Phenomenal food with an even better owner!!! The Mac and cheese was BOMB and the lemonade is a MUST have! You immediately feel loved when you walk in. Louis thanks for hosting us! read more

Wonderful casual plant based restaurant! When you eat food that makes you feel happy and good on the inside, you know you have found a great place to eat! The chili cheese fries were soo good. Also got the falafel burger, ribs, Mac and cheese and corn bread. Will definitely keep coming back! read more

I picked this place for some comfort food on my (quarantine) birthday. While I wish we could have dined in (because the atmosphere inside is lovely), the food did not disappoint! The BBQ Burger on the pretzel bun nearly brought me to tears with its perfection. The "cheese" with the house-made BBQ sauce and the onion ring on top are a trio made in heaven. I'd highly recommend the Cajun fries to go with it. Mmmmmmmm... read more

Read all the one star reviews before you go here. Trio lives up to their 1. Be warned they won't give refunds. I called in my order an hour before I arrived and I waited another half hour when I got and got my order and was handed cold Soggy food that sat on the counter for all that time while the attendant wouldn't even acknowledge my presence, they refused a refund. read more

Another amazing vegan restaurant in the twin cities! I got the Soul Food Platter with ribs, mac and cheese, and cornbread (cornbread was to die for). My mom got "spaghettrios" (spaghetti-o's) and they were also delicious! The perfect amount of food, perfect price, and overall amazing experience. I can't wait to go back! read more

Love this place and their food is really good but whoever packs the delivery are messing up our orders consistently. I always order the soul food platters where you choose 4 or 5 items and 8/10 times they always put the wrong item in. I just ordered a platter today and instead of yams they put in ribs. If there's an issue where they ran out of yams and they automatically just swapped the item for something else make a note and I would at least understand but not sure if that's even the case. This has happened many times before and I've never left a review about it but Trio really needs to work on getting the orders correct and double checking. I work at a restaurant and I've done back to back to go orders on the phone, and juggling DoorDash, Grubhub and Ubereats delivery all at the same time and we double check our orders and check each item off before we send them out. Of course making mistakes on orders happen but we don't make a habit out of it and that's where I see Trio is messing up right now. read more

Trio Plant-based - Cornbread, Mac and cheese, collard greens and ribs. I actually ordered the yams but got ribs instead. - Vegan Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Tried Trio early on a Wednesday night. Not crowded. My one complaint would be that the space is very echoey and all hard surfaces, so I felt like I had to speak at a near-whisper to not be obnoxious. I had the soul food platter with cornbread, mac and cheese, collards, and ribs. The ribs were a little salty for my taste but good with a nice texture. The mac and cheese was well-made with a subtle taste--I maybe would have liked it better with a little hot sauce, but for restaurant vegan cheese it tasted really good. Cornbread with maple butter was also really tasty, but if I got the platter again it would probably be the thing I would not reorder (4 things ended up being a pretty big dinner, 3 would have been just right.) The collard greens were very good, better than I've had at probably any restaurant in Minneapolis (and especially good after recently having the sickeningly sweet greens at Revival.) They are a little spicy, so if you're heat-sensitive they might not be your favorite. The greens were cooked right (not crunchy but not mushy) with lots of well-seasoned pot liquor. For dessert I had the vanilla cake with strawberries. It was a little expensive, but definitely a big enough portion to share--at half the price and size it would be perfect, so if you and your dining partner can agree on dessert I would recommend splitting one. Overall, Trio surpasses expectations for vegan food in Minneapolis. My omnivorous friend liked her dinner (she had the same as I did, without the ribs) as well and she rarely goes for vegan food, so it should be a good choice for mixed groups. Lots of things on the menu look kid- and picky-eater friendly (I'm tempted by their take on Spaghetti-O's) while balancing comfort food with lots of healthy/light options. read more

Great food. The soul food platter was great; I got the cornbread, ribs, and Mac and cheese. Parking is paid parking which kinda sucked but it wasn't too pricey. I love supporting local businesses; the only thing I would say is that the menu is pretty expensive for what the food is, but regardless I would visit again. read more

