YESSS LAWWWD!!.... That's all I have to say.
And, I keep saying it every day!!....After every bite!
Well you may ask, how does one get so excited about cafeteria food? Easy. In a nutshell, give me great food, and many great choices to choose from daily! As with all other reviewers, I echo their thoughts.... it does not get any better than this when it comes to great food being served out of all places...an employee cafeteria. I'm talking about from southern-comfort food.....to good home style cookin'.....to international cuisine....this place has it all! Tell me what cafeteria in the area you know of serves not only American but Caribbean, Indian, Brazilian, Vietnamese and many other cuisines from across the globe all in the same week!? And, a pretty good rendition of these dishes at that! I mean I just ate a Banh Mi Sandwich that was amazing. The day prior, I ate Fried Chicken that will make you want to slap your Grand Mamma...frankly because it was just that good and she must have shared her secret recipe with them...and not me! LOL!
This is the one-stop shop and spot to get good eats. For those who know me, you will notice my Yelp check-ins for lunch tend to not be frequent across the surrounding area. That's because.....I often NEVER venture away from this place into the Arlington/Clarendon/DC area for mid-day eats! Why should I?....When I have it all in one place to inhale like a vacuum and satisfy my hunger. You name it...the Main Course/Global Cuisine Stations, Grill and Fast Food Stations, Salad Bar, Tapas Bar, Sandwich Station, Stone Brick-Oven Pizza Station, Soup Bar, Dessert Bar & Frozen-Yo....to top it all off! Simply put...I LOVE THIS PLACE! Another honorable mention for this cafeteria is not only their ability to offer a variety of food daily....but their ability to stay very "health-conscious" about their daily menu and offerings.
Unfortunately, as much of a fitness buff and health conscious person I think I am, my favorites from this place tend not to fall in that category. Hahahaa. My favorites are: The Ribs, Fried Chicken (To die for...I actually wish they sold it in 12pc buckets...lol), Mac n' Cheese, Korean BBQ, Cheesesteaks, Roasted Turkey....and anything from the Salad Bar. That's the extent of the healthy component for me and my daily eats. I mean thanks to this place I actually eat beets and many varied salads now. Something I detested as a kid and used to feed to the house cat instead...sorry I digress.
Back to the review. The cafeteria is open early for breakfast hours and again for lunch. All prices are reasonable and much cheaper than eateries within the surrounding area. Although I did not speak on it...the Breakfast foods are a knockout too!!...with Friday's always being a favorite among folks...."Chicken n' Waffles w/ Strawberry-Whip Cream Toppings" and "Catfish n' Grits Day!" I can go on and on about the great food experienced here. From the servers...to chef/cooks...to cashiers...everyone working in the cafeteria is always very friendly. And, the food is consistently GOOOOD. As in my favorite words'... "Hittin' & Stickin'!"
Don't take my word for it. You just go and try it for yourself. I guarantee... "You'll want to come back!" If you can get in that is. Unfortunately, it is for employees-only and their visitors ....sort of on the....Members-Only tip. Sorry I left that part out earlier. LOL read more
