Mike BrunetteJune 17, 2012Don't let the vegan thing put you off. The food is fantastic. Grow a pair and try something different. You won't regret it.
Janet SpeerMay 12, 2019Since I have a gluten sensitivity I can't drink. The house made root beer is fabulous. Try the Brussels sprouts appetizer. Nice heat on those. The BLT Salad was really delicious.
Brian GainesAugust 21, 2016Had lunch here with the family. So many selections for a vegan and that's great. Great beer too. Outdoor seating, friendly service.
- MarcosJanuary 4, 2017This is a great place! The selection of 10 beers for "test drink" is amazing! The beer with Vanilla taste is my preferred!
Sarah B.December 16, 2012Food is awesome! The special brownie is hands down the best dessert I've ever tasted. Well done, Pig Minds! Can't wait to come back for the beer.
Nicko M.September 8, 2017The BBQ Porky Sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in my life (vegan or otherwise)
Rick EcksteinMarch 11, 2016The beer was pretty good. Would like some non-vegan options on the food menu.
Services wasnt great that day, but they seem constantly understaffed, but the food is amazing and their brews are amazeballs.
- Try the Asian slaw - it's simply delish. The truffled sweet potato fries are pretty awesome, as well
- The cajun wedges are awesome. Baked, not fried, and the remoulade was a perfect dipper.
Jon LarssenSeptember 19, 2012Their sweet potato truffle fries with garlic aioli and wasabi cream was amazing!
- Brian GainesAugust 21, 2016Don't get the nachos appetizer, then the tostadas like I did, lol. They taste too similar. Change the category of your main entree.
Vegan food selection available - no meat to speak of. But great craft beers!- First glass of Isolation IPA from the barrel ! Damn good!
- You know you're at a vegan joint when they offer "Humus of The Day."
- If you're a hummus person, it is one of the better ones I've had.
Regina Williams-ClemonsAugust 4, 2012Pig Minds is awesome!!! All I know is to tell you to check it out for yourself.
