Reviews of Herbie Butcher's Fried Chicken
Nick Koons
Vegan fried chicken?? Yes!! I’m glad I got to go here, I haven’t had fried chicken quite like this since going vegan. Great flavor and texture. The 3 piece bucket was great and came with tots and a biscuit. The biscuit and vegan honey butter were superb. I also really liked the BBQ and Ranch sauces. It reminds me of when I used to eat at KFC back in the day. We also got their new fried mozzarella sticks, but they were just okay. The cheese is more gooey than stringy, and are a bit pricey for what they are. The chicken sandwiches were also very good and the sauces on those were very good. Perfect for a vegan chicken craving. The staff was also very nice.

Glad I tried this place out. If your in need of vegan food or just want to try something different then this is definitely a place to try. Service was nice and informative. Biscuit was good but the butter was lackluster for being an additional charge. The bowl was pretty filling but you have to pay extra for the toppings which I think it needed for that extra finesse (my extra jalapenos literally had little no spice)

Get your all-vegan fried chicken meal hear. Everything from the mains to the sides is recreated without animal products. They even made the chicken into different shapes to match the different cuts. The meat was tender, and the breading was crispy. If you get the macaroni and cheese, I recommend adding the extra crispies. The malts were also a good addition. If you are not vegan and like fried chicken, give this a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

As a person trying to eat more vegan, this is great! It’s doesn’t taste like the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had but it definitely is the closest to real I’ve eaten. The breading and sauce are absolutely fantastic, the inside looks odd but it is what it is. Tots are nice and salty. Service was fast and polite. Prices aren’t outrageous like everywhere else right now. Curious to try the steak bites or Buffalo chicken next time. Would love to see a black bean burger or something similar down the road. Thanks!

It's soo good! It doesn't matter if you're vegan, it's just good food. Seriously. We brought a large bucket to a family gathering and they loved it - and no one else is vegetarian much less vegan.
The crispy chicken sandwich is my favorite.
The shakes are tasty, I've had a couple different flavors. Note: These do not taste like milk-based shakes.
If your dish has the option to 'add crunchies,' do it.
Sarah Croteau
Phenomenal! I've been veg for 3 years and this whole meal blew my mind. The medium bucket was more than enough food for two. The service was fast, the chicken was prepared to crispy perfection, but don't sleep on the mashed potatoes and gravy! I haven't had gravy this good in years. My partner is a meat-eater and loved this meal as well. Y'all better watch out, I'll be back :)

The crisp on that “chicken” was incredibly impressive! As were the tots, which could have just been phoned in but absolutely were not! 🤤 My partner loved the chocolate coconut based shake as well. And the mac & cheese? To die for. Incidentally, we got takeout and had a picnic with it in nearby cemetery. 10/10 best date of my life.

Gave Herbie's a try for Dining Out for Life today. I saw on that website that Herbie's was one of few restaurants committed to donating 100% of profits from today.
The restaurant is small and currently doesn't have dine-in. Heard that starts next week. I ordered the chicken sandwich with tator tots. The employee was very friendly and efficient. With a fountain pop and tip, my total was $15. Waited maybe 10 minutes and my order was ready to go.
It smelled delicious and looked very tasty. Honestly, I was a couple of bites in before I realized it wasn't actually fried chicken!! I didn't really research the menu, just knew they were participating in a good cause. My first foray into the non-meat meats and I was very pleasantly surprised. The tots were well seasoned.
I would definitely recommend this little gem to carnivores and herbivores!
CEO “BranTh3Don” PR
OMG! I can honestly say, this is the absolute best plant-based Buffalo chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. The tots were really good as well.
Really good customer service, really good atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back and try the other menu items. I highly recommend this place! Two thumbs way up!
Megan S
I haven't been to their restaurant yet, but I had their fried chicken and gravy at the State Fair. I have not had anything so close to fried chicken since becoming a vegetarian about 5 years ago. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. My meat eating husband also loved it. RUN, don't walk, to get that vegan fried "chicken"!!!!!
Sara Crow
The food here is knock your socks off incredible and the people were absolute darlings. We were so happy with every aspect of our experience, I can't wait to go back. I got the chicken bowl and my partner got a sandwich with tots, and both were fresh, hot, and of such incredible quality that I'll be dreaming about not-chicken for weeks!
Patrick Kimbrough
I am not a vegan but I often dabble in vegan food. I chose this place since I was in the food for crunchy fried chicken and soul food. Somehow this ended up in my search and since it was rated 4.9 stars I decided to try it out. The food was actually very good I must say, it came very close to real fried chicken but without the grease (slight bummer). My only knock was that I literally ate a bucket of chicken, tator tots, biscuits and Mac and cheese and didn’t feel full at all. I am not sure if that is because of the food being vegan or my food intake earlier in the day. Either way it was worth the 30 minute drive from my house to get some food. Worth the price

