I've been to this original Cudahy location many times since the drive up days of 2020, and I'm grateful to live nearby. The Pineapple Express is still a fave, as are the Cauliflower Bites appetizer. Would love to see ketchup on the tables for their tasty waffle fries, and a cola or diet cola option added to the cooler since that's pretty standard for fried food places. Adding these wouldn't take away from their fried vegan food mission, which Twisted Plants does with flare. read more

I am such a fan of Twisted Plants on Brady St. This weekend we decided to stop by their Cudahy location. We dropped by on a Saturday evening at around 7:20pm. Their Brady Street locale is open until 10pm on Saturdays but just a note that this location is only open until 8pm (and may pack up prior to that even). We ordered our dinner and indicated that we'd be dining in. We were the only customers in the place. We ordered and took a seat. The cashier proceeded to put chairs on top of tables so we ate surrounded by a completely packed up dining room (bizarre, given they didn't close for another 40 minutes). My dining companion ordered their up in smoke burger with onion rings and he ended up getting served fries instead. They were already so packed up we didn't want to have them cook up onion rings so he settled for the fries. It's also a bit spendy. Dinner for two (two burgers and fries and two waters) ran us $50+ after tp, which seemed a bit steep for order-at-the-counter-fast casual, even for vegan fast casual. Randomly we got similar vegan meals elsewhere recently and for nearly identical meals (burgers + fries + water), one cost us $37 and the other $29. So, yeah, $50 felt high. Why the 5 stars? Because, it cannot be denied--they serve up some kickin' vegan eats. Like--order literally anything on the menu and you can't go wrong. I got the pineapple express burger, which hit the perfect sweet and savory note. Their fries are seasoned and waffle (and amazing). Get to it! (but maybe not near closing and not on a week where funds are short) read more

Up In Smoke burger = flavor heaven! Stopped by this spot while visiting Milwaukee and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the Up In Smoke burger and WOW absolute flavor bomb. Juicy, smoky, perfectly cooked, and piled high with all the good stuff. You would never know it wasn't vegan. I Paired it with crispy waffle fries (seasoned just right) and a blue lemonade that was straight fire. Tangy, sweet, and refreshing it was the perfect combo. The vibes were chill, the service was quick, and the food was even better than I expected. If you're in town and craving something bold, this place won't miss. Trust me get that burger! read more

Was looking for a casual vegetarian lunch. This place was the perfect alternative. Very laid back vibe. Ordered at the counter for inside seating. The sandwiches were delicious. Make it a combo and enjoy their strawberry lemonade and fries. The sausage party sandwich was indiscernible from animal-based protein. Others in our group enjoyed the Up in Smoke burger with excellent plant-based patty and bacon. The burger was topped with some great BBQ sauce, as well. read more

Okay, just because I stopped eating meat doesn't mean I don't want a greasy burger meal. And Twisted Plants offers just that. Let me tell you, this place is insanely good. Serving up "burger joint for stoners" vibes, this place is definitely the most laid back of their 3 locations. The hours here are the most limited, but the staff is great and parking (though limited to street) is a breeze. I am firmly of the opinion that Twisted Plants can make a believer out of even the most rigid carnivore. It's just that good. Do their burgers taste *exactly* like meat? No. But is it ridiculously flavorful and enjoyable to eat? ABSOLUTELY. Order the Pineapple Express. Add jalapenos to it, if you like a kick. And just enjoy. Trust me. It's gooey and messy and so, so good. Add the waffle fries on the side and you will honestly forget that this place is plant based. For added pleasure, get the cauliflower bites. If you already enjoy plant based foods, you will 100% like this place. If you don't typical eat plant based foods or are unsure of trying it, Twisted Plants is truly a great starting point. Their food is accessible and delicious and - hopefully - the future of vegan eats in Milwaukee! read more

Best burger ive ever had, vegan or regular. My favorite is the pineapple express burger

The OG in Milwaukee for vegan comfort food. Soooo good! Everything on the menu is yum worthy and you'll never miss the animal products. The cauliflower bites and fries are personal favorites; I also love Up in Smoke. I haven't yet been to the Brady Street or West Allis locations, but I've no doubt they're just as awesome as Cudahy. I'd recommend trying Twisted Plants for their holiday meals. Your Thanksgiving will never be the same! My only constructive criticism is I'd love it if they changed up the menu now and then. Aside from that, Twisted Plants is chef's kiss. read more

