U.S. Bank Stadium Vegan Guide 2023 (Minnesota Vikings)

We’re thankful U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings, has remained consistent with their vegan options for the last few seasons. We have confirmed that the Be Graceful vendor is available again for the 2023 season.

We have contacted the stadium to ask if there are addiitonal options we may not be seeing on their concessions page and will update if/when we learn more.

Below that, we share what U.S. Bank Stadium’s Bag Policies are along with if you are allowed to bring in outside food or drink… should you be thinking of going that route.

Lastly, we did some research around the stadium and somewhat close, hoping to find vegan-friendly restaurants that may be good places to eat before or after the game.

Vegan Options Near U.S. Bank Stadium

We also did a bit of research looking around the area close to the stadium. We found a couple of places close to the stadium that could be good spots for grabbing a bite to eat before or after the game.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, just a few locations that caught our attention.

Hard Times Cafe

1821 Riverside Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55454

Hard Times Cafe is a punk rock themed restaurant serving up vegan and vegetarian food. Everything on the menu is clearly labeled, so don’t worry about having to figure out which is which.

The cafe is located less than a mile to the southeast of the stadium and the reviews for this place are amazing. A lot of awesome vegan breakfast choices which always seems to be hard to find.

Vegan East

2409 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55405

When you’ve looked through as many Google Reviews as we have, you become aware of how hard it is to maintain a 4.9 rating (out of 5) with over 100 reviews. But, that’s just what the folks at Vegan East have been able to do so far.

Located just a couple miles west of the stadium, Vegan East serves up soups, sandwiches and ridiculously good desserts like cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town for a game!
