50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Altoona

“I have been going to Altoona family for years over a decade at least and when my son was in an accident in 2022 the owners made sure we were taken care of when we ate there, special pancakes with sprinkles and whip cream. Now today I went there with my son and I ordered my usual and the owner paid for my meal.. This restaurant surely is amazing and all over the best family restaurant in our area and Im not just saying this because of a free meal. Everytime I go there she (the owner ) is always talking to me asking me how I am doing just like a family catching up, plus the service great food and prices is why I will continue to go back time and time again and support such an amazing family! thank you for all that you and your staff do!“

“Exceptional service and excellent food. Homemade chips and salsa were beyond compare. Washed it down with a yummy jalapeño margarita. So good!! Large servings and reasonable prices… Definitely a hidden gem. If I lived in the area, I would frequent this place every week! Kind staff and fun atmosphere. Thanks for a wonderful wind down after a long day of travel for work.“

“Great food, friendly staff. Small issue with my order, but they immediately made it up to me without me even saying anything.

I got the chicken tacos, which were fantastic. Ordered carryout, so the food in the attached photo probably comes out even better when you get it at the restaurant.

Would definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in Eau Claire.“

“We always look for the "mom and pop" places. We aren't from the area, but we make it a point to come to Chick-a-dee's when we're in town for Rock Fest. The service and food has been great.“

“We are regularly at Randy's, about every Friday you'll find us there. We have never had a bad meal,always plenty of food and the prices are very fair. The wait staff are always friendly, our food comes out fast. I would definitely recommend Randy's for a good meal, breakfast, lunch,and dinner all good.“

“I placed an advance lunch order for business purposes. The ordering process, confirmation phone call the day before, on-time delivery and perfectly accurate order were all fantastic. Of course, the food tasted great as well! We will certainly order again in the future. Mancino's EC made it quick and easy to fit lunch in to our busy day. Thank you!“

“5th year in a row we’ve rented the group space for our post-Christmas office party. It never disappoints. A perfect space for our energetic group who loves to chat, laugh, and move around a bit. Bonus that there is great beer available, a friendly bartender, AND we can bring in whatever food we want to feed our crew. Such a great option. Looking forward to next year!“

“This was our first time here and we were very impressed with this winery and especially the owner, Sara. We also met her Sister who was visiting and enjoyed both their passion for this winery and its amazing wine! This is different than all the other sweeter wineries around WI and it is the Best Winery I have been to. (I’ve been to many other WI Wineries). Please take time to visit, enjoy some delicious wine along with getting to know why this Winery is so special. Thank you Sara for showing the pride and love you have put into this place!“

“My mornings as of late have been spent reflecting on all I'm grateful for. Not due to any holiday traditions or faith or that, but just to simply go over the details and experience in microdosing all the new people Ive met, the new places Im walking, the new days Im waking up to sunshine and a smile. That time has been spent at this AWESOME (not so little) WONDERFULLY FRIENDLY and DELICIOUS Cafe for Breakfast and Brunch called The Nucleus ⚛ Their staff is unbelieveably polite, considerate and lgbtqii+ inclusive all around! This has been a place Ive only started in but I already feel its now a regular haunt and a spot if you're in the area cant be missed if you want to get up on the right piece of toast~ [ALSO: Vegan Options!!] Take a morning and treat yo self. Go to: The Nucleus⚛ Eau Claire, WI.“

“Very happy we finally stopped in! Food was great, friendly staff. We will be back!“

“Bijou Bistro was a guest favorite! The food was creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was smooth, professional, and perfectly timed with the flow of the evening. They truly elevated the cocktail hour and wedding experience!“

“It was our first time at Sammy’s. Hubby and I wanted something quick and simple and affordable. I had always wanted to stop for the salad buffet. We ordered the lunch special which is the personal pizza and salad bar. The salad bar was good but if I had my way, I wish it had greens and not shredded iceberg. I’d pay a dollar or two more for that. 😂 But it was still good and fresh. The waitress was SUUUUPPPEERR friendly. I asked her recommendation for pizza and she said the primo which is what I ordered. It did not disappoint! What I noticed immediately that it was REAL sausage chunks. Not the cheap pellets you sometimes see. Also I saw that there was sausage evenly distributed to ensure you get a piece of meat at every bite. Most places don’t do that and it drives me nuts. The crust was thin and crunchy which I loved. There was a good sauce to cheese ratio. If you want something affordable, stop at this great mom n pop restaurant. They even have take home frozen pizzas. No cardboard pizzas here. We will be regular customers when we crave pizza. Yumm!“

“What a great little place! Super fast service, fair pricing, some of the yummiest dips & sauces I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to visit Eau Claire again & stop back in for more delicious food“

“BEST fish fry I’ve ever had! 100/10. The cajun fries are amazing, too.“

“Amazing all you can eat sushi & full menu. Always fresh & perfect portion sizes for all you can eat. Service is always consistent, as well. It is a nice date spot for my husband & I- whether during lunch time or evening time. Definitely one of our favorite go-to spots in Eau Claire.“

“We did go early afternoon on a Friday so it wasn't too busy. But the service was quick and efficient. Our server was entertaining and made the experience all that much better. The food was delicious and came out in an appropriate timely manner and presentation of the dishes were clean and beautiful. A little pricey but worth it.“

