I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, so Modern Love shouldn't be written off if you're not either, because it's that good. So good that you might order way too many dishes and end up with leftovers you really regret not taking because it's still summer and you're headed to a broadway show after... hypothetically. One item on the menu that I did find confusing was the description of burgers without some kind of vegetable predecessor description. But that's just a function of the society we live in... guess I'm just programmed to think burger = meat. (Not here). Honestly the reason it took me so long to visit this restaurant was simply because of the vegan and vegetarian vibe... And really that's not an excuse. It's a gem of a place and we're lucky to have it in town. I look forward to more returns! read more

I'm going to be honest here and say that I wasn't expecting much because is vegan restaurant but I was BLOWN AWAY!! The flavor, the dishes, the desserts are all delicious and makes you wanting more! Specially the flavors on the cauliflower wings, I have no idea how they do it but it something you have to eat to believe how good they are. The same could be said about their "Mac and cheese" putting it quite because they don't use cheese but that what they call it. It's all amazing and I highly recommend to anyone that is looking to try and experience a vegan restaurant where they do amazing food! read more

The food and service were OUTSTANDING. I eat meat 4 out of 7 days and vegetarian 3 out of 7 days a week. I would rate this on par with the best restaurant of its class anywhere. I had the Reuben. It really was terrific. My friend had the chicken bacon sandwich. He loved it. The fact that they were vegetarian actually made them more appealing. This is a place which absolutely can, and does, please a carnivore as well as a herbivore. Do not be intimidated or put off by the fact it is vegetarian restaurant. It is just plain old GREAT. If you're looking for something both different and familiar you should try Modern Love in Omaha, Nebraska. I STRONGLY recommend this restaurant, and feel it will be enjoyed by BOTH vegetarians and meat eaters. read more

I LOVED this place! My friend recommended it and I was really wowed by the whole experience. It's a funky space with really cool interior design; one that just makes you feel happy being around. The menu has a great variety and the portions are really huge. I think it would be good to go with a couple of people and split dishes. Everything is really fresh as it's seasonal. I started with their brussels sprouts and loved the presentation of it, down to the angled bowl they served it in. I devoured them all. I got the "chicken and gravy" as my entree which was good, but I found the mushrooms to be a bit hard to get through. It ended up being way more than I could eat but still a good meal. This restaurant is a must stop in Omaha. read more

I am from out of town but every time I visit Omaha, I always have to make a stop here. I have tried a good portion of their menu throughout the years so let me try to give you a run down of what I really loved: My must try's: -Nachos Molo: the best vegan nachos I've had, every ingredient on here is delicious and the portion is enormous. Good to split with another person or two - mushroom fried chick'n: it is pricey but the breading on the oyster mushroom is so good and crispy and it's ultimate comfort food with mash potatoes -potato chimichanga: I don't know why this isn't a permanent menu item because it's so delicious and has a great crunch/textures Everything else I liked: seitan and cauliflower wings, garlic Parmesan Brussels, kale Caesar, Crunchwrap (brunch), chick'n and waffles (brunch) , all desserts here are great For me, I don't love the mac and shrews or the cheeseburger. They are still good, but I have had a better mac and cheese it feels like a little sweet and could be more garlicky. The cheeseburger is good but the meatiness of it is a little off and with all the other options, I think you should try them instead since many restaurants offer a vegan burger. The shakes are delicious but sometimes they are too thick and need multiple straws lol That being said, I love you modern love and it's creativity in making vegan food not boring!! read more

My primary reason for coming to Omaha was to dine at this restaurant, and I was not disappointed! The interior is incredibly stylish, the staff was friendly and attentive. I went twice, once for lunch and then again for dinner. For lunch I had the buffalo seitan wings, chick'n bacon ranch with potato salad, and a butterfly lemonade. The seitan wings had the perfect level of heat and a slight crispiness, the sandwich was flavorful on all fronts and every bite was a satisfying as the last, the potato salad was excellent too. The butterfly lemonade was very refreshing. For dinner I went with the original mac & shews and the strawberry swirl shake for dessert. The mac was excellent. Rich, flavorful, a subtle heat that made the dish taste warm without being too spicy, and the kale and crispy chick'n tofu added a perfect amount of flavor and crunch respectively. I got the strawberry shake to go, as I had a long walk back to my hotel ahead of me. The shake was a pitch perfect finish to my meal. I have been to many a vegan restaurant in my lifetime, but this stands as one of the best if not the best restaurant I have yet dined at. Absolutely worth the trip. read more

