"I visited the Herbivorous Butcher today with high expectations. I had never been there before, though I am a long-time fan of their sister shop, Herbie Butcher’s Fried Chicken. The Herbivorous Butcher has an excellent reputation, but I didn't know if their sandwiches could compete with other local well-regarded sandwich shops. This was before I tried the Italian sandwich! It was recommended to me by the friendly person working the counter, and I’m so glad I tried it. It was crunchy, chewy, savory, and a little sweet. I loved the garlic mayo and cherry pepper relish. The bread was soft and easy to eat. Sometimes sandwich shops have crispy bread that’s difficult to bite through, but this hoagie roll gave me no such trouble. The plant-based meats on the sandwich were so flavorful and chewy. I devoured my sandwich, and I can’t wait to bring my boyfriend here to try it. I want to try all the sandwiches on their menu now! The sandwich came with chips too, which is always nice. The shop is cute and fun. The food is amazing. Highly recommend a visit!"

"Everything about this place is amazing. I stopped in for an espresso to go, I never get flavored drinks, but after seeing their lattes I had to try one. It was so good I had to grab one for the wife and came back the next day for breakfast. The donut latte is unbelievable, it tastes exactly like a cake donut. They have my two favorite donuts on display, french crullers and old fashioned sour cream. I got the latter and it was the best sour cream donut I've ever had. We got their breakfast sandwiches and they were all perfect, classic flavors with a little extra to step it up a level. The decor of the place is beautiful, even the cups are attractive. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Minneapolis."

"We always hate leaving our dog at home when we go out, so we found a great place where we can bring him along! There’s plenty of parking right next to the restaurant, provided there's not a Farmer's Market happening. While it may not look like much from the outside, the interior and patio are quite charming! You do pay a small entry fee for each dog, which grants you full access to the facilities. The staff, both inside and outside, handle most of the cleaning and supervision while you enjoy your meal. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations! They offer a good selection of draft and canned drinks, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, with plenty of local brews to choose from. The food is typical bar fare, but we really loved the fish tacos and the hot dog! The cheese curds were undoubtedly the highlight, and the harissa ketchup was a standout! We’re definitely planning to return!"

"We went here for our birthdays, and felt very spoiled. It was exciting to know what dish would be next. There were so many favorites that I wish I had more of. We had the fall menu, and loved the pasta, fish, bison, and their main desserts. Service was great and they were knowledgeable about all the dishes and ingredients. It's a tiny restaurant and pretty amazing they can cook all that amazing food in that small kitchen. We also enjoyed the front view of all the chefs preparing our food. If I had to say one bad thing about this place, then it was the birthday cake they served us. It was a nice gesture and it wasn’t expected, but they really didn’t have to (nor should’ve served it). The reason is because the cake tasted like a leftover cake that nobody wanted from Cub Foods. Hey, Cubs is my everyday bakery, but it was such a drastic difference/disappointment from the 5* meal we just got served. I wouldn’t serve that cake at all. We were happy without it. They also gave each of us a box of treats to take home. Other than the bday cake disappointment, we would definitely come here again for special occasions. Dietary restrictions: They were very good providing tasty alternatives with a nut allergy. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"Went with my vegan friend. I ordered the Francis double cheeseburger and she had the spicy chicken sandwich. The burger was good, but all the sauce/lettuce/cheese/tomato on one side made it a mess halfway through. The fries were among the worst I've had, which we both agreed on. I've been told by others that they're normally good. The burger was a 7/10 from a meat-eater prospective. The spicy chicken wasn't very spicy, was kinda dry, but good. From a vegan perspective, this place is probably a 7/10 or 8/10, from an omni prospective, I'd give it a 6.5. The fries killed it for me."
