Airport restaurants are usually about convenience, but People's Organic at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport was a pleasant surprise. My wife ordered the roasted turkey and pesto sandwich, and I had the turkey and bacon sandwich. Both were fresh, flavorful, and a noticeable step above typical airport food. As always, we travel with a number of dietary restrictions. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies, while I manage Alpha Gal syndrome, a tree nut allergy, and diabetes. The staff was knowledgeable about food allergies and took the time to answer our questions, which made ordering much less stressful. One of the best features is the location. It's tucked a bit away from the main concourse, making it noticeably quieter than most airport restaurants. That made for a much more relaxing meal while waiting for our flight. It's a good choice for families with children and an excellent stop for anyone looking for a quality meal while traveling. We'd definitely eat here again the next time we're passing through MSP. read more

Finally found an organic place at an airport. Food was great and the service was even better from Kenny. As soon as we sat down, Kenny was on top of things - asked us how much time we had, gave us an ETA on our food, made sure he got all of our customizations down, and delivered right on time, and had the checks ready to go the second we asked. Top notch service and would give him 6 stars, since we were on a time crunch and he made sure we were in and out in 30 minutes. Looking forward to coming back read more

I'm not one to complain, especially when there are limited food options at airports, but this place was not worth the privilege of sit-down dining. The menu was sparse, and the meal itself was overcooked and under flavored. Despite being well-staffed with underwhelming patronage (the place was basically empty), it was difficult to even get a server's attention. I've seen quite a few restaurants come and go in this space of the E terminal, and I hope this ones is replaced by something new soon! read more

Who knew that I would find an awesome Organic restaurant at terminal D in the airport! But in fact I did. Awesome menu. Many wholesome organic salads and even grass fed burgers. What more does a foodie from Portland want when he's connecting from Minneapolis to Portland. I had a two hour layover and outlet at the bar to plug in my devices, good coffee, or good brew, extraordinary service, and the incredible fresh salad, consisting of kale, cucumbers, roasted tomatoes, sunflower seeds, tofu, hummus, scallions, rice, Kalamata, olives, and lemon herb vinaigrette dressing. I was flying Delta, but I was flying high with this great lunch in the airport. read more

This is a restaurant with a coffee bar. For some dumb reason, if you order your food at the coffee bar, they literally kick you out of the restaurant. Honestly, it felt like a small person with access to some power, cares more about gratifying their power tripping needs than the restaurant. I ordered a soy vanilla latte with a cheese sandwich. What I got was an almond latte with little discernible vanilla, a soggy hoagie bun, and a manager telling me to leave the premises because their waiter had given me their "to go food." Awful experience and really bad food. As an aside, their cups say Sysco, I'd bet this isn't local organic food. It's pre-made pre-packaged Sysco meals they're selling. read more

With its selection of vegan and vegetarian options, this is a go to. I started with the Dill Bloody Mary. nicely spiced but I do not taste any dill. The beer chaser was extra but that is typical in Minnesota. I ordered the Vegan Chelsea which is a vegan take on a Reuben with beets instead of meet. It tasted good but the wheat bread was not strong enough for this sandwich. Something heftier might work better. Their breakfast menu looks amazing, I wish some of the items were served all day. I also wished they served their soup by the cup, not just the bowl. I would have added a cup to my order but bowl is just too much. Super friendly and attentive servers. The restaurant is well located with a window to the runway that allows you to watch planes arrive and take off. A nice spot to hang, eat and drink while waiting for a flight especially if you are a Vegan or vegetarian read more

Delayed flight caused us to grab lunch at the airport. Didn't know what to expect but we had an incredible sandwich and quick service.

Service was terrible. Sat there for over 10 minutes without anyone saying a word to me or asking what I would like to eat and drink.

