    Spicy chicken has taken a major step backward. Hold out until you're back in Birmingham for food now.

    Cedar House , where have you beeenn?! But seriously, I use to come here many, many years ago. Pre…read moreYelp! I am so very glad that this restaurant came across something I was looking at recently. I popped on in on a Wednesday to see what I could see. I was pleased. Liver and onions will always put a smile on my face! I love a good meat and two cafeteria vibe. I had fried green tomatoes & turnips. Both sides were outstanding. Now what I did not like what that rice! Way too much butter but I do believe it was still on stand by from breakfast. I really appreciate the nice lady getting it for me so that's really why I didn't refuse it. The service was really nice and friendly by all the staff. I loved my food. I loved the sweet tea ( with lemons). And I looooved the cherry / pineapple cobbler I had to go. It's tastes like nothing I've ever had before. Pricing is reasonable for your typically restaurant of this nature. Cedar house is a family owned business that's been around for years. They are definitely in my lunch rotation now.

    Coworker brought back lunch. I gave her free will on my sides but I requested chicken and dressing…read moreif they had it. Fortunately they did and I got a good size portion of chick and dressing, cranberry sauce, creamed corn and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. I wish I could have gotten less starches but I'm grateful for the pick up nonetheless. What I'm curious about.., Why the use of tumeric in the chicken and dressing? I was born and raised in the Ham so I'm used to the way we normally do it. The look threw me off. It was as if yellow food coloring was used. The chicken was overdone as well. If not for these two, I would have given this a 5 star. But I can't get over the yellow.

    I ate at the Children's of Alabama cafeteria, and honestly, it's pretty solid for what it is…read more Hospital food usually gets a bad reputation, but they actually try here. The options rotate a good bit, and there's always something that works whether you want a hot meal, a salad, or just something quick. The grill station is consistent, the veggies are usually cooked well, and the grab and go section is clutch if you're in a rush. The best part is that the food tastes fresher than you'd expect, and the prices are better than most places around the hospital district. The staff is friendly, and even during busy hours it moves fast enough that you're not standing around forever. My only complaint is that some days feel a little repetitive and the seating area can get crowded, especially around lunchtime. But overall, for a hospital cafeteria, it's clean, reliable, and way better than you'd think. I'd definitely eat here again if I'm at Children's for meetings.

    The Blue River Cafe at Children's Hospital serves a variety of food. From a daily salad bar, pizza,…read moreand grill to a homecooked food station whose menu changes daily, you will be sure to find something good to eat here. Today, I had chicken fingers and waffle fries. The chicken fingers were amazing! Almost as good as Chick-fil-A. The fries were extremely cold however, so i probably would not get them again unless they were fresh.
