Francis Burger Joint

“really good fries, good as mcdonalds, and the wings, I like how bright and flavorful they are. I got the big stack and it’s so yummy. even better cuz it’s vegan!!” -quote from my friend I got the garlic girl and it was DELICIOUS. “the chicken nuggets tastes legit, it is so good, and the francisco burger had the PERFECT amount of spice.” -my other friend

Delightful food options (for a vegetarian feeling oppressed by America's meat-forward culture). Honestly some of the best burgers I've ever eaten, even when compared to back when I ate cow meat. Jucy Lucy, Firecracker burger, "chicken" sandwich - I've never been disappointed by the food at Francis Burger Joint!

Outstanding burger. I usually just go for carnivore options for lunch (I am no stranger to red meat in the middle of the day) but today I decided to see what all the hype was about. I went to Francis on Central Ave and let me tell you IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Never before have I ate a vegan burger so crispy, succulent, flavorful... pure excellence. This waz yesterday and wow this one is still fresh in my memory, probably dancing at my number 2 burger of all time (it's hard to beat fresh Bison from Montana, okay?). If you are a vegan, this spot has a wonderful sandwich for you. If you love burgers and usually eat meat, this spot will make you question your entire diet. Friendly staff, beautiful interior. They even served me ORANGE JUICE. I'm going to come back during bar time. I want to rent the apartment above so I can receive wafts from this heavenly sanctuary at all times of day. BLESS YOU, SAINT FRANCIS!

Great food and atmosphere! I had the chicken sandwich and it was spectacular! It's hard to find places that have good vegetarian options and the entire menu is vegetarian/vegan here. My husband eats meat and still thought it tasted great. I also love that they have the ability to set up a mobile group order at the table. It made ordering for our large group super easy. Highly, highly recommend!

One of the best vegan places in all of Minneapolis! My partner and I love Francis and as a lifelong vegetarian it makes me SO SO happy we have such a nice spot only 10 minutes away from our apartment! My partner eats meat but they've said that the burgers here are way better than anything they've ever had, meat or otherwise! I've tried basically everything on the menu and have eaten at the NE and East Lake location more than 20+ times each. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal from Francis, even on their 'off days' the food is stull fresh, light, and delicious! The staff are incredibly friendly and you can tell they genuinely love working here. I also think that the restaurant's general aesthetic is fun, bold, and atmospheric! Thank you to the Francis team for everything you do, I'm sure I'll be eating here again very soon!

Tasty food and milkshakes. The chorizo cheeseburger was flavorful and arrived on a hearty roll wrapped in paper, just like a classic drive-in burger, only vegan. The shoestring fries were crispy and well-seasoned. The real star was my peach milkshake. It had lots of fruit and was delectably creamy, finished with some whipped cream and a cherry. It was the perfect dipping sauce for my basket of fries. Servers were upbeat and the atmosphere was clean and relaxed. Highly recommend!

Love the vibe of this place and the burgers are phenomenal - menu had plenty of options. (We've tried the garlic, the juicy Lucy, the honey mustard chicken and the spicy chicken...so far. Highly recommend and will be back. My only disappointment was the fries-they weren't hot and therefore tasted a little stale. Maybe not fresh)

I stopped into Francis Burger Joint for the first time and had one of the best surprises I’ve had in a while. I ordered a plant-based burger, and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect—but it completely blew me away. The flavor, texture, and overall quality were incredible. If no one had told me it was plant-based, I wouldn’t have believed it. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. This place changed my perspective on plant-based food. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend giving it a try—you might be as surprised as I was. Also they serve Go Brewery Beer and they don’t expect to be tipped.

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but I went here today because I like to try different things. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Great flavor and texture. I would recommend this place to everyone. Even meat eaters like myself will enjoy it. And the fries are awesome too.

First time visitor after being recommend by friends. Had the breakfast burger and it was great. I also think their fries are MUCH better than other places. Everything on the menu is plant based. Would absolutely recommend to everyone, whether vegetarian/vegan or not. Also had friendly staff and a cool vibe.
