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.“

“Brother's Italian Restaurant is amazing! The food is always delicious and the owner and staff are so accommodating! We placed a large order for the TA girls basketball team and the owner went above and beyond for us! We are so appreciative and look forward to our next visit there :)“

“Sweet tea is the best food, good also, but please, please, please bring back the Bwilly“

“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“

“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’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’ve been coming to Thai Cafe on and off for over 20 years, since my college days! I now eat a mostly plant-forward diet, and their vegetable and tofu options are flavorful and delicious. I’m not strictly vegetarian or vegan, so I’m comfortable with fish sauce, which some dishes contain. It’s wonderful to still enjoy this college favorite all these years later!“

“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!“

“Stopped in after a day of sightseeing. Place was hopping, every table full, some people waiting. We waited 10 minutes for a table. The waitress greeted us promptly after seating though and mentioned they were short staffed and asked for patience. We were fine with that and she made sure drinks were full and the spring rolls came out in a timely fashion. We ordered sushi and and bibimbop. Food coming out was a lot slow but with what we ordered and how busy it was, it was understandable. Everything was quite good and the menu had a number of options both Japanese and Korean.

Overall, the experience was good, the food was excellent and good prices too. We pass through Harrisonburg often and it is a good place for use to stop for something to eat during our travels. We'll be back, for sure!“

“Good atmosphere the bartender was super friendly!“

“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!“

“The steak tacos are amazing I definitely recommend!!“

“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!“

“The food and staff are amazing!“

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

“Gotta love walking in the door to a Sunday afternoon bluegrass jam!!!
Awesome space with friendly folks inside and nice outdoor area if that’s your preference.
The Godzilla Hazy was really good, but doesn’t everything taste better with a touch of bluegrass?“

“I go here all the time. Not only for the food, but for the great hospitality and customer service. I get treated as if am attending a family reunion, cook out, or a party. The owners are absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best food in Harrisonburg without a doubt. The El jefe is an absolute masterpiece of a burger, let alone there beautiful chop chop (add steak, you won’t regret it), to there appetizers such as the empanadas or tostones. The bar is beautiful and has a massive selection of drinks! It’s not just food, it’s art, passion, & huge amount of dedication!“

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

“Food was fantastic and the atmosphere felt very local and family friendly. This was our first time visiting and first time trying Detroit style pizza, which was very similar to the Sicilian style pizza I grew up with (aside from the marinara being on top). We tried the Hot Honey Meat Lovers and it was a work of art, would definitely come back to get it again.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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. ??“

“Absolute cracker of a place with good, spicy food🌶 and super warm staff!

We were asked for spice levels while ordering and everything came well within those levels. We love some spice and hence not disappointed with level 3 spice at all!

Coconut shrimp with the spicy honey dipping sauce were good while the chicken satay skewers disappeared in no time.

Chicken Ka Prow fried rice came with good chunks of chicken and veggies.

Fried rice with vegetables had a couple of types of peppers which made the dish a bit spicier than we wanted but was tasty anyway!

Pad Woon Sen with bean thread noodles was the dish we all loved above others. Fantastic noodles, very well prepared.

We did have some smoothies but they had tiny pebble-sized pieces of ice, which we weren’t fans of.

Our waiter was a young lady who took very good care of our table and deserves special mention for going way above our expectations.

The dining area is spacious, Ambiance is nice. Restrooms are clean.“

“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.“

“i tried the chicken pho today and it was amazing 👏 everything is always fresh and the service is top notch“

“Birthday dinner was adequate. Had the New Orleans roll to start that was to have “spicy sauce.” Wasn’t served with sauce and if it was in the roll it wasn’t spicy. Partner had beef bulgogi which was good. I had the Angry Noodles (billed as SPICY) which were not very angry. Kind of like Asian Fusion meets Italian. Sauce was flavorful with a very mild bite, a bit disappointing. Offered dessert but no discount or anything to observe a birthday. Thai iced coffee was excellent. We will go back though as the service is excellent, the atmosphere good and the portions are large.“

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

“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.“

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

“One of our favorite restaurants in town. The food is always perfectly prepared and there are so many options from sushi to pad thai and all sorts of hibachi entrees. Even the milk teas and boba teas are delicious. This is one of our favorite date night stops. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We have also had excellent experiences with ordering and picking up takeout!!!“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Love it here! One of my favorite restaurants!“

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

“Love the buffet especially.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“The pizza is delicious and inexpensive!“

“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!!“

“only my second time ever going there . the waitress was really nice . food came out fairly quik but was not really that great. maybe it was a off nite my steak taste like it was rolld I'm pepper than burnt. the mash potatoes was unbearable taste like u were eating pure salt. the shrimp were good and mac and cheese bites were awesome . not sure if I wud go back but my daughter likes it there she even said her steak was as good as usual....“

“New update - we gave it another try. It's nack to super tasty pizza again!

Really tasty pizza initially --- it was our go to. The last 3 orders were a total disappointment. They were either late (due to issues with ordering online via their website), missing a topping, sloppy, or burnt. On the plus side, the staff is always really nice.“
