Review by SoldByMarvin.com Love finding African-American owned businesses that don't play when it comes to the food and the flavor. We've been a plant-based family for nearly a decade, and when we landed in Detroit, we saw that this place was a must visit because of their plant based options. We got the soul burger and the "D-Boy" which had a fried onion ring on top of a very well seasoned plant-based patty that thankfully was not your typical mock meat like impossible and beyond meat brands. The onion rings were very good. It's very important if you are plant based or plant curious that you try your best to avoid mock meat because many of them have just as much chemical and unhealthy ingredients as regular meat. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back. You should try those burgers definitely if you're ever in the Detroit area. The vibe Inside was well done and the staff were helpful and helping us pick from the options they had on the menu, which was a lot. Who definitely plan on trying the dessert the next time we're there, but we just touchdown and did not want "Big Our Back too badly since we just touchdown in Detroit. read more

I love their vegan food !!! My very favorite dish is the vegan slider option!!! These vegan sliders are so flavorful, they have a great texture AND they have the perfect amount of moisture!

I love Trap Vegan! The staff is always amazing and I went to college with the owner/founder, so seeing the business continue to grow is so amazing! The food never lets me down and its always delicious. I keep it simple and always go with the D. Boy Burger With Truffle Fries. I always tell myself I'm going to try one of their smoothies one day as well. Give this place a try if you haven't already. read more

Delicious food, friendly service, just what I needed on a cold winter's night! Meat eaters and vegetarians/vegans alike will love their selection. Superb juices! read more

One of the best veggie burgers I've had - I love that this has found its way to my little corner of Detroit. I haven't had a thing I didn't like read more

We went here after indoor skydiving for my vegan son's birthday lunch. It's pricey but delicious.

Delicious vegan quick food with the nicest staff and delicious food. My friend and I split the cauliflower with buffalo sauce and the 2 slider meal with curly fries. The cauliflower was fried perfectly but didn't feel heavy. They make their meatless patties in-house and they were AMAZING. The curly fries were seasoned so well and were so crispy. We also tried their trap sauce (reminded us of thousand island dressing) their spicy ranch (very good!). Their drinks are homemade teas and very refreshing. I hope to be back soon to try more goodies! read more

Chicken slider and loaded nachos were banging! Def coming back. Service was A-1. The vibe is like of a small eatery. Nice clean bathrooms.

I have been to this restaurant twice my food is has been amazing. The customer service is very good. I did have the deep fried cauliflower and I was blown away. I can't wait to go back. read more

I love everything that's offered here!! I love to come back and visit here, whenever I'm in the country. It's always a pleasure to have some good Healthy food and drinks. My favorite food place so far in this Livernoise area Service doesn't take long, the ambiance is a cute teeny, tiny walk in space just enough to order and go. No big crowds allowed to eat there together. Still nice though lol read more

It would be 5 stars but there are few things that bothered me enough to remove one star. First, there are no prices on the menu so I was a little shocked how much I had to pay for 2 burgers and two sides of fries. Even after we said it's a dine in, they packaged everything in the containers so it's was a little hard to eat. There is no such a thing of tap water. I assume majority of people do takeout so they ate not really prepared for a dine in experience. The prices are definetly on a high side. The wait was pretty long but when we finally got our sandwiches I have to say, these were probably the best vegan burgers we had so far in restaurants. I had the bbq Jackfruit sandwich with sweet potato fries with added cinnamon sugar. My husband got the What's Beef with curly fries. I love that there is vegan place like this with such amazing burgers I belive many people that eat there are not even vegan! We need to show more people that vegan food is delicious! I don't think I'll be back often as the prices are too high. read more

Trap Vegan used to have these chili cheese fries with beans that were so good, like, one of my favorite things to order. I don't know what happened, but they took it off the menu and I've been missing it ever since. The burgers have potential, but they're missing something--can't quite put my finger on it, but the flavor doesn't fully hit. That said, I still appreciate the creativity and variety on the menu. I've only ever ordered online, so I can't speak on the service, but the food always arrives on time and well-packed. Giving it a 3.5/5 with love, hoping they bring those fries back! read more

