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 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“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“Delicious pizza with great service! Highly recommend!“

“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“

“It was a nice escape from the outside world! Really makes me feel like I time traveled to the past! Great food, amazing decor, will be coming back!!“

“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!!“

“Chef Mike and Jim just treated a huge crowd of cancer patients and their caregivers. The short ribs were out of this world, fall off the bone. it was so generous and much appreciated.“

“Very good food, great service. Drove 45 mins out of my way to try this place, will be back!“

“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.“

“Steak and scallops were exceptional. My server was very attentive and always smiling. The flow and timing of service and food was very good. A little in the pricey side but I’d rather spend a little more for great food than spend less and be disappointed. I was by myself and ate near the bar and there were three loud drunk guys there that could have used some redirection. Other than that, a near perfect evening.“

“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 😋 💯🤩“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

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

“amazing great flavor on everything we had“

“My friend and I were actually diverted from Mr. Bs due to a facility issue. We are not exactly French Restaurant kind of guys (we had lots of questions on the menu!!). Nevertheless, we had an AMAZING experience!!! George was a fantastic server. Will definitely visit again. Beautiful restaurant.“

“Wonderful Greek fast food. Grape leaves, gyros, salads -- all outstanding. Never been disappointed.“

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

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

“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.“

“Cool vibe and nice beers. We were there for the release of the Mystic Knot series and had a flight of them while listening to live Irish music. What's not to like. Would love to come when I could experience the outside space. We'll be back.“

“Great food and service.“

“We had a bad experience with the server Troy N. He was very unprofessional and disrespected us. We have been coming to Capital Grille for over 25 years, and this was the worst experience I have ever encountered. Troy N. was rushing us. We sat down, and he wanted to take our dinner order right away without asking us what we would like to drink or what appetizers we would like to order. Troy N. should return to George Webb as a server. He doesn't measure up to Capital Grille's expectations.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Came for my sister’s birthday in 2024 it was really cool! We had a tour and sampled a few different spirits. Then we went upstairs after and hung around in the bar. They do serve food there, but it’s a little pricey and they don't allow you to customize the options. I remember a build your own being more expensive than their other burger options.“
