Though just over a year old, this plant-based eatery has become a favorite or Twin Cities vegetarians and vegans. That’s right: everything on the menu is made of made from plants. That means no meat, seafood, dairy, eggs or honey.

J. Selby’s was founded on the belief that vegans shouldn’t miss out on hot wings with ranch, loaded nachos, and smashburgers — and thank goodness for that. This airy Selby Avenue spot turns out comfort food for the plant-based set, but omnivores certainly won’t feel like they’re missing anything while digging into an order of deep-fried local mushrooms or a classic sandwich featuring the excellent chickin’ of Minneapolis’ Herbivorous Butcher. Who says meat-eaters have all the fun?

If you’re craving that naughty bar food you never expected to be able to eat on a vegetarian diet, J Selby’s is your spot. This entirely plant-based menu includes some stunners. The “buffalo wings” made out of cauliflower is the menu item that really put them on the map, but you’ll also find a “Dirty Secret” burger made out of two non-beef patties, a “Gyro” crafted with seitan, and even a taco-bell-style Crunchwrap Supreme.

This casual, order-at-the-counter plant-based vegan eatery is all about comfort food, and the brunch here — even sans meat — carries out that theme, too. Fluffy pancakes served with a better-than-average maple syrup was our favorite. If you can get over the texture difference, tofu scrambles that emulate scrambled eggs and Herbivorous Butcher “meats” make for flavorful and herbaceous brunch dishes.

J. Selby's delivers plant-based takes on mainstream favorites. The Dirty Little Secret - two non-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheeze, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun - may sound familiar. The menu also includes buffalo wings (cauliflower), chicken strips, gyro, plus kid-sized options.

Kidding, but the plant-based restaurant is a favorite among vegans and non-vegans alike. The menu offers a variety of modern takes on American classics, such as chili dogs, beef sandwiches and mac and cheese. They also have some guilt-free options like soy chorizo tacos, salads, and rice bowls.

169 Victoria Street North St. Paul, Minnesota 55104651-222-3263. Serving plant-based comfort foods such as burgers and wraps made with meat and cheese substitutes, J. Selby’s also offers vegetable-based dishes, such as stir-fries, salads, and a variety of dairy- and egg-free baked goods.

Selby’s is a 100% plant-based establishment serving up things like burgers, wraps, tacos, wings, dessert, and even vegan brunch on Sundays!

J. Selby's is one of my absolute favorite places in the Metro. The food is all delicious. Tons of gluten free options, too!
