I have been stalking this place for so long! I normally go to the sister restaurant, Diego, but finally decided to venture into Frida's. The place is so nice in the inside. Very comfortable semi casual ambience. It seems it could transition from casual to dressy in the evening time, so you could feel comfortable stopping in after a day of shopping on a Saturday, like I did. I was immediately greeted by the hostess and found my way to the bar. The bartender was awesome, and very skilled with drink making. He made this old-fashioned that was mixed so well, I almost guzzled it down. And the food was amazing. I actually tried a special that was off menu... Striped bass over mashed potatoes with grilled asparagus. The food was amazing! The fish was cooked to perfection and I normally don't like Bass seared but for some reason this one was so good. The whole plate was super flavorful. I ended the meal with the banana foster ice cream and it was great. I plan to come back and try the lunch menu soon. read more

Disclaimer: I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, it's also not the first time I've eaten anything vegetarian or vegan, but you can take my review with a grain of salt. The staff was super nice. Made sure our glasses of mango strawberry infused water were full. I'm not sure why they don't serve ice, but I'll inquire next time. I love ice cold drinks. I had a refreshing hibiscus marg, with ice. The paper straws were cute and festive. Our springs rolls came with a delightful dipping sauce. I was just pouring it right into the roll. For my entree I ordered the BBQ Beyond Burger. It was There was nothing BBQ about it. The scant bit of sauce was bright red like ketchup and I guess it tasted more like ketchup. It definitely wasn't a smokey bourbon BBQ sauce. It was topped with regular LTOP and cheese. It awww was ok. The patty was dry. The side of slaw was ok. It didn't have much flavor and the cabbage is too thick. I know that sounds silly, but finely shredded cabbage is more palatable. A simple green side salad would be nice instead. I know this has a real Debbie Downer vibe, but I still rated it 4 stars. I'd go back with my veggie friend, probably for appetizers and a cocktail. Or just buck up the $4 for fries. read more

Yummy! Went here for lunch just the other day and was happily surprised by the amazing food and menu. Ordered the incredible burger, which was delicious and tasted almost like a regular burger. The bun on this burger was toasted to perfection and the cheese was melted well! I subbed the side item for the skinny fries for an additional fee, but the was def worth it. Fries came with a side of housemate ketchup, which was delicious! Also began my meal with a pineapple jalapeño margarita, which was also delicious. Will def return again!!!! read more

I had the best cocktail here. The Bonito was so good. Overproof rum, tropical fruits. It was so delicious! The restaurant decor is stunning. I really like the deep jewel tones, the gold ceiling and the tiny birds! Wow! The food was good. My mate got a pasta with shrimp. It was very good. I got the taco and it was good. It needed seasoning and the lettuce, it was brownish probably was chopped the day before. The salsa had no heat. I would have like one with a bit of jalapeño. The menu said it came with cabbage slaw but it was missing. We ordered the bread as an appetizer (yes you have to pay for bread). It was such a disappointment. Very dry. It was I would say a couple of days old. I couldn't eat it. It was 7$ which is a lot for a small loaf of really dry bread. Menu said it's locally sourced but the server didn't know from where. Next time I'll try something different. The menu has a lot to choose from and they now offer fish. Diego is right next door and I'll try that next time. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while due to the variety of vegetarian options. The spring rolls were good, not great. I would prefer a peanut dipping sauce. The margarita was great. I loved the extreme lime taste it had. I wanted to have the Skinny Pizza but they were out of the cauliflower crust. Our waiter didn't know that when I ordered and had to come back later to tell me they couldn't make it unless I wanted it with gluten free crust and that would be an additional $8. I ordered the Mediterranean Flatbread. It took forever for it come out. At least 10 mins after my boyfriend got his entree. The flatbread was very tasty, no complaints. I like the flavor of my boyfriends pasta too. The decor is very nice. We sat inside but the big doors that open to the outdoor seating were open so it felt like we were outside too. The service was the worst part of the experience but I want to return and try more food, drinks. read more

Frida's was my personal food angel from vegan heaven in my current contactless delivery takeout spree. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but eating cuisine of the like makes me feel better about myself when I'm too lazy to cook and too out-of-funds to order anything but greasy $5 pizza and cheap burgers and fries. Did I still order burgers and fries? Yes. But it was a black bean burger with "skinny fries" and brussel sprouts as a decorative side for a little extra greenery on my plate. The luxury of being able to order two versions of a burger and fries at a vegan restaurant is not lost on me, and for that: thank you Frida's. The black bean burger had a great flavor with all the ingredients I love: avocado, onions, cajun aoli, cheddar cheese (dairy free), and bread, brioche style. The patty could have been more compact - my handheld became a fork-and-knife endeavor-but still, loved it. The fries I won't speak on because they were cold, charred, and not only skinny, but incredibly short. Thankfully, where a crispy, flavorful fry should have been, a roasted brussel sprout was. Who knew they served a greater purpose than a greenwashed culinary decoration? They do that and so much more at Frida's, and for that reason, I will make it a priority to visit in person next time. read more

