Stopped by Trio for dinner with friends while we were in town for a conference, and I'm glad that we did! I was drawn to this spot because it's Black-owned and full of character--and it didn't disappoint. The space has a cool, local vibe that feels authentic and inviting. They also have local art hanging on all the walls, which customers can purchase if they like which adds to it's welcoming atmosphere. I'm not vegan, but I couldn't resist trying the mac and cheese since it's my favorite dish and I really enjoyed it! The owner himself was our server, and he was incredibly warm and welcoming. He took time to share the history of the restaurant, his aspirations, and his passion for its future, which made the experience even more special. He even took pictures with us before we left. The service was great, and my friends loved their food as well. I'd definitely return if I'm ever in the area. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu. Trio is a true neighborhood staple with great food, great vibes, and a lot of heart. If you're in town, make sure to check it out! read more

Veggie heaven! Omg the food is off the hook. I had the Southwest Roll and it was so full of flavor. Loved the fact that they grilled it after it was rolled. It was amazing taste and clearly very fresh ingredients. It was served with a side of fries that I could not even begin to finish. Love it! We'll be back. read more

What a unique place. The food was really enjoyable, and the passion the peeps who run this place have absolutely shows in the food. Friend and I both got burgers with Gouda and gf buns. The buns were a miss for me, they had a very pancake-y flavor and texture- but the rest of the burger was really enjoyable. The salad was the perfect size and refreshing. The fries were good, I decided I'm not a fav of the bbq sauce they used. But it's always exciting to try a vegan place, and I'm glad we went. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

We had the Southwest Roll, Mac n' Cheese, and Cauliflower Wings. The portions were way more generous than expected and we had to bring more than half home. Can't wait for lunch tomorrow. read more

I visited MN from Texas got this place delivered to my hotel and I was hurt to spend 50 dollars on this place. Very disappointed.

I was in the Twin Cities for a wedding and looking for somewhere to quickly pick up lunch, so I was very excited to see that Trio Plant Based was nearby. And, although it didn't seem like they had a ton of gluten-free options, it looked like I could order a burger, so I placed an online order. About ten minutes after I ordered, I received a call from the restaurant. They said they were out of gluten-free buns and asked if I wanted the burger on a regular bun instead. First of all, what kind of question is that? I obviously chose the gluten-free bun because I can't eat gluten. When I explained that to the employee on the phone, she seemed really surprised, but then said they could make it without the bun. As we already placed the order and were in a bit of a time crunch, I said that was fine. When I went to pick up the order, the woman who gave it to me was clearly the same woman I talked to on the phone, but there was no acknowledgement or apology that they were out of the gluten-free buns. She also didn't say anything about the $3 upcharge that I paid for the gluten-free bun--which is, by the way, ridiculous, because the burger was already $18. I figured it would still at least taste good, especially considered it's difficult to find food that is both vegan and gluten-free when I'm traveling. But, when I opened the container, what I found was a tiny Beyond Burger--half the size of the Beyond Burgers that you get at the grocery store, if not smaller--with some vegan cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce, two tiny slices of tomato, and a few pieces of onion on top. I thought there would be some kind of sauce on the burger, but there wasn't. I was hoping there would at least be local greens or tomatoes--something to justify the price of the burger--but it was just grocery store iceberg lettuce and tomatoes with no flavor. It was, needless to say, INCREDIBLY disappointing, especially for a total of $21 (including the upcharge for the gluten-free bun that I didn't receive). There were some fries on the side but they weren't crispy, didn't taste very good, and were way too salty. I just ate a few and then threw the rest away. I also got a side of their cheese sauce (another $3) because I love a housemade vegan cheese sauce and I thought it'd be good on the fries. It tasted sweet (which is never what I'm looking for in a vegan cheese sauce!) and not at all cheesy. I tasted it and then immediately threw it away. I always want to support vegan restaurants, but this experience was just awful. My dining companion got a falafel burger and he described it was a "black bean burger with some chickpeas in it" rather than actually tasting like falafel. Maybe we ordered the wrong items off the menu, but the gluten-free options were incredibly limited, and the service and prices left a lot to be desired. read more

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! read more

Had lunch at Trio on October 3rd and ordered the bbq Beyond burger. As a vegan, I really want this place to succeed. Unfortunately, the meal was very obviously reheated in a microwave. The pretzel bun was soggy, the fries were soggy. Tasted like week old leftovers. So incredibly disappointing. read more

Great vegan soul food. Closest taste to soul food you will get in Minnesota. People that work there are nice as well.

