    Fruit lemonade
    Sue S.

    We ate dinner here with a vegan friend and were overall pretty pleased with our experience. Trio serves a plant-based menu but does a really good job of making food that will appeal to meat eaters too. The space itself is small but bright and vibrant with super cool lime green chairs at the tables and lots of awesome art on the wall. The woman behind the counter greeted us and told us to scan the code on the table to view the menu and then come up to the counter. A little wonky but ok. I had the cheeseburger which was totally good. Slightly too much mayo on it (and this coming from me... I love mayo). And the fries were really good but not hot enough. My husband got the chicken sandwich, which he said tasted good but was absolutely drowning in sauce. My friend got the trio sampler and seemed to enjoy it. Fruit lemonade was a nice treat and honestly not as sweet as most lemonades (this is a good thing). Onion rings were AWESOME. My only real complaint is that the food came from the kitchen not all at the same time and kind of in whatever order it came. So all three of us got our food at different times, which made it slightly awkward. That said, there wasn't a huge wait for anything so minor complaint. I would go back, which is the ultimate compliment coming from me for a vegan restaurant. The woman behind the counter also thanked us for coming in as we departed, which I appreciated as well.

    BBQ Jackfruit Fries (GF)

    The bbq jackfruit fries were delicious! Staff was very friendly and service was quick. I would recommend this place to anyone

    Burger Mac
    Suzy D.

    Listen. Get in here. We were visiting and staying in a different part of town and it was so worth traveling over. If you're anywhere near the twin cities, just go. We had the onion rings, cornbread and the burger Mac. You think you know what to expect with onion rings and cornbread and these were so much more. The seasonings in the breading of the rings plus homemade ranch and BBQ dipping sauces were amazing. I'm from KC and am so picky about BBQ sauce...and this was a great balance of spice and sweet. The cornbread is savory and also topped with sweet butter. The chili Mac was nostalgic and also something I had never experienced before, with the sweet and umami sauce and BBQ drizzle and salty pickles... We wanted to order more so we could try everything, but also probs best we didn't because the portions were so generous. We will just need to come back. Other pros: plenty of seating, kind folks, and overall chill vibes. Cons: Not in our home state.

    Vegan food search her in the St. Paul area provides lots of variety which is not a normal occurrence for me however due to some unexpected circumstances at work I have been here close to 10 days and I am checking out as many wonderful Vegan restaurants as I can Trio surprised me in a great way. The soul food is not lacking flavor or presentation The Mac n cheez with greens and corn bread was excellent Another visit is required to ensure I have another serving of this excellent dish! I also ordered the jackfruit BBQ burrito it was perfect. Not soggy and I ordered it grilled not fried. Trust me it was wonderful I had the large cookie. I was able to share and enjoy this cookie for multiple days Great food, you will not be disappointed

    I can't believe I have never eaten at this Vegan-soul food restaurant but I will definitely be back. So much food. So much deliciousness. The atmosphere and service are simple. Seat yourself, order at the counter. This does not detract from the experience. We started with cauliflower wings, which are available in several flavors. We went with the Buffalo style and were quite pleased. We sampled a variety of other menu items including collard greens and vegan Mac and Cheese. Each was delicious, but when combined together each dish complemented the others. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back!

    What a very cool concept when it comes to a restaurant. I had the walnut salad (being gluten free) and it was delicious. When you walk in they will seat you at a table. Look over the menu and order at the counter. Then they'll bring the food out to you. Try this adorable restaurant, you won't regret it.

    Collard Green, Cornbread, Mac & Cheese

    Food was excellent!!! Service as great. Definitely recommend sampling the all the sides, especially cauliflower, Mac n cheez and cornbread.

    Twin Cities Veg Fest Menu
    Sydney N.

    I tried Trio at the Twin Cities Veg Fest this year, and it was delicious! I went to Veg Fest with a vegan friend of mine, and she said she really likes Trio as a plant-based spot. After taking in all the food options at the festival, she went with Trio. We had an order of the Walnut Meat tacos, and I was a little skeptical. I personally prefer something like this over a soy-meat-alternative, but I had never heard of walnuts being sued before. I was pleasantly surprised and absolutely loved the taco - in fact I even forgot to take a picture. It was a small street-taco tortilla with beans, lettuce, pico and a cream-alternative sauce with the walnuts. I loved the crunch from the walnuts and the flavor surprisingly complimented the rest of the taco. I would definitely get this again from Trio!

    Soul food Platter Thang!
    Jamerson H.

    I usually don't leave reviews on Yelp unless the place was Smackin! Visiting Minneapolis from California, I didn't feel like roaming neighborhoods for good eats, but I found this gem on DoorDash. Cornbread was going crazy! They need to sell the premade mix. Mac and Cheeze got the job done. And the rib was full of flavor. I lowkey thought I was eating meat. It was jackfruit. I'm saving the greens as a midnight snack, and I'm saving the yams for breakfast. It was a lot of food. Great Job chefs!

    Chili Mac
    Xenia M.

    Trio serves up some great tasting plant based food options, and they are a black owned business! They make vegan food taste so good! I got the chili mac, which I thought was originally just chili, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw Mac and cheese at the bottom of the bowl! I enjoyed this a lot, and I also had a side of corn bread too. The cornbread is divine! I'm not sure what they put on it to make it sweet, but definitely give it a try. The food does take a while to come out. We were told 30 minutes for our order, so just expect to wait a bit, but the food is well worth it!

Very reasonably priced, especially considering that they pay their employees a fair wage and they don't expect tipping (when paying with credit card, you don't even get a receipt with a tip line to sign). If you're dining in, you wait to be seated but can get a drink if there's a wait. They also do a substantial amount of takeout and catering orders. Baby/Kid Friendliness: 4.5/5. They have changing tables in the bathrooms (unisex). They have high chairs available, including the kind with an attached tray, which is great for smaller/shorter babies who are too short in a regular high chair to reach the dining table. No kid's menu, but you can easily order a selection of add-ons and sides to piece together a meal your kid will like. It is generally pretty loud with chatter, so no need to worry if your kid is a little noisy or talkative. Smothered Chicken Plate with Mac and Cheese (4/5) - the sauces are what make this dish - the cream gravy the chicken is smothered in and the red sauce on the side. The chicken was tender. The Mac and cheese was creamy and not too cheesy, which I liked. Roasted Pork Bowl (5/5) - I generally love pulled pork, so I loved this pork. The pork was very flavorful. Good variety of textures, like the tenderness of the pork contrasting the crispy onion strings. Overall a lot of flavor and each bite can taste a little different due to all the things in it. Fried Fish Bowl (5/5) - fried catfish added good crunch to an otherwise soft textured dish. The yams were delicious and the apple based sauce on top gave it extra depth of flavor. The pickled hot peppers are great if you like spice, but easy to avoid if you don't. My only wish was that the fried catfish was thicker cuts of catfish (you do get two strips though!). Coconut-Vanilla Pudding (3/5) - this is a liquidy type of pudding. Light coconut and vanilla flavor, but more of the flavor came from the fresh pineapple it was topped with.

It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

Lovely flakey crust with a mild curry taste in the chicken filling. The Mandazi is something like a donut but not overly sweet, and aromatic with warming spices.