When you walk in, it's super cute! The decor and plants were adorable and the room we ate in was so bright and happy. The bar area is gorgeous and there were so many awesome little pieces that made the space pop. Service was quick, but I never felt rushed. My water never went empty and by the time I was really REALLY hungry... I was biting into a burger that fit my dietary needs. It's the perfect spot for vegan and vegetarian. However, I think anyone would enjoy this space! I'm definitely going to be back. read more

I went to Frida's for the first time with a friend recently for lunch. They have a lovely patio area that we enjoyed a nice outdoor meal. When we were seated we were started with a fruit infused water while looking through their menu via QR code. The menu had so many delicious sounding options that it took me a long time to decide. I ordered a Paloma to start (when they dropped it off they said hibiscus margarita) regardless of what it was it was fresh and delicious! For my meal I got the Beyond burger with the air fried fry upgrade. I ate the whole thing it was so good. You definitely quickly forget you're at a vegetarian restaurant if you're a meat eater like me. It is pretty pricey but their food is fresh and the meat substitute options abundant so I didn't mind. read more

Came here for a casual Friday dinner with some friends. Outdoor seating was very well-set up and safe. I was super excited to try a new vegan place, but, unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations. Here's what I got: Bread to split as an appetizer: Just ok. The portion was really small. The sauce was the best part. Kale salad: Small portion, very simple, nothing special. Zucchini noodles: Also just okay. Tasty creamy dressing. read more

Just had dinner at Frida's STL and it was FANTASTIC!

AMAZING! CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! The server and supporting staff were attentive and our drink glasses were never empty. Already planning my next visit and working my way through the menu! The restaurant is beautiful and elegant and just want to go back and "hang at the bar" with friends. read more

Cons: Staff can't see seated customers when they seat themselves or friends join there party. I had to wait 10 minutes to be greeted outside on the patio. The social distancing thing kinda spoiled our meal because we had just ordered and gotten our food when the server tells us we have 25 minutes to eat and move because they needed our 4-table top to create a table top for 6 at the 4-table top next to us. Hmmm... Pros: Good food. Healthy Mediterranean diet, fibroid detox restaurant. Utensils and dishes are green Bambu Sustainable Disposable Single use I had a double patty Black Bean burger, no bun (I didn't want added sugar foods) with vegan cheese, vegan dip, extra avocado and a kale salad. The cheesy was so smooth and tasty. I don't like hot spicy foods (jalepenos) are hidden underneath the cheese. BEWARE!! I'll definitely try some other dishes on the menu...it appears they are expanding the restaurant. read more

I've had mixed experiences at Fridas. I love their many meatless dishes but I recommend you order carefully as some dishes are more substantial than others. For example, I ordered the Mushroom Ruben sandwich today and it was basically a sauerkraut sandwich. There were essentially no mushrooms or sauce of any kind. I support Fridas-just choose your meal wisely. read more

Creative, beautiful, Vegetarian Perhaps it was the company I was with, but My recent visit to Frida's was perfect. It was close to 12:30, so a waIt was expected, there wasn't one. We were seated at a table on the inside room. Shelby was our server. We started with wonderfully infused water, ordered soup and shared the beef and bean burrito. I wanted to try the "impossible beef" and it was included in this recipe. The soup had a great hearty flavor. And the impossible beef did not disappoint. From start to finish, our experience was lovely. We left filling full and very satisfied. As I am not a vegetarian, but do enjoy meatless meals, this will become a regular staple in my restaurant visits. Put it on your must visit list. read more

We enjoyed our dinner here on NYE! They had a prix fixe menu with 4 courses. We enjoyed the bruschetta and beet salad as appetizers. We had shrimp pasta, vegetable pasta, and halibut for our entrees- the shrimp pasta was our favorite of the 3! The halibut was well seasoned, but it was a little dry unfortunately. For dessert we did the chocolate cake and the bananas foster- both were delicious! Overall the atmosphere of the restaurant was fun but also classy and relaxed. Our service was great as well! Overall a great place for a date night or gathering with friends. read more

