Best Vegan Burgers in Minneapolis

Francis Burger Joint is a 100% vegan burger bar and restaurant at 2422 Central Ave NE in Northeast Minneapolis, with a second location in Longfellow. The menu centers on vegan burgers: a taco-seasoned Impossible burger, a garlicky black bean burger, and a Juicy Lucy stuffed with vegan cheese. What sets Francis apart from other vegan spots is its fully animal-free bar program -- no crushed beetle dyes in cocktails, no fish bladder-filtered wines, no animal-derived additives in any drink. The industrial-chic Northeast space is suited for casual dinners and bar nights alike.

The second location of Minneapolis's 100% vegan burger joint, opened November 2024 on East Lake Street in Longfellow. Same smash-style plant-based burgers, crispy chick'n, and shakes as the Northeast original, now serving the river neighborhoods.

Trio Plant-Based is the first Black-owned, 100% plant-based soul food restaurant in Minneapolis. Founded by Louis Hunter after six years on West Lake Street, Trio relocated to Midtown Global Market (920 E Lake St) in March 2026 and is now part of the East Court food hall. The menu is rooted in comfort: buffalo mac & cheese, slow-cooked collard greens, jackfruit barbecue ribs, and hearty burgers and wraps — all fully plant-based. This is the kind of soul food that doesn't require compromise; every dish is built to satisfy. Trio has always stood for more than food — it's grounded in resilience, community, and healing, values that Louis Hunter has centered from the start. Midtown Global Market is a vibrant multicultural food hall at the heart of the Lake Street corridor. Trio fits right in: accessible, community-focused, and one of the most meaningful vegan spots in the city.
