Folks still get confused that the garage entrance door won't get them into the restaurant. It is mostly a sit down only. The counter space is the kitchen space and check-out, a different layout and setup inside than its predecessors. Not an inexpensive menu here at all. However the menu is quite extensive and expansive for vegan options. Gets a bit chilly without a coat since the door rushes in cold blasts of air to keep the dining area cool. Had to put my coat back on. I was glad I had on warm boots on as well, as I could feel the coolness on my legs. Ordered a protein bowl with steak, the lobster melt and the cowboy burger. $71.02 They are out of guacamole and sweet potatoes, today. :( There is a large party ahead of us with about 14-16 people and their food is slowing down our food from coming out in a timely manner. The protein bowl was okay, the steak was quite dry and definitely overcooked. The green goddess dressing is super thick and creamy, but doesn't have a lot of flavor to it. I was glad to get the lemon vinaigrette dressing to add some tartness and flavor to the overall salad. Some of the chick peas were hard as a rock - quite odd. Not sure this salad was worth $23. The cowboy burger was good, messy, but it stayed intact. $22 seems a bit steep for a vegan burger though. The lobster melt tasted pretty good, however, the white sourdough bread slice didn't hold up so well to each bite and fell apart, rather brittle. I ended up having to gut the sandwich and eat it with fork bites. Eating it as a hand sandwich was too hard to eat. $22 for a composite vegan melt. Hmm. :/ I do like the food choices, the cowboy burger was the better of the 3 picks. Prices are hefty for what you get. read more

Finally made it for Saturday lunch. Disappointed. The ambiance for an afternoon lunch doesn't cut it for me. Music was way too loud asked to turn down and didn't happen. A lot of push on happy hour and I'm not a drinker lots of us vegans are not. Guess that explained the loud drunk guy at the bar cursing up a storm. Is this a bar club or a lunch place that my party can hear me talk? It was 1pm. The Food: Wanted to like it but when it's a beyond burger and a protein bowl that I have to cut each item it's a problem. No real creativity. Vegan food is not just throwing a package meat replacement on a bun and veggies. In house meat replacements, homemade sauces are a must. Scale down the menu quality not quantity. Looked like the Cheesecake Factory menu. Ordered waffles for my son those were good but not what we ordered they ran out of items and forgot all the toppings. The service: Slow ( was only 3 people in the place) and was not what we ordered. Had to keep asking for condiments for food. I don't see this place lasting and sad because I'm sure they put their heart into it. The food has to be on point with items that are made from scratch. My comments may seem harsh but I hope to see them stay in business but make the necessary changes to thrive in the vegan restaurant business. Restaurants are already a hard market to stand out in. Good Luck MV! I don't think I will be coming back. It has to be a heck of a lot better than what I make at home. read more

Good food and good service. I plan to come by again. Just remember the pricing is a bit higher than expected because the tips are preloaded. So feel free to leave an extra tip but you don't have to. Looking forward to trying some of the different dishes. This time I had the crab cakes that were delicious. I would have thought they had crab they were so good.

This was the second time we tried to dine in here, and both times i was denied service even though i came in during open hours. We arrived at 7:20 and the hours posted say they are open until 8pm. We walk in and the server walks right past us without saying a word, goes in the kitchen for about 5 minutes and comes back and says the kitchen is closed.