Been meaning to try this spot for ages and finally did yesterday. They did not disappoint! We got the d-boy (think western burger but vegan), fried cauliflower, fries, and a Pom berry smoothie. The burger patty was delicious, meaty, one of the best vegan burger patties I've ever tasted. We opted for the sauce on the side for our fried cauliflower so we could try more than one, I loved the spicy vegan ranch. It had just a kiss of heat and was creamy and delicious. The other we tried was Caribbean jerk, it was smoky and smooth and sweet. The cauliflower pieces were smaller, perfect for dipping with a nice crunch of breading. The fries were a thinner cut, and not too crispy or too soft. The Pom berry smoothie was my favorite part. Holy smokes was it delicious, if you love cranberry like I do this is a must try. Service was prompt, even though the place was hella busy with standing room only. It took about 15 minutes to get our meal. Everything was neatly packed in compostable containers in a brown bag with handles. I would recommend this place for take out rather than sit down, their seating area is tiny (2 2 tops and a bar for 4) so maybe best nabbed on your way home or to a lovely park on a nice day of your choosing. As I mentioned, it was standing room only when we went... and it wasn't even a meal time! It was around 3 o'clock! Can we say popular and thriving? Prices are a little on the high side, but with everything made fresh to order and in house I'm not mad about it at all. (Our bill for a burger, fries, cauliflower, and smoothie was about 45$ + tip) Give em a shot and support a local, small, black owned business! read more

This place is small but neat and clean with outside dining also. I had the Loaded Nachos and Fried Cauliflower. Awesome! Service was friendly and, food was hot. It is a little pricey, but worth it! I will be back soon and bringing others to enjoy these great flavors. Marcia G. read more

It was fine. But that's it. No real "service" it's a kiosk and they hand you your food and it says no refills anywhere so. Not great on the ambiance either but I came twice and it filled its purpose ! Basic vegan foods ! read more

Trap Vegan - Super nice spot - Vegan Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

An amazing experience! I took my kids for lunch and the sliders were perfect for them to each have one. We tried the sweet potato, curly, and truffle fries and we loved them all! I had the Soul Survivor burger and loved it. The sautéed onions and mushrooms were generous. The folks working were so friendly and helpful. We felt welcome and treated to a delicious lunch. I wish we lived closer to make it a regular spot but I'll find a way to go back and try other burgers. read more

Ordered at the kiosk and waited about 10 mins for one of the best burgers I've ever had. Can't wait to try their other products

10/10 for a vegan burger. Honestly can not tell that it's vegan. Great flavor and pairs well with the toppings. ~$15 for the burger, kinda pricey but well worth it for the taste! Also got the truffle fries. You can tell it's freshly fried but didn't taste special to me. Would probably try their sweet potato fries next time. Overall, a great place, would return. read more

Trap Vegan - What's Beef Burger - Vegan Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Always takes to long but it's vegan and I'm desperate at this point smh so I accept the crumbs they give and I guess it just won't ever change cause they always packed read more

Got the soul survivor burger. Very good and tasted like a real burger at a fancy-ish restaurant. It was a bit expensive for the amount/quantity given but it satisfied the craving for a burger. Service was good and what I really liked about the place was that everyone seemed to know everyone else and it was like a big family not only between employees but also employees and customers and between customers themselves. What a nice collegial atmosphere with great food. Unique place. Good food. Would be back. read more

I had the barbecue burger! It was good! I definitely would love to try other things on the menu! I had a smoothie also and you can add in any extra ingredients like protein, vitamins and supplements. The inside was nice and there parking on the side of the building. Our food came out fast and hot so service was fast and efficient! Thank you for the food! read more

I want to start out saying, I'm not vegan. I love meat! MEEEEEEEEEEAT!!! I had this delivered door dash so my review is for food only not service. After a long bout with covid my stomach has been a little shaky. Due to that I've been adjusting my diet to find things that sit well, while I nurse this. Started out with a "whats beef " .... Insert shocked emoji... I would have bet money this burger was beef. I looked at it twice, revisited the menu to ensure it wasn't beef... it's that darn good shocked emoji again. I ordered tater tots which I think the price was a bit much for basic tater tots. They were good though but never again. I lastly had an Incredible Hulk smoothie which .... Yep loved it to!! Am I vegan now??? I think I'm vegan now. This was an awesome meal. My stomach approved of it all and I'm quite full. read more

I had been seeing that Trap Vegan opened up every time I drove down Livernois so I decided to try... I'm not a vegan, but I definitely wanted to try a smoothie because right now I have drive a little bit further to get to my favorite smoothie chain and I'd love to have a closer place to go instead! I'd say call in your order instead of using the online order system because there was a little bit of confusion with my order when I got there, but the folks there were super nice and they put together my "Soul Survivor" impossible burger and my "Detroit Hottie" smoothie quickly. My burger was pretty good. My smoothie wasn't quite as good as my favorite smoothie chain but it was probably less sugared up and better for me! I only wish they had a wider straws to drink my smoothie a little faster. My burger, onion rings and smoothie cost about $25... not cheap, but vegan food is usually a little more expensive. They had a few other options though... salads, bowls, and a large variety of smoothies and they were more than accommodating so check them out if you're in the area! read more

Trap Vegan - "Soul Survivor" burger, "Detroit Hottie" smoothie - Vegan Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Food as amazing, it's consistently good. One thing I noticed is I always tip digitally and the workers don't get their appropriate tips. I think the owner Ron are keeping the tips to themselves. If you go, I advise you tip cash only. read more

I was disappointed to find this is a walk up and go location without seating. Ended up not even going inside.

