50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Jefferson

“Food was delicious and plentiful. The decor was true old time diner but it was noisy and with a near deaf husband it was hard to communicate. We will go back again if we get the chance.Wheelchair accessibility: No obstacles that I could see for the handicapped.“

“Ok so I rarely write reviews. This place was bonkers. We picked it because it was lent, we wanted fish and it was on the way. The place looked really simple and had some burnt out neon letters which could either be exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.We walked in to a really clean, open space where the music wasn’t super loud and were sat immediately.Our server was awesome. She was clearly from the area and knew the menu inside and out. The menu isn’t super clear and she was able to talk us through our 10000 midwestern questions.We wanted some deep fried stuff so we ordered pickle chips and onion rings. I never would have expected them to be handmade. They were so good. Like, so good that even though I knew I had to eat more food after I still couldn’t stop eating them. And they had the good ranch. You know what I mean. The really good stuff.The server, Lynn, who, again was so super good, recommended the red fish. I’m from Wisconsin. We don’t have redfish. But. She was so awesome so I tried it.I don’t know what kind of insane stuff they put in their blackening season, but it has to be illegal. It was one of those “I am so full but I can’t stop eating” kind of things. Then when I finished my plate my husband started putting his food from his absurdly huge seafood platter on my plate. Even when I was so full I hated myself, I still at the entire deep fried catfish filet. And I couldn’t stop eating THAT either.Literally go there. I’m not kidding. It’s worth the shame you will feel because you can’t stop shoveling all the goodness in your face.“

“Bud's is an institution. Wonderful burgers and other food but clearly the #2 is the star for me. Great barbecue sauce on it! Fries and onion rings are always well prepared. They have a good variety of drinks including Barq's red soda. Staff here was friendly and efficient. Burgers were served up hot and tasty. First visit to this particular Bud's but definitely not my last.“

“Went for Happy Hour. Hours changed and ends at 6pm instead of 7pm. Drinks were good. Appetizers were good but not very hot when served. Food was probably sitting in kitchen for a few minutes or certain items are prepared in advance before being served.“

“I forgot to finish my review and post it. My husband and I were in NOLA for the first time, we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, in August 2023. I have a gluten allergy and it was difficult to find authentic NOLA food that was gluten free. I am so glad I found Atchafalaya Restaurant!! The food was absolutely fantastic and they had several gluten free options! Our waitress was amazing. The restaurant was very cute inside and had a lot more seating than it looked like from the outside.“

“The food was so tasty, as always! Bosco had a very cheerful and cheeky personality that made ordering a fun moment. The service was wonderful; my water glass was never empty. The music was also so lovely and we came at a time where it wasn’t too crowded. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!“

“Service was the best ever.. everything was so great. Made my wife and I 1st wedding anniversary great“

“Headed to New Orleans in July, and Sweet Vegan Soul Food will be my first stop after leaving the airport. This will be my third visit to this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious! The facility is clean and the staff is so friendly. When traveling I’m always excited to locate a tasty vegan restaurant and this place is my spot when in New Orleans! I can’t rave about it’s food enough…simply delicious!“

“Bacchanal was recommended by our Lyft driver. We went the last night of Jazz Fest. Our driver was right it was fabulous. The place doesn't look like much when you pull up to the front, but what a surprise when you walk in. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is the perfect New Orleans style place with an amazing vibe. We ate upstairs after picking out a bottle of wine. We had the Gambas(Shrimp), the Patatas Fritas and the Pork Chop. All were wonderful, especially the Pork Chop. It was cooked/grilled to perfection. Maybe the best Pork Chop we have ever had at a restaurant. We were able to hear the band that was playing in the courtyard but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't carry on a conversation. And the prices are very reasonable. We will be back next time we are in New Orleans.“

“Food was delicious. Wait staff very friendly and attentive.“

“I love Lil Dizzy’s food! The gumbo is like no other. The crawfish bisque is absolutely amazing. The fried chicken is just like my grandma’s. OMG I can go on and on, the Mac and sweet potatoes, potato salad, and so much more! You have to experience this place for yourself.“

“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“My husband and I came in for our anniversary while visiting New Orleans. The whole experience was wonderful. Our server Nikki was amazing and very sweet!“

“I celebrated a birthday at Ralph’s and it was a great experience. The food was excellent, and the service was great. I had the Chicken Cobb salad and a surprise nectar float as part of my birthday celebration! What a treat. The decor from the old New Orleans style building, to the painted murals and white tablecloths was superb. Free street parking out front and a free parking lot in the back is a big plus. A wall of windows gives a superb view of New Orleans city park as well. Reasonably priced and definitely a treat!Parking: Plenty of free, convenient street and lot parking plus valet if you choose.“

