This place has pretty good food for cafeteria style setting. I tried chicken with noodles and had a side of green beans and mashed potatoes. The potatoes tasted a little plain but everything else I would say was good. Looking forward to trying it more going forward.

The food here is absolutely incredible the staff is always so kind and they seem to be working very hard. we wish this place was a chain restaurant. hopefully we'll come back soon to visit it, I miss the mashed potatoes and meatloaf!

The food lacks flavor and is not worth the price I paid. Additionally, the service was really poor; they didn’t provide napkins, and the server was rude when asked questions. The cashier also seemed overwhelmed, as she had to handle customers from both Simon’s Cafe and Salata, leading to delays in service. Despite the menu board clearly stating that the combo includes a drink and bread, these were not provided until requested. It was a disappointing experience, and I won't be returning for sure.