Roughly $25/pp for a sandwich might rub some people the wrong way. Still, it's nice to have decent vegan & gluten free options available. The service was pretty slow. There is a hospitality charge added, which seems standard for the area. read more

I came in and ordered the Grilled Rachel and an iced tea. The table that I sat down at was not wiped. In fact, my server even wiped crumbs off when he took my order. But, he did not bother to come back and wipe the table afterward; he just left me iced tea and a water then walked away. The sandwich and salad came on what I would consider a salad plate. It was a very small portion, especially for the $17 they charge for it. The sandwich is one you could easily make at home (for MUCH less than $17). I asked if my salad had dressing on it, because it appeared that it did not. I was told that it was it was there, and the server consequently touched my lettuce to show me that there was dressing on it. When he saw there was not he asked me if I wanted dressing and came back with some "extra dressing" for me. While service was quick, I was unimpressed and would not recommend anybody stopping here when at the Minneapolis St. Paul airport. read more

We had time to kill in the Minnesota airport && decided to get a small bite at this place! I was surprised at how busy they were, but yet again I don't usually fly at 12pm. It was quite decent. They had pretty healthy options to choose from. We went for a Really Greek Salad with quinoa tabouli, chickpeas && added chicken. The dressing was lemon oregano dressing & it was good. We also got the Free Range Chicken Wings that had sesame BBQ sauce on them. We opened out of the blue cheese sauce && got the ranch instead. They were also good. The service was par. They were short handed, and let everyone know that. The food came out moderately quickly, considering their short handedness. Overall I would visit again. read more

The People's Organic restaurant at MSP provides decent airport food (at airport food prices) with a good selection of vegan and vegetarian options -- something important these days with more and more people looking for healthy food choices. I chose an "Impossible" burger which (when properly prepared) is indistinguishable from an all beef burger, especially with a decent bun and condiments. They nailed it. I thought it a bit odd to serve the burger with a salad, but the greens were actually quite nice. Washed down with a "local" beer (a Surly IPA) I was ready for the next six hours of flying and connections. read more

During a layover at the airport, I was excited to find People Organic and that they had a gluten free maple glazed and lemon bar! They are not a purchase I'd do again...They are still slightly frozen and cold and unfortunately just not very good. Although I won't finish them, Kudos to People Organic for having a gluten free option and I do hope others enjoy them! read more

Humored the wife I'm her search for a healthier food option while traveling. I thought it was overpriced, which, yeah, it's an airport AND gluten free, so, double whammy. It also wasn't very good. The desserts were gummy. read more

I desperately wanted to like this place. Our flight was delayed significantly, so we looked around for something relatively healthy-looking and with a vegetarian option for me. The presence of a vegan chocolate donut in the pastry case seemed like a good sign, and we picked up a Mediterranean wrap for my husband and a Greek salad for me. Sadly, the condition of the salad was a bit on the wilted side, with entirely tasteless quinoa and only marginally better chickpeas, which were not made that much better by the dressing (but thank goodness the feta was normal). The wrap was apparently better, so I would suggest that over the salads (which are somehow the most expensive items on the menu). We decided to try the donut and got one to split between the two of us, and this was a good decision. I've had a lot of vegan donuts, as I'm allergic to eggs, and this ranked amongst the bottom, unfortunately :( My husband likened it to eating a block of fudge, and I felt it was perhaps not fully cooked through, as it had an odd aftertaste that I suspect was at least partially uncooked flour. We may have come on a bad day, but a lot of the food was just not in great shape. There's some nice-looking seating by the windows that looks like it is related to the same market and was completely deserted, but we got shooed away before we even sat down--it apparently is reserved for people who are purchasing alcohol at the bar that is behind this airport stall on that side. Not a great experience all around. read more

Peoples organic is quick and easy. I had about two hours to kill and did just that. I ate a Northern California wrap and chilled out. The wrap is pretty big and sever with a side salad unless you request sweet potato fries. Fries cost more. There's a carry out side to the restaurant for the grab and go customer. And, a dine in area for the passenger like me. I enjoyed the meal and the opportunity to chill before my flight. Peoples Organic serves a hearty breakfast and healthy menu mixed with a side of chill. read more

Is this all that remains of the once popular local chain? An airport restaurant so poorly run that guests are left for 15 minutes before being handed a menu at 5:30pm? The wait staff here needs to be fired, the manager made a jokey threat that his staff would be out or he'd "kick their butt". They still didn't come out. Gave up. Went next door to The Cook & The Ox and they served us immediately. read more

