50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Massanutten

“Called 3 times to ask about takeaway orders, no one answered.
Ordered 1 appetizer and 3 cocktails: the cocktails were good (I had the campfire skipper - one of those dangerous fruity drinks that you're tempted to order half a dozen of because you can't taste the alcohol so don't realize how much you've had), but the cheese dip app was overpriced (12 preztels with a little skillet of dip that could reasonably cover a 20 count) - and there's an upcharge for extra pretzels.
Friendly staff: everyone from the hostess Caroline to our server (her name started with a J, and I'm so sorry I can't remember it, but shout out to her) and the assistant manager Gabe. They're all lovely.
It's a good thing we only came for drinks, because by the time our order came out, we had had to listen to a screaming toddler for nearly 10 minutes. If we'd planned to stay longer, I would have had words with the manager about the noise - not the restaurant's fault, but had I stayed longer, definitely something I would expect a manager to step in about.“

“🌄 Massanutten Overnight Stay: Here's What to Know 🛶🦌🎉 I recently had the chance to spend a night at Massanutten Resort, and let me just say — if you think you’ve seen it all before, think again. Whether you're staying for business, fun, or something in between, this place is like a little mountain town of its own. You could easily spend a week here and still not hit everything. ✨ Arrival & Check-In We checked in around 1PM on a Thursday. It was smooth, quick, and the staff was friendly. One thing to note: there are two exits out of the parking lot, and the resort actually continues up the mountain across the road, which wasn’t super clear up front. A little more signage or direction at check-in would’ve been helpful — but once you're on your way, the signage kicks in and makes exploring easier. This place is huge — full-on neighborhoods, rental communities, and at least 12 different kinds of fun, from go-karts to golf to hiking trails with stunning overlooks that are totally worth wandering off the path for. 🏡 The Condo We stayed in the Woodstone area. Condo was updated, clean, and surprisingly spacious. The full kitchen had everything we needed, and the jacuzzi tub in the main area was a great bonus (pro tip: bring bath salts or bubbles if you’re a soak person). One small suggestion: a display basket in the kitchen area for fruit or snacks would be a handy touch. We made it work, but it stood out. 🚬 Smoker-Friendly Balcony (Yes, Really) Here’s something you don’t see often: the balcony allows smoking. One of us is a smoker, so it was nice to see a resort acknowledge it with clear rules instead of pretending people don’t do it. It was appreciated. An ashtray would be helpful, but hey — props for even allowing it at all. 🧖‍♀️ Rec Center = Hidden Gem The indoor/outdoor pools were clean and inviting, and the eucalyptus steam room hit the reset button for all of us. Sauna, loungers, pool tables, arcade, and a very decent gym — just don’t forget closed-toed shoes and proper attire if you want to use the equipment. (Let’s just say we learned the hard way.) 🍽️ Campfire Grill = Worth the Trip Alone Dinner was hands-down one of the best parts of the stay. The crispy catfish with roasted corn remoulade was perfection, and the Campfire Burger didn’t miss. Even the “kid food” was solid. This place isn’t just convenient — it’s genuinely good. Would honestly come back for the food alone. 🎢 Coming Soon: A Rollercoaster. Yes, Really. They’re currently building a rollercoaster into the side of the mountain that’ll cross over the road — coming 2026. It’s giving real alpine adventure energy. Can’t wait to see that finished. 💦 Other Highlights Didn’t get to explore the indoor waterpark this time (it’s open to the public, just outside the resort and not part of the resort itself!), but it’s nice to know it’s nearby. Definitely something to keep in mind for longer stays or families. 🛠️ A Small Glitch, Handled Well We had an issue with our lock after check-in — had to go back to the desk and wait for maintenance, but staff was helpful and quick to respond. What was more concerning: the next morning, we noticed the door was slightly open. Luckily, I had made a mental note when reading the check-in instructions — they specifically mentioned using the chain lock before bed, and I’m so glad I latched it. Our room was very separated, so honestly, we wouldn’t have heard a thing if someone had come in. Definitely unsettling, but staff reassured me they could check key swipes and entry logs — and said they would. That kind of transparency makes a big difference. ✨ Final Take If you’re looking for a place that mixes fresh mountain air with a ton of activities, relaxing spaces, and solid service — Massanutten’s worth checking out. Whether it’s a full-on vacation, a quick overnight, or something in between, this resort has the space and variety to fit just about any kind of stay.“