How pleasantly surprised was I to find this gem in South Minneapolis! My friend and I partook in an early dinner on a Friday. Trio is a smaller restaurant with about 20 tables or so. We were seated quickly and didn't have to wait long for our food. I must admit that I wanted to try EVERYTHING on the menu! Burgers, sandwiches, desserts, nachos, and so much more! Yayyyy for vegan options!!! I went with the Soul food platter to try a variety of things. I chose the BBQ ribs, macaroni and cheese, greens, and cornbread. The greens appeared a bit salty but everything else was very tasty. My friend also had the soul food sample platter and enjoyed her choices. I really enjoyed the cornbread! I had to pass on dessert as I was too full after my meal. Although, the peach cobbler was very tempting.... I will keep that in mind for next time. read more

Fantastic food and great people. The wings with BBQ, mac & cheeze, and cornbread absolutely slapped. Their house-made ranch is a must try. It gets busy quickly, so be prepared for a bit of a wait or plan ahead. read more

6:15pm reservations were promptly attended, but even on a slow night it took nearly 2 hours to have a simple dinner and piece of cake. Do not bring your children here unless they can sit quietly for 2 hours. Even with the 'managers discount' offered due to slow service and meal errors, cost was as pictured. Skip the restaurant and just go to herbavorious butcher. read more

This place is amazing. We had a wonderful waitress, and unfortunately I can't remember her name. My friends and I decided to order several dinner meals and split them between us. We got a soul food platter with two pieces of cornbread, macaroni, and ribs. We also got a bowl of spaghettios and lasagna. For dessert we had the peach cobbler and strawberry shortcake. Our food arrived quickly and had amazing flavor. My favorite top three favorite food items are the cornbread, spaghettios, and the strawberry shortcake. Everything was delicious but those items stood out to me. I'd highly recommend this restaurant and will be going back. read more

Yuck. Me and my family went to this restaurant seeing that the reviews were good, we ordered nachos, Cala flour chicken, and soul food plater. When I tell you the chips of the nachos were hard and when we told the cook he suggested some other dish instead of making us a fresh batch. The greens taste like they were cooked in vinegar, the tables and chairs are dirty and unsanitary. Wish I had pictures.. read more

We were stuck at the airport due to a delayed flight and ended up staying the night. We were so happy to find Trio and ordered delivery to the hotel. They are very allergen conscious, which made it SO easy to select from their menu. Only wish we lived in the area so we could try more of their dishes. Thank you! Food was delicious. read more

Wow, Trio is excellent. I love it but have a few suggestions to make me love it even more: I have a soy allergy and most of the menu items contain soy (can you believe it!?!). Fewer soy products please! Why use soy at all in this day and age unless your making asian dishes? Toast the grilled cheese more Bake the cobbler crust BEFORE adding the peaches. Cobbler crust needs to be crusty not soggy. Incredible collards and sides! read more

GET THE SOUL FOOD PLATTER!!! The greens are SO flavorful and I was pleasantly delighted when the bowl would not end, as it was deep. I wanted to keep eating the greens until I'd die! Especially building a bite with the greens plus the mac and cheeze... That's the money bite! The mac and cheeze has such a creamy texture and is incredibly savory, like an aged cheddar. Impressive! The ribs are sourced from America's first vegan butcher shop, Minneapolis' own The Herbivorous Butcher. But the tangy, smoky, appley BBQ is all Trio. Together, these tender bites melt in your mouth. I should've got two! And that maple butter cornbread was EXCELLENT! It provided a nice bit of sweet to balance all that savory and playful acidity. And as if I needed more --my belt said no but heart said YES!-- I took the full tour and topped it all of with some Harriet's Escape vegan peach cobbler. The crust is everything and just the perfect amount of sweetness. And if it weren't for a giant cup of delicious coffee I might've just slept there, in heavenly bliss. read more

I've heard really great things about Trio and was excited to try it today. Unfortunately, there were a couple of things that weren't up to par for us. I showed up at the time they told me to and I ended up waiting for about 30-40 minutes which was understandable I guess because they were busy. Upon getting home, I noticed that they didn't give us the Cajun fries that we paid for and the majority of our dishes were cold. To top it off we found hair in the Mac burger. I called and fortunately they were able to give me a partial refund. I did like the nachos though! read more