This place is amazing. The food is hot, delicious and satisfying. There is a small dine in space, this place is mostly for take out orders. Customer service is always friendly. I would eat here at least once a week if it was in my budget. But I definitely go once a month. Even my non vegan friend loves the burger and sweet potato fries. read more

Whenever I am in town I make a point to stop by Trap Vegan. The food is delicious and the portions are a healthy size: I have eaten at a lot of vegan restaurants and this one is my favorites. read more

food was 10/10, you have to try the soul survivor so delicious, even if you're not vegetarian or vegan you have to try this burger... service also 10/10 they were so attentive. i loved the cozy vibe of the place read more

Best vegan sliders I've ever had. The trap vegan salad regularly has the freshest greens regardless of what's in season. It can be a little busy so give yourself plenty of time when ordering pick-up. Thanks for making great food! read more

First time customer and i'll definitely be back. I had the soul survivor burger with sweet potato fries. Service was friendly the overall atmosphere was delightful read more

Baybeeeee! Soul survivor is life! Best vegan burger I ever had and I've eaten my fair share! Worth the wait because everything is so fresh and hot! Pack your patience! Staff is so friendly and the music is a vibe. Only downfall is that it's small inside and will more than likely be a carryout joint for most. I love it here! Try the hibiscus tea. read more

Trap Vegan - Soul Survivor Burger - Vegan Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Probably one of the best vegan meals ever. Had the jack trout BBQ and it was amazing with the sugar salted sweet potato fries. Service was excellent and will Come back read more

It is one of the best vegan spots in the city of Detroit. It has very good nachos, very good hamburgers, great smoothies, and great vegetarian bowls. I love how quick they are. The service is excellent; order online or in person. I will return read more

I was very excited to try Trap vegan because I saw multiple post on Tik Tok. I had back to back meetings so I ordered via Uber Eats. I selected the Soul survivor burger with curly fries and a K. Rae special smoothie. The burger comes with pepper Jack, caramelized onions, mushrooms and trap sauce. My delivery lady called to say they didn't have curly fries so they were going to substitute truffle fries. When my order arrived it was regular tater tots which tasted like they were fresh out of a bag. The burger was ok. There wasn't a lot of flavor in the burger but the trap sauce was delicious! The smoothie was also great. I'm not sure I'll be back but I can at least say I've had them. read more

Ordered from DoorDash and did not disappoint. The biggest allure here is their vegan burgers. I tried the D. Boy as did a coworker..... Oooooohhhh Mmmyyyyy Gaaaaaaawwwwwddd!!!! One of the best vegan burgers I had in a while. My coworker who not vegan really enjoyed it. She said she could eat a burger and not feel guilty about it later. But it's sooo indulgent. I don't know what sorcery they do to their brioche buns to make them vegan but a home run. Their curly fries and trap sauce( their version of a fission dressing I think) was also pretty good. She enjoyed one of their smoothies too. Over great first try and looking forward to coming back again! read more

Trap Vegan - Bar B Que Jackfruit Bowl - Vegan Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I like this place a lot. My vegan sister can eat here frequently and I can't say that about other vegan places. The sweet potato pie was one of my favorite desserts. I frequently enjoy the jackfruit bowl and nachos. The juice was good, looking forward to trying their smoothies. Wish they stayed open until 9pm. :) Update: leftovers were great. their food tastes good cold. read more

My friends got soul survivor and I got the sliders- we've been vegetarian & vegan for so long now and we all agreed these were some of the best vegan burgers we've ever had! The curly fries were pretty good too. read more

My husband and I finally tried this restaurant! We shared the Soul Survivor burger with Truffle Fries and the Loaded Nachos. We were very pleased with the taste of all of our food. My husband felt like the burger could've had a little more seasoning but he still liked it and said we'd return again. The inside is small with limited seating but there are several high tops inside if you so choose. It appeared clean inside and the staff all seemed to be pleasant. We will try this place again soon... they have several more burgers for us to try. Price-wise... yeah it's a little pricey and fries are sold separate but the food is good so we'll be back. read more
