Dinner Atmosphere - Edit
Vegan restaurants that feel like a more upscale dining experience are few and far between, but Frida's delivers. There are tons of options. It has a great selection, and doesn't rely on fake meats and substitutions, instead creates scratch-made fillings like their sunflower taco meat.

Vegan options are decent - Edit
I was really excited about the vegan filet mignon. It was super salty & not very meaty/dense. The black bean burger was good. Fries were okay. Needed to ask for extra sauce for the coconut curry bc it had no flavor. Appetizers were very small (especially the artichoke). Drinks were great.
Read moreAll in all, I was hoping for a lot more flavor for the amount of money we spent. Prob won’t be going back. We added salt to everything except the steak.

I 100% agree about the curry! I wish I’d thought to ask for extra sauce.

Friduhs - Edit
Duh, as in you have to check it out. Appreciate that the fries are oil free, but they’re a bit dry. The house made ketchup kind of makes up for that though. The mushroom Swiss burger really is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, vegan or not. It’s smoky and savory. The salted caramel gelato is superb as well.

Horrible service - Edit
They have eliminated personal service. All ordering electronically.

Wait staff un-helpful, almost non-communicative, in explaining this unusual ordering system.
I know the owner has to make money but this was bad!

Nice place - Edit
I liked this place, and I love how in their menu they specify that everything’s vegan unless they mark it with “dairy” or similar. I had their signature burger and it was good but I wasn’t expecting the phish-like flavor😲also the employees were really nice!

3.5 - Edit
I want to start off by saying that they make amazing latkes, which are not part of their regular menu but have been offered every once in a while - grab 'em if you get the chance!
Read moreAs far as their regular menu is concerned, it is a bit underwhelming. It's mostly burgers and sandwiches, which might be okay for lunch, but I definitely don't find myself thinking about Frida's when it comes to dinner. The main focus of most entrees seems to be imitation meat, with a Beyond burger priced at a whopping $15. I am not a huge fan of their desserts either.
I do commend them for their composting efforts and "green" containers.
Pros: Cute area, Seem environmentally invested
Cons: Mains=lunch food, Desserts, Pricey

Amazing food and service! - Edit
I have been to Frida’s many times over the past couple years. Everything I’ve tried there has been very tasty and well prepared. The service is always top notch. The atmosphere is great if you are able to eat there. We love sitting outside on their little patio. My favorite is the Impossible Burger. My husbands favorite is the sunflower meat tacos. This is a must try!
Read morePros: Excellent food, Variety of choices, Great service

Glad to have this option - Edit
We did not receive the two desserts we paid for when we picked up our curbside order, but we were so pleased with the entrees that it took a week for us to remember we'd been looking forward to that peanut buttery goodness. Oh well...bonus for them and we were fully satisfied with our main course.

Good vegan options - Edit
So far this is the most comprehensive vegan food I've had in St. Louis despite some drawbacks. I got the mushroom Swiss burger and substituted for vegan cheese and it tasted amazing. I'm going to get it again soon. I also got the peanut butter cup and roasted brussels sprouts. The peanut butter cup was too sweet and the texture was off-- both the base and topping had the consistency of ganache, I was expecting a solid peanut butter cup but overall the flavor was okay. The brussels sprouts had good flavor but were kind of soggy. I'm going to eat here again and try some different menu items. I would give 4 stars but the food is overpriced for what it is.
Read morePros: Lots of options are vegan or can be made vegan
Cons: Expensive, Not all vegan, Hit or miss depending on item

Nothing special, haven’t perfected vegan cuisine - Edit
We have eaten at vegan restaurant across the world and this one was underwhelming. We got the Frida burger, kale salad, and enchiladas. All of which were lacking something or had too much of something. I would not eat here again

Great place to eat - Edit
I feel like this place is good but overpriced. I wasn’t a big fan of the oil free fries. I know they are healthier but they were okay. I would skip them next time.

Vegans beware of dairy - Edit
I wanted to like Frida's since it's a vegetarian restaurant, but it's been a pretty bad experience from the time they opened and the 20 or so times I've given them another shot. There's only 2 salads we enjoy and nothing else on the menu we've found that we like... everything is extremely bland to us. The biggest problem is the frequent mix-ups getting dairy in the vegan dishes we ordered. The dairy mix-ups happened frequently enough that we finally just quit going. The staff has been decent, but I'm not a fan of the way I've been treated by the owner. Disappointing to learn she's opening another restaurant - and one selling meat at that. There are so many great veg options in St. Louis - Frida's is not one.

Delicious and So Accommodating! - Edit
We arrived at Frida’s after nearly two full days of driving and my 8 month old daughter was quite grouchy. They were so hospitable and let us sit in the waiting room area (there are tables in there) so she wouldn’t bother other diners and stress us out. The lady that I’m assuming is the owner even came over to try to cheer my daughter up and let my husband and I enjoy our evening. On top of the amazing service that made us feel so welcome and comfortable, the food was fantastic too! My husband got the Frida burger and I got the enchiladas, and we split a chocolate almond torte for dessert. So yummy!!! The dessert was on the pricey side at $8 for a small slice but it was delicious. I would highly recommend Frida’s, and will be back next time I visit St. Louis!!!
Read morePros: Vegan options clearly labeled, AMAZING service- so welcoming!, Delicious and well sized portions

good food, nice people - Edit
Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable. We had the vegan enchilada and a 'build my own' Frida burger. Both excellent. The enchilada was nicely presented and had great flavor. I could taste why the Frida burger was an award winner. Coupled with vegan cheese, it was great. The decor was modern and clean.

Everything is marked for allergies, vegans and oil free. Lots of options that can be made vegan and the desserts are vegan too ❤️ I personally recommend the Frida burger or the Steak Burrito.
