Warmth in the winter - Edit
This little restaurant has big flavor. The macaroni has some heat and everything has bold flavor. The collard greens are perfect and the cornbread is warm and moist. The only downside is that it ends. And it’s pricey, but definitely a great meal.

Great burgers - Edit
I love going to a fully plant based place. We enjoyed the buffalo cauliflower wings, fiesta burger (w sweet potato fries), and bbq pit burger (w regular fries). We dined in for the first time today and enjoyed our lunch experience. Get there if you can!

freaking obsessed w their food - Edit
They were out of the ribs when I was there. We got the Lemon pepper cauli wings which were battered and fried amazingly. So light and crunchy. Came with house made bbq sauce that was really good and a ranch that was good. Mac and cornbread were absolutely delicious, the maple butter was amazing, made the cornbread really yummy. Did have some burnt pieces though like reviews said, but it was a good portion so I didn’t mind it. Mac wasn’t special but still really good, I just love a good mac when I can find one. Hubby got walnut meat nachos that were really flavorful and amazing, we both loved it. great portions. LOVED our server. clean restaurant. dont have a single complaint

Super tasty vegan soul food - Edit
This is a great spot, really good flavors - I like all the classic soul food sides, the wraps and macs are delicious. The “ribs” are seitan and I don’t love them, they’re ok but kinda dense like all seitan mock ribs seem to be. But the rest of the menu 🤤❤️ eating here also supports a fantastic Black owned vegan business!

Meh - Edit
Food here is pretty good if not overly seasoned but the service is really terrible. I’ve been here twice and both times felt very unwelcoming

I'm here right now and I see what you mean. The cashier looks alittle overwhelmed but still she could be a bit nicer. But I also feel for her working in retail

Awesome! - Edit
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 morePros: Great food, Cute environment, Generous portions

Deliciously satisfying - Edit
We grabbed a few dishes to bring home and everyone was blown away. My husband wants to give this 20 stars. They unfortunately were out of collard greens for a few hours, so we did not get to try them. Everything else was superb.

Hit the spot - Edit
Cauliflower wings were the star for us in our order. They were perfectly crispy on the outside while the inside was practically juicy (if cauliflower can be juicy - I'm trying to avoid the word moist). In short, it was a great combo of textures while also being great flavor. Unfortunately our cornbread had burnt bits on top so we picked around that. Thankfully it was a generous portion because we ate every crumb that wasn't burnt! Collards were too salty for me, which was disappointing because I was really looking forward to it. The sweet yams helped balance the salty collards. They tasted like a guilt free, healthy dessert!

I live super close to the restaurant and it’s difficult not ordering every week. They have a ton of options and change out their specials so you can always try something new. Plus their lemonades are always so good!

Incredible - Edit
I’ve had vegan soul food at a few different places across the country, and this is the best! I had the cornbread, ribs, collard greens, and yams, and all of them tasted just like the non-vegan versions of these classic dishes. I tried this on a visit to Minneapolis, and was seriously tempted to go back the next day.
Read moreNote: they are only doing take out right now, I assume due to covid. I had about a twenty minute walk back to where I was staying after pick up, and the food still tasted like it had just been brought to my table.

Great vegan food! - Edit
Just visiting and stopped by here. I ordered the create your own soul bowl with the ribs, yams, greens, mac n cheese and cornbread. Everything was delicious besides the yams.... honestly they were DISGUSTING. They tasted like Coca Cola... it was a very strange taste and I love yams - I’m from the south! Loved everything else but damn, those yams were yuck. Will stop by again when I’m in town!

Amazing food, long wait times - Edit
Absolutely love the food every time I go here, however I’ve noticed that staff tend to be slow at tending to their customers. I once had to wait about 45 minutes for food when there were only two other people in the restaurant. Another time a friend and I waited about 15 minutes for a waiter to get our order. I’m not sure if this is intentional or if they are understaffed or what but this is the only issue I have every time I go. Hope this improves bc this place has great potential!

They know how to do what they do best - Edit
Their soul food is beyond amazing. The maple butter was heavenly. Collards greens tasted meat savory somehow?! How did they do that. Mac and cheese was off the wall good.

I finally went to Trio! Their food is delicious. I will be back. Highly recommend the Buffalo cauliflower if you like spicy foods. I wish they had more options that don’t contain fake meat, however.