I had the privilege of being invited to try the cauliflower bites at Twisted Plants today. After talking to the staff at the counter and receiving a very gracious welcome, I waited at my table for my treat to be served inside the restaurant. What a charming location. This little spot in Cudahy is located in main street next door to a childcare facility not far from the airport. When you step inside this colorful little cafe, you're greeted warmly by the staff and given immediate courteous attention! The cashier even took the time to read the ingredients on the cookies to me when the print was too small for me to see. I truly appreciated that!!! The prices are very reasonable for the vegan foods and the restaurant specializes in sandwiches made with Beyond Meat. Because of my dietary requirements, I cannot eat Beyond Meat but those sandwiches had my mouth watering with temptation! It was hard to wait for the cauliflower bites so I was glad they arrived quickly! I tried the BBQ bites. They were very spicy. I enjoyed them very much. They were not, at all what I expected! That's good! See, I don't like cauliflower! If those bites had tasted like "white broccoli" for 1 second, I would not have been happy. I was very pleased indeed and would definitely add this dish as a new favorite. Thank you to the owners of Twisted Plants for inviting Yelp Elites to taste your food. I drove all the way from Grafton for cauliflower! That wasn't necessarily the prize, though -- YOUR STAFF WAS! They were gracious, kind, polite, hard-working, friendly, courteous, and constantly cleaning the whole time I was there! It didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated! Thank you for being such wonderful workers and gracious hosts! read more

Twisted Plants - This colorful wall matches the colorful palette till need to appreciate the food - Vegan Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

Yasssss! An amazing black-owned vegan spot in Wisconsin with food that makes you wish you had 7 stomachs to try everything at once. I don't even know where to start... Since I only have one little tummy, and it fills rather quickly, I was hard pressed to pick a couple of things that I could try, prepared to have the leftovers on another day. After looking at their wide array of tantalizing menu options, I finally settled on a few things. This Is The End - Loaded fries with bbq jackfruit, guacamole sauce (I omitted queso & ranch) and I requested the addition of their chipotle sauce. Dear baby Christ in a manger this was FIRE!!!! The spicy sauces atop those thick, crispy and perfectly seasoned tater wedges... All I can do is shake my head as no words hath I. This may definitely be the end...of my waistline. Hot Box - This is apparently on their secret menu. It's spicy vegan fried chicken with friends. Well, it's not the least bit spicy, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's de-freggin-licious. That crispy, seasoned coating on that vegan chicken with a perfect texture that wasn't too chewy, but not too thick or gluten-y (if you know what I mean). SALTED CARAMEL SHAKE - I do not know if this shake is seasonal or not. I do not know when the winds of life will blow me back to Wisconsin. But I hope that whenever I am back in town, this shake will be there to greet my mouth with the pleasantries of its succulent kiss. I tend to get poetically dramatic with delicious food. This shake was so darn delectable! Thick, sweet, tasty, and left me wanting more. AND it's vegan?! For what more can you ask?? Whether it's work and a foodie road trip, I cannot wait to get back to Twisted Plants to try the rest of their deliciously twisted menu. read more

I came here for lunch with a friend of mine that is a vegetarian. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. It's a cute diner style atmosphere. They have a decent amount of seating. The lunch hour was kind of busy but the noise level was fine. I ordered their hot wings as a meal and my friend got one of their sandwiches. We both loved our food. The hot sauce had great flavor. The one drawback is that being vegan, there was no blue cheese or iteration of it. I love that they have a location on the East Side and plan to check them out soon! read more

I was so excited to order from here but was sooo disappointed. Wings were ok, sausage was good. Mozzarella sticks literally tasted like just slime, absolutely terrible. Super bad burger terrible. Just very dry and not good. Only ate some wings and sausage. Huge disappointment read more

Burger Time Twisted Plants had been on my to-do for some time, and a coupon deal got me there. I haven't been to Cudahy for so many years but I called in my order early and then made a detour on the way home to pickup. I'm all for plant-based and their burger selections did not disappoint. I hear they will have some dining space soon, so I will definitely stop back sooner rather than later. read more

Twisted Plants - Superbad is super good! - Vegan Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

Oh, finally! We finally made it to Twisted Plants, which is one of the restaurants featured in Milwaukee Black Restaurant Week 2021. I know many people have been raving about this place, and with it serving plant based fare, it was time to head down to Cudahy and give it a try. It's easy to order online and you can have your order "for later" and get an estimated curbside pickup time. You get a confirmation text as well. Now, on to the food! Oh my! As soon as we got the food, it smelled delicious, super fragrant! The "How High" sandwich (shredded jackfruit with bbq sauce!) definitely hits the spot. I chose this one after looking at the menu a few times and thinking I wanted one of everything. We also got a couple of milkshakes that were tasty and satisfying. Check this place out if you haven't already! read more