I'll start with the fact the food was eatable and overall tasted fine because that is the last nice thing I will say about the experience. To start, I attempted to order for my wife a mocktail because she is pregnant. I was chastised by the waitress for what was implied misogyny, for "ordering for my wife" (she loves margaritas, and has requested over the last several weeks for me to make virgin margaritas). Now comes the food. Apparently this is a vegetarianish restaurant, and this is not lost on avocado being included in every single dish. We ordered the spring rolls, the rolls were so bland but there was a sauce that accomandied the dish. The sauce was the only source of flavor but was illfully prepared. The lemongrass in the sauce was grainy and husky, which was absolutely shocking for anyone who has worked with the herb and especially for a "good" restaurant. We ordered the brussels sprout salad, I am not kidding when I say there was max half a brussel sprout in the entire salad. The salad was underwhelming regardless. Now comes the mushroom reuben. The seasoning was something out of a meme about white people underseasoning food, and in traditional reuben fashion it had lots of avocado /s. Net net, the food was surprising for a restaurant in well regard. There was an note card at the front desk asking guests to refer the chef to the local newspaper cooking awards, absolutely laughable. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! Though our regular waitress, Jacqueline wasn't there, Lea was stellar . Personable and delightful. The atmosphere was perfection and THE FOOD...wow! Our salmon is ALWAYS perfect! Quite literally everyone at this restaurant is a joy and it feels like home read more

The food was good! But wow the prices! By the time they up charged for vegan cheese, gluten free bun and getting fries instead of the salad...pricey!!!yikes!! Will I go back you ask? Maybe but it will be rarely because of the price and instead of salad I will just add fries and leave the cheese off and drink water instead of a drink. The impossible burger is worth another visit. I asked for my gluten free bun to be toasted because most all gluten free bread is not good unless it's toasted or grill. Sadly it wasn't and I told the waitress, but she did nothing to correct this kitchen mistake. That didn't help the price point issues any either. At the very least I should not have been up charged for the dried out bun. read more

Frida's - Gluten free bun with impossible burger and vegan cheese. Skinny fries. - Vegetarian Near Me - University City, Missouri

This was a first for me. That's impressive with as much as I eat out traveling for work. My order came out wrong. As soon as it hit my table I questioned if it was the right sandwich, the special "green grilled cheese" described to me said nothing about tomatoes or spinach and they seemed to be the only ingredients there. So I questioned again (after flagging down my waitress who dismissed my question and walked away the first time), pointing out the advertised avocado and white cheddar was not present. Here's the real kicker. Instead of remaking my "green" (but mainly red) GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH they brought me ONE of the missing ingredients, cold and on its own plate. Huh. Ok. The skinny fries would have been better, I assume, had they been warm. Mine were well past room temperature. I was crushed. I WANTED to love this place. Vegan, gluten and oil free options and extremely allergy aware, a unicorn in my life. This should have been a 3 star review. My drink, the atmosphere and vegan (absent of refined sugars) avocado mousse dessert was DELICIOUS. But I could not get past the lack of care or concern to my CLEAR dissatisfaction with my entree. If I end up back in the area I may give them another shot. My recommendation to you is ask questions about undisclosed ingredients before committing to something of you are picky or have food allergies (my dessert had undisclosed coconut on it). read more

Quaint little place with excellent food and ambiance. Had the tacos and they were great.

Having converted to a whole-food plant-based lifestyle, there just aren't many options for eating out. It's hard enough finding vegetarian and vegan food, but when I do, it is usually unhealthy, fried and oily options. When looking for a Sunday brunch, Sarah S. and I found Frida's and decided to give it a go. I hadn't realized it was a Brunch Buffet, but when I arrived, the friendly staff promptly seated me and reviewed the details of the $20 brunch buffet. It was loaded with healthy vegan and vegetarian selections and everything was labeled to indicate gluten free, oil free, contains nuts or dairy, etc. Offerings included a tofu salad, kale salad, arugula salad, strawberry & blueberry salad, "no-tuna" salad, a taco/nacho bar with beans, salsas and toppings, 2 kinds of pancakes, potatoes, vegetable coconut curry, rice, vegan meat balls, biscuits, bagels and probably several other things that I can't recall. Everything I tried was delicious, but especially the no-tuna salad that was made with chickpeas, and also the vegetable curry. I think I've found my new favorite brunch, and I can walk away feeling great about it! read more