Trio Plant-based - One of the hairs in our Mac burger :( - Vegan Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I wanted to go out to eat somewhere for my birthday with my vegetarian family. My father had eaten here before and boasted about the plant-based variety. When we arrived, there was no seating but it seemed like people were finishing up so we decided to wait for a table. After 20 minutes, we were seated. We had already decided what we wanted to order after studying the menu, but after being seated and giving us menus, the wait staff was nowhere to be found for THIRTY MINUTES. We hadn't even asked for beverages. Someone finally came to help us and we ordered 4 entrees and an appetizer and two non-water beverages. When they brought the two cans of La Croix they failed to bring water. They had served water to nearby tables still looking at their menus. We had to specifically disturb a waiter and ask him to bring us waters. When the appetizer finally arrived 30 minutes later, it was not hot and missing the addition of guacamole that was requested. On the bright side, the Nachos were tasty as heck, the chips crisp and the cashew queso was very good. Another 30 minutes later, the entrees came out. The entrees were hot. My bbq jackfruit wrap was better than I anticipated. The flavor was on point and the texture of the jackfruit was excellent. The sweet potato fries were crisp and not overly salted. TL, DR; The service was exceptionally awful. It took a very long time to receive the food we ordered. The food was not the exact way we ordered. The food was great. read more

I visited this lovely place for take-out on my walking adventure today. Before I planned my visit, I searched HappyCow for vegan places and I knew I wanted to try the food here. It's definitely one of the best decisions I could've made. I ordered the BBQ Jackfruit fries and they were incredible. I also had the cornbread with maple butter. That too was melt in your mouth gooood (so many o's). I happily ate what little I could from such a massive portion. Seriously, those fries could easily be split between a couple people. As I was walking and didn't want to carry food with me or have it leak in my backpack, I gave the rest to a hungry houseless person. I'm sure they liked it as much as I did. read more

Wonderful first visit to a newly opened restaurant. Our favorite was the lettuce wraps with the soul food platter a close second. A quaint venue with nice natural lighting and intimate feel. Would certainly return. read more

A new all plant based restaurant in my neighborhood - whoohooo :) This place is brand new - right next to Its Greek to me in Uptown. We went on a Sunday night so there was ample street parking available. The interiors have been done well, a great place to take a quick bite or hang out with friends. The restaurant is not big but the seating is well spread out. You wouldn't feel like you are over hearing the person in the next table :P. We ordered the Ham and Cheeze Sandwich which has ham from Herbivorous butcher ( thats why I ordered it) and the Soul Food platter with the ribs, corn bread and trio macaroni and cheeze. The food came out very quickly, everything tasted great except the macaroni. It was cold and bland, would skip next time. Our favorite was the ribs with bbq sauce. Again this came from Herbivorous Butcher, so that could also be why it tasted so good! If you have a decent appetite you may want to order a side of the soup with the sandwich, just the sandwich seemed a little less for my hunger pangs. The staff are wonderful and keep coming back to check on you. I would go back once they have a bigger menu and also to try their desserts. read more

Finally got a chance to stop in - and HOLY SH*T. This place lived up to its reviews and then some! I ordered the mac n cheese burger on a pretzel bun - effing A it was so AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Vegan ranch and buffalo sauce on it too. I opted for fries - of course because, why not. I wish they were a little bit thicker, as they were kind of the shoe string vibe. Taste was still on point. The appetizer we chose were the chili cheese fries and they were awesome, but a small portion for $14.00 so that was a let down. I expected it to be a bit more filling and larger for that price point. My non-vegan husband got the OG cheezeburger and he loved it. I love the vibe here, but don't expect to spend under 40 bucks, it's pretty pricey, but I'm assuming the costs are higher back in the kitchen for the vegan burgers/supplies. Hopefully the prices will drop a bit in the future. That's my only reason for 4/5 and not 5/5. Also when I first walked in we stood there for a while, not knowing if we should seat ourselves or wait. I ended up asking another table what protocal was and then waited for a staff member to seat us after standing for 5+ min. Def worth the wait, great food good people all vegan menu HELL yeah! Thanks! read more

A super cute, super delicious vegan place! My mom and I split the nacho fries, and the portions were so big we couldn't even finish those! They were delicious, though! She got the fiesta burger and Cajun fries, and both were fantastic! I got the burger Mac & cheese, and it was very good! I definitely want to come back here! read more

Solidarity with Unicorn Riot from Washington State. We see you. Defy the cops, eat vegan food.