I had heard a lot of good comments about this place so I decided to give it a try with hubby. One thing that you really need to pay attention to before you go: the order time. They open at noon (which can be a bit inconvenient for early lunch fans like us). If you put in an order before noon (you can do it on the same day through their online system), you should expect to get your food at 12:30PM or maybe 12:40PM depending on the order volume. We got their Up'N Smoke burgers and hot cauliflower bites. Big portion size. The burgers tasted good but were kind of heavy in smokehouse bbq sauce. We both particularly liked the plant-based patty & fried onion rings. They serve yummy, golden, crispy waffles fries on side - awesome! The hot cauliflower was so-so. Maybe we should get BBQ sauce or sweet chili sauce. Maybe they would have tasted better if we ate them right away. They smelt so good in our car but tasted kind of salty and mushy after we took them home. They were spicy indeed! The guy who picked up our call and the lady who brought us food were both super friendly! Definitely a great option for vegan/plant-based comfort food in Milwaukee. read more

Sometimes during holidays they make soul food dinners... Don't short yourself, go ahead and pre-order those too!!! read more

Twisted Plants - Cauliflower bites (sweet chili) Chopped & Screwed/w waffle fries - Vegan Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

Delicious vegan burger joint that has marijuana themed decorations. This was the first thing I ate in Milwaukee, and I am so glad I found it. Tried the Up in Smoke with tater tots. Superb burger, but I felt like I could have done without the onion rings and the plant based bacon didn't add much flavor or texture. Something that real bacon does. No matter though, it was awesome and I really like the fries. I'd probably skip the tots and stick with the fries which have that curly fry batter on them. read more

Went to the Brady st location and it was cute. I just took my food to go. I can't even remember the name of what I had but it was like a double cheeseburger with grilled onions. It was good, had a slight sweetness to it but I didn't mind. The burger was very filling. I also had the cauliflower bites with the like sweet heat sauce. This was sooooo good. I will be back just for the cauliflower bites. Everything was really good. You barely realize it's a plant based burger because the toppings are just so good. Good value for money because I didn't even finish everything in one sitting. read more

This place is amazing! Hands and forks down for top notch vegan food. The fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade is well worth the price for it. I had enough to sip along with my burger and have plenty left for the car ride home. I don't mean to blow too much smoke, but the Up N' Smoke burger was a plant full of goodness. As long as you don't mind getting a little messy, this should be anyone's go to burger. read more

Twisted Plants - Strawberry Lemonde and trendy decor - Vegan Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

Dear Twisted Plants, Your decor boasts posters of many of my favorite movies from my time spent in my early 20s; your music playlist transported me back to junior high in the 90s; your food took my breath away. That strawberry lemonade was fire , your cauliflower bites were mouth-watering, and that lemon crack milkshake was the bomb! I have been trying to gently lead myself into becoming closer to vegetarian and I think this place offers some of the tastiest and creative options for dining out. My forever food-love is the hamburger and although I haven't tried any of theirs yet, I know they are going to be beyond mind-blowing because if what I ate was any indication of what's to come, whoa! The staff I interacted with are so nice and friendly, you can tell they take real pride in their product and service. Thank you for the good eats and delicious treats. Until next time! read more

Couple of friends and I ordered to-go and they had a good system to get the food to us efficiently while still in the car! I'm not vegan myself, but treats like this make me see that you can still get loads of flavor with meat alternatives. We got a the Up'N Smoke Burger and 2 orders of cauliflower bites to share. All the flavors were perfect together and the waffle fries were amazing! When the cauliflower bites were cooling down, the breading started sliding off, so I would recommend eating them while they're still fresh! read more

I was not prepared for the decadent, gooey deliciousness of Twisted Plants! I was happy that we found a black-owned vegan joint in Cudahy, Wisconsin! I was in need of some vegan comfort food after the long drive from Western MA, so the 'This is the End' loaded fries with meatless crumbles looked like just the tastiness I needed! Wow, I truly wish I didn't live a thousand miles from this place, I'd be a regular without a second thought. The theme of the restaurant is fun and creative, with menu items reflecting titles of stoner films and the food that would satisfy anyone's case of munchies with healthy treats that are good for the planet. read more

Twisted Plants - Loaded fries - so good! - Vegan Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

Food lovers, vegan or not, rejoice for the joys of a tasty burger! I had a pineapple express burger and asked for no bun, so they wrapped it in lettuce. My goodness, this was SO good. I inhaled it. It was sweet, savory, and bursting with flavor that I don't think a non-vegan person would know the difference that there wasn't meat in there. The waffle fries? Crispy, seasoned well, and not too salty. I'm a huge proponent of waffle fries because of their increased surface area to maximize the crispiness. I got to-go orders, and they were on time and hot. Our group of 3 silently ate the food because it was that good. If anyone has anything bad to say about vegan food, I would send them to Twisted Plants to change their mind. P.s. Cauliflower bites - also tasty! They're no chicken wings, but you truly can't go wrong with these either. Maybe go light on the sauce. read more