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! read more

Trio Plant-based - Soul food Platter Thang! - Vegan Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

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! read more

Great restaurants shouldn't set themselves up for bad reviews. Consideration (and proper preparation) is a requirement. I don't believe the owner has embedded this in his staff. For a restaurant that sells a lot of fried food and sandwiches, compostable containers should not be an option. It produces steam, making the food soggy before your first bite. If Trio doesn't want to remove the use of compostable containers, they should figure out an option to control the steam: place a piece of bread in the container to absorb the moisture, have containers with openings, the plastic bag shouldn't be tied up, place sauces on the side, etc.. There should be a solution to help your food ventilate. Otherwise you've spent $40 on food you do not like. It's not fair to the customer or the representation of the restaurant because I know Trio wasn't established to sell food with such messy outcome. There is a mother-daughter duo that works here. The mother, who typically wears glasses, has a nasty attitude. I noticed her attitude on the phone when I placed my order. When I got to the restaurant, I seen her giving the same attitude to another customer. One would think maybe she's having a rough day, but this isn't the first time I've experienced this with her. It's just who she is. It's very unfortunate to have this level of attitude around the food you are digesting and it just makes you feel unwanted. I really want to continue to support this black-owned restaurant. I'm from Los Angeles and every time I visit Minneapolis, I stop by here - but the thrill I once had is dimming. I hope soon Trio takes reasonable action to adjust these minor issues that have a crucial impact on their name. read more

First timer here! Ambiance was really cool and chill.. SERVICE: HEYYYYYY!!! Imma need folks to get it together, when someone comes in, greet them nicely, we literally could barely understand this woman! Can we PLEASE improve service folks!! Tried a few dishes: BBQ JACKFRUIT ROLL - WHEW! The flavors on this one were intense! I couldn't eat that much, I had to nibble! The Cajun fries weren't event hot, they were warm, but tasty. MAC ATTACK - This was a spicy Mac on top of a beyond burger. Tasty but I felt like I was eating too many carbs with a pretzel thick bun! Tasty though! TACO TRIO- with jackfruit was subpar. Also it was missing the 3 corn tortillas! I was so excited about this place as there is always lots of hype, but it didn't live up to it for me! Maybe I'll try it again at a later time! This was just "meh" for me.. read more

Great atmosphere, great food, and an overall great time. There are quite a few vegan options in the Twin Cities, but nothing else quite like Trio! I mean, even I was skeptical when hearing "vegan soul food." But Trio did not disappoint! Would highly recommend - vegan or not (I'm not vegan but a friend visiting was). While everything we had was good - I would definitely definitely recommend the onion rings. read more

Came here with my vegetarian friends because they said this place has been on their list for sometime but got pretty disappointed with both food and services. This burger on a paper plate was $17 and there's not much seasoning besides the impossible patty itself. They put up a sign saying they're short staffed like the rest of the world which is flat out virtual tunneling - the most insane part is , you have to order & pay at the counter AND they automatically charge a 20% service fee. Girl what service ? Feels bad to be morally hijacked and forced to pay. At lease only pick one read more

This place is overpriced for what it is. We ordered the $5 blueberry mint lemonade and it was just frozen blueberries in watered-down lemonade. The cornbread was dry and crumbly. The classic burger was good, but isn't worth the $15 price tag. They gave us no utensils and had no toilet paper or paper towels in the bathroom. They do such a good job with the sandwiches, it's disappointing that the rest of the experience is such a let down. read more

I had a Mac attack with Cajun fries. It was delicious. The service was good and friendly. I came in at a time when they weren't busy so it was really quiet. One of my companions had cauliflower wings. They were perfectly crispy. I had a couple and thought they tasted like fried shrimp. The strawberry mango lemonade was also delicious. It's a cute little restaurant that showcases local artists' paintings and drawings on the wall. read more

This is a super interesting place. First of all, I have to mention their music was seriously wonderful the entire visit, we were actually dancing in our seats and singing along the whole time. It's not the coziest ascetic, but it was clean. I love eating meatless now and again, and you don't often see or expect plant-based soul food so I had to go with the Soul Food platter. I got the House BBQ Jackfruit Riblets, Mac and Cheeze, and yams. I was a little thrown off by the BBQ "ribs". It wasn't a bad flavor, but it wasn't really what I was expecting texture wise. It reminded me of meatloaf or a McDonalds McRib in not the greatest way. The Mac and Cheeze was not the best vegan mac and cheese I've ever tried, but was fine. Finally, the yams were good, but SUPER sugary (I wasn't sure if they would be savory or sweet.) While I regret my ordering choice (especially as someone who still eats the real version of these imitations), my boyfriend LOVED his deep fried wrap. I tried it and loved it as well - would definitely order that instead next time. read more