FINALLY. i had been wanting to try TMV for years but never found my lame ass in Vegas. conveniently enough they decided to say "ope let's go to the midwest." and landed 3 miles from my house. sick! coming on day one, i expected some hiccups, and i do think it'll probably take some time for them to work that all out. from the time we came in until the time we left, it took 2 hours, and it took about 90min for the food to initially come out -- that should be expected (i hope) from people heading in for their opening weekend.. that's okay though, you'll likely spend 30min just looking over their menu. seriously, it's a biggin'. it's also hot as hell inside. i mean the kitchen's right there in the open, but keep in mind that their thermometer read 81 degrees. i ordered the roadhouse and my celiac-riddled girlfriend opted for the pad thai. the staff was crazy helpful and the chef even came out to explain what would be "most" celiac friendly, so cheers to that. the roadhouse (see: pic) is massive. it kinda looks small in the picture without something for scale, but trust me. if you've been to ale mary's, they give you about 2x as many fries, and the sandwich is twice as big. so.. come hungry as shid. seriously. the cHiCkEN looks and tastes comparable to a legit chicken breast. it's wild. the breading was crispy, too. my only critiques i think is that i'd prefer the bbq sauce have some heat to it, or to have jalapenos on the sandwich. maybe an onion ring? i'm getting greedy. as for the fries, nice. it's hard to screw fries up to be fair, but they're good. i recommend their tmv sauce with them. it's like chick-fil-a sauce without the homophobia! how fun. really the thing with this sandwich is that once you pick it up, you can't set it down -- it's a messy b, thanks in large part to the probably-should-be-strained-a-bit coleslaw. overall though, incredible. the pad thai i didn't have any of, but my girlfriend didn't seem impressed. it was oddly creamy (see: pic) and didn't taste like pad thai.. which i guess shouldn't come as a surprise, i suppose? knowing the source? she mostly said, to my surprise, that it was just overall bland. it was also $25 and a pretty meager portion, plus $3 more than my yuuge sandwich and fries. to each their own though! the prices.. yeah, they are definitely steep on the surface (the biggest shock to me happened to be the cocktails... $17-20 each with premium liquor, if i read correctly), but for the amount of food you get -- at least with the sandwiches -- it's worth it. my girlfriend and i were the only ones we saw leaving without a box of leftovers. truly, i do believe they'd be better off shaving their prices a tad and making the portions more manageable for more people, but i'm okay with that. TMV is making a point to vEgAn FoOd iSn'T FiLliNg naysayers that "your ass ain't leaving hungry!" they could also probably benefit from cutting their menu down 50-70% and focusing on meals they truly excel at, rather trying to please everybody with everything. i might be jumping the gun a bit here since today was literally their first day, but i think ale mary's vegan menu is in trouble. i see no reason to pay about the same amount for way less (and more inferior) food at that place when you can come here. regardless, it's damn nice to have another vegan restaurant option in the area, and it's especially great that it's.. well... pretty great. i'm wishing TMV a bunch of success and myself some self-discipline, because it'll be a bitch for me to refrain from ordering from this place weekly. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and so were the drinks. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between this Mac and traditional Mac. The wait time was a bit longer than anticipated but I'm also giving a lot of grace as they literally just opened and I know it takes time to get into the swing of things. While I understand that inflation is a thing, I'm giving four stars because $10 for a side of coleslaw is excessive. This is the second location of TMV, the first being in Vegas. My hope is that they realize that the Midwest needs more Midwest pricing and adjust to make this space more accessible, and possibly pare down the menu as there are so many choices that I worry about overall quality in the long run. I'll definitely be going back, it just won't be until a special occasion. read more

to be honest, I've had a couple weird experiences here. I really love the food and I obviously love that it's entirely vegan as somebody with a dairy allergy. But I get very strange vibes from this place. Every time I come in, it's completely empty. the staff does not seem happy to be there and the food always takes forever. My most recent visit I was trying to place an order online, but the website was not working. I tried on my computer, my phone, and had two other people try it on their computers. It did not work and I could not even view the menu or the website at all it said it was launching soon. So then I called to ask if I could place an order and they said it's against company policy to take orders over the phone so I came in and placed the order and had to wait an extra 20 mins than I would have had to by placing it over the phone or online. while I was waiting for my food an employee was sitting at the counter next to me talking very rudely to another employee, telling her about smoothies and milkshakes and how to do things properly while the other employee seemed visibly uncomfortable by the way she was speaking, and it was kind of awkward. It was pretty unprofessional and weird to be talking to another coworker in that way, right in front of a customer. I can't imagine this place is a fun environment to work in or eat at. Not to mention the insane prices, especially on DoorDash. I know restaurants have to charge on DoorDash because of their fees, but it is quite insane to be paying $25 for a sandwich and fries. overall, i can't see this place lasting long which is sad, because their food is really good. the website is just never working for me still and says launching soon. even the vegas website is messed up too read more

The menu is inaccessible via their website and the pictures of the menu that you can find in yelp have astronomical prices. I have been vegan and lived in this area for many years now and cannot believe that a restaurant would charge so much. You can literally walk 0.2 miles down the road to Ale Marys and get the same food for a fraction of the price. The vegan market is niche, however you cannot charge Las Vegas prices in Metro Detroit. read more

The Modern Vegan - Popcorn chick'n - Vegan Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

The Modern Vegan is a new restaurant in Royal Oak (near the Emagine Theatre. Enjoyed the cauliflower wings. Breaded and fried. Can get them tossed hot sauce or zesty BBQ sauce.