So, I went back to Twisted Plants with my friends and ordered my normal order. I got the Soul Plane, some cauli wings to share, and a Lemon Shake. I was SO disappointed felt. The sandwich was great but the fries were so oily and soggy. My friend's burger was the same. I always buy the cauli bites to share (because as you can see from my previous pics it's large enough to share), but when I opened up the wings I gasped to see the drastic change in the size of the cauli bites (see pic) and the amount... for $11 it was not worth it at ALL! We spent nearly $50 bucks and the meal did not meet our expectations. read more

I LOVE Twisted Plants! As a vegetarian I'm not usually too picky and most restaurants have vegetarian options that are pretty good but I love when I'm able to order anything off the menu at a place, and the food here is SO GOOD! My favorite is the Superbad. I've tried a few though and always like them. My husband is not a vegetarian but loves eating here and often asks if we can get carry out and I've had plenty of non vegetarian friends eat here and enjoy it. Also... their fries are soooooo good! I usually do carry out and they are pretty punctual and the food always travels home well. I think the inside space is cool too, it feels really cozy and I love all the posters and art. Parking isn't too bad but it is street parking so you might have to park a block away. read more

The onion rings are very yummy and crispy. The service is very good the people are very nice. The atmosphere is very cute.

COVID-19 service -- The location: Easy to find on a main road in Cudahy. There's free 2-hour parking out in front and a little way down. I wasn't close enough to see if there's a designated pick-up spot. The service: Awesome. We ordered by phone, paid by phone, and did curbside pick-up. All we needed to do was call to say we had arrived and to identify our vehicle. They gave us an estimate for when our food would be ready for pick-up. Easy peasy. The man who brought out our food checked to make sure it was our order (though I might have been reaching for the bag at the same time, I'm sorry my hunger interfered with you doing your job!). He was wearing both a mask and gloves, and I made sure I was wearing a mask for our interaction. The food: Incredible. Little kids know what's up when they say certain shapes of pasta or potatoes taste better. Why do we forget that when we grow up? The waffle fries were glorious. Nicely seasoned, and perfect eating temperature for the car. Hubsy and I each got our own burger, but we sliced them in half so we'd each get to try a good chunk of the other one. Pineapple Express: perfect. Gooey cheese, just enough tang with the pineapple, and a tender burger. Cooked to perfection. I didn't expect the pretzel bun, so I was pleasantly surprised and very grateful. Still Smokin': delightful. Not the same type of fireworks in terms of flavor that the previous burger had, but a perfect comfort food flavor with the smoky cheese, mushrooms, and onions. This one was also slippery and I needed a napkin. Next time: I'm curious about one of the jackfruit sandwiches or the fake chicken. I'm also dying to try a milkshake, so...needless to say, I'll be back for more. read more

I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years, and this is one of the best vegan burgers I've ever had. Maybe THE best. Wow. The prices are higher than your average take out burger place, but in line with what you'd pay at a nicer restaurant, and entirely plant-based and SO GOOD, so totally worth it! This isn't just any burger! I love the variety on the menu along with the BYO option if you want to create your own masterpiece. The kids menu makes it easy to order dinner for the whole family. We tried a wide variety of options and everyone loved what they got, including my kids. Online ordering and pickup is super easy. The staff were so friendly and on top of the delicious food, the staff really made me want to visit again. It's easy to find parking on Packard when picking up your food, and you don't even need to go in; they'll bring your order out, so there's basically no excuse! read more

I'm not vegan, but this place sounded too good to pass up. It was very good. I had the up in smoke burger and hot cauliflower bites. The cauliflower was abundant and hot! I can't wait to try the other flavors. The burger was very good! The texture wasn't of traditional meat - because it's not, but it tasted just like it to me! The tempeh bacon - never had it - don't know that I knew the difference in taste, but it was a bit less smokey than traditional pork bacon. The pretzel bun was perfect. Overall, pleasant experience and I'd go back. read more

I have to say, it took me one try to become a fan - it had been on my list of vegan restaurants to try for a few months... since it's in Cudahy, it's a little out of the way for me. I had the "Up in Smoke" with 'bacon' as well as waffle fries and not only was it tasty, it was very filling too! I recently went vegetarian, trying more and more vegan meals and have really ventured into "impossible burgers" or "plant-based burgers" but this makes me want to try more of them! I think the best time I go, I'll be trying the Superbad. I also heard (afterwards) that they have strawberry lemonade that you have to get. The only thing preventing me from the 5-stars is the confusion around the ordering process. We wanted to order online or call ahead but the line was busy and the website wasn't up. We crossed our fingers and hoped they were open until 8p as advertised on IG and Google Maps. They were. You just need to wait at the door until someone from their staff comes out to grab your order. If you're patient, the food is definitely worth the wait! read more
