Francis Burger Joint is a plant-based burger bar with two locations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The menu consists of burgers, sandwiches, salads, fries, milkshakes, and a full-service bar.

History

Francis began operating in 2021 as a food truck, serving burgers outside of the Minneapolis brewery Sociable Cider Werks. The first brick-and-mortar location opened in January 2023 on Central Ave in the Northeast neighborhood, and the second location opened on East Lake Street in November 2024. The brick-and-mortar locations have been noted for their distinctive style, including black walls with red neon light highlights, and the lyrics of Winnipeg punk band Propagandhi painted on the walls.

Francis Burger Joint is the state's first fully-vegan bar. Many liquors and beers contain animal-based fining agents, which can make drinking while observing strict veganism, vegetarianism, or kashrut difficult. Francis's bar options have included an "entirely vegan Negroni, a frosty rootbeer cocktail topped with whorls of tonka bean foam, and a Mezcal-based Ultima Palabra made with an egg white foam alternative".

The restaurant is named after Francis the pig, a pig who escaped from a slaughterhouse and became a local folk hero in Red Deer, Canada.

While the menu is fully vegan, the owners have made an effort to cater to omnivorous customers' tastes, and stated that they are a community restaurant first, a vegan restaurant second.

Francis Burger Joint was named #19 in Yelp's "Top 100 Vegan Restaurants in the US 2024". The restaurant received positive reviews from local food critics.