Came to modern love today for lunch. Been a few years since I last visited them. Wow was I pleasantly surprised. Everything we had was delicious! This is very well crafted vegan food. From the Buffalo sauce on our cauliflower, to the white pepper gravy on the chk'n fried mushrooms all was absolutely so amazing. Even if your a daily meat eater you cannot walk out of here not happy. Look forward to coming back more . read more

While passing through Omaha and craving some vegan food, we luckily found Modern Love. Opting for takeout dinner, we ordered the Cauliflower Buffalo Wings and the flavorful Mushroom Fried Chick'n as our main courses. While also craving a glass of wine, we were pleased to discover they offered full bottles for takeout, and we selected a white wine. We finished our meal with a yummy, peanut butter shake. Hope to pass by again! read more

How have I not been here before? I am a very stubborn lactose intolerant person and refuse to give up dairy (I've always got my lactase pills on hand). I'm so glad to now have a place that I can eat at completely worry-free. My boyfriend got the potato chorizo chimichanga and absolutely loved it - which is saying a lot because he tends to be a little wary of vegan food. I got the mushroom fried chicken and was also pleased with how it turned out. I have to admit, I wish I ordered the mac and shews. I tried a bite of my sister's plate of it and was in love. The milkshake is also bomb, and I wish I had extra room in my stomach to order another dessert to split with everyone. I'll definitely be returning soon for Mac and shews and to try one of their desserts! read more

Food has changed over time and not nearly as good as it used to be. Unfortunately on my last visit the server tried to rip me off and overcharged my credit card for nearly $20. Clearly wasn't an accident as when I pointed it out he didn't even look at the receipt before saying he would correct the bill. The space is nice overall but time will tell if the food gets back to its original quality. read more

My first time here and we liked it. The service was great and so were the drinks! We also enjoyed dessert. The cauliflower wings are really a must try. I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. It was okay. I think it needed a bit more seasoning. I'll come back and try the Mac and cheese! read more

If you love nachos, but want to go the vegan route, then modern love is the place to get them out. Typically if you get nachos to-go, the chips can be a bit soggy, but not here. My chips had the right amount of crunch on every bite. My taste buds were very happy after I ate here! read more

Meh. My husband and I eat at a ton of plant-based restaurants so we Ubered here from Old Town for brunch. The food was "whelming," just sort of whatever, which isn't a great report given the price. I ordered the seitan and waffles and somehow the waffle came out barely cooked but the seitan was cooked so long it was tough and dry. My husband's chicken bacon ranch sandwich was much better, but the fries were the real star of the show. I'd happily order those if I ever returned, but I can't imagine that will happen. That's largely based on the service and experience. When we arrived at 12pm on a Sunday (an hour after opening), we were the third table seated. After waiting probably half an hour for food, we were told that it had "been a slow start" that morning. We shrugged it off because we weren't in a rush, but then for the food to not be properly cooked was very disappointing. The icing on top was our interactions with the staff. We asked if the coffee included refills (pretty standard for black coffee) and were met with a very quick "no." Totally get that's your policy, but it's an odd way to treat a customer who you've already told you aren't serving in a timely fashion by your comment about the slow start. A refill would have been an easy and incredibly inexpensive way to make up for some lost ground with the time it took for the food to come out. Toward the end of our meal, another server came by to offer to bring the check when we were ready, despite still having plates full of food. We acknowledged her but didn't ask for it, and it arrived almost instantly (unlike everything else). She then began bussing the table while we, again, still had food on our plates and there was no indication we were done. We had gone ahead and paid because it was obvious she wanted to close out our ticket, but I had literally taken a fry off my husband's plate as she arrived at the table to clear it. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but I just think this needs to be said given all the really good reviews. Perhaps today was an anomaly (I hope so!) but I'd hate for any other tourists to make the trip from downtown when there are TONS of fantastic food options (including vegan) right there. read more

Before getting into the negative, let me say that the upscale/comfy decor of Modern Love was great. Most of the food was really good and that is saying something considering that six people out of the seven in our party are meat lovers. The biggest negative food wise, was the chickpea cutlet which was extremely thin and dry. It represented more of a beef jerky texture than a cutlet. The buffalo wings had a good buffalo sauce and excellent dip, however, the triangular shape does not represent wings very well and the seitan was more of a very dense meatball than chicken texture. The largest negative for the entire night was the service. We had to get our waiter and waitress's (yes we had two) attention on numerous occasions. Our drinks took an extremely large amount of time coming to us, then we waited an additional 20 to 25 minutes just to order our food, after the food came we were not checked on until one of us went up to the bar and flagged our waiter down. At this point we had no more drinks including our water, and none of our food had been cleared. Due to it being my daughter's birthday she wanted a milkshake at the end but she was really excited about considering that she is one that is the vegan and wanted to try something new. We received her bill and waited an additional 10 minutes before finally going up to the house and asking for a milkshake. After five more minutes we ended up being able to take the milkshake with us and leave. This sounds a bit like a rant, but I was so surprised that this is a place where I would've had some of the worst service ever. Even though this place is vegan and has some great food quality, there's no way we will return due to the service and the high menu prices. Happy eating Yelpers! read more

