Trio Plant- Based

Have been meaning to try Trio for years and finally decided to order takeout for lunch today. I wasn’t disappointed! Such comforting and hearty food on this rainy food. I loved the jackfruit ribs. So succulent! The mac and cheese was creamy and delightful. Wish it had a bit more flavor though. The cornbread was moist and savory. The yams were sweet and tender. I devoured my meal, and I’ll be back for more!

I adore this restaurant so much. My favorites are the fried chick'n sandwich and the loaded fries. Louis and Angel were lovely, and it was so good to chat with them about the vegan food scene in the Twin Cities. The location cannot be beat. I rode my bike on the Midtown Greenway then Bryant then a few blocks on Lake (most dicey part) to arrive. There were convenient bike racks right in front, and the restaurant has gorgeous open windows where you can people watch (and frown at all the drivers deciding to ride in the bus only lane). I can't wait to go back!

This is some of the best vegetarian food I’ve ever had! The cauliflower wings with lemon pepper rub were amazing, and the homemade ranch was perfect. We also got the southwest “chicken” salad which had great flavor and crunch. My sister and I were visiting from Phoenix and so glad to find such high quality vegetarian food in the area.

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!

Absolutely delicious. Incredible rib flavor and texture. Happy to have such a great vegan option available. The peach cobbler was also to die for.

I’ve only been to a few vegan restaurants in Minneapolis, but Trio Plant Based is by far the best I’ve experienced. I had their "chckn" sandwich, made with oyster mushrooms and seasoned with lemon pepper, and it was better than some actual chicken sandwiches I’ve had. The house-made ranch is to die for, and their lemonade is so soothing, I ended up ordering about five of them while I was there. But what really won me over were the cauliflower wings. I’ll be getting them every time, and of course, I had to get the lemon pepper seasoning on them. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I’d gladly travel again in -20-degree weather just for their food. I highly recommend it, even if you're not vegan or vegetarian!

The food here was absolutely mind-blowing. Easily the best cauliflower wings I’ve ever had. The food was cooked fast and I love that the restaurant is family owned! The owner chatted with us for a bit. There’s cool artwork on the walls to purchase. I cannot praise this place enough! My non-veg family loved the food here too. The fries portions were huge and delicious!

My boyfriend and I have always supported this restaurant since they’ve first opened back in 2018. When we want a little taste of southern home cooking that he grew up with, we always order from here. This most recent order we placed was through DoorDash and by the time we received it, the restaurant had already closed. Half of our order was WRONG. If you review the receipt and the food we received, you can see I was so disappointed. Not sure how you mistake a buffalo chicken wrap & Cajun fries with just cauliflower wings. We couldn’t call the restaurant to get it fixed because they had already closed by 7:15pm Friday night and we received our DoorDash order at 7:35pm. This was not the Doordasher’s fault. I went to bed hungry and disappointed. I understand that mistakes can be made but I do hope that this does not happen to anyone else that chooses to place a delivery order. I’d like to continue supporting this restaurant but now I’m worried to place a delivery order at the risk of getting the wrong food again 😮‍💨

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.

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.

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.

This is THE best vegan restaurant I've ever been to! The staff are super nice, the ambiance is perfect, and the food is absolutely incredible. I don't understand how it was so good. The soul food bowl - just get it. Holy cow I want to drive the 2 hours right now to eat it again!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I ordered takeout and the food was soooo yummy. You can tell they really use quality ingredients and cooking. The cheesy macaroni on top of the Beyond patty was so good. I ordered the Mac Attack and it did not disappoint. Surprisingly, it wasn't that messy!!! And they really gave me a lot of fries on the side. I will need to come back for everything on their menu!!

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!

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

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..

My fiancé and I stopped in while visiting the twin cities. We were ecstatic to try the various vegan options. The flavors of the meal were good; however, texture and consistency were a miss. We ordered jackfruit ribs (these were a bit tough), Mac n cheese, collards and yams. The Mac n cheese was okay. Nothing was awful, but we both agree not the best we've had.

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!

Phenomenal food. I'm not even vegetarian and will definitely be back. Personable service, casual-chic decor, and a menu bursting with flavor + soul. Everyone at our table can't wait to go back.

Upon taking our first bite, my partner, and I looked at each other from across the table with our eyes wide. This food blew our minds!! Incredible! The only downside was they were out of the BBQ Jackfruit but will be back for that.

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

I feel so confident knowing that I can order anything from the menu and it will meet my plant-based diet needs and taste delicious. This is a place that offers options to someone like me who is newer to a plant-based lifestyle. I can bring friends and family here knowing that they will enjoy their food as well, and realize that plant-based food meets their needs also.