I was so excited to find an all vegan restaurant option, that I went a little overboard.... What I had: Organic Lemonade (drink this!!!) The Soul Platter Combo feat. BBQ "ribs", mashed sweet potatoes, and cornbread. Peach Cobbler ... told you I went overboard. Big winner of the night was the peach cobbler. Absolutely amazed that it tasted as good as my grandmother's without any dairy products. The rest of the meal was enjoyable, but next time I'll opt for something other than ribs. Though good, they weren't as impressive nor as mouth-watering as the other components of the meal. The menu for the Grand Opening is limited, but does a wonderful job of conveying that plant-based doesn't mean flavor was sacrificed in the making. (Read: feel free to bring friends of all dietary persuasions here for a meal). I'm excited to see what the team pulls together for lunch and breakfast options! read more

I am new to the area and a vegetarian, so I thought I would try and ordered take out. I love the about us section of thief site and respect the honesty. The vegan cauliflower barbecue wrap was amazingly flavorful & filling. I got the fries and It came with a vegan creamy sauce which I poured a little each bite. I will definitely return and look forward to expanding my palate with their creativity! read more

THE FOOD IS SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD! While I'm a vegetarian, I'm a Midwestern vegetarian and I love my cheese and all the dairy goodness. I did not miss it at all and I had the nachos AND the mac & cheese. I'm a super picky eater too, don't even like most vegan stuff much less vegan meats and those BBQ ribs were amazing! The corn bread was really good too and I'm a super corn bread snob. Mmmmm I ordered some to take home it was so good. All folks, even meat eaters should definitely eat here. My 2 year-old friend ate food faster and more completely then I've seen here eat even ice-cream. Trio is delicious!!! read more

I had the Mac attack burger and salad through take out. It was really great (I'm not even vegetarian). Hit the spot. I'll order from here again. read more

Hands-down the best vegan food in Minneapolis. The macaroni and cheese is amazing the ribs are perfectly cooked everything is amazing.

I'm not on a plant-based diet but my cousin is, so we've been trying all of the places in town. This place is one of our favorites! The cornbread will change your life, I swear. The buffalo cauliflower is delicious as well. We really appreciated the variety of foods on the menu as well. read more

Terrible experience. Waited 20 minutes to have our orders taken and nearly an hour for food. Not long into our stay a food critic came in and was given what looked like every dish on the menu in no time flat. There was no silverware, we never got water refilled, and were never told by the server where our food was. We could see our waitress in the kitchen on her phone, after asking about our food. Toward the middle of our wait I got up and asked someone to request a percent taken off our bill for the terrible experience, they took off $0.10. I would highly recommend going anywhere but here! The food is not worth the wait and the service is dreadful. read more

Twenty minutes after ordering we were informed that the soup was unavailable. No iced tea? $14 for a burger with no side? Pass.

Mediocre at best. The buffalo wings and Mac were good, nachos not worth the price. The service here is rough. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day but waited at least 25 minutes before we were greeted at our table and were able to order food. About 30 minutes after ordering the food came. Had to ask for waters and silverware at that time. The servers don't seem to have a system down and seems quite disorganized. read more

Leaving this to specifically respond to one reviewer that complained about the food not being "healthy" here. Trio is PLANT-BASED... but they specialize in comfort food. Not sure they ever claimed to be "healthy". Vegan/plant-based does not automatically equal healthy. Just wanted to clear that up. Although I haven't been here for a few months, the food and service were all great in my experience. We ordered the nachos (delicious!) and I got the regular mac & cheese (YUMM!!). As a lactose intolerant, I can truly appreciate a good cheese substitute and these were as good as it gets. I'm really excited to return to try their more recent menu additions, because it seems like they always have something new to try! read more

This place is definitely going the same way everything else in this building did. Out of business. Super frustrating that vegan restaurants seem to have the Worst service. This place is no different. Horrible service! The food is expensive and not good. Ambiance is cold and uncomfortable. So disappointed that this place sucks. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I visited with 3 friends, we each ordered an entree and an appetizer to share. And then... we waited. And waited... for about an hour. Finally, our server brought 3 of our 4 entrees and assured my friend that his would be out "right away." Thinking it would be 5 minutes max for him to get his food, we waited to start eating to not be rude. It took another 15 minutes for his food to arrive, so all of our food was cold by the time we were ready to eat... why bring out the 3 entrees to begin with? We then asked out service where our appetizer was, and she said that she forgot to put the order in. Not wanting to have to wait another hour for food, we decided to just let it go. Now, as for the food itself: I've been vegan for 3 years, and while this wasn't the worst vegan food I've had, I was extremely underwhelmed. The ribs were extremely tough and rubbery; the cornbread had a very chemical taste (perhaps from the butter they used? I'm not sure); and I'm 99% sure they use vanilla plant-based milk in their mac and cheese because there was definitely a weirdly sweet taste to it. Not a great experience and I doubt I'll be back. read more