There is a bar section with tv's for watching sports or news. Service staff are well trained. Food service is a little slow. Great place to check imout before or after a movie or just hang out. They offer cocktails, salads, waffles, protein Buddha Bowls and dessert - of course!! read more

We were there for two hours and boxed up the last two meals. I can't even write out how I truly feel because it would be too long, so I'll sum it up. Horrible service. Horrible wait time. Over-priced. Most of the food was good but sadly I won't be back and even more sadly, the place will probably be closed down by then due to the experience they offer. I understand the industry but all it would've taken to make this a little better of an experience would've been an apologetic or at least self AWARE server instead of them treating us as an inconvenience... each meal came out 20 minutes apart. Just horrible. read more

Parking is a hassle depending on when you go it's Royal oak . The earlier the better in my opinion . This is my second time coming the cha cha cha dessert is the best thing on the menu . My son had the great American pretzel burger he liked it . My oldest son had the taco nachos and they were decent at best. I had the chicken Alfredo regrettably worst dish there in my opinion basically they used sweet coconut milk which insane if they switch that out it will be bland but decent. The popcorn chikn is really good though I'd say go for drinks and dessert maybe a appetizer if you starving don't even . read more

The Modern Vegan - Dessert best thing on the menu - Vegan Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

If I could leave a 0 star I would ... I usually don't leave reviews but this one of those bad experiences I feel like I needed to. I live in Las Vegas and I was ordering to pick up in Las Vegas which I have done plenty times before. The order was sent to the Michigan location for what reason I don't know, it has my location and never does that. So I get to pick up my food at the Las Vegas one and they said they didn't have it. So the Las Vegas location gave me a QR code to scan so I could order from there... again .... Even the QR code gave me the Michigan location as the only option... so I can the Michigan location and express to them what has happened and the told me to call Owner.com to get a refund... I called owner.com and they said I would not be able to get a refund even the app and the QR was messed up... so I called Modern Vegan Michigan back and she took back what she said saying I never said that ... read more

Oh dear. Have been trying to eat more plant-based and decided to come here before the movies. Well, we get in and there is a near empty restaurant. Upon seating, we try to get a glass of wine. "We've run out of wine". We tried to order one of the appetizers. "We're out of spinach dip." The first appetizer came - "cheese" fries. They use what appears to be a nut-based "cheese" sauce and well .. it tasted nutty and was gritty. I have a Vita-Mix at home and can get better texture. I ordered the Protein Buddha Bowl. Friends, this is not a bowl. This was served with green vegetables on one side and a portabella mushroom topped with cheese and other stuff on the other side. Chickpeas are listed, but did not appear. No peppers, tomatoes or carrots either. In fact, there was no protein in the deconstructed protein bowl. This was so incredibly disappointing. And, I have not got to the prices. My plate of greens and a cheese topped mushroom was $23. The burgers are $22. Most entrees are $25. It is okay to charge higher prices when the food is high quality, ingredients are readily available and the food matches the description in the menu. If you can't hit these basic check marks, consider reducing prices. As my dinner date/sister said, "It's better to order vegan/vegetarian dishes at a restaurant known for good food than it is to go to these types of restaurants". The difficult part for me is that plant-based can be great - Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan is now nearly completely plant-based, meals can run over $1000 with wine, and people come out saying its the best meal it is ever had. When you provide a terrible meal at these prices, it sours people about the concept. And the last thing we need is people giving up on plant-based. The service was kind, though. No issues with waitress or timeliness of food coming out. I felt like she was in a tough position. read more

