30 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gainesville

“We wanted to give a shout out to Daniella, on Friday Aug 30, who provided outstanding service. She was professional, communicative, and kind. She ensured our meal was gluten-free (had to send something back, spotted the issue before we could even say anything). Set us up with a free bag of chips and salsa on our way out the door. Did not make us feel nickeled and dimed (as many restaurants are doing these days). The manager was great also. She was personally greeting all the guests. Great team over there! Not to mention the food was great. Daniella is the reason we left 5 stars! Get this gal into management!

Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free taco salad.“

“Amazing every time we go!!! Yum yum yum!“

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

“Such a GREAT place to eat. The staff are so warm and welcoming, makes me feel at home. Love the people and of course the amazing juicy barbecue. You just got yourself a new regular!“

“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“

“Excellent food and service!! Friendly staff reasonably priced. Very nice and clean restaurant. I highly recommend!!!“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“A hybrid fast food and seated serve restaurant. It's on you to get silver, condiments, napkins, etc. No real waiter, but food is delivered to your table. Staff were very pleasant, explaining how things worked. Pretty standard chain box restaurant with some slightly different flavors, but not as different as advertised. Still tasted nice and the medium was spicy as advertised.“

“went here on prom night with the gang. my boy austin was the best waiter i’ve had in a while! he even took some tuff flicks of us in our prom fits. he even helped wingman for a friend who eventually rizzed up 😛 W AUSTIN! oh also the food was great and the pazookie was way too much sugar for me but was still gas (even tho i don’t like chocolate)“

“🔥🐔 Hands down the BEST Korean chicken we’ve had in Virginia — and honestly, the whole East Coast! 🌍🍗

📜 The menu is super diverse, packed with mouthwatering flavors!

We tried:
🍯🔥 Hot Honey (our favorite!)
🧄🌶️ Garlic Spicy
🥢🧄 Soy Garlic

Each one was bursting with flavor and totally amazing! 😍💯

We’re definitely coming back — a lot! 🏃‍♂️🍴💥“

“Everything was wonderful not what I expected 👌🏾“

“Always at the top of my list the place to dine at!!“

“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.“

“This place is beautiful and super clean. The people here are really friendly, which made the experience even better. We tried the Hawaiian pizza and it was absolutely delicious! The whole atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the prices are very reasonable. I'd definitely recommend this Ledo Pizza to my friends and family, and I'm already looking forward to coming back for more!“

“Stopped in recently and had great service from Sofia. She was friendly and courteous and very helpful making food suggestions“

“Richard waited on us this evening, best service I've ever had at an Ihop!

Update: once again, great service! Food was very good.

Restaurant itself is starting to show it's age. They remodeled at the peak of the pandemic, but the chairs and tables are in a sad, sad state.

Also, whomever thought it a good idea to plug in a dehumidifier AND a TV AND a bunch of other things into a single surge protector... you might not want to do that.“
