50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Eau Claire

“Been here before, but it's been a very long time. We were passing through the area and looking for a place to eat. It happened to be a very busy weekend, and the Informalist was one of the few places that did not have a long line to get seated. Got in right away and seated for some brunch.

The restaurant is spacious and well designed. It's a bit upscale, but perfectly capable of making people feel relaxed and welcome. We got greeted right away by the server and settled in with menus and waters.

Our order wasn't complicated: some of the Custard Battered French Toast, a short stack of pancakes, and two eggs. I also ordered a London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, and extra foam). It didn't take long for the food to come, but the London Fog took a while longer.

The French Toast was amazingly good, and the pancakes and eggs were also very good. I was half done with my meal by the time my London Fog arrived, and the server was very apologetic (saying that the coffee shop was very busy). I might have been satisfied with that, but the London Fog was just okay. While there was some extra foam, the drink itself was flat, as if they just heated up the milk and mixed it with the tea. (They need to do a better job with polishing the steamed milk so that it creates a creamy texture, especially if they ar charging $8)

Overall, a good experience, and a few tweaks would have made it excellent. Would stop again if I was in the mood for the French Toast.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great, fast food. Very friendly staff.“

“Most wonderful spring rolls in town! Love the ginger chicken and coconut milk soup- absolutely delicious ♥️“

“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!“

“Katie, Thank you so much for assisting us with hosting my retirement party there on 11/15/24. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and with your assistance we had the right amount. The room had the perfect setup allowing for ease at getting food and drinks. Our bartender Hannah was great!!“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing! Staff and food! Highly recommend!“

“Now when I say this is my favorite place to eat, I mean it! It has been the best since the first location opened, and the rest are also outstanding! The owners are amazing, the food is always delicious, and the staff is always great as well. I will always be back. also, everyone should definitely try the queso sauce. the absolutely most amazing one!“

“Eddie and Boy are the best experience here. Not sure if people know they shut down in the middle of the day to clean the restaurant and wow do they clean people on ladders !! Taking things off shelfs to get everything just wow. If you meet Eddie and boy you'll know always smiling always giving the best service. Can't wait to go back.“

“Nice place, great cookies“

“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.“

“Good food glad it’s back again“

“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!“

“It was a great place. The food was amazing. Very polite servers and very attentive, only thing I wish was, they would put a label on the dishes that come out cause there's not really any explanations on the tablet. Otherwise it was great place highly recommend it. Order in rounds. Not all at once. You get full faster than you think“

“Very family friendly place to go eat, great service, picture perfect food, great drinks 🍔🥪🌮🌯🥗🍾🍺🍹“

“We enjoyed our stay overall. Prices were reasonable and they gave us a few coupons. We had a few minor complaints. The water park was a little smaller than we expected and the water and air Temperature were colder than expected. My 2 year old was shivering and had to come out multiple times to warm up. The room was clean, however the air filter probably needs to be cleaned as we all suffered with stuffy noses after just one night.“

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

“Good food and pleasant staff“

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

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

“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.“

“We had the absolute best time here today for lunch. The waitress was awesome she took her time to answer all our silly questions and when our food was not right she did not hesitate to get it fixed. She was great. Thank you Payton“

“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.“

“My wife, father, me and 2 grandsons went here for dinner, haven’t ate for about 10 years this restaurant has to be under new ownership since we have been here, only one waitress for 5 tables while we were here, soda was flat but our server let me bring in 2 bottles of pop we got from festival while she gave us 2 glasses with ice, my grandsons split a order of house rice with beef, my father had a duck platter with white rice, my wife and I shared a cry tiger steak platter and a order of house rice with beef, I do not mind spicy food but the cry tiger steak was veryyyyyyyyyy spicy even for me, our server did a really great job and she was very polite and friendly, the prices were reasonable on most of the food, the cry tiger steak was good but a little high on price, we will definitely eat here again but order with a lower spice level 🙃🙃“

“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!“

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

“little dinner date with a special lady. Matthew and crew did a great job. Food was perfect! Was a treat to have the GOAT himself prepare the sushi! Henry did a great job. BEST SUSHI AND ENVIRONMENT in town!! Password is great !!“

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

“Top-rated Italian steakhouse with great service and food.“

“Great food, very reasonable prices. Excellent kids menu with lots of options including choice of two sides, requested disassembled prep of taco and was served this way no problem. Wish there was one closer to us!“

“Excellent Food Large Amount !!🤪🤪😜😜😎“

“Tonight, 8/30/2025, We got the combo platter for 2. Amazing, just amazing! And don’t forget a few Frosted glasses of New Glarus-Naked beer. Gooood!“

“Food, drinks and staff were wonderful! Very loud. Hard to hear the conversation at our table. We don’t mind the 18% automatic gratuity, but no one else in town does that. Therefore, the bartender, and server should let customers know when they order. Even though it is on the bill, and there is a place for an additional tip as well as a mention on the menu, it is difficult to see in the restaurant/bar because of the low lights.“

“Amazing burritos, fast and delicious.

The best thing about Burrachos is their selection of ingredients. I tend to get their barbacoa when I stop in, but every other option I’ve gotten has also been great. Their burritos are big and will keep you full. And their bowls are also a good size for the price.“

“Very mixed reviews. I was reading as I ate my chicken and broccoli. I get take out 6 or so times a year, always very satisfied with everything.
I think it's only 2 people working here, they bust but.... be back in a few weeks.“

“The burgers are excellent! We had our 2 and 5 year olds with us and they accommodated them well. Great service and staff!“

“Grandson and I had an amazing time today! Great service and food.“

“I'm from Milwaukee and have high standards for food. these last few years have been a challenge in finding good restaurants. EC, check this place out! I've never been disappointed. from packer games to take out, everything I've had has been delicious. You are a go to for me! Try the Cuban or the Nashville hot, which the bartender recommended today. IMO, fantastic and reasonable prices. Please give my respect to the bartender. He is amazing!“
