Unbelievably good food, I would eat here every day if possible. You MUST try the collard greens, they are undoubtedly the best I’ve ever had. Would absolutely recommend, even my non-vegan boyfriend was floored at how amazing the food was.
Thank you Trio Plant-based for the most wonderful catered lunch today!! It was my first time trying jackfruit BBQ ribs and when I tell you I couldn't tell they were vegan, I'm not lying!! Everything was delicious - the ribs (of course!) the corn bread w/ maple butter, the gluten free mac & cheese, the collard greens - YUM!! If you live in the Twin Cities or are visiting the Twin Cities, it is a worthwhile stop!! I truly appreciate the time and care that was put into our order. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! So delicious!
Very pleasant experience. The food was better than expected, the service was friendly, and the location is great!I had the Chili Mac and the Walnut Taco Salad and thought they were both really solid, even as a non-vegan.
Had lunch there recently; the flavors and textures were AMAZING. I especially loved the mac & cheeze, the collards, and the BBQ jackfruit “ribs”. It’s important to me that the place is both vegan and black-owned, but after one taste I almost didn’t care about either of those. ? Vegan soul food doesn’t have to be a contradiction in terms anymore!
Meat lovers. Come and gather around. Let me tell you a story of a vegan restaurant that made my meat-loving heart waver. If you want to try a vegan restaurant that would make even the most stubborn person love it, this is the place.The atmosphere of the place clean and almost too quiet (in a good way!) compared to the hustle of the street outside. The bathroom was clean and well kept. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Cauliflower Wings with the Trio "Ranch", the Fiesta Burger with a Cajun Fries, Buffalo Mac, and the Vanilla cake with Strawberry sauce.The wings came out first and I was skeptical of the ranch that came out with it. I mean, how do you even make vegan ranch? But gosh dang it, one dip of the sauce and I was hooked. Tasted just like ranch but not heavy at all. You could drink the sauce and you wouldn't have a stomach ache. The tangy bbq sauce was good too, but it was not as impressive comparatively. The wings themselves were crunchy, not soggy. Nicely seasoned and not dripping with grease or "water" from the Califlower. Huge portions too. 9/10The Fiesta Burger with Fries came next. I looked at the burger with another skeptical eye. I smelled it. "Smells like a burger." I expected to take a bite out of it, give it a "not as good as the real thing" review and write it off. Well; as you can see from the photo, one bite and I could not stop. You know what it tasted like? Five Guy's. Yeap. I said it. The burger is the vegan equivalent of Five Guys (and I love that place.) Juicy, meaty, and without that wierd "vegan" patty taste. Wow. I had almost forgot that I needed to take a photo due to it being so good. 10/10.The Mac came out after. Personally, it was not the best Mac I've ever had. For vegan Mac though, it was pretty good. If you did not know it was vegan, you wouldn't notice a thing wrong. I wish it had more cheese in it, but maybe it is a vegan cheese thing where you can't use too much or the consistency might be wierd. Tangy and that buffalo heat that everyone knows. The noodles were cooked thoroughly and al dente. 7/10Lastly, the desert. The cake was soft, smooth, and not too sweet. God dang it, finally. I hate cakes that are so sweet, your dentist would cry. The strawberry sauce though was a bit underwhelming. Though it was good, it seemed to not be a "sauce" but a sweet watery "syrup". Reminds me of school strawberries that I loved. 8/10Overall, a great experience. Service was bomb-diggty and even the chef came out to check on us. Now that's some home cooking stuff you only see in the movies. The only thing I would see people being reluctant to come would be the price. I only say this because I know a lot of people feel differently about food. Personally, you get what you pay for.And you will definitely get your money's worth here.That's the jist of it.
I loved it!! The ranch was delicious, definitely worth the trip alone.
One of my favorites for takeout if I’m in the neighborhood. Most recently got the Lou wrap, and it was awesome. Also, although not what they’re known for, I really like their fries. Good food whether you eat plant-based (I don’t) or not.
Trio-Plant Based masterfully injects soul into vegan cuisine. So much flavor packed into their meals. I ordered the Mac Attack Burger and chili “cheese” fries. Mac attack uses a beyond meat patty with macaroni noodles. I can see why that burger is their best seller. Truly astonishing how close the “cheese” tastes to the real thing.I highly recommend this restaurant for all vegan eaters and fans of soul food alike. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to visiting again.
I had the buffalo cauliflower and the soul bowl on the recommendation of the waitress. The cauliflower is such a huge portion and only $14. The buffalo sauce was tangy and delicious. I had to force myself to not eat it all because i had the bowl coming. I was a big nervous with the bowl with everything together, but the flavors were mouth symphony. I did opt for the extra $2 bbq riblets which i don't recommend because the bbq sauce was a but over powering. Oddly i had wanted more collard greens in the bowl because they tasted so good. That's no usually a favorite item for me so i was happily impressed. The Mac and cheez was also excellent, normally vegan cheese leaves a lot to be desired but they did the food perfectly. I highly recommend this busy vegan joint and top it off with a homemade glass of strawberry lemonade. I only wish the glasses were bigger to drink more.
Trio is fantastic. Great food and great service. If you’re interested in trying vegan food for the first time, there’s no place better to start. It’s also a great place to go if you’re trying to accommodate palates of all kinds. It’s arguably the best soul food in Minnesota (coming from someone who has traveled extensively in Louisiana, I’d say almost anywhere but my auntie might have something to say about that). The staff are amazing and the service is quick. Really really great food and definitely recommend for vegans and omnivores alike.
