Trio Restaurant Cape Girardeau, MO — Restaurant in Cape Girardeau

I have a consistent habit of waking up in a hotel, picking up my phone and just searching Google Maps for "vegan food near me". I didn't actually expect anything to stand out while in Cape Girardeau, but I was pleasantly surprised to find Trio. The restaurant itself is pleasant with window seating and a cool atmosphere, and when we arrived the owner introduced himself to my wife and I. There seemed to be a new staff member in training who he was working with, but they were both very friendly and polite and made some recommendations and offered assistance should we need it and promptly entered out order. We both ordered house drinks that were at our table quickly, and the turn around time for the kitchen was very good.

I personally went with the Earl Grey tea drink that had subtle hits of berry and vanilla and was served in a French press. Our food was incredible. While I'm vegan, my wife is not and is usually unsure about trying fully plant based dishes but she was thrilled with the sweet potato tacos she had. I had the breakfast tacos and biscuits and gravy and loved both. I also finished off my wife's tacos and found them to be just as good.

Cool vibes, friendly owner and staff, the restaurant is very clean as is the kitchen that you can see into, food was quick and fresh, and their custom spin on traditional drinks were all good. Definitely something I'll be eating next time I...

You have many reasons to pick Trio as your next culinary experience!

The food is incredible! Everything I've eaten there so far has been delicious and fresh!

They offer multiple ways to enjoy their food. You can dine in, take out, or even order on your favorite delivery app!

All the food is made with absolutely NO animal product. That means no meat, eggs, honey, milk, etc. For those who think you can't have good vegan cheese, I recommend you order the Macho Nachos. The cheese on it is fabulous!

The team who runs the establishment is professional, friendly, and helpful! They can recommend things to you if you can't decide.

The building is cute! It's lovely to have lunch by the window, especially in warmer weather.

You're supporting local business, which is good for the environment, good for the city, and good for the soul!

The prices, while not budget, are nevertheless fair and not outlandish! I was greatly surprised that you can get food of this quality for the price. In our current economy, you can spend more money at Olive Garden for worse food.

You get an opportunity to taste food that you can't get anywhere else! I'm grateful to be able to try things like jackfruit pulled pork and cashew cheese!

You really can't go...

Dirty floor, with an even dirtier guy going from table to kitchen. The guy is in basketball shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Just eating his food and casually going to the kitchen and talking to employees. Unprofessional is an understatement. No obvious sense of feel and flow for the space. The owner somehow managed to make a small dining room smaller with the layout. Obvious lack of logic as they have two cameras in one corner, facing the same direction.

This is just the beginning. I knew I should have checked the place out before ordering online.

Ordering online said food would take 20 minutes. Didn’t mind the wait, usually good food takes time to make. Once I got in, cashier said they “didn’t see” my online order. There was no one in the restaurant, so that tells me they’re just f’ing around in the back. Workers are either incompetent, or the owner has no idea how to setup her network, or is too cheap to hire someone to do it right.

Will never come back. It’s been 40 minutes since placing my order and still no food. It really is unfortunate, this place had such promise. No amount of quality food will bring me back.

Unfortunate for vegans in Cape Girardeau. This place shouldn’t be one to put their stamp of...
