50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Harrisonburg

“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!“

“I find the food to be absolutely delicious and the service takes it over the top. When you compare to other local restaurants the prices are really very reasonable.“

“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.“

“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 atmosphere the bartender was super friendly!“

“The food and staff are amazing!“

“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 😍“

“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!“

“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).“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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🫶🏻“

“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. ??“

“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.“

“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“

“Stopped through while traveling from Georgia and this place did not disappoint. I had the Pollo a la Plancha — that adobo chicken was juicy and full of flavor, and the sides were perfect. My girl had the Buenos Días burger and said it was one of the best burgers she’s ever had. The vibe was super relaxed, great for kicking back, and the staff was friendly and on point. Definitely glad we found this spot and it was kid friendly — we’ll be back next time we’re up this way.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“This was the first time both me and my wife experienced curry and Thai food. We were glad that we were able to pick from different spice levels since neither of like very spicey food. The service was great and the restaurant was relatively busy for lunch on a weekday.“

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

“Awesome pizza and a great place to grab a slice after class every Thursday night.“

“Perfect Comfort food for a drizzly day like today! So glad you were open!!!!“

“This place was AWESOME! Best sweet tea I’ve ever had! Their fries are AMAZING! Our family got chicken tenders, brisket, a steak, wings and the fish and every single thing was just incredible. No complaints at ALL! Our waitress Allison was attentive and sweet and they were packed! Definitely a 10/10! Definitely recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“The pizza is delicious and inexpensive!“

“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.“

“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!“

“wonderful, absolutely WONDERFUL food! The service?! also outstanding!! love, love, LOVE IT!“

“They call it Beyond because it's Beyond Awesome. Sitting on the Patio is an amazing vibe and you may just see some fish and ducks while you're out there. They have delicious sushi and easily the best wontons I've ever had. Their miso soup is warm and comforting. Can't recommend enough!“

“Best Indian food around! Flavors are great, service is outstanding and atmosphere is elegant.“

“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“

“I had never been inside Ruby's until tonight and the atmosphere was fantastic! I wasn't having the best day and I was surrounded by great energy and great bar staff given the chaos of the Tuesday night. Got a few play in's on some arcade cabinets and quick beer. And now I'm sold on my new hang out spot. If you are a gamer wanting to have some arcade time and great staff interactions, come here!“

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

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

“This was our second time visiting this location. Our chef was amazing and super patient with my son. All the food was delicious!! Thank you!!“

“Stopped by for the first time when coming to town from Staunton. Service was excellent and the food was fantastic. I got the Steak and cheese deluxe and the wife got an Italian Sausage Parmigiana. Both sandwiches were delicious and the staff treated us great. If you’re trying to decide on what Italian place in Harrisonburg to eat at, this is the one! We will be back next time we come to the area!“

“Food was great! We were looking for something that wasn’t typical fast food on our trip and decided to give it a try! Pulled pork and brisket were very good! Even bought a jar of bbq sauce to take home! 🐷 🐖“

“All You can Eat! For a good deal!“
