the roadhouse cHiCkEn sandwich. i'd change a couple things, but overall, pretty excellent.
Alex K.

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.

Chick'n Mac n Cheese wrap with house salad and a lemon drop martini.
Samantha L.

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.

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. Can't wait to try their chicken and fish dishes.

Popcorn chick'n
Allison M.

Wow. Incredible food. Prices are what you should expect for 2024 specialty food. This is a sit down restaurant with a bar that has a fast casual/takeout option. Modern, minimalistic interior as name would suggest.

Cauliflower Wings

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. Served with carrots, celery and ranch dressing. Ample portions. Also had the Breakfast Burrito. Made is chicken, tofu scramble, sautéed peppers and onions, beans, corn, lettuce, shredded cheddar, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. Comes with breakfast potatoes and tortilla chips. Hubby had the the Chicken Mac and cheese wrap. It was huge!! The chicken is prepared in a dry rub and drizzled with maple syrup. The mac and cheese are stuffed in the wrap with coleslaw, green onions and the TMV sauce. Comes with absolutely delicious french fries. They offer outdoor seating. 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!!

The website can see my location is Las Vegas.... But still the only pick up spot available is 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 ...

Dessert best thing on the menu
Ambirr M.

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 .

The food was good and portioned well. The drinks were really good, but portioned very small.

My friend heard about The Oak Parker from another friend, so we decided to give it a try and now I…read moretotally understand the hype. Walking in, there was very limited seating and about an hour wait, which clearly showed how popular this spot is. Thankfully, the hostess told us about their basement bar area where you can grab drinks and snacks while waiting. The downstairs area had such a cool speakeasy vibe dark ambiance, vinyl music playing, and honestly the perfect date night atmosphere. The drinks were REALLY good, and you can also order appetizers down there. Once we made it upstairs, we grabbed bar seating and talked to a few people around us who all said this was their favorite spot. Our bartender was amazing -- super attentive, explained the menu well, and gave great recommendations. We ordered the wings (perfectly seasoned and so good) and the chicken sandwich with buffalo added for a little spice... absolutely delicious. I also tried the pistachio martini, and wow definitely one of my favorite drinks I've had in a while. Overall, such a great experience from the atmosphere to the food and service. I'll definitely be back, and I've already been telling all my friends about this place!

I'd been invited to a house music night. Upon walking in, I almost thought we were in the wrong…read moreplace! Upon entry, we saw a quaint restaurant. Then someone politely said y'all must be looking for downstairs. Sure were! As it turned out, we were escorted downstairs to what people refer to as the Vinyl Room. The vinyl turntables that night were replaced with computerized ones. The vibe was unsurpassed and the drinks were tasty. I'll be back when I need the good time again.

First time at the Redcoat and I'm already planning my return. I loved EVERYTHING about this place…read morefrom the food to the atmosphere to our amazing server to the outside facade. Before I get to the food, I want to say THANK YOU to our lovely server who welcomed us warmly, made sure we always had what we needed, took our photo, and got our orders right. Now the food...let's start with a shout-out to the kitchen who perfectly executed the widely varied burger topping and temperature combinations for six people. My meal...magically battered onion rings and mushrooms followed by one of the finest burgers I've ever swallowed. 8 oz of flavorful medium rare juicy bliss on a fantastic bun topped with lettuce tomato pickle and cole slaw joy. Truly heaven and I remembered to eat it slowly. Thank you Redcoat for transporting me back to a simpler time when everyone agreed.

How the mighty have fallen. What a shame. I can no longer say Red Coat has one of the best burgers…read morein the area. I can't even say they have a good burger. Wow. Ordered takeout for dinner. Waited a few minutes, but was ready around the time I requested. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger (with Piedmontese beef) and had fries and onion rings. I'll start with the good. The fries were very good. Crispy and salted, they definitely hit the spot. The onion rings were the best I've had. Hearty batter with a perfect crunch. Absolutely delightful and I could have eaten a million of them. Onto the burger. First of all, there was no bacon. If you're charging over $3 for bacon, gotta make sure it makes it on the burger. I also ordered the bun toasted; it was not. Good start. The patty had zero flavor. No seasoning could be detected. The only redeeming part was the burnt onion which I added. They really were burnt but had nice flavor. I'd give the burger a D rating. For $25, it really was a giant disappointment and eff you. Can't say I'm wanting to return. Such a shame. What used to be one of my favorites is now a lowlight. 2 stars because of the sides.