“This was a nice experience. It is outdoors with table service. The server was very pleasant. Food was better and tastier than we all expected from a place like this. My wife's burger was slightly over cooked from what she requested, but hey, this ain't a burger joint. My Bahn Mi sandwich was not totally authentic, but hey, it's not a Vietnamese restaurant - still very good. We liked the chicken sandwich and wings. We would certainly go there again.“

“My daughters and I dined for brunch on a Sunday around noon. The place is small, hence a 30 minute wait, surprisingly it moves fast. It was definitely worth the wait. I had a hot dirty chai latte, Blue Monkey, and a veggie omelet w/ fried potatoes (home fries). My daughters had the Potato Boat w/the homemade biscuit and the Breakfast Grinder along w/ a cold chai latte w/oat milk. Everything was beyond delicious. I kid you not I’m critical about food and there’s something they do in the kitchen that brings the flavours out like a surprise in your mouth. Special shout out to Tatum, our waitress, but everyone was great. Definitely recommend and will be back.“

“Love this place! This our 4th time in the area and we make sure to have breakfast here . The food is always delicious and the service is amazing. If you are in the area you should definitly get a meal here .“

“We just ate dinner here and we were all so impressed. Every single thing was delicious - from the fresh salads and dressing, the fresh garlic bread, the soups to our entrees. We all had something different and it was all amazing. Everything tasted homemade. Service was excellent and fast. This was hands down our favorite place that we dined at in the area. I really wish we had something this good where I live! Save yourself a trip to Olive Garden and eat here instead! You won’t regret it!“

“SHOUT OUT TO JONAH !! I did a review on him 6 months ago. We had a family of 11 to come in. We were very loud and probably not the best behaved people. I had just moved my Mother here from Wilmington NC. We were all celebrating her move. I actually felt bad for who was going to take care of us. They moved us to the very back of the restaurant. They had to close the door because we were to loud. A young guy showed up and I was worried for him. I said oh my gosh he looks like Austin Butler who played Elvis. He said he gets that a lot. Jonah was absolutely a wonderful Waiter. He was very humble and did an amazing job taking care of us. He literally could handle all of us . The food was delicious and we couldn’t be more happy. We absolutely adored Jonah. I honestly still don’t understand how he took care of 11 people. He never told us to be quiet Orr say you are to loud. He just excepted us the way we’re. I appreciate that. We asked him alot of questions about himself. He was delightful. I was a Flight Attendant for 17 years and I can appreciate very good outstanding service. I told him when we come back I am asking for you. The next time we went it was just my mom and I and I had lost my LV purse. And he helped me go outside because that day a big truck dumped alot of garbage in your parking lot. Jonah we thought maybe they took my purse. On his time he tried finding my purse. I appreciate that. Then we went again tonight. I didn’t think he was there so I didn’t ask. When I saw him I immediately grabbed his attention. I told him, I didn’t think you were there so I didn’t ask. He said that’s ok don’t worry about that. He is definitely a blessing to have there. We appreciate everything he does. He has an awesome personality and will go far in life because of his disposition. Thank you again. If you go here ask for Jonah.“

“The food and staff are amazing!“

“Good atmosphere the bartender was super friendly!“

“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.“

“I’m not normally a fan of Mexican food but this is the best place hands down!!!! The waitress was so friendly and accommodating and we will definitely be back!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“My husband and I used Hank’s Grille and Catering for our wedding this past May. We had a vision and they helped us bring it to life! We wanted it simple, hot dogs and hamburgers on our Memorial Day weekend wedding. we used their food truck services and it was a hit! Everyone loved the food and we got the simple meal we wanted for our big day. They were amazing to work with before and during the big day.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic food! The Pho is great, but also highly recommend the combo fried rice and the Bahn Mi. Hands down the best Bahn Mi and Thai tea in town.“

“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. ??“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!!!“

“I love this place🥰 and all the people who work here are very friendly and the food is tasty I love visiting this place🥰“

“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“

“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.“

“The pizza is delicious and inexpensive!“

“Great pulled beef! The flavor and service was awesome“

“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.“

“Good. I’m not sure if they have smokers or not… but not bad at all.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

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