Great food! I was so happy to get to finally try this place out and it didn't disappoint! It seems expensive when you first order, but when you get your food you realize that it is actually a very generous amount, especially for vegan "fast" food. The only thing that wasn't great was the buscuit, it was kind of hard but it wasn't a huge deal because everything else was perfect. My non-vegan mom was impressed with everything she tasted. She especially loved the mashed potatoes and gravy.
Luigi Rosario
Very misleading. Everything on the menu should lead with the words VEGAN on it.
The Thai restaurant near by was closed down, thought I’d try some Fried Chicken (notice the spelling?). I ordered a chicken bowl and took it home, didn’t realize this place does not actually sell real fried chicken. For a little under $15 you can be easily deceived and still be hungry an hour later.
Mariah Mckenzie
Had an amazing experience getting Herbie's vegan fried chicken! My friend and I ordered the medium bucket of chicken to share and we had plenty of food. The medium bucket came with 4 chicken pieces on a bed of tater tots, 2 sides (we got coleslaw and mac'n cheese), 2 biscuits with maple butter and 2 sauces of your choice. We got butcher sauce and honey mustard. Both sauces were delicious! The plant based fried chicken was to die for! It was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. I believe you could fool some typical carnivores into believing it was chicken. I would take anyone here to eat. I will defiantly be back next time I'm in the city.
Nick M
We ordered a Medium Bucket, which was way too much food for the two of us - which is a compliment, because the price was great. We loved the fried "chicken" - you can see why the Herbivorous Butcher is doing so well. We weren't over the moon about the mashed potatoes, but they were very much like potatoes from the big American fried chicken chain, so that's just a matter of taste. Our biscuits were a bit overcooked/dry, but we'd definitely try them again and see if it was just that batch.
Service was quick and friendly, and we were lucky to get a seat in the tiny dining room. We'd love to visit Herbie's again.
Maria Linn-Evans
If I could do half stars this would be a 4.5!
I think this is a great new addition to the vegan food options in the Twin Cities. The chicken was fantastic - super crunchy and very full of rich umami flavor. The mac n cheese with crispies on top was also great! The medium bucket was definitely enough for two people to share. The only part of the meal I didn't enjoy was the biscuit - it was really dense and not very flavorful. The wait was a bit long even on a slow Thursday evening, so I hope they're able to get they system working a bit quicker as they have more experience. Otherwise a great little place!
Laura Williams
If you want vegan chicken that is the best I've ever had go to Herbie Butcher's Fried Chicken. The chicken meal with tator tots and biscuits was "AWESOME"! Their vegan mac n cheese was also fabulous. When I got home I warmed everything up and it couldn't have been better. Next time I will try their coleslaw with the meal and get one of their desserts. Hopefully they will be open soon 7 days a week!👍❤😁
Phillip Nelson
The absolute BEST vegan fried chicken I’ve had since becoming vegetarian 4 years ago! 10/10 would recommend! Loved all of the food and their special sauce! The biscuit and maple butter also just melted in your mouth. Cannot rave enough about this place!
Luke LeBlanc
It can’t be understated how cool of a thing these folks are doing. The way we’ve produced and consumed food for such a long time has been beyond cruel to animals. Herbie Butcher is making these foods taste delicious while being entirely plant based - and they’re not pretentious about it either. If you’re a meat lover and reconsidering give them a shot. The world of Plant based food is incredible.
Food was amazing. Customer service was really friendly and the inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated.
Kudos.
Alec Paquin
this place rules. ROBUST vegan food. KFC style buckets are so tasty. the chicken is crispy and nicely seasoned. mashed potatoes are super creamy. the Nashville hot sauce is pleasantly spicy and a little sweet.
only a few places to sit, but that’s fine.
also, they were giving out free sundaes (made with coconut milk?) with bucket purchases when we went.
anders c
Not a vegan but loved the food. Clearly crafted with care. The chicken breading was superb. Stayed really crunchy even after being in the box for 30 minutes. Didn’t get soggy ever and never fell off the “meat.” Reminded me more of what you’d find on really good southern fried chicken than what you’re used to finding on a chicken strip, and that’s a good thing. The fake chicken had a decent texture but not much flavor. Didn’t matter though. It’s all about the breading and the dipping sauces. The sides were really great too. The biscuits especially, and I’m not a big biscuit guy. If you like fried chicken and soul food, you will like this place. Oh and you get a ton of food. The large bucket was enough for 4 meals. Worth the slightly high prices! Well done Herbie.
Dave Clark (Lisa and Dave)
I'm a little mixed. I really liked the food and was shocked it was vegan. Good going!! The mixed part is that there is only one small banner on the first page that says "enjoy our vegan plant based foods". After that, NOTHING says it's ALL vegan. Just says fried chicken all over the website and nothing to say that it was vegan. Little frustrated that it seems like a bait and switch. I really liked it and think you could be more up front about it.
Miguel Breceda
Great vegan option for KFC style that isn't kfc, parking can be a little rough, and the space is cozy. Def a to go option.
Olivia Rinock
The fried chicken and the biscuits are my favorite! The buckets come with tater tots, so I definitely recommend picking a different side if you want to try everything (though the tater tots ARE super yummy and crispy)! The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. Highly recommend!
Patrick Green
There aren't enough stars in the galaxy to leave a proper review. We went to Minneapolis over the weekend with one of main reasons being to try Herbie butchers fried chicken. we were not let down. We were blown away. This is the best tasting fried chicken I ever had in my life. just imagine the best fried chicken you ever had minus all the grease /tendons / ligaments . I can't talk about this anymore because I'm starting to drool and I'm about to cry because I want a 6piece bucket and can't find a door dasher that will deliver it to Chicago.
Tony Morrow
My dream restaurant come true. The fried 'chicken' has the perfect crunch - not soggy, not oily, not crumbly, just right. The biscuit is downright sinful, I wish my homemade biscuits were this good. The Mac N Cheese is heavenly. The Nashville hot sauce is absolutely the choice to go with the chicken - sour, sweet, peppery, and a bit of kick.
Corrin Swintosky
Went here about a week ago for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I've had my fair share of vegan chicken and the flavor this place offers beats all. The tots were unexpected some of the best I've ever had as well. Great staff and chill environment.
Toni Leonardi
Whoa!!! Let me first off out myself as a non-vegan. That being said, I’ve tried my fair share of meat substitutes and plant-based options. I need you all to know that this place has been THE BEST I’ve tried. My 11 year old son, who will call out something for being a poor imitation in a second, absolutely LOVED everything we had. We tried the medium bucket with honey mustard and BBQ sauces, mac&cheese and coleslaw, and then also had a chocolate malt.
Unfortunately, they were out of biscuits when we stopped by. However, I’ll gladly make the trip from the suburbs (I know, I know 🤢) soon again to give them a try. My kiddo scarfed down the mac&cheese is mere seconds. The chicken was coated beautifully with the best crunch my ears have experienced, and the coleslaw is unlike those cloyingly sweet ones places tend to serve. This was definitely on the more savory side! The sauces were absolutely delicious with amazing flavor, too!
But I need to tell everyone about the malt. THE MALT. I cannot recommend it enough. I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved the chocolate malt. LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. Dear lord. Praise be. I’m not the religious type, but I’m about 99.99% sure I had a religious experience when that delicious liquid came in contact with my tastebuds. Wow.
The staff was super friendly, and everyone in line seemed really excited to try the food. Truthfully, it more than exceeded my expectations, and I cannot wait to bring everyone I know here. 💚🌱