All of the effort that went into the concept of an entirely vegan restaurant with such an expansive menu was absolutely wasted on the worst service I have ever had -- TWICE. I was hoping the initial experience was a fluke, but twice, months apart, I spent OVER AN HOUR waiting for what I ordered at this restaurant with only 1-2 other parties in the building. Staff refused to answer repeated questions about nut-based products to confirm allergens -- and not just in a, the answer is on the menu type of way; in a "is this vegan cheese nut based? it's made of predominantly carrots. so are there nuts?" with no response after repeated follow ups. The staff has zero remorse for wasting your time. Not a single apology after repeated asks for an ETA of our orders -- 20 mins apart. I feel so compelled to post this so others aren't scammed into a truly awful experience. Of one appetizer and three entrees, it took us 30 mins after ordering to receive water. Another 20 mins to get the appetizer. And another 20 mins apart for one entree at a time. The ambiance was uncomfortably peculiar. We expressed clear verbal and physical exasperation that it took over an hour to receive our meals, with zero response, apology, even a two way conversation. I'm devastated for what could be but there is no way I could even stand idly by at this point. So awful. Food is NOT worth any ounce of this -- I would suggest what Ferndale has to offer!!! read more

The Modern Vegan - Vegan Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I have followed a vegan diet for almost three decades at this point and know what good vegan food should taste like. This place needs to work on a few things. To be blunt, service was fine but the food was bland and uninteresting. The produce, tofu, and mashed potatoes had virtually no seasoning. My guess is the kitchen has no idea how to season things and they are using lower quality ingredients. The kitchen seemed to struggle with getting orders out while the rest of the staff was just standing around. Perhaps management and the ownership needs to hire less servers and more cooks, and make sure the cooks have proper training. Anyone in the kitchen also needs to be wearing a hat or hairnet. One more thing. My spouse tried to order one basic item and the restaurant was out of a basic ingredient. No excuse for that when it's literally something that one of the staff standing around could have purchased down the street. I don't see this place sticking around in a competitive market unless they tune quite a few things up. I won't be back unless they seriously improve. read more

I had the worst customer service experience I've ever encountered at any restaurant, from Robby at the Royal Oak, MI location. I placed an order online but mistakenly selected pickup instead of delivery. I immediately called TMV Royal Oak and spoke to Robby, I explained that I needed to switch my order to delivery. He immediately became defensive, interrupted me, and told me they don't offer delivery. He kept sighing showing his frustration. I mentioned that I had placed a delivery order just last week. He once again insisted that there is no delivery option available. I pointed out that the website indicates delivery is available and that Uber Eats handles deliveries. Robby rudely told me that I would just have to call Uber Eats. I once again told him I didn't place a delivery order. I selected pickup by mistake. Robby told me I would need to call corporate to cancel the order. He said that the TMV website is not connected to the Royal Oak store. It is a franchise. When I asked Robby for the corporate phone number, he ungraciously stated, "I'm just an employee; I don't know." He didn't attempt to find the number or provide any form of customer service. Fortunately, Autumn called me back and had a completely different tone. She was warm and helpful. She informed me that they could cancel my order through their store, and I could place a new delivery order. I thanked her and let her know that was all I was requesting. What started as a simple request turned into my decision to stop being a customer due to the rude treatment I received from Robby. Management should provide him with additional customer service training before he interacts with any more customers. This company will definitely loose more customers if they are treated like I was today. read more

We arrived around 7:30 on a Friday night to a restaurant that never was more than 1/3 full during our visit, and were immediately seated at a high top. Our server was a little delayed in taking our order (two waters, one banh mi and one lobster sandwich, with a side of standard fries for each), but what really took the cake was that we waited a FULL HOUR to receive our order, during which time we saw people leaving after being seated, and guests immediately boxing up their food after being served. Once we'd reached the hour mark, we asked the server if they'd started our order. We'd wait if they'd already started, and were prepared to scoot if not. She apologized for the wait and said new restaurant ... to be expected ... issues with the kitchen ... blahblahblah. (They were floundering something horrible, even five weeks post-launch.) Our server checked with the kitchen and said they were just cutting the lobster sandwich in half. So, dinner was within reach. She brought one sandwich and said, "tragically, we are out of fries," and offered salad or sweet potato fries instead. The sandwiches and sweet potato fries were pretty good! But definitely not worth an hour-long wait. This was not a busy restaurant: we saw seven team-members and not much hustle. We noticed a range of 3-5 tickets queued up in the kitchen at a time - a well-oiled kitchen would handle that volume with ease. I would like to see this place succeed. But there is work to be done. At the very least, customer expectation management: let your guests know if there is an "issue in the kitchen" that would warrant an unreasonable wait ... this eatery shares a parking lot with a movie theater, and people are likely hoping to get a bite in a timely manner so they don't miss their flick. If the place is still in business after a few months, we may return in hopes their operations are up to par. read more