Whenever you have a restaurant in an airport, you have to always proceed with the caveat that it's airport prices But this was kind of a nice little place stopped here to get some breakfast booze and it was very well done. Had a nice little breakfast sandwich menu. I would go back if I was coming through this airport. read more

I didn't intend on getting a big meal here, I was just looking in the fast options to go and there wasn't much, but the employee working said hello and asked if I needed help with anything so I looked at the hot sandwiches instead and decided to try the Turkey, bacon, and cheese sandwich. It was amazing and I love how friendly he was. He even brought my sandwich to me after I sat down. It was hot and tasted amazing. Was ready within 5 minutes. It was $16, but with how much Turkey and bacon was on it, completely worth it! read more

I've given this place multiple chances and every time my family and I leave disappointed. Healthy food doesn't have to be bland and tasteless. Their prices are extremely high, even for airport food. A small salad and a coconut water was around $30. When you figure in the quality and quantity (small portions), it's downright awful. Went a couple doors down and grabbed a Cobb salad that was substantially better in taste and price. After 3 bad experiences here my family and I will not be returning. read more

At first bite, I regretted my decision to choose this place. I ordered the organic tofu scramble with fried sliced potatoes and a whole grain bread. Maybe I ordered the wrong item on the menu? People seemed to be ordering the burrito and sandwich. There's nothing wrong with the service or employees - I'm sure they're just doing their job and following the instructions given. Food: -Bland, like no salt at all. I'm okay with that as long as there's flavor. There's no flavor. -Oily. The oil covered the entire bottom of my container. -Unpleasant texture. I don't expect 5-star cooking but the fried potatoes were undercooked and soggy with oil. -The tofu and veggies had a sprinkle of curry powder...for color? The veggies were oily, overcooked, and soggy. read more

Worst service ever. I ordered before noon, got bill at 12:00, got food at 12:19, I gave card and expressly said I needed a to-go box and to pay bill. Server then ignored me and made drinks for 4-5 people at bar. I had to go up to bar, said I needed to pay bill and get to-go box. She took her time getting bill and even then still no to-go box. I had to ask her coworker for one. Had to eat my meal on the plane, so that means even if it arrived hot, it was mediocre by time I consumed. Never again. read more

Wow, great service and healthy food. Go to place in Minneapolis airport... wonderful server bartender katy.

From a distance this looks like a dream for people who want healthier food than the bar food next door, mall food in the food court, the range of bad burger peddlers, or whatever Leean Chin is. Lots of salads, organic plates, and better snacks than anywhere in the airport. Top shelf for vegans and vegetarians and others avoid deaths by carcinogens. Three warnings: 1. The food looks better than it tastes. 2. It's so expensive that it feels insulting (greedflation much?) 3. The service is outstandingly bad for a restaurant at this price point. Our server sat on his phone so long that I thought we were being held hostage. The breakfast potatoes were inedible. The toast he'd, dry, and cold. The eggs were serviceable, but kind of tough. My banana was really good and organic, but I love bananas. I felt robbed when we left. The place looked great, but it was a mirage. read more

Would leave 0 stars if I could. Stopped here for coffee on arrival a few weeks ago. Was served scalding coffee that was undrinkable. An another occasion, I was told I couldn't sit at one of the MANY open tables in the to-go express market area, because I had "outside" food...even though I had bought a coffee there. It's an airport (essentially a glorified food court) for goodness sake. Wont waste my time going anywhere near this establishment (a generous description) again. read more

Minneapolis, Airport This food seems like it would be good but it really isn't. The sandwiches are mostly huge breads and very little ingredients. And for this you are paying a rather grotesque fee. By the time you buy two sandwiches, two drinks, and something to take on the plane you could have dined at a 5 star restaurant. Oh, so when I opened my boxed lunch on the pane I found my turkey wrap was cleverly disguised to appear normal sized. Instead I got two miniature pieces of a wrap with a salad that didn't come with a fork. Is there a better place to eat at the airport? I will have to consult my fellow Yelpers on this. read more