The second best fried chicken I've had in the twin cities and it was vegan! The mac and cheese was a little salty but the silky umami gooeyness of it(and the lack of lactose induced suffering) absolutely made up for that.
We were served quickly despite the fact that the restaurant was pretty busy. Absolutely worth the short wait. We'll be back!
Mysnikol Miller
The chicken and the sauces (sampled all of them) are tasty though the ranch tasted overly dilly like a tarter sauce. The biscuit and mac & cheez textures are great though the flavors are pretty plain. Tater tots were well seasoned without being over seasoned. And the strawberry milk shake with shortcake pieces is decent (the straws are way too small for milkshakes). Overall it was a cool experience and I enjoyed it. Good pricing for the portion sizes.
Aleksandra Jeffrey
This is a great place to have a vegan meal. I am not a vegan so this was a new experience for me. We tried the crispy chicken wrap, the crispy chicken sandwich and the Mac and cheese. I was not a fan of the food, but I have never had any vegan food before so i did not know what to expect. I am glad I had this experience, and at least tried this place, since there were great reviews. The person who helped us was very nice, I just wished the menu would say that this is a vegan restaurant, I knew this going in but for someone who didn't, it might be a shock.
Syric Carter
I can say that it tasted like chicken but just fried a little bit harder than I would have liked. It's a no for the macaroni. I think they forgot about the cheese. However, tater tots made up for this with taste and how much they gave.
Rob
I think this moves up the list to top vegan restaurant I had thought the Vegan fried chicken I had in Nashville would never be topped I was wrong. Coming from somebody who is not a vegan everybody should try this place.
Had a bucket, Mac and cheese and the tater tot base. I can't stress enough how good the food is here. Also the staff is super friendly and very welcoming.
Whitney Loher
I’ve been meat-free for 6 years and vegan for 3 years, and the only thing I have ever truly missed is fried chicken. The longing is over, because Herbie B’s hits the spot! Their vegan fried chicken is crunchy, tender, and flavorful, and perfectly pairs with all their homemade sauces. The mac, coleslaw, tater tots, and biscuits with maple butter were also all incredible. I can’t wait to try the malts!
The space is very small, so I’d recommend taking food to go. Their sauce cups and a majority of their takeaway containers are compostable too, which is amazing!
Joanna Cullen
After months of talking about trying this, we ordered delivery today via GrubHub. Got the 6 piece dragon dusted with tots and mac and cheese. Texture of the chicken is spot on and the dragon dust gave a nice kick. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely return.
Aaron D
Incredibly good vegan comfort food. The chicken sandwich was juicy, delicious, and had an amazing sauce. The mashed potatoes and gravy were better than any fast-food style restaurant.
Anthony Cary
Excellent vegan comfort food! The medium bucket could easily feed 3 people; the two of us couldn't finish it. Would go again, and definitely get ice cream next time.
Mary Alice Hutton
10/10 every time. Herbies is killing it! The chicken, Mac and cheese, shakes, BISCUITS, all so amazing. Don’t worry if you can’t finish it all, the chicken keeps and is even better the next day! Homemade sauces are fabulous too. Add a little sriracha to the Mac and cheese and BAM flavortown baby!
Tom Anderson
The chicken was delicious. It was tender and had great flavor. The sides were fresh and satisfying.
Megan Richardson
As a lover of all things thb, I had high hopes for our first experience here after having some of the vegan fried chicken at the state fair. It was a rather mediocre visit, waited 45 minutes for food after ordering. The tots were cold and the chicken was dry. Couldn’t get extra biscuits because they were short that day, elote side dish was meh. Mac was fabulous. They forgot to give us maple butter for biscuits, no one at counter to talk to and chef just looked at me and rolled her eyes… then the cashier came to search the bag/table to ensure there was no maple butter before giving to us. If you plan to dine in, don’t. I’m we used napkins for plates (which we had to ask for along with silverware for our sides). It should be advertised as a take-out only spot.
troy tomlinson
Soo. Good. Biscuits were incredible. Peanut butter milk shake was perfect.
Ben Janisch
Amazing, much better than most popular brands of vegan meat. Visited from milwaukee, will be sad to probably never have it again 😔 great biscuits too. Very fair price for everything you get too! 10/10.
Sean Lawrence
I cannot say enough good things about Herbie's! I'm so glad to have been able to eat their delicious food on opening weekend. Well worth a wait in line on a muggy day. The chocolate malt? Exquisite. The touch of coconut sent it over the edge for me. It was rich and delicious without being overly heavy and sweet like its dairy counterpart. The tots were exactly what you could hope for. Mac n cheese was superb. I would not have believed it was vegan. Sauces (butcher and honee mustard) were perfect compliments to the fare. And. The. Chicken. Tender, juicy, crispy, salty and seasoned. Made me wish I had more room in my stomach! Some might say that Herbie's running out of strawberry shakes and biscuits was a downside, but for me it is another reason to find an excuse to return. I hear they have a chicken biscuit sammie? Sign me up for next time
Nick Zeinemann
Great place! Small, a little pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for. The chicken was crispier and more filling than anything you get at other fast food places. And vegan too! Sauces seemed like they were all made in house. Tater tots are the best I’ve had! The biscuit was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great mac and cheese. I got a small bucket and a Buffalo chicken sandwich to split with someone and it was a ton of food. The sandwich was awesome as well. Staff were helpful and nice. Food came out fast. Definitely looking to come back soon!
Anna Maltby
For years I’ve longed for a spicy vegan chicken sandwich and today Herbie Butcher’s nailed it. The crunchy outside, juicy inside, soft bun and ranch sauce nearly had me weeping with gratitude. Other menu items that are amazingly tasty are any form of fried chicken, Butcher sauce, tater tots, biscuits and maple butter. Order extra. If you don’t you’ll regret it.
Liam Benson
The food here is awesome, and the service is always amazing. Super friendly workers, and this is without a doubt the best vegan fried chicken anywhere. Don’t know what is up with the mural on the wall inside though, it creeps me out.
Jeremy Lubell
Best vegan take out food I think I’ve ever had. So so delicious!!!!! And super friendly customer service. A++++
Tater tots, fried chicken wrap, 2 pc chicken bucket with biscuit. I wish they were closer to where I live.
Bratty Goddesses
Literally the best vegan fried chk I’ve ever had. I usually dislike it because of texture, but Herbie’s has mastered it for me. I love it!!!! Definitely must try…..and don’t forget the seasonal Mac
jesse james johnson
Enjoyed the chicken with the barbecue sauce and honee mustard. Thought the biscuits were good and especially with the maple butter. Mac and cheese was just as good as on their food truck (herbivorous butcher). The sandwiches are always a good option and the shakes are great in the summer. Must try for anyone open to eating a vegan meal or anyone not afraid of eating some tasty plants.
Mark Pettit
What the what?? I had a friend recommend this place to me. I'm actually really upset mow because I don't live here and I will really miss it. I don't know if I've ever had chicken and tots this good.
Teri Blank
So goood!! A must stop if your visiting and vegetarian/vegan.
Tim Evans
Love what they've got going on here on the whole--amazing faux-chicken, biscuits, and sauces. The maple butter is also spot on. My only gripe is that nobody in my family is a fan of their other sides options. The tots are good but too oily and salty to have as a main side without getting gut ache. The mashed potatoes are likely made with a powder base and have a from-the-box artificial taste to them that we all found really off-putting. We ended up not eating them. The creamed corn was okay, but nobody at our event wanted more than a small portion, so much of that also went to waste. We'd happily substitute those sides for more biscuits, but that's not an option since those are in high demand, which doesn't surprise me considering how the other sides fared with our vegan family. As much as we like the food here overall, we've been very hesitant to order buckets because we known we'll be stuck with sides we don't like and will toss out. If different--maybe lighter sides--were offered (collard greens?), we'd order from here a lot more often. Here's to hoping!
Laura Lyons
I'm not vegan but dabble in vegan eating because it's fun to support these adventurous businesses! I ordered the small bucket, expecting a pricey dinner for one, but between the massive pieces of chick'n and mountain of tots, it ended up being two solid meals for me! Taste and texture was spot on for fried chicken, but folks who say this will fool carnivores have to be kidding -- as soon as you look at the 'meat' itself you know it's not meat. It still tastes good though so who cares! The tots and maple butter were excellent. I'll concur with other reviewers that I couldn't get the biscuit to soften back up after pickup. The potatoes and gravy weren't my favorite, but I can be picky with gravy. My friends say they adore Herbie's potatoes and gravy so must just be my taste buds. Overall worth the price and definitely worth trying if you want to see that fried chicken can be made vegan!
Claire G
This isn't just great vegan food, it's great food period. My boyfriend, who eats meat, said it was some of the best fried chicken he had in his life. Portions are huge. We got creamed corn, mashed potatoes and biscuits on the side - all of which were incredible (the biscuits were heaven). Takeout was super quick, I think I waited 10 minutes on a Sunday evening.
Tiffany Cannon
We tried Herbie’s last night and it was fantastic! My husband is a vegetarian and I’m an omnivore. I was impressed by how much this tasted and smelled like fried chicken. The batter was crisp and even remained crispy today when we ate the leftovers. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wasn’t crazy about the sides. I ordered the mashed potatoes with gravy and the creamed corn. I really hoped for a slaw. The meal was rich and filling but needed some acid. A slaw would have made it perfect. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 small children) and ordered the large bucket. However, the medium would have been fine for us. There was a lot of food and it was filling. So glad to have this gem in South Minneapolis. We highly recommend it!
Thuy K.
Smells exactly like real chicken. We went within the first few weeks of their opening and they had run out of biscuits but made up for it with more chicken pieces, which was appreciated. The tater tots were very salty but that's the only downside. The chicken was absolutely delicious- fragrant, flavorful, perfectly crisp. Mac and cheese was the best vegan Mac and cheese we've had in the twin cities. I also enjoyed the Cole slaw. It was peppery and not too vinegary. Honey mustard was yum and their specialty sauce was a great creamy and tangy accompaniment. Cannot wait to go back.
Jaime Maki
Absolutely delicious! We got the medium bucket and a smashed bowl. The bucket ended up being enough food for 4 people. We ordered it for two and had tons of left overs. The chicken and tots were so crispy and the creamed corn was out of this world. My husband is a meat eater and even he loved it!
Apollo Macgregor
Decent. The sauce on the sandwich is strange. I'll be back.
...Was back. It's ok. I can't quite explain it, but I don't really like it; something with the grease. For being plant based, it's phenomenal and worth your time to check out for sure. Even if you are a die-hard meat eater, it's worth a try just for the experience.
Nicolette Thomas
I love my comfort food, dabbling into veganism and heard great things about this restaurant. The employees were very welcoming and my food came out quick. I ordered the jalapeno cheddar biscuit, smash'd bol and a pumpkin pie shake. I was very satisfied with the presentation of the food (the drawing on my shake totally made my day), taste and the amount of food. I highly recommend.
Kaylyn Spieker
I’ve wanted to try herbie chicken since they opened. Today was the day, I drove from Iowa and it was well worth it! I got a small bucket that comes with 2 pieces of chicken, tots (you get A LOT), a side (I got the mashed potatoes, yum), 1 sauce and a biscuit with maple butter. I got the Nashville hot sauce as I’ve been craving Nashville hot chicken since I stopped eating meat, it was delicious and spot on with texture (so crunchy) and flavor. By the way, the biscuits are the best I’ve ever had! I also got the Buffalo chicken sandwich (5 out of 5 - get that sandwich, it’s amazing) and original chicken sandwich (have yet to try, but can guarantee it’ll be awesome.) I had plenty of leftovers to bring home in the cooler. Give this awesome vegan restaurant a try if you are ever in the area or feel like a road trip like me.
Marta Siegfried
Cool spot with great vegan food. There are so many options on the menu so everyone can get what they’re looking for. They also offer some rotating items so that you can always try something new. Cant wait to go back!
Topher January
The staff at this establishment was absolutely wonderful. Coming from LA this was the number one spot on our to-do list! It is a must if you do not go here you are losing out!!!!!
Planty McPlanterson
It was my first time getting Herbie’s last night and it was amazing! I was the only vegetarian of my party of 4, but we all enjoyed it. In fact, it was their idea to get Herbie’s and it didn’t disappoint 3 meat-every-meal peeps! Each of the sauces was wonderful, and the consensus was that the butcher sauce was best, hands down. We got the mac and cheese (this was an additional wait of 20 minutes - wonderful communication about this - totally worth the wait) and the slaw and they were fantastic. I’ve never had real fried chicken, but just FYI the Herbie’s chicken is super filling. The staff was fantastic and fast, and I’m glad there were so many people frequenting it last night. I’m excited for the biscuits next time and tots. Thanks Herbie’s folks!
Jacob Tarnowski
Amazing food, the chicken honestly could have fooled me at first. The taste and breading and feel of it is perfect, once I take a bite and look at the texture of the crossection it's pretty obvious it's different but really the taste and basic mouthfeel is dead on. I also really enjoyed the Mac and cheese, and honestly didn't even make it to the tots and barely the biscuit because the chicken and Mac filled me up! We got a medium bucket for us two and had so much food leftover! Also got a malt which was amazing as well, lots of flavor options. Service was great and pretty quick especially with how busy they were. And honestly for the price it's just crazy, I highly recommend everyone vegan or not to try this out.
Anonymous B
If you're vegan and youre craving fried "chickn," this is the place. This is mine and my fiance's first time. We very much enjoyed the medium bucket, it really hit the spot and fixed our mouth watering cravings. Very impressive and delicious. A must! And yes, everything on the menu is vegan.
Ayah A.
I'm a meat eater but came along with some vegetarian friends to try this place out since it was so highly rated. I got the smash'd bowl and a peanut butter shake.
I thought the smash'd bowl was a good size. People complain that this place is expensive, but it seemed like pretty standard Minneapolis prices to me. Perhaps the shake could have been cheaper, but I'm also aware that oat milk is pretty overpriced which doesn't help their case.
I really loved my shake, but I'm a big fan of oat milk and oat flavors so for me I didn't even miss the milk and thought the oat flavors complemented the peanut butter well.
The "fried chicken" was SUPER crispy and well seasoned, I was really impressed. The actual seitan tastes kinda "meh" if you get a bite without the crispy coating, but I think that's just how seitan is. If you eat it "normally" it all comes together great. I found myself wishing there was more "chicken" in my bowl just because it was so good.
I was a little disappointed by my mashed potatoes, they weren't as creamy as I would like. I know it's possible to make really creamy vegan mashed potatoes at home by simply mixing in some of the starchy water from boiling the potatoes into the mash, but maybe this technique doesn't work as well "in bulk" as it does when I just cook for myself.
The other toppings on the bowl were interesting. I kind of wish the fake bacon flakes were not included, I felt they weren't that good and kind of detracted from the bowl (but I also don't like bacon flavor that much). I wonder what the gravy was made of, it has some sweetness to it that worked well with the rest of the bowl.
I don't think I'd come here on my own again, but if a vegan or vegetarian friend were in town I'd definitely take them here to try it.