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.

Best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in the twin cities. We had a blue berry lemonade soul bowl, wrapped cauliflower wings and jackfruit nacho fries --all fantastic! Five stars

Great comfort food. Can't even tell that the Mac n cheese was vegan. Must try their yams and soul bowl. Counter service to order and they bring the food to you. Ambiance is a cute cafe style with lots of natural lighting. Collard greens are a bit on the saltier side if eaten alone so I recommend mixing it with your Mac n cheese or ribs

The food was good, I enjoyed my falafel burger and the fries were fried well. However, for a sit down restaurant with a 20% gratuity the service was not good. We waited at the front for about 5 minutes for salt and nobody came. The only server had friends over at the counter and was not even looking at the individuals that walked in. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but it was very subpar service.

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!

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.

We Definitely would go there again their food was delicious My mom and I enjoyed had our meals to go at the time but overall everything was good We had a great experience at the restaurant the staff was very kind , thumbs up all the way

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.

Amazing food. Good service. They just opened as we arrived, and made sure to take great care of us as it was our first time. The food was delicious, filling, and soulful. As a vegan, I didn't realize how much I missed BBQ but this is a very happy substitute. I had the for the soul bowl. Delicious. Sweet. Flavorful. My partner had the pick 3 combo. The cornbread is the best I've had. Ever. Definitely get some while you're here!

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!

BEWARE: they charge an unadvertised 20% service fee. You pay on a handheld device so can't see why the bill is what it is and then it asks for tip so I gave the standard 20%. Only when I got a printed receipt (because I asked for one) did we then discover the service fee on top of the tip. The employees couldn't explain it and the manager refused to come out from the kitchen or re-run my bill without the double tip added. The food was good but what they do is sketchy. They are not upfront about the fee or letting you see your bill before you pay and it is unacceptable they wouldn't remedy it.

What a cute restaurant with easy metered street parking! Let me begin by saying their cauliflower wings are so perfectly buffalo with a thin but crispy layer of breading. Must get!!! I got the chili cheeze fries, shared the taco fries and sampled the buffalo chikken mac and cheeze. The ground "meat" in both fries options is surprisingly good- has a meat-texture and absorbs the flavor of the dish! Between the two, the chili fries had a huge portion of both chili and fries while the taco fries had less fries and more topping (lay on that guacamole!). Neither dish was able to be finished because of how filling they were regardless. My husband is very much a meat-eater and this was his first vegan meal so the fact that he finished the buffalo chikken mac is impressive. He said the meat wasn't exactly like chicken but it did taste like meat and the cheeze was impressively gooey. He also had, not one but, two cauliflower wings voluntarily!! He doesn't eat cauliflower and this was a feat!! Great place to try a good, gooey, vegan cheese and please do yourself a favor and get the cauliflower wings!

SUPER delicious. A bit of a splurge, but for great vegan food, I'll take it any day I have a little extra $ to drop.

Amazing food. Staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. They accommodated our large group easily. Will return!

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.

Had cauliflower with bbq sauce and their huge cookie. Super tasty!

The FOR YOUR SOUL bowl with riblets was AMAZING!!! Soul filling!!! Ate 1 there and had to have 1 to go!!!

Minneapolis has become a vegan paradise and Trio Plant-based is the latest place to arrive on the scene. The story behind the restaurant is emblematic of the progressive, multicultural history and fabric of the city (I'll let you look it up). This is a town at the forefront of civic activism, racial mixing and basic human decency. Oh, and it happens to make great food, too. I got the vegan soul combo ($15 for three dishes) and loved all of it---the mac and cheese is creamy and rich, the cornbread delectable and warming, and the BBQ seitan hearty. I normally hate BBQ anything, but here the sauce wasn't heavy or sweet or too thick; it served as a nice accompaniment to what (I think) was Herbivorous Butcher seitan. The grilled vegan ham and cheese ($11) tasted great, with house-made pistachio cheese. The cheese didn't taste like pistachio to me, but it was gooey and uncannily reminiscent of Kraft cheese, albeit less oily. I think the bread could have been more substantial (it appeared to just be Dave's Killer Bread), but it all came together on a whole. I look forward to coming back when Trio has a larger menu---I'd love to see cheesecake and breakfast sandwiches. As it stands, Trio is a great spot and is about more than just food.

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!

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!

