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.

The first thing you will notice as you walk in is a rather nasty pungent odor.

There is nothing "bright", "colorful" or "new" about this place folks.Whoever wrote that is clueless.

Check out the cooler by the front door....had to be 40 years old and looked filthy.

Look up at the vents in the ceilings and walls...they are BLACKENED with YEARS of buildup.....grease and other air borne pollutants.

As I watched the kitchen staff come and go they were obviously violating a host of health code regulations.

As I read the reviews others have written I had to chuckle to myself.

They can not possibly be genuine.At one time I loved this place.....and it does not surprise me the original founders went under and sold to avoid what one poster calls "tax issues".

The quality of the ingredients used to prepare foods should be suspect.Are they fresh?....Handled properly? I suspect not.

There couldn't possibly be a staff member who cares or has the power and drive to "fix"anything.

Another poster described it as having a "hippie"atmosphere.

That seemed to be a genuine observation.

I am not sure what value that adds to reviewing this cafe but the "energy"there is definitely "dark"....the staff is likely underpaid and overworked....typical.

It quite likely this place will close soon.I give it less than 2 years before new owner gives up.
