50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Milwaukee

“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.“

“Great experience for our anniversary celebration tonight. Jasmin was a fabulous server and explained everything great for our first time here. We will definitely be back!“

“Our first trip to Zarlettis downtown Milwaukee was very enjoyable. My husband and I celebrated our 38th anniversary here and were greeted with two glasses of complimentary champagne. Very nice touch. Our server was outstanding and made sure we were taken care of at all times. I chose the bolagnese with the housemade papparadelle pasta. So deliscious! Hubby had the short ribs over risotto and they were outstanding. We also shared a pancetta shrimp skewer, a pear gorgonzola salad and had the creamy chickpea soup. A very nice meal followed by a shared house made tiramisu. I would put this one in my top 5 list and I eat tiramisu every chance I get when available. We also were served bread with traditional olive oil, pepper and parmesan. Given it was a celebration we also enjoyed a nice bottle of pinot grigio and a barolo special red. The restaurant was cozy and perfect for our celebration. Thanks to all the staff for treating us so well. We would visit again for sure!“

“Overall experience was great. Started off with the fried calamari as an appetizer which was to die for and good portion. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the ribeye. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted juicy and tender. We shared the asparagus and crab Mac and cheese for our sides. (Sides are portioned to be shareable). The sides were great as well. My only suggestion is providing clean plates for your sides since they are shareable. The steak comes on a plate covered in au jus which is delicious, but I didn't want to plate my mac n cheese on that plate and the bread plates were a little small. Not a big deal though! Service was great, ambiance was cozy. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owner and the bartenders make this the perfect neighborhood Irish bar. Great atmosphere and the food is top notch. Great portion sizes and a good value. A must for Friday Fish Fry, it is fantastic! And the chicken wings are out of this world. 5-stars for O'Lydias!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Was never to Oscars before. I didn't expect that I'd be eating the greatest burger I've had in my Life. Meat was thick and juicy. Bun was clean and soft. Onion rings were hot with a firm dense crust. My friend and I were almost in disbelief. Staff was incredibly polite. Clientele, (place was packed), were well-mannered. I'll definitely be back. 10/10“

“Finally stopped in and wish I had a long tome ago! Everything was fantastic, amazing guacamole incredible flavor. The steak was marinated superbly and everything was fresh and delicious. One of the best Mexican restaurants in or around Milwaukee. Don't think twice, you won't be disappointed.“

“Great food and service.“

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

“After moving here four years ago, I had given up hope of finding a place with genuinely decent baked fish. I finally found it here! The food is excellent, and the staff is absolutely amazing.

I've had Anjalesa twice now, and she has been wonderful—truly exceptional service.

If I could complain about one thing, it's the consistent lack of salad. I've come three Fridays now, and every time, the salad is completely gone, which is the only side I can have. They can't have one of the best ranches and not carry enough salad that they run out every Friday I've been here! I end up paying full price but leave with no side.

I hope the management sees this and addresses the salad stock, because otherwise, this place is a huge winner.“

“My wife and I were there celebrating our anniversary and they could not have made it a better experience. From a champagne toast, to acknowledgment from several team members, The Capital Grille staff showed why they are the best among high-end steakhouses. We could not say enough about how well we were treated and truly felt special for the evening. Thank you!“

“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.“

“Such a great atmosphere and even better food!“

“Dani was an excellent distillery tour guide. We have visited several distilleries across the country (Sagamore, Jack Daniel, Uncle Nearest, Kentucky makers of Elijah Craig,, and Still Glen in the Dells and by far we learned the most from Dani! We will be back. The food was great too!“

“Been going to Broken Bat since they moved to their new location on 1st and Pittsburgh. I absolutely recommend this place and its entirety and wish I lived closer. Whether it’s wiffle ball, darts, or kicking back and enjoying a Beach Ball (my personal favorite Pineapple Milkshake IPA) no brewery comes close to offering the atmosphere of Broken Bat. But what really makes Broken Bat so special especially to the city of Milwaukee is they care about the people and the surrounding community. They aren’t here to just make another craft beer and take your dollar. If you’ve ever met the owner Tim you’ll understand what I’m saying. So… Whether you’re in the area or at a local store, grab a beer made by Broken Bat Brewing Company. You’re doing yourself a favor and supporting an establishment that deserves it. PS- if you’re a Marquette fan (or not) -> Find the beer “Ring Out Ahoya” and crack it open during Marquettes deep run this year“

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

“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.“

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