I'd try this place again if I had to but I was not impressed when I ordered during COVID. I ordered and showed up well after the time frame they told me and I still had to wait at least 10 minutes. Literally no one else was waiting and their phone wasn't ringing. I already read the other reviews about poor service so I wasn't surprised, just disappointed. The mac and cheese was my favorite! Tasty and unique. The ribs were decent as was the cornbread, collard greens and cole slaw. The pie was not that great. My husband ordered a burger which was totally forgettable. They seem to be changing out staff quite a bit and I wish them all the best. I am curious what else they can come up with and I hope they can even out their customer service (it was also very confusing/difficult to use a gift card that I had) 3.5/5

Stopped in to Trio for carry out on a road trip west with my partner. I looked at probably 20 places and this one stuck out as a Black-owned vegan soul food restaurant. So many options: exciting burgers, wraps, desserts, appetizers, and CHEESE FRIES (!), all vegan! I ordered the BBQ pit burger with regular fries and the Buffalo wrap with a side salad for carry out. It took maybe 30 minutes and they texted me when it was done. I picked up the order easily at a walk-up window and the kind people working there went above and beyond to help. On to the food: OH MY! The BBQ pit, which was my favorite kind of sandwich before going vegan (onion ring, bbq sauce, cheddar, sometimes bacon - you know the drill) was phenomenal. I fed my partner sloppy bites as we got on the highway towards Fargo, and she raved about it as I did. If I lived in Minneapolis, I'd come here very. very. often - just for this! The fries were crispy and tastier than I expected too - not your average fries. I thought the Buffalo wrap featured plant-based chicken, but it was actually cauliflower. This disappointed me a bit though I'm sure I misread the menu. The sauce was spicy and the side salad came already-dressed - so tasty!! The ranch is incredible too - among the best ranches I've tasted, vegan or not. Our total with a 20% tip was about $39. A splurge for our road trip, and so well worth it - I'm more than happy to support this business and hope it continues to thrive. The strawberry cake dessert and the cheese fries looked great - maybe next time. Check out Trio soon!

Delicious! The cauliflower wings, macs, and burgers are great. Next time I'm trying the onion rings because they are huge and look incredible.

COVID time review: called ahead for our order. They have both a walk up and pick up window. Unfortunately, our order was short due to a miscommunication, but they fixed it promptly and comped part of it. Due to volume, they have Plant-based burgers and fries only right now. They tasted and smelled great. It was so hard to drive home without eating them. I will be back.

Just checked this place out for takeout (during Covid-19) and I couldn't be more pleased. We went with the Soul Food Platter and chose the Mac and Cheeze, Collards, Cornbread with Maple "butter", and BBQ Jackfruit "ribs." So, I just moved here after living in NC for 5 years, and I can honestly say that I have not had a plate of vegan BBQ at all, let alone one that is this amazing. Who would have thought my first BBQ plate would be in Minnesota?! My SO (former meat eater, from the South) said that he felt like he was eating a BBQ plate at a picnic. The pricing/portion size was perfect. It was just enough for both me and my SO to share for lunch; we barely had room left for the delicious giant chocolate chip cookie we ordered for dessert. The texture of the BBQ jackfruit was awesome...I couldn't even tell it was jackfruit. My favorite was by far the cornbread though. The crumbly texture was perfect and I loved how the sweetness complimented the rest of the flavors on the platter. I will definitely be back to try their wraps and other goodies (and of course to support this amazing Black owned business!)

The food is pretty decent quality. Great place with extensive vegan options. Cauliflower Buffalo wings, Mac and cheeze, all great. Service is lacking for a traditional sit down restaurant. You seat yourself, have to get your own drinks, own silverware, go up to the counter to order. At least they brought us out food. The waitress struck me as if she owned the place, but maybe she didn't care about the service. Then I understood. Nowhere on the website menu (they don't offer physical menus, not a huge deal) does it say that they charge a mandatory 20% service charge. I checked several times. Absolutely nowhere. This is illegal to tack on 20% to a menu price for a "service charge" without disclosing it prior to billing. It also makes me feel nickel and dimed and ruined my experience of eating there. Then they have the audacity to request a tip, configuring their toast POS to be 18, 20, and 25%. After NO service and charging a 20% charge for non-existent service. It appears they prompt for a tip for pickup, too. The restaurant itself is fairly small, maybe 8 or 9 4-seater tables in total. Overall, decent food, but not two entrees for $70 good with awful service on top. Cannot recommend.

This place is amazing! Great service, great food, ambiance is on point. This place ous a must!

AMAZING FOOD!!!!!! Genuinely some of the best vegan food I've ever had. I'm not from the area but I would travel back just to eat here again. The staff is so kind and friendly and the atmosphere is chill and cool. Playlist is chefs kiss. Come here, I promise you will not be disappointed. 10/10!
