It was a beautiful fall day so we made the drive to Mooresville to have lunch at Gray Brothers…read moreCafeteria. We went in and the first thing I saw was a large fireplace - lovely! The restaurant was neat, very clean and beautifully decorated. There were several more fireplaces throughout the restaurant, which I loved. We got in the service line and the workers there were very kind and patient with us as we scanned the large selection of food. I finally settled on the fried chicken, au gratin potatoes and green beans. My husband also had fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and a piece of cherry pie. When we were looking around for a table, a polite young man approached me and asked me if he could help me with my tray, which I GREATLY appreciated. He took it and carefully placed it on the table we selected. I thought this was a very nice touch. The chicken looked good, and it was well- seasoned but not as crispy as I like it. The bones inside were black - so it was Tyson chicken or some such, I'm sure. It was done, but again, not as well-done as I like. The au gratin potatoes were very, VERY cheesy - good, but a bit too rich for my taste. The green beans were well-seasoned and I enjoyed them. My husband thought the fried chicken was too salty, but I didn't find that to be the case. He liked the mashed potatoes and gravy. I took a bite of his cherry pie - he sprinkled sugar on it because he thought it was too tart, but I thought it was good and regretted not getting a piece of it myself. Perhaps a little ice cream on top of it would have been a nice addition. All in all, it was a good meal at a nice, homey restaurant with wonderful service. I would love to come back on a cold day when they might have the fireplaces lit.

They do a great job at curating the items, everything ranging from Indy themed knick knacks to locally made art and jewelry, all quirky and unique. + The variety of food they have is amazing. Everything from Greek, Asian-fusion, Mexican, and ice cream to a bakery, poke, pizza, burgers, and more. There's something for everyone. Overall, Indy is lucky to have a place like this. If I lived nearby, I would be here all the time!

The biggest dilemma is which one to chose. Can't wait to comeback some time to try something else; unfortunately it a tad big commute but one day " I'll be back! "

MCL is known by some as the Medicare Line, the Medicare Lounge, and a name not appropriate for Yelp. All jokes aside, the food is good, the choices are plentiful, and there is a big meeting room for groups. The green beans were a bit lukewarm tonight (it is close to closing time.) They were warm enough to eat without taking them back to be microwaved/ refunded or replaced. My server, Mark, has been here for 18 years and I've known him that long. And, Eddie, the server in the other room has been here forever too. I love the iced tea brand they use. (Yes, I am a year-round iced tea drinker.) For those who find the decor (and other diners) a bit dated, get your comfort food delivered or to-go. I'm in their target market; so dining in is no problem for me. The payment system doesn't allow you to add a tip. So remember to bring cash to tip. It is an inconvenience; at least you're forewarned. So, when you want good food that's like home-cooked without dishes or the effort--consider MCL.

Sometimes, you do things for the story. Or in my case, for the Yelp review. I had a lot of MCL gift…read morecards that were burning a roast-beef-Manhattan-sized hole in my pocketbook, and I needed to do something with them. So one weekday, I brought my family to this cafeteria-style restaurant that sounds like a medical condition. ("I tore my MCL and the doctor thinks I might be out of commission for another six weeks.") I mean, MCL is fine. You get to pick what you want to eat from a smorgasbord of random foods. I thought my children might like this novelty, and I was right. They liked picking out what they wanted to eat, as opposed to what they were used to, which is me serving them a specific meal. Can it be that we can choose blue Jello for dinner?! And strawberry shortcake! And spaghetti! And chicken nuggets with fries! Yes, my children -- go wild. In the end, both of my kids chose chicken nuggets with fries. Because ... kids. They thought the nuggs were a bit hard, even with lots of ketchup. We also got the breaded catfish and the fried chicken, which I would also describe as "hard." I guess you should expect a certain amount of hardness from something that's breaded, but these things tasted like they had been under the heat lamp for a spell. I'm also not sure how MCL manages to produce food that's incredibly salty but also lacking in flavor. They are an enigma! I do recommend the steamed broccoli. MCL knows how to steam a broccoli just right. When I visited on a Monday, MCL was bustling with customers. But despite all of the people there, the restaurant was quiet. They don't play any music here, or at least they didn't when I visited, so it's a good place to visit if you want some cafeteria-style food and also need to talk in low tones. I kind of like that they didn't play any music in the dining room, and so did my oldest child, who usually listens to music all the time. Sometimes, you just don't need music! Especially when you're tucking into a plate of liver and onions. I learned that you can get DoorDash from MCL, if you gotta get your carved roast beef but don't want to leave the house.

You can't beat the real deal mashed potatoes and the gravy smothered on top of a roast beef sandwich. Yes, I'm talking about the delicious Beef Manhattan. The warm you up, fill you up, soul soothing Manhattan. Thin slices of medium rare roast beef between white or wheat bread. Have it dipped in au jus if you're not a fan of the medium rare. It's roped with real mashed potatoes and from scratch gravy. The fried chicken is pretty legit too. Several different fresh salad selections as well. If you're in the mood for desserts they have everything from pie to German chocolate cake. You can find something for everyone in your party. From your salad people to your meat and potatoes people, MCL is a solid choice.

All that is visible from the atrium is a grab and go and I honestly thought that was all they put in as the new cafeteria. Anyway, once you find it, it's actually quite good. They have a bunch of stations including a Sushi Boss location with a limited menu, but same quality as from a regular Sushi Boss location. The roll I had was excellent. They have rotating stations as well; I had a fabulous bowl with all kinds of grains, vegetables and grilled salmon at a previous visit for a very reasonable price. Here's the tricky part...after you find the cafeteria, the next step in the challenge is to figure out how to order. Most of the stations use tablets that are stationed around the area. This is basically kiosk ordering with an extra step of selecting the station first (e.g sushi, pizza, grill, etc). pro tip...after you order you can proceed directly to challenge 3 which is paying. Go to the payment stations and scan the QR code on your receipt along with any other items you'd like such as beverages or snacks. You then pay and can go back to wait for your food without then having to wait to pay while your food gets cold...hope this makes sense! I have NO IDEA how it tracks that people have paid before they leave as no receipt is issued...there are staff around that are probably watching, but there must be some other mystery mechanism....Just to add a wrinkle...there are some stations that don't use the kiosk...haven't tried those yet so not sure if you just order with the human making the food and then they give you a receipt to scan and pay or if a human has to help with payment too...there is one staffed checkout lane, so that might be the deal... Anyway, this is a very hidden, but decent new option for food on the med center campus!

For your meal, you can select mains and sides ala carte, or they have some good meal deals, like a nightly blue plate special, or a kids' meal which is only $5.99 at the time of this review (about the same as a Happy Meal!). It looked like they had several additional menu items on the line that weren't listed on the website, too, like salmon and beef and noodles. I tend to have a smaller appetite so I tried a salad which was fresh and too big for me to finish. My only negative is that they were playing a nice selection of eighties music, which made me realize, oh no, I am old, and officially part of the cafeteria crowd. Regardless, we'll be back!
