50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Milwaukee

“Great relaxing environment. Everyone was so friendly in there and they have a great selection of drinks“

“Our server Deon was great and every single thing we tried tasted sooooo good. We got a bunch of appetizers, a few different shakes and desserts and the wings, a burger and the pineapple Express burger with a chicken patty instead. This is a a place you could easily take non vegans and they would love it too. Highly suggest this place. Try everything you can!“

“Temple Goddess is the best vegan restaurant I’ve been to in Milwaukee. The menu has a wide variety of options and really shows how versatile and satisfying plant-based food can be, not just a couple of afterthought vegan items. Everything we ordered was full of flavor and clearly made with care and intention. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was excellent, and as someone who rarely eats out anymore, this is one of the few places I would happily return to.“

“lunch today was 100% delicious!!!!“

“Our experience there was absolutely amazing! The environment was inviting and the food was to die for. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for our BEST dining experience ever.“

“Excellent food excellent service Nice change to have a professional serve us and a professional cooked food highly recommended this restaurant“

“We were very impressed with our guide Keirsten.She was over the top with our SPICY group. Shakers accompanied our wounded leg toury so she could seek out ghosts with us. Sampling a few amazing menu items and cocktails prior to walk about. Shakers hands down made the best Old Fashions we had on our trip to the mid-west.Thank you for letting us make memories at Shaker’s 10/10“

“This was our 4th time at 5 O'clock -- if you are looking for a great steak and an authentic Wisconsin supper-club, this is the place. Relish trays, wild, exuberant decor, and lots of energy. We had petit filets and a bone-in ribeye and they were all cooked perfectly and served in an au jus sauce. Very nice sear on the steaks. We also ordered onion rings and asparagus as sides -- very healthy portions for both and they were cooked nicely and arrived hot. Our appetizer was something I have never had or seen before "bacon sticks" -- and they were great tho I felt like my chance of a heart attack went up a few points while I was eating them. Basically, they were like long strips of crispy pork belly; super salty and smoky.“

“Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Our meals are always delicious no matter what we select, burgers, fish, brunch. Great selection of options. Love the outdoor patio.“

“Thank you Shelly, Michael and the entire team for a wonderful 70th birthday celebration for my husband! Our party of 10 was seated even before we expected, we were treated like family, all 10 different orders arrived within minutes of each other and the food is always amazing!! THANK YOU!!“

“I loved the Hottie Hottie. I also had the Spicy Miso Ramen which was excellent. The broth was the perfect balance of smoky/creamy/spicy. Thai Iced Tea was fantastic too.“

“Great food and service!!!“

“What a great find. Nice place, great energy. The service from hostess, bartender, waiter, and food runner was prompt, polite, and sincere. Food was excellent. The queso was flavorful, melty, and delicious paired with the lovely bread, and assortment of fruits. The empanadas were the obvious stars of the show - soft billowy outer shells that had a nice bite, filled with delicious stuffings. Dessert was great as well, opting for that sinful cookie bar with ice cream.“

“The food and atmosphere were absolutely amazing! Our server, Victor was fabulous! Super helpful and kind. Highly recommend! We will be back. Thank you!“

“Our favorite local restaurant. Unique and delicious menu with the best brunch!“

“Leon's has been on South 27th Street since 1942 and they remodeled in the early 1950s into the neon-lit, walk-up drive-in format that still exists today, meaning the building you're standing in front of has looked more or less like this since before most of your relatives were born. There's no dining room. You walk up to the window, you order, you eat in the parking lot or on the hood of your car, and on a warm Milwaukee evening you are surrounded by a full cross-section of the city doing the exact same thing. It's one of those places that functions as a kind of social institution without anyone having to try.
The custard is made fresh daily with cream and eggs and it shows. The texture is dense and silky in a way that regular ice cream cannot match, which is something food writers have been saying about Leon's for decades and which is still true when you actually eat it. We had the Butter Pecan, which is one of three flavors always on rotation alongside vanilla and chocolate, and it has this nutty sweetness that holds up all the way to the bottom of the cone. The Super Sundae Special is the move if you're not sure what to order: vanilla custard, hot fudge, pecans, and a genuinely generous pile of cherries that they do not scrimp on.
The Hot Fudge Sundae is a separate thing from the Special and equally good, with a fudge that runs thick and warm and doesn't slide off into the cup immediately. We also had a chocolate shake just to see, and it was the kind of chocolate shake that makes you realize you've been settling for lesser versions of the thing for most of your life.“

“Delicious pizza with great service! Highly recommend!“

“We visited for the first time today and this is an amazing place!! Our server Chad was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious!!! I was skeptical because we came close to closing time but the food came out fast looking picture perfect and tasted out of this world!! Chad made us welcome didn’t rush us at all and was on top of it!! Definitely a MUST TRY SPOT!! We will be back for sure!!“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“January 16, 2026. Just had a wonderful experience at Balistreri’s. There were 4 of us having the BEST PIZZA EVER! This is our go to pizza joint…all the way from North Carolina🤣🤣 (a joke). But my review is mainly regarding our awesome waiter, Ricardo! He was so pleasant and fun and played along with our joke! He showed that he truly enjoyed his job….what a joy!“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“We had an awesome experience last night! Food was some of the best we’ve ever had, cocktails were fabulous and the service was outstanding! Ali our waitress, was on point throughout the entire evening. I would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back again!! Thank you for making my birthday dinner so lovely and delicious 😋 💯🤩“

“Best food in Milwaukee. Inventive small plates with seasonal ingredients make each dinner at Odd Duck a new experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make me feel welcomed every time. 10/10“

