut any corners, with great amounts of toppings and cheese.“

“Love the many options here!
Love the veggie smash and ground chicken options! Please keep! 🙂
I also appreciate the real romaine lettuce and fresh tomatoes!
Not super salty and always fresh!
Friendly & professional service at the Gainesville, VA location.“