I live in Charlotte, I came to MN to surprise my mother for her birthday yesterday. I eat a vegan diet so, when I am in town, my mom makes sure to find a vegan location to order from or dine in. The fried chicken bucket was interesting so, that's why we decided to order from Herbie. My mom went inside, I parked and then decided to go inside. We had already decided on mac n' cheese and coleslaw for our sides. I get inside and find out they don't serve either side during this time of the year. Mac n' cheese is a comfort food and it's freezing in MN but, it's served in the summertime we were told. The sides they serve during this time of year are, mashed potatoes w/ gravy, corn w/ bacon (faux of course) mixed in it and tater tots. I wasn't a fan of any of the noted sides. My mom chose the tater tots for my pops and an extra biscuit for the two sides. I felt like the person taking our order wasn't as warm as she could be. She seemed agitated because my mom (she's 76 yrs young) asked several questions about the menu options and may have asked the same question twice. We start to pay with cash, we are told they don't take cash. I may have missed it but, I did not see a sign letting patrons know. We pay with a card and leave. We got home, put the food in the oven to warm up. My parents and I enjoyed the food, the chicken was flavourful and crispy, the tater tots tasted like tater tots. The sauces were very good, we had the house (Herbie) sauce, ranch and a Nashville hot sauce. We didn't care for the cheddar jalapeno biscuit, the regular biscuit was good along with the maple butter that comes with it. The food was very filling, we enjoyed it.

