| - I am a cafeteria geek. I have great memories of eating at Luby's and Furr's when I was growing up. I was so excited to see K&W open up in this location so I could intro my kiddos to the glories of a cafeteria!
All in all, I was pleased with our visit. Line was long but moved quickly. The food items were clearly labeled which helped immensely to a K&W newbie. More importantly, the staff behind the line spoke clearly and loudly enough to be understood - a must in the cafeteria system.
Everything we selected was tasty and was homemade (with exception of fries). This is no Ryan's or Golden Corral with cheese out of a can slopped on gooey noodles. The mac and cheese was homemade, baked mac. Yummy. My spinach salad was fresh and very tasty. Of course, this is food that must withstand being in a hot line so the veggies reflect that, but you kind of expect that going in. We chose a soft roll and a biscuit and both were great.
By far the best part of the meal was the lemon cake the boys split. Dessert is a must in a cafeteria trip! It was divine. Yes, I said divine. No day glow yellow cake mix, this thing was the most aweome, tender white cake with what was maybe a lemon glaze between the layers of icing. Very subtle but so tasty The icing was awesome too. Seriously. This cake was better than many fancy wedding cakes I've eaten. My 7 yr old wants me to get him one for his birthday!
The incredible thing is that our final bill for all three of us was just over $11. Incredible! The kids meals are a mere $3.19 and incude an entree, side, bread, treat ( large jello or pudding) and a drink of their choice! That is the best value you will find anywhere!! I almost felt guilty about it. I was sad there weren't more young families there. Lots of seniors (as expected) and empty nesters, but not many young kiddos.