“So yummy! I love their chicken curry and their palak paneer. Great service.“

“uses AI and thinks they can lie about it👎“

“Just left there, everything was sooo good! Awesome environment, staff and food!“

“We came in here on a slow Thursday night and were very impressed. Our server was really nice and attentive. I got a Santa Fe burger, which was well seasoned and cooked, perfect spice level, really tasty! I liked that they have a smaller patty option. Fries were perfect. Great atmosphere. Would definitely stop in again.“

“EXCELLENT SUSHI! EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! LOVE YOUR SUSHI AND THE BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION!!!!!“

“I will recommend Metropolis to all family and friends my children loved it here. There was so much to do and we felt safe with all the friendly staff everywhere!! Special SHOUT OUT to Sophia!! we had some issues with our online promotion and she helped us all the way through. She was professional, kind, and did her best to make sure we received the best customer service experience!!“

“My husband and I were in the area for Thanksgiving from Illinois. I really wanted to try a supper club. We had shrimp cocktail, the fish fry dinner, and a burger. It was all delicious! The salad bar comes with any entrée and was so good. Everything was fresh and there was a variety to choose from. We sat at the bar. Not only was the service great but we talked with some really friendly people next to us. I'm so glad we tried it and would definitely recommend!“

“We had a group at the Sandbar last night for the Humane Society Bingo Fundraiser. The food was wonderful. The Shrimp Cajun Pasta was excellent!! Thanks Danielle, Kathy and crew!!“

“HUGE shout out to Scott and the crew at Geno’s! Amazing food and even better service. Perfect for lunch/dinner, carry out or catering an event. They hosted our softball team event and it was a BLAST!“

“Outdoor dining, friendly staff, lots of options“

“Nice place, great cookies“

“We always have a good time with the crew at Dooley’s.“

“Omg, that is the best of the best. 12 out 10‼️ All the food and the waitress was phenomenal‼️I left a $40 tip! That how awesome it was. No regrets or second thoughts about it. Our new favorite place‼️ I am already craving their ginger salad and sushi and its only been a couple hours‼️ You have to go try it.“

“This place has had me in a choke hold since around 2005. About 20 years, this is the best teriyaki chicken. Portions are a bit smaller than they used to be with the protein, but the taste has stayed the same. I will always love this place. It's comfort food.“

“Food & the selection of fish was outstanding! Service was great! I tried the ocean perch, cod, and walleye and loved them all!“

“Alright here’s the deal. This place is incredible. If you haven’t made it here yet, carve out time in your week to get here and try one of the many unique and distinct dishes served here.

I got their spicy duck entree. It is stir fried with onions, bamboo shoots, basil, and scallions. It is at a medium heat. It will absolutely activate your nose. But it’s not overly hot.

The flavors of all their food are a solid punch in the face with their boldness. Incredible delicious food in every way. I tried their spicy duck, pad kee mao as well as their red curry chef special. This is an establishment that is well versed in flavor.

Their interior is furnished but not overly nice, and the music doesn’t really set a quiet mood. The interior has the potential to be a little noisy, we only had 2 other groups inside and it was pretty loud.

TL:DR
Get yourself in here!
Well crafted, flavorful food

Very friendly staff

Reasonable interior/seating.“

“Outstanding food with surprisingly large portions. I had the scrumptious custard french toast and my daughter ordered the delectable biscuits and gravy. Each was divine! Our server was charming and efficient, so our dining experience was made that much more pleasant!“

“The white kid that has blonde hair is such a great worker and should get a raise“

“First time customer here. Excellent entree—Gorgonzola penne with peppers.Great staff!“

“Love the new place (west side)! Flavorful food and wonderful people. Great atmosphere and decor is unbelievable. The menu is huge but my favorite is the Fire Burrito. Prices seem very reasonable as two people can get a belly full for less than $30 bucks.“

“The food was just amazing and the Server was very respectful. I had a great experience here. I had a smash burger and the taste was over all an amazing blend. I also had a sundae and nice combination at that, Carmel chocolate and whipped topping. The server Zach was a well mannered guy. Will be coming again. ❤️“

“The seasoning is overpowering. It's not a place for older adults who need to limit their salt intake.“

“I've never had a good experience at this restaurant. haven't been here in years. I decided to swing in for a quick salad after my workout. I got there at 12:50 PM on a Tuesday. I was able to order right away, I didn't order a beverage. At 1:00 the couple behind me sat down, at 1:05 the couple behind me ordered. At 1:10 the couple behind me got their order(S) I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and was solo. I had other oligations going on I had to get to, I figured it wouldn't take that long for a chicken salad. As I got to the festival foods doors, The manager came out of famous Dave's and yelled, "Don't you want your food?" 😂 ....Yeah I sure did but not 40 minutes later sorry not sorry. Thanks for nothing!“

“Best pizza in Eau Claire or around!!!“

“We treated ourselves to dinner there on the Saturday after Christmas. It was amazing. Impecable details abound from the attentive wait staff, to the cooked-to-perfection (and personal requests) meals, desserts and cocktails. An excellent choice for feeling pampered... perfection without ego! Comfortable! A special note of thanks to Eric for his attention to every detail.“
