Restaurant Menus

The following are the vegetarian portions of local restaurant menus. The list will grow as it is compiled. (Items in bold are recommended)

Little Sheba’s (16/56 total items: 28.6%)

  • Snacks
    • Sizzlin’ Quesadillas (specify “veggie”)
    • Big Breadsticks
    • Sheba’s Nachos (specify no Chili)
    • Chips n’ Dip (choose salsa / mexican cheese on side)
    • Bosco Sticks

Since they have Garden Burgers on the menu, you might be able to order normal sandwiches and have them substitute the garden burger for the meat, although you may incur an additional cost. NOTE: The potato salad contains imitation bacon bits. We generally stick with the pasta salad to be safe.

Sunday buffet is not recommended due to the additional cost for seafood. You may consider asking them for simple substitutions if there are dishes you like that have a single removable meat item.  (i.e. asking for bean curd in place of chicken in a dish) Some Chinese Restaurants in town have done that; We have yet to see if Great Wall will do it.