“As soon as you walk through the door, you begin to understand that Thaihey has true heart and is all about the love of food, staff and guests. When we took a bite of our first appetizer, the small plate okra with secret spices, our feelings were confirmed: this is a special restaurant. Thaihey excels from the front of the house (Misty, Greg and Nate) to the kitchen (Chef Yimchalam). Chef creates magical Thai fusion dishes in a small, four burner kitchen with authentic Thai ingredients enhanced by locally sourced ingredients. Thank you for this truly amazing experience!“

“Delicious and charming! Go!!“

“Had the most divine time and the staff was amazing. I got to know the owner's children who are amazing young men. They were very welcoming and informative about the history of the restaurant. Had the red snapper with rice and the veggie tray with injera bread. Gonna use my leftover injera for twist-on crepes in the morning.“

“Food was amazing. Service was top notch! Shaira was our server. She did an amazing job. Definitely would come back!“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

“The food and atmosphere is spot on!! However, needs to have REAL flatware to go with the REAL dishes instead of plastic knives, spoons and forks!! That would increase the quality of the dining experience!“

“This place is amazing. The food is perfect. It's also a very cute and colorful atmosphere. Very close to the theaters! It deserves to be busier. I hope more people discover this gem!“

“What a.stunning wine list! Both eclectic and a great value! Food is also outstanding….“

“Great food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“I do not have the words to do this place justice. The interior is lovely and very fitting for the French Quarter but the patio is the best! The food is so delicious that I would be happy to eat every meal there. The attentiveness of the staff was incredible - they know their menu (bar and kitchen) and make great suggestions based on what you like not what they are trying to "move".“

“LOVED ALL OF IT! Great food, atmosphere, wait staff and Jacques himself! Go. Eat. Love it!“

“Its a cool trendy spot, a good choice for date night. The food is freaking delicious and the Sangria is sweet and a little strong too. The service is quick, and the servers helpful and attentive. Its a jeans and nice shirt type of place, I'll be coming here often ??“

“The food was delicious. Full of flavor. Will definitely return when I’m in NOLA again.“

“Stopped here for an early dinner. We got there about 3:30. Handfull of people in front of us to order and a handful came in after us, pretty normal flow. I grabbed a beer at the bar and went and sat down at our table.The 3 of us ordered a 2 meat combo plate and a full rack of ribs. The 2 meats were brisket burnt ends and pulled pork. We ordered the mac and cheese, cornbread muffins and green salad as sides. We were very excited to receive our food and knew we would have leftovers.One problem... our food never came. The handful of people in front of us and behind us, some with larger orders, were either gone or eating. Eventually I went up and the owner was at the register. I showed him my ticket and he went to check on it. He came back and apologized profusely, apparently the kitchen lost our ticket.It happens! I get it. The owner did the right thing, he went back into the kitchen, got the ship righted and got our food out there hot and fresh. He threw in a slice of each of their 3 different pies for our trouble!The food was fantastic and the 3 of us got 3 different meals out of it! Pulled pork was soft and full of flavor. The brisket had a little too much sauce on it for my taste but it was perfect brisket burnt ends. The ribs were fantastic and everything was just as good if not better over the next couple of meals.As far as the sides, spot on again. But those cornbread muffins?? I've never had a more buttery explosion than biting into on of those. Everyone agreed that those muffins are addictive!The Joint is well worth the trip into the Bywater! The bar is well stocked and the bartenders are very good at what they do and very inventive as well! Highly recommend it!“

“Food was amazing and staff was very nice.“

“Food and service were very good. The waiter recommended what to eat as this was our first time. All recommendations were good. Thank you for the nice exoerience“

“Above all, you MUST order the seared scallops and artichoke appetizer. Fan-freaking-tactic! The Black Manhattan is excellent — except is was stirred long enough so it was nearly lukewarm when brought to the table. Great flavor, but disappointed at how warm it was. (An extra point for Luxardo cherries. Seriously. How can a restaurant claim they serve cocktails if they don’t use Luxardo cherries????)“

“We were recommended to Elizabeth’s by a friend and thankfully we went early in our visit to New Orleans, because we ate breakfast here every day of our trip! From the incredible food, one of the best spicy margaritas, and their welcoming, friendly, staff. Thank you for the great meals and memories!“

“So amazing!! Elevated twists on the dishes!! Great atmosphere, and an incredible experience!! Never disappoints!!“