Last night my friend Jack and I decided to check this place out. We had wanted to go here back in October for her birthday, but ended up going somewhere closer to her. Last night we had gotten there about 730. The restaurant closes at 9pm. So we thought plenty of time. There is street parking so be prepared to pay for that. When we entered it had a very modern and chic look to it. Clean and crisp décor, I personally liked it. The space wasn't packed and we were seated right away. The waitress came over with the menus and informed us that they were out of Chikken and Burgers. That pretty much took away half the menu, if not more. Which was a major bummer. We moved forward. I really wanted to try the Mac and Cheese, but the one I was eyeing had Chikken in it, and the runner up had Burger in it. I had asked if I could get just the kids mac and cheese it looked plain enough and she noted that I could get a side of mac and cheese. So I went with that. We ordered the Nachos, Onion Rings, Side of Mac and Cheese, and Jack went with the sampler. She ordered The Ribs, Mac and Cheese, and Coleslaw. After she took her first few bites, she noted that the coleslaw was delicious and it was more of a creamy coleslaw instead of a vinegar coleslaw, which I understood and appreciated the description difference. She really liked the ribs and how they looked very 'meaty'. I will tell you the Mac and Cheese was AMAZING. I have had Vegan Mac and Cheese before and this definitely blew it out of the water. I know the next time we come I am gonna pray they still have Chikken or Burger so I can get one of the entrée mac and cheese options. We started to order dessert, Jack got the Vanilla Cake with Strawberry to go, and I was going to order the Cookies, but as I started saying that the waitress noted they were out of the cookies. It didn't bother me, but it was a bummer. I know I will definitely be attending this restaurant again, if not to just for the food, but to support the healthier lifestyle, and the business I hope to see grow more and more. Thank you Trio for a delicious experience. read more

Trio Plant-based - Menu - Vegan Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I visited this place as it had been in my list of places to visit for about a year and a half. I am NOT a vegan or desiring to be one but I am very supportive in trying new food and eating healthy. My experience, from the entrance amazing greeting. The decor is so green, calming and artistic. I thought the artwork was absolutely beautiful. Love to see us on display. So I was a fan of that for sure. The food! Now again! I am NOT a vegan. So don't beet me! I had the Mac and cheez. I tried the jackfruit for the first time which was something I had been desiring to try for so long. Baybay! Lemme tell you! I love Mac and cheese and though this Mac and cheez was vegan it was alright. I tell you what! I ate it all. So that should speak volumes. Now would I eat it again....maybe NOT! BUT that is because I am not into the adjustments that vegan diet makes for some products. I then had the jackfruit roll with fries and a strawberry lemonade with mint. It was very impressive. To say I had never had jackfruit, I would definitely eat it again. Now the jackfruit was sauced in some bbq sauce that has a sweeter taste to it so forewarning to those who prefer a stronger base. The French fries were finely cut and delicious. Now it was slightly busy but not too bad. The woman who worked the front was doing a lot (she did not have help) and was swiftly navigating thru it all. While dining, there was a moment that the cook, chef, sous chef, owner (forgive me...I don't know ya title) came out to deliver a plate and honey I was impressed because I watch a lot. When he returned to the kitchen he washed his hands and then resumed cooking. That was the golden nugget there. Now...as I stated I watch. The only issue I experienced (that was not communicated) was the woman working the front (as mentioned was working a lot) prepared a drink with mint, Sis did not use gloves. Keep in mind as a front worker, she was wiping tables. She was touching menus others had touched and she was touching payment methods others had touched. So that was a bit unnerving, also at one point she repositioned the recycle bin or trash bin and then wiped off a table and within moments and never washing her hands touched a plate to deliver to a table. I would just suggest, I know you busy and I know the moving swiftly it can be easy to forget but some people watch and it impacts their possibilities of returning. Oh and lastly cause I had no idea MN does this so to any travelers, there is a 20% service charge. I know some places can charge varying percentages. This place charges the 20%. I do not know if there was a disclaimer for that information available at the time of dine in. read more

Delicious. Best hamburger I've had including ones from dead cows, but this was vegan.

Today, 7/26, my very 1st time eating at Trio Plant-Based restaurant. I have been following them for well over a year and finally made a special trip out to try them. The pictures of the food on IG will make your mouth water. Today, the service was fantastic. The food was not. The restaurant was not busy. Possibly 6-to-8 people dining. The jackfruit bbq rib arrived at our table tough and very burnt on the bottom. The collard greens were SALTY! I felt a sudden Woah feeling upon sampling them. The cornbread was delicious. The macaroni and cheese was decent. The yams were puckery sweet. The jackfruit bbq wrap was burnt on the flat side... Overall the food experience was terrible. Definitely not worth a second try. I was really hoping for an award winning experience. It's so unfortunate that Trio showed up unprepared and lacking the quality and standard it states in posts. The three stars are given for the awesome service and cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