Fried chicken was my favorite comfort food before I was vegan, so this place is amazing for me. I had a chocolate shake with whipped cream and a small bucket with Mac n cheese, with ranch dip. The butter for the biscuit is delectable. Perfect consistency shake. Crispy chicken breading with tender, hot and juicy inside. Ranch was great. I had a bite of my husband's chicken sandwich and wow. We will return. Even beyond and impossible burgers at a restaurant are usually $11+, so a $10 vegan fried chicken sammy is a deal! I was so full that I gave my Mac n cheese to my husband but he said it was good!
Anthony Sinnott
This is not the best but certainly among the best fried chicken I've had and it isn't even real chicken. The sauces are great, but order extra. The coleslaw was amazing, it was not overly sweet, it was wonderfully savory and tangy. The macaroni could use some work, but was at least passable. Didn't get to try the biscuits because they were out. I do wish there were more side options like mashed sweet potatoes, collard greens, something pickled, but I do appreciate a small menu if it means the food is consistent.

Great fried chicken sandwiches for the vegans.
Naomi H
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! I had high expectations, since this place is owned by the same people as Herbivorous Butcher and they did not disappoint! The "chicken" was flavorful and tender and the crispy outside was better tasting and crunchier than any that I've ever had. I think that whether you eat meat or are a vegan or vegetarian you will love the food here! Give it a try the next time that you are in the neighborhood!
Sara McClendon
Super delicious food! There were a lot of people standing out on the sidewalk waiting for their food, but thankfully the wait for food wasn’t long considering the line (15-20 minutes). The service was kind, and the food was DELICIOUS!
I wish the “meat” part of the chicken was a little less dense and more juicy, but WOW the breading. I haven’t eaten fried chicken in 10 over years, and the flavor and look of the breading was just spot on to how I remembered it being. The mac and cheese was also good, could’ve done with more sauce. And the slaw is probably the best I’ve every had. It’s more savory than slaws typically are. Can’t wait to go again!
Andrew Boraas
Its just sooooooo good, we split a xl bucket between 4 people and all happily had leftovers. The two none vegans even fought over the extra piece to have it for later. I just finished my left overs, and I'm already plotting for when I can get Herbie's again.
Katja Amyx
Went to Herbie Butcher’s Fried Chicken today with two companions. We each had a fried chicken sandwich with tater tots. I liked the sandwich. The “chicken” was tasty, tender, and had a texture very similar to chicken breast, though not quite as stringy. The breading was nice and crunchy, even though we took the food home before digging in. There were also plenty of excellent dill pickles in the sandwich – a big plus in my book. Because everything has been carry out or delivery only, the pandemic has made me acutely aware of how quickly French fries deteriorate into something I don’t want to eat. Today I was happy to discover that tater tots stay tasty and a bit crunchy on the outside for far longer. Today’s tater tots were also lightly seasoned, which was nice, but somewhat too salty, which was not. Probably could have been fixed with ketchup, but we didn’t have any at hand.
Overall, I enjoyed the meal, and I will probably eat at Herbie Butcher’s again, especially because I have family members and friends who are vegetarian or vegan. (It’s great when everyone in the party can order freely from the menu instead of having to grill the waiter about ingredients.) I might try the bucket of chicken next time because 1. It’s more focused on the chicken and 2. It’s an opportunity to try a side dish.
Logistic note: at this time (7/25/2021), Herbie Butcher’s Fried Chicken is only accepting walk-up orders. When we placed our order today, we were told it would be 10 - 15 minutes until it was ready, so we walked down the block a bit to chat in the shade and be farther away from the small crowd waiting near the order window. When we came back about 10-12 minutes later, there was a sign in the window saying that they were taking a 10-minute break from accepting new orders. Seems like the demand is so high that the restaurant can’t produce chicken fast enough to keep up. Luckily for us, we arrived while orders were being accepted and our food was brought to us within a minute of our return to the order window.