I've been looking forward to trying this place for some time- it's less than a mile away for us and has lots of healthy food options. I ordered online for delivery- their signature frida burger with cheese and an 8oz container of their chickpea tuna. Everything was fresh and packaged well. Unfortunately I got their smoked potato salad instead of chickpea tuna. The flavor in the salad was really good but the red potatoes were so undercooked I couldn't eat it. I've had el dente red potato salads before but these potatoes had a very hard texture I did not like. The frida burger had a unique taste that I couldn't figure out. The real cheese didn't stand out- was taken over by other flavors so don't bother adding it. The roll was pretty good and everything was fresh but this veggie burger really didn't work for me. The slaw on the burger was supposed be a tahini-chipotle slaw. Very heavy on the tahini, very lite on the chipotle flavor. The highlight of the meal was the cabbage slaw that came on the side with a nice vinaigrette and red peppers. I was attempting to hunt down a great veggie burger but I didn't find one that worked for me. They have a lot of other options like tacos and wraps. Between the wrong order and the food being just okay at best I'll settle on three stars. read more

Quality vegan, vegetarian and gluten free meals. Locally sourced foods both sugar and butter free. And, no meat. Nothing that previously snorted, oinked, or mooed. But, wait! Although it's a little outside of my realm of enjoying real butter and some grass fed, hormone free, happy meats, my meal was delicious! Frida's is a gem in the locavore dining landscape. The taco included an amazing brown rice shell with sunflower meat filling, romaine lettuce, cheddar jack, mushrooms, red onion, scallions, avocado, and tomato. Gluten free AND dee-lish! The kale salad with tangy house made dressing included sprouted sunflower seeds, tomatoes, scallions, avocado and nutritional yeast. I have no idea what nutritional yeast tastes like but this salad was fantastic. This cozy and quietly upscale little restaurant with marble table tops, a sleek, bright, modern look, and charming bud vase centerpieces, feels like a super cool cat, which is, incidentally, where the owners found the restaurant's name...their cat, Frida. read more

Don't you hate sharing a disappointing meal with a friend at a restaurant which you just recommended as one of your favorites? When we arrived at Frida's around 7 p.m. last night, it was busy, but not terribly so. There were several open tables. We were seated immediately and given menus, but it must have been five minutes before our order was taken, and then another 10 before they arrived. We each ordered the Arnold Palminator - an Arnold Palmer with ginger. It tasted more like ginger with an Arnold Palmer. Way, way too strong, in our opinion. It got better as I stirred it, but I still forced myself to finish it. My sinuses are cleared now. The infused water of the day was cucumber pineapple and it was the most tasteless infused water I've had there. The weather was both warm and humid last night and the water, which was served without ice, quickly warmed up to room temperature. I asked for ice and she brought us a cup of crushed ice to split, but grabbed our glasses to refill our waters, leaving only about an inch and a half for us to gently splash the ice in. My big cup of soup came with the meal - I wasn't asked if I wanted it earlier. It was an Italian white bean/mushroom/kale/etc. soup and it was rather flavorless. I didn't finish it. My Frida Freedom burger was delicious as usual. I asked them to hold the pickles and for white cheddar instead of regular cheddar. I was charged an extra 50 cents for that. Wish that would have been subbed for free. My friend had the grilled cheese which I believe came with kale and of which she only ate half. She said it was one of the more disappointed grilled cheeses she's ever had, and she's had a lot, but then she isn't into healthy eating, and I didn't have it myself, so maybe it's not bad. I am still a fan of Frida's, but I hope my next experience will be better and I will update this review when I return. read more

Been wanting to try this (and their sister place Diegos) as they opened in the pandemic! Decour is amazing and the spot and parking are near the U City Loop. Our server Jackson was a great guy whom was enthusiastic and helpful with sharing his opinion and our orders. I had only ever previously been to two full veggie/herbivore places so my experience and knowledge are limited. We had the adult pizza rolls, and the red pepper spring rolls as appetizers, both were good and the sauce for the spring rolls was really nice. Adult pizza rolls were a bit to much breading but not bad We decided on frita's mushroom burgers. The burgers arrived and I noted the following: Burger patty was crumbling and broke up so it was more of veggie chunks and it was quite messy. I expected more mushrooms but overall the taste was pretty good! The problem was the bread (cibata i believe) was very hard on the bottom and didn't contain the patty. Still not to bad. Finally the fries. I love potatoes so this was a big disappointment, no seasoning and fried to long so very hard and they looked hand made. I hope they can get quality under control Final statement is again the pricing (similar to Diego's cantina next door). 14 dollars for a burger and fries is quite high for St Louis and with the quality, messiness and overall lack of seasoning not a good option as the U City Loop has lots of places 1/2 mile away that are much less expensive yet still as good (not Veggies only though!, so cant say that enough). Again I hope they review their pricing and work to have it aligned with the quality of their food as i want them to succeed. I plan to return some day, as i think all places deserve a few chances before final judgement! read more
