Review: You have to try the smoked tomato soup (No Liquid Smoke used, they actually smoke their home-grown tomatoes themselves!) and the Tofu Cheescake. I've gone tons of times and everything is always fantastic. Love the hippie vibe - there is blotting paper art on the walls! The owner, Mary, is beyond kind and has been a vegetarian for over 20 years now.
They also have the sweetest tasting wheatgrass shots I've had, not unpleasant at all to take, and a HUGE selection of smoothies, juices (That they juice right before serving) and fairtrade coffees and teas.
Pros: Awesome selection of veg food * Low prices * plenty of vegan options
Cons: Not totally veg * * |

Review: I've worked and eaten in some amazing vegetarian restuarants. My experience at McFosters is that the staff displayed poor, indifferent customer service and the food was bordering on terrible. I ordered a juice and a salad described as being a meal in itself. The juice was ok - can't go wrong there. The salad was limp and wilted, with no character and nothing substantial. It was supposed to have come with a roll, which I had to ask for. Then I had to ask for hemp butter to go with it, which the server unnecessarily and somewhat condescendingly explained to me was a little like a butter substitute not unlike margarine (thanks for the heads up). My server was rolling silverware at a work station behind me and singing out loud to herself while my companion and I were eating. This competed with the two types of music being blasted - one from the kitchen and one from the speakers. Repeated requests to turn either of them down were apologetically ignored. I wish I could say something nice about my experience, because I would like for there to be a good vegad restaurant in Omaha, but for now I will just stick with ordering vegan items from the many other restaurants in the area. I recommend, as an alternative, any of the wonderful authentic Mexican restaurans in south Omaha - try asking for vegetable fajitas - they will come with fresh homemade corn tortillas - can't get any better than that.
Pros: nice building * good intent *
Cons: unclean * poor service * mediocre food |

Review: Absolutely amazing! I had tempeh reuben sandwhich and it was delicious. My husband went with a free range chicken sandwich which he absolutely loved. The service was great, the food was outstanding. Five plus stars for me! There is a huge selection of both vegetarian and vegan items on the menu. I would love to come back and taste them all!
Pros: Great taste * Huge selection * Great service
Cons: none * * |

Review: i first want to note that mcfoster's claims on their menu to be a "vegetarian restaurant that serves chicken," something which should raise a few eyebrows. i find it rather more than lame that anyone who would care to open a primarily vegetarian restaurant and to refer to it as such would serve flesh dishes (they also serve seafood). these non-vegetarian options comprise a goodly portion of their menu, at that.
anyways, my lunch there (a dish with seitan and artichoke in some sort of creamy french-style sauce) was okay, and the artichokes were a little on the weak side. it was interesting and a fairly unusual vegan option. the brussel sprouts were surprisingly excellent, however. the servers were very friendly and prompt with the water. the prices were a little steep, considering the quality of the food itself. the decor was beyond tacky -- i was seated next to a framed set of jerry garcia stamps.
Pros: some unusual options * friendly service *
Cons: unexceptional food * hippie-ish atmosphere * a little pricey |

Review: Amazing vegan/vegetarian/raw/omnivore peaceful, hippi-like restaraunt.
I LOVE mcfosters, while all of their choices may not be my favorite, they have never let me down =]
Mcfosters is the perfect spot in omaha to relax or dine, their waiters are all well informed, and I even had one sing happy birthday to me hahaa(ok well.. you'd have been there but he made it HILARIOUS)
You can sit inside in a variety of booths and tables, as well as outside on the patio.
On many occasions there is live music which makes for suuuch a great environment.
If you want a cheap vegan snack you should totally try their sweet potato fries with organic banana ketchup!
Also, on sundays they have their breakfast menu which has some amazing pancakes/tofu scrambles and alot more!
Pros: Excellent staff =] * FUCKING DEE LISH USSS *
Cons: It's no fast food.. take a breather! * They serve corpses =[ * NOT COMPLETELY VEGAN |

Review: We were visiting Omaha and found McFosters on happy cow and decided to go there! It was the largest vegan and vegetarian menu I have ever seen. I was in heaven. They even let me create my own meal. The prices were low, the service was great and the atmosphere was amazing. You can sit inside or outside. We had veggie tempura for an apetizer and it was scrumptious! If you are in Omaha, eat here!
Pros: delicious food * large menu * great prices
Cons: * * |

Review: i live in iowa so it is a two hour dirve for me to get to there, but it is totally worth the trip. my sister is vegan and i am a vegetarian so it is hard to find something that she and i can both eat and like in the same place. it is sad to say but we have actually driven to omaha just to go here.
the food is always excellent and the service is great. i alway enjoy myself when i go.