One of the things I missed most since cutting meat out of my diet was fried chicken, so I spent the better part of a month counting down the days for HFC to open. I woke up bright and early opening day and placed my order. The wait was long but so, so, worth it. I got the medium bucket because I knew I’d want leftovers. It was all amazing! I got the Mac and cheese, coleslaw, buffalo sauce and butcher sauce, and was surprised with tots on the bottom of my bucket that I was excited to try. Like I said, AMAZING. Even the next morning, my cold leftover fried chicken hit the spot. I wish I had gotten a larger bucket for even more leftovers 🤤
Cassy Dlugiewicz
We ordered a bit of everythy and brought it to a nearby park to eat picnic style and it was so delicious. Definitely kid approved (and my kids are very picky). Everything was so flavorful. The chicken was even super good cold straight from the fridge later that night. The malts are all super good, the vanilla one has a stronger coconut taste that comes through but I happen to love coconut. The peanut butter malt is also yummy.
Happy to have this new vegan spot - we will be back!
Brandon Shaw
My brother and I got takeout for his birthday because we heard great things. We were not disappointed! We got the large bucket with tator tots, biscuits, mac and cheese, and the bbq and Nashville hot sauces. Order came out very quickly. Granted there weren't many in front of us cause we went around 430. The maple butter for the biscuits was fantastic and easy to spread. The Mac and cheese was the best vegan Mac I've had. The breading was flavorful and not too greasy. The sauces both made for good dipping.
Loved it! Need need more vegan junk food like this place!
Kristin dela Cruz
Everything is Amazing!! We chose the large bucket with honee mustard, buffalo, and butcher sauce, tots and mac n cheese as our sides, chocolate shake, and a strawberry malt. They were all PHENOMENAL!! My husband was also very impressed. Thank you for another amazing vegan spot!! Can’t wait to bring family and friends, vegan or not everyone will love it!
Anna Rickert
Everything here is so good! I love the chicken, and I’ve now tried all the sides. I think the mashed potatoes and gravy are my favorite. Highly recommend this place whether you’re vegan or not.
Martika
Great food. Awesome service. Make sure your eyes are your tummy are on the same page because a little bit of this food fills u up fast.
Tish Painter
Second day open and had a long wait but was so worth it! The Mac-n-cheese was so creamy it melted in my mouth...and the chicken was flipping awesome!! The chicken was tender, juicy and the texture was just right. And the butcher's sauce was perfect on it! Oh!- and the tators were perfectly crispy. The biscuits were flakey, fluffy, and buttery goodness.
I was thrilled by the chocolate malt as I haven't been able to find a decent vegan one around here until now. Such a great place to go to have good food that I can actually eat...Thank you!!
Troy Bagley
It was a fun treat to be surprised by a family member as a dinner treat of biscuits and fried chicken to have as a second dinner at home. I really enjoyed the fried chicken, that tasted what I am used to, without the usual grease that I have come to expect, and same with the biscuits as well. I look forward to visiting their restaurant to try some other good stuff from the menu as well.
Howard Rosenberg
I was in Minnesota for a wedding in Walker so I just had to stop for some fried chicken on the way to the airport. The young woman behind the counter recommended the bucket. When I got to the airport I couldn't wait to try it. IT WAS THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN I EVER HAD VEGAN OR NOT!!! and the biscuit with maple butter was also delicious as were the potato taters. That was yesterday and I miss it already. Please come to south Florida.
christina marie Johnson
100% plant based!!! Have only ever gotten this for delivery but the food is out of this world! Definitely follow their Instagram for when they do special items for their menu! Most recently I got this chicken sandwich with blue cheese and I’m drooling about it right now as I type.
Alex Byrne
I had a vegan friend in town so I picked up Herbie Butcher’s for us to share and it was SO GOOD. As someone who eats meat, I was very impressed and would choose this over most fried chicken based on taste alone! Perfect for people who want to eat more plant based or love fried food in general.
Nicole Zach
They had such amazing vegan food! We were in town visiting our friend, but we'll definitely come back for more fried chicken next time we're here! I would definitely recommend checking them out! Even the meat eater with us loved the food.
Hannah Sheppard
I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever eaten a fried food item that tasted better than this. There is not other way to describe the utter perfection of this delicacy. Also the staff was fast, super friendly, and their ordering process was easy and quick. Herbivorous Butcher in general makes seitan with the best texture (never chewy or dense) and frying it just made it better. 10/10!
Catherine Johnson
Got the medium bucket with my husband. Since both going vegan, fried chicken was the one thing he missed. The mock chicken, Mac and cheese, tots, and cole slaw were all wonderful and satisfying. Looking forward to a future stop to include biscuits. They are so busy they ran out this time, but I hope they stay just as busy. Good eats!
Jeffrey Wright
The folks at Herbies really have created something wonderful here. A simple menu of buckets of fried chicken and sides that feels like a chicken joint.
And the food? Excellent across the board. They have nailed the fried chicken, offer excellent biscuits, all served through a service window in a little buckets. It’s perfect.
These guys clearly have worked a Kong time getting this right and far exceeded my expectations.
Highly Recommended
TRENT H
Excellent I am gushing about my order of lg Fried chicken, Which was completely vegan . Sides of Tots ,Cream bacon corn, Mash Potatoes and gravy, the biscuit butter Like none other will be being sent there by the wife
before I leave from my work side of town (South Mpls)..I'll Be Bach 4 surely
Sue Torkelson
I absolutely love this place! Bought a bucket and had lunch for a few days!
Tara Spear
This was so worth the wait! A medium bucket was more than enough for a friend and me, we ate just over half before needing to pack up the rest as leftovers. The chicken and tots were crispy and amazing, but the mac and cheese was also supreme, especially for being “just” a side. Can’t wait to come back again!
Cathy Cozad
Huge hit for our family! We place a walk-up order drive 20 minutes home and everything was still hot, fresh, crispy and indulgent!
Highly recommend using an Airfryer to reheat the fried goods!
Pro tip: A six piece order for a family of four is plenty
Mike Behrends
Absolutely delicious fried chicken joint. The vegan chicken is crispy, crunchy, juicy, and sooo flavorful. Mac and cheese is super savory and comfortable. Tots feel like they came from the best appetizer basket at your favorite Minneapolis dive bar. What a great addition to the South MPLS food scene. I will be back again because I gotta try that fried-chicken-betwixt-a-biscuit thing they were advertising on their takeout window. 5/5
sara bosely
HUGE portions, crispy flavorful ch*cken, the best mac n cheese I've had in a long time, super yummy dipping sauce and oh that maple butter slathered biscuit! We got a large bucket and it was enough for 3 people easily. Can't wait to go back!
Nikki Pariz
Very yummy!! The chicken is crisp and flavorful, I’d say the portioning is very generous. Me and my boyfriend both got the small buckets and we could not finish our food haha. I also wish the Mac and cheese was more flavorful.. still good tho!
Meghan
It's the best vegan chicken I've had so far! The butcher sauce and maple butter were also delicious. The mac & cheese was kind of bland but overall, I recommend eating here. There wasn't a long wait and staff was friendly. 😊 …
Madeline Grove
If I could give this place six stars, I would!! Tbh the chicken tasted like meat chicken, but better! Also the tots were straight up fire. My partner and my mom and I went yesterday, and we’re still talking about it today. We never felt aware of eating meat substitutes, it was simply delicious food. Also, I would like to dedicate a huge shout-out to the fried chicken cripsies that you can get on the mac and cheese, we loved them :)
