Modern Market Eatery - Academy & Woodmen — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

So you can only eat Pizza, Mexican, and Asian food so often so you got to change it up every now and again. I'm glad we threw this in the mix. It's healthy fast casual food. It reminds me a little bit of that burrito place and then that other burrito place that you can do bowls and salads at. But they do more than just bowls and salads. I was initially looking at the pulled park bahn mi and ended up getting the Baja blackened chicken. First of all I'm grateful they use thighs. Thighs have so much more flavor than breast. This had the perfect seasoning and that bark of BBQ on the outside. It was a visual experience to say the least. They say you eat with your eyes and I definitely was drooling all over this. The beans are seasoned well the corn is seasoned well it's not just out of a can and plopped into your plate. The pickled onions have had a wonderful tangy flavor. I sliced up the thighs and mixed it all together. Covered it in the delicious creamy jalapeno lime dressing. If there's jalapeno in it it's hidden, I didn't taste any spice but I'm okay with that the flavor is definitely there. This definitely felt like the biggest salad ever. I seriously ate this for about 30 minutes cuz I couldn't stop picking at it ended up cleaning my whole bowl. I'm a kind of creature of habit so I don't know if I'm going to venture out to anything else on the menu cuz I already love this, but if everything else is good like this I...

I was in the area and wanted to try something different. Healthy menu items! The young gal helped me right away when I walked in. I told her I have an online order to pick up. I actually tipped them online but I gave her a little extra because of her positive attitude and professionalism. The place looks clean and there were some customers left eating there. Overall looks like a clean place.

However, when we got home we checked our order and it was missing avocado on the Shrimp BLT which is a chef's bowl. On my item I got the Curry Salmon Bowl but replaced it with Tofu. Didn't get the Tofu. I also added roasted corn, cucumbers, and red onions which cost extra but didn't receive any of it. I just have to be careful with Salmon since I can only limit eating seafood as I have gout. Ive already had Salmon three days this week. That's why I opted for Tofu.

So I could've ordered it wrong and checked out my email. All it showed is the Curry Salmon Bowl and Salad Shrimp BLT. I wonder if the system doesn't print out the modifications on the receipt?

It was close to closing time. I ordered around 8pm. I got there around 8:15pm so I understand it was late and they were probably closing the kitchen. Especially on a Friday night.

I want to try this place again though whenever im...

I've eaten at Modern Market only once before ordering 3 times in less than 2 weeks through Doordash. Each time I ordered the same thing, the Thai Chicken salad. I paid extra for more Mango Salsa on the last two orders because frankly, it's the best part of this salad. However, I'm surprised I even knew that given that the first time I got the salad, there were three or four tiny chunks of mango salsa, but it was enough to taste. So naturally ordering extra mango salsa on the second order, was a no brainer.

I was stunned when the order arrived because it didn't even have one portion. I called the store to let them know, but you can't reach that location. Instead you get a general customer service line who will report the error. Friday night I ordered the same salad with extra mango once again. And once again got three or four little chunks, not even a single portion, see picture below. That is the last straw.

It's unfair that Doordash has to offer a credit. I don't know if all the Modern Markets are like that and I never will know, because I'll never eat at another one again. The one on North Academy, avoid at all costs unless of course you enjoy paying for something...
