Pretty smart for the owners. So I'll eaten here quite a few times and their selections have the basics and a few different specials that usually is offered on a rotation of availability. Small dining area with a couple of tables. Primarily a take out establishment. The kitchen area is actually a larger floor space than the dining area so that means they prep and cook all day. Pretty busy the last few times I've stop by to pick up lunch on the road. That is a very good spot for a quick lunch and the selections are generally very satisfying. Definitely 1 of the better Dominican cafeterias around the neighborhood with a really good butcher shop next door and very convenient parking makes this an easy choice to make a break to Elwood Avenue so close to the the 95 exit. I recommend giving this restaurant a try if you're into the Dominican style food.

While this rating is solely for today's breakfast, I will say when I was visiting family back in 2019, the salad was decent, the BBQ Pulled Pork Burger with onion rings was pretty great, and I was very very happy with the create your own Burger from the Open Kitchen (Potato bun, burger, cheddar, tomato, arugula, pickled red onions, caramelized onions, and some kind of special sauce). I was actually a bit sad back then the day we left knowing they had some kind of lamb meatballs I never got to try. So when I had to go today to bring my wife for a procedure, she told me I could just go back home and wait. Oh no, I was looking forward to this. This cafeteria had been calling my name for years now. I will say the online menu needs to be updated as they mentioned biscuits and gravy, and I was looking forward to that, but there were none to be found (That being said, it may have been at a different station I didn't see, so that could be on me). What I did see, though, was a short line for a hot breakfast and some very cheesy chourico scrambled eggs (online lists chorizo, but label said chourico). I was actually hoping for a bit more spice, but it had a nice flavor, the eggs were not dried out in the slightest, and thankfully the cheese was mostly on top so it wasn't over powering. Could have been a larger scramble, but we're splitting hairs here. Along side that I got a decent portion of the corned beef hash, nice and moist, but not too greasy, and two scoops of freshly dropped home fries (the menu labels them as hash browns, but these are not). After tax it came to $7.35, which for the portion size isn't too bad. Honestly, if the parking fees started at 1 hour instead of only up to 30 minutes being free, I wouldn't mind just dropping by for a bite to eat. I really can't say I've had a bad meal here. It's not some jaw dropping level of Michelin star cuisine, but for the speed and the price, it's hard to beat. Hospital food or not.

Long Live The Ratty…read more Oh how I remember the days Of Freshman daily life, Eyes darting back and forth, Looking for a spot to sit, Avoiding eye contact with those So-called "athletes." The kind, warm-hearted workers, Enormous, cheesy omelettes, Greasy, hot-out-of-the-oven pizza, Crispy, Cajun-flavored fries... These are the things I will remember The Ratty by. But wait. Maybe it's The never-ending coffee milk, Or colorful array of veggies. The make-your-own panini station, Or sweet potato mash. The futuristic soda machine, Or delicious, hearty soup. Shh -- I hear something! Far in the distance, A quiet whir. Is that... A soft serve machine? Chocolate, vanilla, or swirl? Oreo crumbs or M&Ms? Bowl or cupped hand? The options are endless... Here at The Ratty. Take some food to-go. A bagel or toast. A bitter coffee. Maybe a plastic cup, Filled to the brim With your favorite cereal. The choice is yours, Here at The Ratty. Alas... Don't forget to clear your plates. Compost that food, And stack your dishes nicely, Lest you be looked down upon With scorn and disgust Here at The Ratty.

I also ordered the 10pc honey garlic wings and to drink, a strawberry and a blueberry lemonade. Mac N Cheese - Very dry, not bad tasting but definitely not creamy like I'm used to and I'm from the south. Collard Greens - Great taste, but nothing stood out about them. Not Amazing, but not bad. Cabbage - Cooked to perfection. No complaints. Yams - Again, nothing special, not bad, but not great. Cornbread - Good! Nice and moist. Honey Garlic chicken - Nothing really bad to say. I did enjoy the amount of sauce and that the wings were fried hard like I typically order them. Flavored Lemonades were amazing! If I do go back, it will be for those. I ordered from Door Dash, so I did not go in the establishment or get to interact with the employees.

Second this was not your regular empanadilla, most DEF has a Puerto Rican flavor to it. I can almost compare it to the homemade ones my mother used to make so far 10 out of 10. You have to try out this gustito! Quality over quantity, although I believe you get a good amount of food.

David even brought us some of their popcorn, which was so delicious and such a fun extra touch. We loved the food, we loved the service, and we will definitely be back; highly recommend.

The pizza was ok, could have been cooked like a moment more. The Shroomy grilled cheese for me was the best thing on the menu. Hubby said the steak was just meh, but he is fancy, we take his reviews with a grain of salt, LOL... The decor and vibe of the place was great! Its big, misleading from the street, but there are rooms, and hallways, and more rooms! Super cute, but it does get busy, Make a reservation.