Some of these reviews of one must be self entitled people, and are unfair. I am not a Royal Oak person but didnt find it too difficult to find a parking spot. Met a friend and as a new restaurant just getting thier start the wait time was not too bad for 6pm on a Thursday. We ordered the roadhouse and The cowboy. Both were served after about 15 minutes and were quite enjoyable. Cudos to the chef/cook. The atmosphere is comfortable and not too load. The price​ is id say $$ which in my opinion is awesome since i eat out about once a year and enjoyed not having to prepare the meal, and now days I find a burger meal on menus i look at online are very comparable, so in reality the price is on target...also its one of the healthiest options for restaurants. I am sad thought because I was too stuffed to order desserts. Give them a try well worth it! I will be going back. Also i have rarely given a 5 star review. read more

I'm a vegan influencer in Detroit and to see something like this was quite disappointing. I know it's opening week but I was told 20 minutes to get a table and waited 59 minutes. A lot of workers were standing around not doing much to support the kitchen that was busting their butts. I saw a lot of wasted labor and not a lot of team work. The customer service was okay. I understand they were all stressed out but the place could have been better prepared because this as a first impression was cheeks. No hairnets were seen on the cooks heads. One lady had a bandana on which was nice. The ambience felt very rushed and artificial. The baseboards were dirty. The paint jobs on some walls were tacky and you can tell one was spray painted. It looks cheap. The painter left a trail of black paint drips across the floor. Whoever they hired to prep the building needs to give them their money back. The pineapple in my pina colada was old and tasted odd. The drink itself was mostly foam. The other drinks we got tasted like mocktails and were quite flavorless. 2/10 and the two is for the effort. The food over all was a 6/10 the Mac and cheese was runny. The flavor was great but did not stick to the noodles well. I wasn't too impressed. The queen burger was a solid 7/10 the crab cakes were great and the jalapeño poppers were undercooked because the cheese inside was not melted. I see the vision though. A lot of the deserts weren't able to be made because they didn't have many ingredients which was understandable. I'll give it a month to come back when hopefully they have everything sorted out. First impressions are everything but I always give a place a second chance. read more

I have tried about 8 different things and everything has been very good and they for most meals give you good portions (I can get 2-3 meals out one order usually). I have had the Frenchie (French Toast), Sunday Funday (Pancakes), Louisiana Fried Chick'n, French Toast Bacon Grilled, Chick'n Mac and Chesse, The Game Changer Burger, etc. I have never ate at the restaurant, only deliveries and that is an issue as they use UBER and about a third of the time, UBER has screwed up. Today, UBER even claimed to have delivered my order before it was even packed at the restaurant. It makes for a big waste of time, once UBER messes something up. It took 3 hours to get my food. I recommend Modern Vegan drop UBER or put them on notice that they have to improve. Today I tried to contact UBER's 2nd driver and he only spoke Spanish and he was lost. read more

I've been excited since hearing last winter that TMV was coming to Royal Oak, woohoo! After visiting on its 7th day open, I'm giving it 3 stars because the service and prices need improvement (1 star), but the food & portion sizes were great (5 stars). There was just one server at dinnertime; she was sweet but inexperienced, slow, overwhelmed. The menu is massive (they were out of several items) & the prices are high for this market: $22-30 for burgers, $23 for bowls & wraps, $25 for fave entrees, $10 for sides, etc. Prices you wouldn't blink at in their Vegas location, but they're high for Michigan. Cocktails are $16-20 but the bar was out of beer, out of ginger beer, out of Cointreau (which I learned only after I was served a margarita without it and inquired). The FOOD, though! The crabcakes were huge and tasty, the bacon chick'n ranch wrap was great, as were the cheese fries/poutine, & a few items en route to other tables looked fantastic. The kitchen nailed it! WE NEED THIS RESTAURANT HERE; there's definitely a market, and RO is the perfect location. But I agree with Samantha L.'s suggestion above that they consider trimming the menu and reducing prices (by about a third each). Also there's a problem trying to get to and order through the RO website online; TMV needs to fix that. We'll definitely be back, but I'll give them a little more time to get over the opening bumps. read more