Modern Love is horrible neighbor to the hundreds of people with whom it shares it's building. They get a food deliveries at 3:30am from noisy semis with backup beepers and the drivers slam the loading ramp on the ground like it's 3:30 in the afternoon. read more

We were staying at the Cottonwood a few blocks away, so we walked down with dogs to get takeout. The restaurant is pretty and comfortable; I would have liked to eat in! Had a nice cocktail while waiting. We split buffalo cauliflower wings and a Goddess Salad. Both were great. If we get to return, I would have a hard time deciding whether to try something new, or get the same order again. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Love is the correct word choice here. I found this restaurant that describes itself as "swanky vegan comfort food" while spending the night in Omaha. I am so glad I did. The BBQ Tofu Bowl was incredible. It had BBQ tofu ribs, blackeyed peas, jasmine rice, sautéed collared greens and I added avocado. The flavors were plentiful and the service was top rate. I don't know if I'll ever be back in Omaha but if I do I will definitely eat at Modern Love, maybe more than once read more

Driving from DC to Denver and trying to find vegetarian options can be a challenge in middle America. Thank you, Yelp, for helping me find this gem that was easy to get to from I-80 and made for a surprising and memorable lunch experience in Omaha. The food was all delicious and not just "for vegan food". It was lovingly and expertly conceived and prepared. Our party of three had seitan Buffalo wings, Fried Mozzarella, Greek salad, Mushroom Fried Chik'n, and Classic Mac and Chews. I would order all of them again but when I return, I would want to explore the rest of the menu. If in Omaha, plan to stop in for a plant-based feast made and served with love. read more

The quality of service has gone down here dramatically. Most times they are either out of the nice sides to a dish that really make it, or they give you too much, or too little food, and the only times there's consistency is when the owner is in the state. The majority of the menu is salty and fried foods. Dirty tables, spoons, and cups don't help the ambiance. read more

I love this place. The menu is a bit restricted as they have only a few things during the season but whenever you order, you'll absolutely not regret it. I tried the cauliflower Buffalo wings today and I'll be honest it was so good I even forgot to take a picture. read more

Modern Love - Mac and cheese with fried tofu - Vegan Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The staff is super nice and I want to love this place! I can see myself maybe visiting again / wanting to come to Omaha just to come here again, granted it's pricey and my experience today was eh so maybe not? So I'll start with the bad first; they don't carry the Snickers Pie anymore for some reason, so I tried to get something similar. The Peanut Butter Cup cheese cake sucked, it was bland. I wish I could've found a picture here first. I thought it would have caramel drizzled on the top, i guess it was in it? I didn't taste caramel at all. If you do order it you're going to want to give it time to melt a bit because it comes pretty hard, as most cheesecakes do fresh out the freezer. Its also more of a grainy kind of cheesecake- sort of like those protein balls you can get at the store- Like a protein bar- instead of the smooth daiya stuff you can get at the grocery store- which honestly, if you wanted this you could just pick up a chocolate daiya cheesecake, let it sit out a bit and cover with peanut butter and graham cracker sprinklings on top. When it was completely melted i could taste the chocolate and caramel more but the protein bar center remained. I feel like calling this cheesecake is a stretch. I only ate a bite and was kinda done with it but I didn't want to be a bother and try to get a refund since i purchased and had a bite. Plus the staff was nice and some visibly alternative and I didn't want to give them a hard time. It sucked to waste $10 on a grainy cheesecake slice though. So the next was the ice cream. I'm convinced what i was given wasnt the peanut butter, as my friend got the peanut butter shake- which was AWESOME! Super tasty, recommend. But this had some kind of orange fruity tasting parts in it? I didn't realize it was probably not it until my last couple bites and once against didn't want to be a bother. I wish i got my caramel sauce on the side, or asked about the orange pieces when I came back to get the caramel on because they forgot to put it on my ice cream (luckily i bucked up and bothered them about that- because it was extra and was forgotten as opposed to something I've already eaten) All that aside, besides wasting $10 on a bland gritty cheesecake slice and getting the wrong ice cream scoop the mint chip scoop was nice, (pretty small for $2.60~) it had nice dark chocolate slices of different sizes. It's a more crunchy thing, with bigger than usually chips so if you're looking for mint with hints of chocolate that's not the one for you. The Dutch chocolate scoop was nice, i don't know how Dutch chocolate is suppose to taste but paired with the caramel (which was great! I don't know what it was made of- i think it was coconut? It was more of a sauce and had little black specks. Tasty) The peanut butter shake was really tasty! It was my favorite and sadly wasn't mine. I would recommend that above all else here. I definitely encourage people to try this place out, and want to give it 5 stars as an all vegan restaurant with nice alternative staff and a clean look (if that wasn't the case this probably would've been 2 stars?), but I spent $20~ in the end to enjoy a very small scoop of mint chip and chocolate ice cream with caramel. If my friend hadn't let me have some sips of their peanut butter shake I would've been way sadder and felt pretty ripped off. I definitely feel like all vegan spaces and spaces that employ alternative people are important. I hope they can get their service together a bit more (i came at like 11:30AM, it wasn't like people were tired) and hopefully bring back the snickers pie / maybe change their cheesecake so it's smoother? read more