Chris James
I couldn't recommend this place more I've been dairyfree for 4 years and Herbie Butcher offer dishes I hadn't dreamed I could eat again! I'm not gonna lie I might have shed a tear over the chocolate shake, the actual chicken and sides is probably the best vegan comfort food I've ever had! The concept alone is incredibly innovative and challenged my view of how appealing vegan food can be.
Dana D'Amico
Finally had a chance to try this place now that they deliver! Not vegan, but was interested in this concept. The small (2 piece bucket) I'd say is enough for two people. Everything tasted great except, unfortunately, for the cole slaw -- I couldn't place it because it wasn't quite vinegar or "buttermilk" based, but I think adding sugar could help? If they reworked the cole slaw, it'd be the complete package.
Gabriel Pass
100% vegan classic fried chicken bucket?! That's what's up! But better tasting than any chicken you've ever had! Amazing sauce, and the best biscuits and tots you ever had!
Josephine Stafford
OMG! This is the most delicious fried chicken I’ve ever had (and the sides were above average). If you think eating plant based is boring, get yourself a bucket and get your mind changed immediately. So glad to have this option for “fast food vegan” fare!
Torvald Odegaard
Got a large bucket, Mac and cheese, and tots with butchers sauce, honee mustard, and buffalo sauce. Chicken is delicious, with crispy and perfectly seasoned breading. The Butchers sauce is like YumYum sauce, the buffalo sauce was everything I've been wanting in a vegan buffalo sauce, and the biscuits are perfect. Exactly as fluffy as you want, with the crisp bottom your grandma always managed but yours never quite get right. The Mac and cheese is the same served at the main Herbivorous Butcher's shop in northeast.
Had the Mint Newman-O's shake and it didn't last the 10 minute drive back to my house because it was so delicious.
Even if you're not Vegan or vegetarian I highly recommend this as one of the best chicken places in Minneapolis.
Deanna Rodriguez
This is a clever place. Vegan, yes, healthy, haha
Everything was a little salty for this healthy eater. The coleslaw is great over steamed broccoli. The biscuits were bomb! Plus maple butter. Well worth a whirl especially for this traveler.
Melissa Servais
Yumbotron! Went on opening weekend, waited in line for 90 mins and it was WORTH IT. I don't know what kind of sorcery they're using to make such perfectly seasoned, crispy, juicy, tasty vegan chik'n, but WOW it's incredible. My friend & I split the medium bucket (chosen sides were mac & cheez and coleslaw), plus each got a chocolate malt (best dairy-free malt ever), and it was more food than we could handle. They were out of biscuits but I couldn't have eaten another bite anyway, though I do look forward to trying those soon. SO excited to have this amazing new vegan restaurant on the South side - even more excited to see the huge crowd who showed up, everyone was so patient & kind. Whether you're vegan or vegetarian, looking to reduce the amount of animal products you consume regularly, or just plain hungry, give this place a try and see just how delicious and comforting cruelty-free eating can be!
Laura Fox
I got the Large six piece bucket with coleslaw and mac n cheese. Coleslaw and mac n cheese are decent. I didn't think I would like the Butcher sauce but I was surprised. It's like a sriracha mayo with less spice. The ranch is decent, tastes tangy more like a bleu cheese ranch to me. The chicken is delicious and filling. The breading does stay on. I wish they had chicken fingers as an option. I loved the shake I got. Chocolate base with peanut butter oreo cookies mixed in. Filling - I couldn't eat much after best drinking it. All in all it was delcious! It would also be good if they had more side options like greens or sweet potaroes.
Jeffrey Du Vernay
This place is amazingly good. Got the chicken sandwich (comes with tots) and it was so delicious and on point. I do wish they were open more than just Thursday thru Sunday… I was visiting Minneapolis and didn’t realize this (my fault), and had already had a Sunday lunch elsewhere… Went there a couple hours later for second lunch because it was my only opportunity to go… 😂. No regrets. Will definitely be returning to this place the next time I’m in town.
Mari H-E
The chicken and its breading were really good! The biscuits were delicious as well. I wasn’t a fan of the Mac and cheese though as I thought it was too bland. Overall, the food was tasty and affordable.
kenisha Fearon
The food is amazing. Sadly I can't indulge anymore because I have a gluten sensitivity 😭 …
Leah Dix
delicious!! best vegan chicken and fun to take out to the park for a picnic :)
Matthew Cihak
We've been a fan of Herbivorous for a long time. Was very excited to try this place. For a birthday, we drove 4 hours one way to try this food. WORTH. THE. DRIVE. We were blown away at how delicious and flavorful everything was. Definitely going to have to make that drive more often!
Nicholas Sheppard
So amazingly delicious. We drove up to Minneapolis from Milwaukee to visit some friends but, I’d drive back just to eat here! The chicken was so crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside. We will most definitely be back!
Mark B
A+ for effort. Coleslaw, dips, butter, taters and bun are tasty, as is the chicken. Unfortunately, the thinnest, most heavily breaded, deep fried pieces taste the best. Proof you can be vegan and still work towards coronary artery disease.
Emily Gunderson
Chicken and biscuits with butter is amazing!! Mac n cheese not that great.
Edit: changing my review because they increased the prices by a couple dollars. It is already pricey and they’re already making so much money. Also I was the first person in line and still had to wait 15 minutes for my food. The first order of the day should never take that long!
T. Meyer
Chicken is really good! We also had the biscuits and toys, which are delicious. The Mac and cheese is very bland, maybe kids would like it but I would not eat it again. I reccomend splitting meals, it comes with a lot and is expensive. The only drinks are bottled. No tables, only takeout.
b. Satchell
I really dig it! They are always coming up with something new and tasty. We tried to bbq chicken sandwich and the buffalo chicken. Both were super tasty! Make sure you grab some biscuits!
paige
came here on my birthday for the first time and absolutely loved it!! delicious food and wonderful staff!! can't wait to come back!
Be Fit
The best vegan fried chicken I have ever had its crisp but not dry and very well seasoned. the Mac and cheese is so delicious as well.
Alisha L W
DELICIOUS! Vegan everything! So much like chicken, I had to pause before eating it!
Breading is crunchy & full of flavor, texture is spot on! Super filling & satisfying!
The tator tots are everything I dream of tator tots being!
Mac & cheese is exactly what I was hoping for when I think of macaroni & cheese to go with fried chicken!
Cole slaw was zesty & tangy, a great balance & compliment to the meal!
We tried honey mustard, bbq, & butcher sauces - & could not pick a favorite, they were all so yummy!
The biscuits were gone before I got there, so that's a great motivator to go back, if I needed any more reason!
Bill Casey
The food is absolutely fantastic, no complaints at all. Great customer service as well. Only thing I didn’t like was when I first came here I didn’t know it was a Vegan restaurant so beware. If your a meat eater like myself this is still a great place to try.
John Tarancon
Came highly recommended by friends who are local. Awesome fried chick"n, the Mac and cheese was fantastic (added chick"n crunchies), tons of good food and probably the cheapest meal we've eaten this week while visiting.
Jon Peterson
I’m an omnivore who loves good (real) fried chicken. I gotta say, for vegan ingredients, this is really impressive stuff. You might forget you’re eating fake fried chicken! It’s pretty solid—worth checking out.
Pavel Ushakov
Absolutely Delicious!!! The breading on the chicken is just outstanding, perfect crunch, spice, smell. Loved it! The strawberry milkshake was also very good.
Allen Eastlund
I love the buffalo seitan sandwiches here so much, excellent with blue cheese sauce
Samuel Spenader-Roark
As a lifelong vegetarian, I'm pretty thrilled to be able to get a bucket of fried chicken for the first time. It's tasty, sauces are good, and the biscuits are fantastic!
Nancy Sramstad