We stopped here out of necessity as it was one of the only places open, but it was a good quick bite although overpriced for what you get. FOOD: We ordered the chicken and goat cheese ciabatta and the Northern California wrap. Both were pretty tasty! I appreciated how generous they were with the goat cheese on the sandwich. However, both were quite small for dinner and very overpriced. We also ordered drinks - we got the thyme and thyme again and the Jamaican Moscow mule. Both were also tasty, but again quite overpriced. AMBIANCE: I don't have high expectations for an airport restaurant, but the decor was quite nice and the dine-in area was nicely separated from the airport crowds. SERVICE: Nice servers. The drinks took a while to come out but the food was quick. read more

Yikes. Total disaster. People's organic seemed to be the logical and great and safe choice for a vegan traveler at MSP. Nope. First issue - our server seemed completely confused about almost everything on the menu. Then we ordered Fried Cauliflower, which was supposed to have a Soy Cilantro dip and came with blue cheese instead. I asked the waitress what it was and she said blue cheese. We told her we were vegan and that it has dairy and that wasn't okay. She swapped it out and apologized. The two flavors were awful together. The fried cauliflower was soggy but it did have a nice flavor. It was a BBQ flavor. Which made the soy cilantro sauce confusing to me. It did NOT taste good together. Then I ordered Avocado Toast with vegan sausage & a side of sweet potato fries with sriracha aoili. My husband ordered the Cowboy Burger which came with a Beyond patty. Our fries came out first and mine were ice cold. My husband said his were fine. The fry baskets also still had the "Made in China" labels on them, which told me that they clearly hadn't been washed yet. When my Avocado Sausage came the sausage didn't look like the prior photos of vegan sausage so I asked the waitress to double check and she said yes it's vegan. Then I asked what brand it was and she said she would ask. When she came back she said "it's vegan." Again, I said, that's not what I asked, I asked what brand it is. Which resulted in her asking all of the other front of the house staff until someone said "Beyond Meat." I wouldn't have ordered it had I known that as Beyond products upset my stomach and they're too greasy. Thankfully my husband ate them. My husband said his burger was dry, which for a Beyond burger meant they sure had to cook it for a long time because they are super greasy and I've never ever seen them served dry. I ordered a Chandon Brut Rose to drink, and the server had to come back and ask where on the menu it was. And I ordered a Blackberry Lavender Champagne cocktail which basically had lavender pellets in it and I had to keep spitting them out. We were going to have dessert but the server told us her shift was over and we needed to pay. Just EVERY bit of our experience was awful. Save yourself the misery and stay away. read more

Flight got delayed for the third time and may get cancelled so we were starving. Husband really wanted something "healthy" so we stopped in and sat at the bar. The bartender has been really courteous and attentive, but not too friendly in a creepy way. We ordered a blue moon and the Northern California Wrap with a side salad. Would definitely give the wrap a 5/5, very fresh, surprisingly a warm not a cold wrap, with sun dried tomatoes which was a great touch. The salad has been underwhelming and is basically arugula with a vinaigrette splashed on top. read more

I was unsure after reading the mediocre reviews but my lunch was delicious and "clean eating". Most items are pre-made. Had the Northern California wrap. Avocado was fresh, not brown. It had just the right amount of tomato aioli. Chicken was tasty and a nice side salad. Yeah it was pricey, as is every restaurant at MSP read more

I normally love this place. Great flavors, vegan and vegetarian options, excellent service. Had the Buddha bowl and the grain was undercooked. At first I thought it might be the sesame seeds, it wasn't. Glad I didn't break a tooth. Will for sure be back as it's my go-to but hope they do better quality control in the future. read more

It didn't take long for her to make my order and I was on my way! I wish more of my flight came into the F gate so I could get this whenever I came to MSP :) read more

A nice place to stop on your way to your gate, although it is quite pricey as one would expect of airport dining. The three cheese sandwich was pretty good! It was warm and had the right amount of saltiness from what I think was goat cheese. The basil and veggies inside were pretty good too. It's just a little greasy to eat. I sat at my gate to eat but it had a lot of seating which is nice. The service was also quick and there weren't too many people waiting in line since it was so early in the morning. read more

Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan food at its finest. Quite a few organic options to choose from and their service is noticeably fast. I felt it's was a much better option than the other fast food joints nearby in the airport. Enjoyed the Grilled Rachel and blondie for dessert.
