What a terribly sad experience. We got there 10 minutes after opening and there were no tables. We were told we could not sit outside because of staffing. After about 30 minutes of waiting - the staff had allowed two other parties to get drinks and go outside. After another 20 minutes the staff said they would seat us in the back. Our food came out one item at a time - starting with one order of cold fries. My meal never came. After two hours of being there - we got a Togo box for my child’s meal, my food still didn’t come, no manager came to help. It was a terrible experience. I had to request my bill be adjusted to remove the food they never brought - and when we were leaving the patio was full of people eating - where I was told my family couldn’t. This was our first and last time every going there. I couldn’t be more heartbroken because I thought this place had potential - but I left hungry, tired, and mistreated.

My favorite place! Great people, great food, great beers. If you show up often enough, they might just name a beer after you! 😏🍻 Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Carrot Cake
This is my first negative review. My recent experiences at Pig Minds, the only vegan restaurant in our area, have left me with mixed feelings. While the food consistently impresses with its delicious flavors and the convenience of not having to scrutinize ingredients, the decline in service has unfortunately overshadowed the positive aspects. Over the past three visits, my family and I were met with inattentive and seemingly disinterested waitresses. Despite the restaurant not being overly crowded during these times, the level of service we received was disappointing. There appeared to be an ample number of servers, but our assigned one consistently failed to engage with us proactively. On multiple occasions, we had to remind the waitstaff about requests we had made, only to find that they had forgotten or neglected to fulfill them. Unfortunately, our server did not check in frequently enough for us to address these oversights, leading to a less-than-pleasant dining experience. The tipping point came during our last visit when, frustrated with the lack of attention, we decided to box our entrees to take with us instead of enjoying them in the restaurant. The overall vibe created by our waitress made us feel unwelcome and undervalued as patrons. It's important to note that Pig Minds stands out as the sole vegan dining option in our area, offering a haven for those who prefer a plant-based lifestyle. The restaurant's commitment to providing a menu free from animal products is commendable, and the absence of the usual interrogation about ingredients is a significant plus. Regrettably, despite the enticing menu and the convenience of a vegan haven in the neighborhood, my family and I have decided not to return to Pig Minds. We hope that the management addresses these service issues to ensure that patrons can fully enjoy the restaurant's culinary offerings without reservations about the service quality. The music was a bit loud as well. It wasn't live music but it could have been. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

We came to celebrate our dad’s birthday and it was a success! Upon entering we were greeted fast and our drink order was taken in a timely manner. One of Our drinks came out wrong , but someone else in the table took it, so it was fine . Our dad is very picky when eating out. He likes to eat very healthy food at home (smoothies, no fat, no sugar, no salt etc) so if he eats anything that isn’t very healthy, his stomach won’t settle well. We picked this place because of the blt quinoa salad for him, and me being a vegetarian I didn’t mind at all. We all shared the stuffed jalapeño poppers and loved them! My sibling and I had the same burger deluxe, I upgraded my fries to a side salad which was delicious! My other sibling had the fried chicken garlic sandwich and she liked it, and my dad had the BLT quinoa salad, he was impressed! He LOVED it, said he hasn’t “had a salad like this one”. We also had dessert and although my dad loved the peanut butter brownie, the rest of us thought it was okay. The vibe of the place is fun and they have fun industrial decor as well. We went on a Tuesday early afternoon so it was t packed, but I can see this place getting very busy and parking being an issue, so arrive a bit earlier if going on the weekend . Service was good, friendly and knowledgeable although I feel he could have paid attention a bit more, he was chatting with the people at the bar so it would take him a couple extra minutes to check on food and bring desserts out. We definitely recommend Pig Minds and I will be back soon for my bf to try! 😉 5 out of 5⭐️ Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Jalapeno Poppers

We had some really good food here today!! The pizza is really good, crust was the perfect amount of crunchy/crispy on the bottom and perfectly pillow soft on the inside. The sauce was fresh tasting and not the least bit bitter, good toppings. If you are a huge amount of cheese on your pizza person this is not for you. And I will say generally are the big cheese pizza people, but there was just enough to hold the toppings on, but it was not missed and the vegan pickle egg rolls are out of this world. Sounds strange but OMG so yummy!!!! Beers were good they have more hop forward beers. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
