Its a hospital cafeteria and it actually has pretty good food for what it is. I go here sometimes just because it is cheap. You can get a lunch here for under 10 dollars.

This place has a nice selection of foods to choose from, with changing daily specials, as well as grilled food, sandwiches, fruits, pizza and pasta, and even doughnuts. Overall, I've been happy with my meals here, and they serve generous portions in my opinion. However, the hash browns in my (Sunday) morning breakfast (see photo) could have doubled as building material. I needed to use my knife just to cut off chunks of it, and the taste was pretty much baked mashed potato without seasonings. Granted, I got there at 09:59 (breakfast ends at 10am), so these were probably the last dregs, but definitely avoid the hash browns if they look "solid" in the tray. Next time, I'll go with Tator Tots...
