Modern Market Eatery

We’ve been to Modern Market a number of times and always love it. Everything we’ve had has been fresh and flavorful. We came this time for a fundraiser night for my daughter’s gymnastics team. We ordered the Thai Coconut salad and Lemongrass Tuna bowl - both were delicious. I also had wine, which was terrible. For $3 a glass you shouldn’t expect much, but this tasted very watered down. I’ve had it before and it’s never been this bad. We also ordered the cranberry oat cookie, paid for it, and were then told they were out of them. My only option was to choose another kind. So I ended up buying a cookie I didn’t want. At least some of that money went to support the gymnastics team.

This is my favorite fast-casual chain in the area. The prices are really good for the quality of food, and I appreciate being able to order half sizes as well. The app experience is easy for pickup. The rewards program is great and easy to use. I also really appreciate bowl Tuesday for a $7 bowl of the week.

I came here during my lunch break and was a little disappointed about the wait but let me tell you the crew was hustling! The manager (I think, she has a pumpkin tattoo on her forearm) was doing an amazing job making food, motivating her employees, dealing with upset customers all while keeping a positive attitude. I don’t normally leave reviews but she was doing such a kickass job I just had to compliment her.

Went in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were promptly informed by the kitchen staff that they were unable to do ANY sandwiches. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind this because there was bread visible, but okay. No sandwiches. Maybe there was no meat, or perhaps none to make the sandwiches? We order our food and they have one guy assembling the meals AND bringing it to the tables. It takes a bit of time, as you can imagine. The food itself was passable. I got a chicken bowl which was decently flavorful. My friend got a steak salad (which she hated and did not finish, I'm not sure how you can mess up steak?) and my other friend got a keto bowl, which she said was okay. The best thing we had was a curry soup, so I'd recommend that if it's still on the menu. I should also note the employee attitudes were rather poor. The cashier seemed distracted and uninterested. Indeed, he was trying to run the register and bus tables at the same time. The guy running the food might bring you a fork with your food, he might tell you to go get it yourself. If the leadership for modern market eatery reads these reviews I would suggest the following: Get out of your offices and check out what is happening in your stores. Long wait times, disengaged staff, inadequate staffing, menu item elimination are all fixable issues that contribute to customer loss. No amount of menu tinkering or promotions will fix a poor dining experience.

Ordered the “grilled cheese” and was served limp white bread with luke-warm cheese in between. Guys, it’s called GRILLED cheese for a reason. I came here when maybe 5 people were in the establishment. Really sad. Won’t be back because the grilled cheese was actually just sourdough bread slapped together and warmed in the oven. Soggy gross mess. Find your grilled cheese elsewhere. This is something that literally 5 year olds make, yet you can’t quite get this dish right? Go back to culinary school and master the grilled cheese before you work here.

We got a chicken sandwich and a modern avo toast. We were probably one of the first people there and there was no one else around. We waited about 20 min for our food. The chicken sandwich was good but my avo toast was awful. It was burnt black on the top and hurt my jaw to eat. The avocado was dark, dark green like it was old and it tasted like it was from a package. This modmarket is also older and a bit dirty which was pretty disappointing to see.