My vegan roommate and I thoroughly enjoyed a take-out feast from Trio Plant-based the other night! I love soul food, and my roommate had not tried it before, so we decided to ball out and order the soul food platter with all six options as well as the BBQ jackfruit fries. The food was really great, especially the jackfruit fries, which we ate until we couldn't fit any more food in our bodies. I felt like the vegan versions of mac and cheese, yams, cornbread, and slaw were pretty on par with other non-vegan soul food that I have enjoyed. The collard greens, however, were AMAZING! I think that the most memorable part of our platter was the jackfruit ribs, which actually tasted like real ribs. I would highly recommend Trio Plant-based to any vegans looking to spice things up as well as any meat-lovers that are skeptical about finding genuinely flavorful plant-based meals! We loved supporting this small business! read more

So I really enjoyed the rib! The Mac and cheese was pretty nice too. The small bit of maple butter that was on there tasted good. I was excited and wanted to love this place, but I am a bit disappointed. From what I can tell from reviews, they've really knocked down on portions. I thought I'd be having two ribs, a nice serving of Mac n cheese and some cornbread that isn't charred black a bit (not that i mind much but) has more maple butter on it, and isn't touching the barbecue sauce. It's weird how pictures vs reality is. I'm really hoping i just caught them on an off day- i came on a Saturday an hour before closing so I'm sure they were tired. read more

Let me just say this, Trio is everything Minneapolis needed and more. As a Plant based Vegan things can be tough while dining out. I'm so happy I have a place that I can go and get some amazing food. Everything on the menu is TASTY, but my favorite I have to say is the Buffalo cauliflower Mac n cheese and for something sweet the giant chocolate chip cookie. Sill no indoor dining due to covid, so place your order in advance as they run about 20 mins to prepare. read more

Let's get straight to the point: The Nachos Supreme with sautéed chikken, oven roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, housemade Trio cheeze sauce, smashed avocado, tomatoes, black olives, corn, green onions, cilantro, fresh jalapeño and drizzled with housemade cashew sour cream for $13 Absolutely delicious! A MUST order! The sauces are so good, I'm so impressed by the sour cream and cheeze sauce. In a taste test against traditional dairy sauce, I don't think you'd be able to tell which is which. Actually - you maybe would because Trio's sauces are better. The only weird thing was our jalapeños were not spicy at all, which I don't mind because I'm not the biggest spice enthusiast but it was just disorienting haha. Other than the Nachos Supreme, I had the Smoky House Rib with BBQ Suace and some Strawberry Wisco-Pop! The rib was good but I probably wouldn't order it again, same with the Wisco-Pop! The service was fantastic and the restaurant itself was also well kept. I know that I'll be coming back here for the nachos and to try out more menu items! read more

Some things just cannot be put on the back burner. This review is one of those things. I was lucky enough, by chance, to be in town when I heard about this new vegan restaurant's grand opening. I arrived @ 5:20pm on Sunday night, 30Sep, the first night of the grand opening event, and the place was packed! (Always a good sign.) The hostess was very pleasant and organized. She took my name and number, put me on the waitlist, and I received a text once my table was ready. I ordered the Soul Food Platter and picked BBQ "ribs," collard greens, sweet potatoes, and cornbread with maple butter. BAAAAABY! When I say the food was fire, I mean hella! COLLARD GREENS were seasoned so good it makes you wonder why people ever put meat in non-vegan versions. I didn't even need the obligatory hot sauce! I will say that there were too many stems, but I thoroughly enjoyed these greens, nonetheless. SWEET POTATOES that would make your granny proud. Sweet, cinnamony & nutmegy. They were perfect. CORNBREAD complete with pieces of corn inside. This is one of my favorite cornbread recipes. I'm ordering 2 or 3 next time! BBQ RIBS - they were good (but not like, OMG great), and so tender that you could cut them with a fork. They come from The Herbivorous Butcher. I may or may not order them again. Of course Tiggy had to order not one, but two desserts. PEACH COBBLER - Hunty! It was so good, I 'bout threw my fork. They don't have vegan ice cream yet, but an a la mode version would set it off. Delicious! I'm too full to try the Vanilla cake with strawberry sauce, so I'll report back on that in the photos. They had other things on the menu, but I was drawn to the southern and soul food options, and they did NOT disappoint. Southern food done right, and cruelty free to top it off!! I'll be back! read more

You order at the counter and find a seat cafeteria style, but don't let that fool you. This place has a homey spirit that is just charming to the core. Local artists have their paintings on the wall for sale, staff greet you with a warmth that makes you feel like family... all around a cozy spot. And the food. Mm. This is vegan still food that knows its soul. Every time I eat here, the collards, the cornbread, the jackfruit bbq, the MAC... it all just reminds me so warmly of my grandma's kitchen... she was a neat eating farm girl raised in Kentucky, and this place gets that whole plate RIGHT while keeping it all vegan. Stop. By if you want a plate of southern- grounded soul. Vegan or otherwise, you will not be disappointed. read more