“The pork chop was excellent! I liked that it was served with Gnocchi and not rice or a normally cooked potato. I sampled a bourbon drink and it was so good. Too much sugar if you have diabetes like my partner. Haha“

“Amazing desserts!!! 🤩 We were so glad to finally try this bakery! It lived up to the expectations & we loved it. Will definitely be back! Thank you for having a vegan menu! 😋“

“Just ate here with my girlfriend's and it was very good. service was excellent and food was delicious! Adding some pics“

“EB Elizabeth Always gives Great Customer Service- Top Notch. Food and atmosphere are always great! Come here often and the experience, atmosphere and food will have me always coming back! Thank-you for awesome time! Stephen“

“Damond provided outstanding service. Great atmosphere. The Chicken Sandwich is truly the best ever. I’ll be back, working my way through the menu!“

“Best bagel breakfast in the city.“

“amazing great flavor on everything we had“

“Great food and service.“

“I was here today & had a fantastic Milwaukee pizza, garlic bread & a glass of wine! I was shocked to see how big it was inside! It’s also very nice & I can’t wait to use the outdoor patio when warmer! Rob was so accommodating & helped me to my car with my food as I’m disabled! Can’t say enough about this place!! The whole area has been revitalized & is really beautiful!! Thank you for an enjoyable dinner!!“

“Great host, great food, great location!“

“Great drinks, burgers and the best fries iv ever had.“

“Great local place. Very friendly service. And the pancakes were amazing!“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“One of, if not my favorite, MKE places!“

“Super friendly staff. VERY quick order to food on the table time. Had the pork belly Benny and the carnitas con huevos and both were fresh and delicious. The hash browns (added onions) were some of the best I’ve ever had. Got an order of the French toast with Caramel and candied pecans and that was also very good. Heard they feed seniors for free on Wednesday so going to send my parents over there next week! Any place that treats seniors that was is worth patronizing. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The food on today was good except the dressing It was very dry; it was inedible. My one complaint about this restaurant is they never get your order right. And the female cashier this evening around 4 pm 022625 was unfriendly; when I told her that I didn’t get my muffin , soda and extra piece of fish. Bad customer service makes me not want to eat the food.“

“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“

“First time here today was amazing I had the hot mess and it was to die for ! I will definitely be back !“

“We were lucky enough to get in this restaurant tonight. This food was sooooo good! Serbian stuffed peppers, probably the best I've ever had! We also had Sarma, Raznjici and Chevapchichi. If you go to Milwaukee, eat here!!!! (but definitely make a reservation!) This was seriously one of the best restaurants I've been to in awhile. And our server (Tanya) was so helpful and friendly, we will definitely be back next time we are in town.“

“20/10 highly recommended to all“

“4-2022 I ordered a custom cake and it was absolutely beautiful. Everyone gave me so many compliments on it. The cake was very delicious and didn't disappoint. I will definitely order from them again. They worked with me to accommodate what I wanted. Thank you guys!!“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“My husband and I have been eating at county Claire's for years the food and service is always great sometimes there's a little wait but thats everywhere“

“Cute Robot – 3.10.26
Our 416th unique restaurant between Madison and Milwaukee.

First thing that hit us walking in was the music. Straight 80’s bangers all night. I was grooving in my chair. Great vibe.

We started with a few small plates. The spicy edamame was really good and the pan seared pork gyoza were on point. The sunomono cucumber salad was solid once we added a little salt, pepper, and some of the spicy sauce from the edamame. On its own it could have used a little more flavor, but once we tweaked it everything came together nicely.

Drinks were just okay. Nothing bad, but I would probably skip the cocktails and go with an Asian beer. We finished with an Asahi Super Dry, which ended up being perfect. Ours was imported from Italy.

The burger was the star of the show for me. Two patties, and let me tell you those s.o.b.’s were not smashed. Two thick patties. But the real standout was the bun. Buttered and perfectly toasted. Absolute elite bun work. Toasted bun, two thick patties. Simple, filling, very good.

Madda got the chicken katsu sando (🥪) on traditional white bread, which is how they serve it. She was definitely eyeing my buttery toasted buns with a little jealousy though. Pro tip if you order it, ask for extra sides of both sauces for dipping fries.

Madda got regular fries with hers and I went with the Japanese street fries. Crispy McDonald’s style fries with furikake seasoning, spicy mayo, okonomi sauce, and kewpie mayo. The $2 upgrade to go full throttle was worth it.

The plates and bowls were cute, the paper straws were annoying and make life less enjoyable, the 80’s music carried the vibe, and our server Jacqueline was great and very attentive.

Even though we might not order all the same things next time, I’d definitely come back for one of the curries, the breakfast sandwich, and the egg salad sandwich.“

“Just tried this place today. An all I can say it such a wonderful breakfast. My wife has a gluten allergy. They are very knowledgeable, know what there doing. An make your experience the best it can be. Gluten free French toast with in house made gluten free bread. It was delicious. Made the wife cry happy tears knowing she could feel normal. Thank you Abby made the experience all the more better. Thank you for such a wonderful time.“

“Totally been missing out! All the flavors of the fresh ingredients, omgeee.🤯🥰🤤 Pear salad with the green goddess, focaccia w/ranch (fresh dill), highly recommended; glad they exceeded my expectations as we tried a new place for dinner after a long productive Saturday 🙌 (wayyy better than closed down MOD in Tosa😉)“

“We had an amazing evening in the specialty roof top decorated and heated dome! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and good food!“