It's great to see a fully vegan restaurant in Omaha. We tried the nachos, chicken bacon ranch sandwich, Reubens sandwich, and the peanut butter vanilla ice cream sundae. All were good, but I would say that $17 is steep for the nachos. Service was friendly and helpful. The mushroom bacon is unique and tasty. It's definitely worth a try. read more

Ok listen. I like steak and chicken and all that jazz. BUT you must try Modern Love, meat-lover or not. They somehow have crafted the most perfect vegan menu, it would be an injustice not to try everything! Here are some of my faves: Sriracha Honey Cauliflower Wings, Nachos Molo, & Chana Masala The menu varies as ingredients change! The food is always delish (& vegan!!) and service is always a 10/10. Tip: make a reservation before hand if you've got a group of 3+ read more

So my husband and I happened to be walking by and decided to come here. We really liked the inclusive language that was on display in their front window and thought we would give it a shot. It was only when we say the menu that we realized it was a vegan restaurant. We had never had vegan food before, so we decided to give it a shot. The drinks were AMAZING. My husband had a pasta dish which was good. I tried a seitan burger, and I didn't like it. I can't decide if this a problem with the restaurant or a problem with my expectations. Should a person who typically doesn't eat vegan be able to enter a vegan restaurant and not taste the difference? Or is vegan cuisine an acquired taste and I should expect something a little different? We loved the decor and the overall feel of the place, but in the end, it wasn't for us. That may be more of an "us" problem, so I still encourage you to check it out for yourself! read more

Truly among the best of the best for vegan dining. Never had a dish that I didn't like. This time we got the kale salad, always a fav. Wings were exceptional as always. We tried the honee sandwich by our server's recommendation and it was incredible, sweet and crispy tofu like you've never had before. Also had fried chik'n and potatoes which was yum. Love this place. If you are going out in a group of vegans, vegetarians and omnivores this is a perfect option because it's just amazing food that happens to be vegan. read more

Lately, the cook is not changing her dishes to appeal to the healthier client - still too much salt and sugar on the menu.

I am overdue in writing this review, as I got to be there in Omaha for the grand reopening of Modern Love. What an absolute treat! From the ambience (check out the wall paper!) to the incredible food, Modern Love totally did it for me. I'm vegetarian, and what often happens is people hear "vegan." So when my friend, who is neither, suggested we go here, I did remind her -- "Mama loves cheese" She assured me I wouldn't miss it at this place. And she was right! I will add to the chorus of "Mac 'n Shews" fans -- by far my favorite of the evening. If you are a mushroom lover, get anything with mushrooms in it; be sure you're committed, though. If you're "just okay" with mushrooms, you'll end up kinda overwhelmed by them. The shepherd's pie was probably my least favorite of what we got -- appetizers were all awesome. Definitely plan to return next time I'm in Omaha! read more

I went early on a Sunday evening as a solo diner. The Buffalo Mac and shrews was delicious- I am not vegan and would definitely recommend this as a very good, regular Mac and cheese.