This food was absolutely fantastic. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 50 years and I’m loving all this new food ... the chicken was so delicious and flavorful... the malt is way better than Dairy Queen’s and I can’t wait to try the other items. No wonder there’s always a line...
Elliott Niblock
Got the spicy bleu fried chicken sando. Whether herbivorous or carnivorous, regardless, probably in the top 10 fried chicken sandwiches I've had either way. Glad I dropped by.
Alyssa Carnahan
The chicken is soooo good. Perfect crunch and texture. Great value too, a large bucket is more than enough food for 2 adults. We will be regulars for sure!
nicolas olston
The chicken, biscuits, totes, and shakes are so good! Menu was nice and small making ordering super easy. It was completely worth waiting in line. I will be back regularly!
Jash
Delicious! I’ve been vegetarian for half my life and this restaurant really tops a lot of plant based restaurants in the area. I got the chicken sandwich with the tots, my mouth exploded with flavor! 10/10
Paul Johnson
Wow. Meat eater here, living with two vegetarians. We had two vegan guests staying with us and the large bucket fed all of us with leftovers. So flipping good.
Anna Kuehn
The chicken sandwich and the Tots were the best...the bucket (the chicken, mac and cheese, coleslaw, biscuits) was just ok. The Modern Times hot sauce was spot on.
Sarah Beasy
Amazing vegan food that even non-vegans will love! Every item on the menu is delicious and satisfying. I would greatly recommend for anyone who is looking for a place that everyone will enjoy.
Katie Krebs Howlett
Yum so good!! Thumbs up from the all the vegans and non-vegans in my family. The texture and taste of the chicken was outstanding.
Michelle Jordan
This far exceeded my expectations! Tastey and filling, it fully satisfied my fried chicken craving. I got extra sauces, and they were all delicious too. Well done!
Emma Nelson
so good!!! definitely worth the wait. mac and cheese and tots were great too! the texture of the chicken was very realistic - we will be back!
RK Olson
Texture and flavor of everything (except the coleslaw) was great. Ranch and butcher sauce were very good. Will definitely return
Melanie Shafer
Great spot for vegan comfort food. Amazing staff!!
Jeuss Tier
Foods amazing but they removed all the items that really made it a great “fried chicken place” (mashed potatoes, cream corn, gravy, etc)
Mike T
The chicken was good and the biscuits were good. The sides were disappointing. They need some sort of real vegetable side, like green beans or something.
Surbhi Madia Barber
This food is a DREAM come true- such a treat!! All of it. I cannot believe it’s all vegan. DELICIOUS. Eat healthy all day long before you go so you can truly indulge- such a treat!!
April Palmer
Amazing vegan chicken!! The taste, texture, and flavor was even better than I had hoped for. A wonderful addition to the plant-based community.
alberto salazar
The service was quick and friendly, I have never had a better vegetarian sandwich in my life I highly recommend to anyone wanting a some good vegetarian chicken!
Tyler Brewton
Best plant-based Fried Chicken. A weekly stop for the family.
Stephanie White
Amazing vegan chicken, tator tots, and biscuits! We do miss the jalapeno biscuits 😢
Cory Lockington
This place has the best fried vegan chicken that I have found. Everything was excellent.
lisa jensen
OMG!!!!! So very tasty. I ordered the two piece, biscuit and Cole slaw. I had it for lunch and dinner. Even better 6 hours later. Yum 😋 …
Kathryn Knoer
The food is amazing! The chicken was perfect! Mac and cheese was pretty darn good, too! And it was pretty quick to get our food!!
Nathalie Johnson
Say what? Plants like this. Climate change be damned we can do it we get end animal products and save ourselves. I believe Herbie's makes it possible. Feel the love Minneapolis.
ivan johnson
Got the large bucket for a family of 3, everything was super tasty and pretty close to the real thing. Highly recommend to vegans and non vegans!!!
Tennille Gibbs
This is the best vegan fried chicken I have ever tasted in my life! I would drive to Minnesota just to go there it is that good😋😋😋😋😋😋
Sydney Grace
Their food is incredible but their hours are the worst. It is so frustrating that you cannot order food past 6 pm even though they close at 7. This is the third time they have lost business from me by being a minute too late to order.
Megan Wika
Absolutely delicious and honestly an incredible value! I was blown away. Such a tasty meal.
Alana J
Food for everyone and a dream come true veg/vegans. A beacon of hope and proof of plant possibilities and power. And those biscuits...wow, bravo and thank you!
Jennifer Osman
I had the chicken sandwich with mac and tator tots. The tots have a great seasoning! Everything was DELICIOUS!! Can’t wait to try the biscuits next time!
M D
You're vegan because you love animals. I'm vegan because Herbie's fried chicken got me acting up. We are not the same.
Michael Kraft
Man the smash bol tho...LIT!
Those malts too. Deelish
Jacqueline Jeppesen
Great place! Tasty and a ton of food. Will be going back.
Braden Estenson
Amazing place, super happy to have a great vegan fried chicken joint, even better that it has great sauces and Mac and cheese!
Matthew
SO mind-bendingly good; just delicious! I can't wait to see how your business's grow! Thank you Aubrey & Kale! 🌱❤
Just Jo
That vegan chicken is 🔥🤯❤️👏 also big thx to Andrai for a great 1st experience at this spot👌 …
Heather Loveland
I found this place by accident and now have no idea how I have lived without it! Crispy and flavorful fried ‘chicken’- amazing sauces!
Pettynerd
Tastes like chicken! A lot of food for the money.
Allison Reinke
Just what this vegetarian was was craving! And so much food too! I especially liked the coleslaw.
Lynn Morrell Johnson
So good! Want to go back again. Enjoy the plant based chicken. Everything was delicious.
Alex Chase
They know what they are doing! Everything was delicious. The biscuit is life changing.
Sammy Nyquist
The best chicken that I have ever had, and it wasn’t even real chicken! Took a while to order, but it was totally worth the wait.
Steven Debrincat
Not sure why there's no option to get the 'chicken' without the sides. The 'chicken' was good but the sides were average at best.
lucy e
The customer service was excellent and the food was amazing! We had a big order, but for the amount of food and the cost, it was well worth it.
Dillon Sailer
The v-chicken is always great, but I can't get over how awesome the sides are
William First
I wish I had one in my city. All that needs to be said.
Amber Orvis
Best vegan fried chicken & Mac N cheese I've ever had!!! Even meat eaters would approve
Jodi Williams
I literally don’t know what to say. Phenomenal. All of it. first plant base malt I’ve loved. Amazing job, Herbie team!
Thomas Bath
wow.... delicious mock chicken. we got the medium bucket. tater tots were yummy
Yasmine Ghanem
Amazing. Best vegan chicken I’ve ever had, and everything else was just as delicious.
Archibald Chuzzlewit
Great spot for vegan food with a small area for dining in.
Nick Cross
Make sure you get some Tots!
margaret
food came quick and workers are really nice! the only downside was everything was really salty and not really seasoned besides salt…
Aaron B
The bucket of chicken was bomb bro! Tots? Bomb, bro! Mac & Cheese? Bomb, bruh!
Erin Lord Kunz
A must-stop when we're in MPLS. There is no other place like it.
Chetan Saraf
Nice place, good meatless place. We ate there itself.
Sam Crosby
So impressive! None of could believe the maple butter was vegan. So good!
Itaska Rountree
Good staff clean store and good professional staff

Fantastic plant-based lunch at a good price. Two thumbs up!

You had me at hello. I'm head over heals for you. By far the best vegan food! Buy it all!

Good food. Not cheap, but probably ordered more then we should have for 2.
Kerry Sovell
Loved the large bucket meal. My kids and I loved everything!!

Best fried chicken ever, completely blown away by everything on the menu!
Meghann McAllister-O'Day
Believe the hype, this is sooooo good. Don't be daunted by the lines. Portions are very generous.
Dr. Tippins
Other than standing in the looking line & waiting in the blistering heat, the food was exceptional 👌 😋 & worth the wait. 💯💫💥
Mares Anderson-Duggan
The one and only place to get a delicious vegan fried chicken!
Tyler Duffy
crisp vegan chicken that you won't believe is vegan.
TYBO
I would return to Minneapolis just for a bucket of herbie fried chicken