I am a tough customer for vegan restaurants. Despite being a long-time (mostly) veggie, my vegan skepticism is high and I also had a terrible vegan dining experience 20 years ago in Boulder, Colorado. The tofu pudding dessert was truly disgusting and memorable in all the wrong ways. But, I digress. Modern Love is not in the past and does a terrific job bringing higher-end vegan food to historically meat and potatoes Omaha, Nebraska. In two recent visits, a special gnocchi dish (too many weird garlic and foamy sauces that detracted from the pasta and tomato sauce) was a definite miss, but I loved a pumpkin curry dish that had a nice blend of sweet and spicy. I also loved the cardamom gimlet cocktail, definitely good enough to order more than one. Service was attentive, even for a group of 8, and I recommend Modern Love even for the most hesitant or skeptical customer. read more

Driving across country we always try to find new vegan places. This had good reviews mainly. One said it was prepared unhealthy but only one mainly. So we tried. I got the chickpea sandwich it was so greasy dripping on my hand I ate less than half. The bun was nice and soft. The taste was not bad but I couldn't stomach eating all that oil. The fries were even worse. I think maybe four were somewhat edible the rest were soaked in grease. My husband had the Reuben and he said it was good. Not greasy. The potato salad was good. I would come back to try the main entrees. read more

Absolutely everything we've had so far is good! The first time we tried Modern Love was earlier last year when I had to go on a strict no dairy diet because my newborn baby couldn't tolerate dairy in my diet. My next door neighbor pushed me to try it out so we ended going in together on a take out order. We got an order of the wings and a few of their chocolate peanut butter shakes as our first sampling. Wow. I had long heard good things about them, but did not expect it to taste THIS good. My kids all obsessed (and fought) over the chocolate PB shake and my husband and I obsessed (and maybe fought for the last piece) of the cauliflower wings. Mind you, my husband comes from a long line of meat eaters and BBQ enthusiasts and even he said, "Some restaurants don't even do regular chicken wings this good." The vegan ranch that came with the wings were also phenomenal. Fast forward to later in the Summer of 2020 we had some friends come into town who are plant-based. Without a doubt we decided to order a pan of the Mac and Shews and Wings to accompany our meal. While the Mac and Shews tasted delicious, my kids were not fooled and only about half of them ate it. I enjoyed it, however, the wings are by far our favorite item so far. We certainly plan on trying more items (any recommendations?) in the near future. If I could eat Modern Love every day, I can easily make the switch to veganism! read more

Tiny amount of portobella for the price as well...4 small slices...not that I feel comfortable eating this now anyway. read more

I was in Omaha for a business trip and wanted Vegan nachos. This restaurant popped up on my search and the reviews were good. I drove across town for these nachos and it was totally worth the drive. The nachos were made perfectly and tasted amazing. I would love to have this recipe! The chips were really good as well. The neighborhood/building is older and updated with modern decor.

I cannot believe I have not written a review for this place! First of all, I am in shock that a place like this exists in Omaha. And, my meat eating friends even like it. My first visit was at the old location. I had a Chicken fried steak, pureed rot veggies(think mashed potatoes, with gravy, and brussel sprouts that were cooked so perfectly, my taste buds were doing cartwheels. I couldn't believe it! The presentation was so well done I did not want to eat it! The home cooked, comfort meal took over my senses and i could not help myself. After that experience, every night I am in Omaha, I eat here or get take out. Food is off the hook!!!! and now with the expanded location in the crossings area, there is nothing that should hold you back.. Amazing food... remember the other locations in Brooklyn. read more

I am from Philly and there's a great vegan fast food place near my house that does everything well except their Philly cheesesteak.

So being a hardcore non-vegetarian, still I came to this place and was not disappointed at all. The ambience is great and they have a lot of seating space. The view of the downtown skyline is wonderful. It's a vegetarian bliss. The food was great and the classic mimosa with it was amazing. We ordered the shrooms n grits and crispy chick ' n sandwich. The server was nice n friendly. I am just taking out a star because of the cleanliness of the restrooms. They were a little unkept which I think can be taken care of. read more

Our favorite vegan/vegetarian spot in Omaha. Highly recommend making a reservation if you are trying to dine in on the weekend. The ambiance there is amazing & I adore the social justice poster on the door. As of 7/11/22 the staff is still wearing masks, which I really appreciate. The food this time wasn't as amazing as it usually is but we picked up at 830pm so the cook may have just been tired. Fries - I'm a fry snob & prefer mine crispy; these are definitely for those who love softer fries. Will choose a different side next time. Sietan buffalo wings: definitely has some kick. Very dense & filling - could be an entree if eating alone. This was a first time getting for us & we prefer the cauliflower wings & would order those next times. Philly Steak Sandwich: meat eating boyfriend says that it really did taste like meat. Good bread, would possibly order again. Classic Mac & Shews: my standard order. The kale was perfect as always. Tofu tasted saltier than normal and the pasta wasn't cooked as much as it normally is and was kind of crispy. If it was my first time having it I wouldn't order again but since they make the best vegan Mac in the city - I know I'll be craving it again soon. read more

Nice drinks, GF cider options as well. It's somewhat upscale, hardcover menus, desserts, the whole shebang. Honestly I would move to Omaha just to eat here again.
