Upsides: Surprisingly good food for breakfast, lunch and dinner - with very clearly posted nutritional information for the daily entrees (low cal - but high in taste and portions).
Downsides:
- You are surrounded by a lot of impulse junk food and other higher priced items.
- a stone age checkout system (and comical credit card procedure)
- incredibly noisy cafeteria atmosphere (but what do you expect!)
- I find most of the items rather pricy for a cafeteria.
Upsides:
- Lots of healthy food available
- If it's a nice day out, the outdoor seating is very pleasant.
- there are times when the eating area is very sparse and quiet ... when this happens, it is a great place to do a little work or enjoy a quick lunch.
- but most times it is noisy, and crowded with families and patients (in patient gowns, and dragging IVs on wheels!)
And, if instead you get sucked into buying a lot of the less-healthier food and start having a heart attack, well, it's Mayo Clinic and you have the best heart specialists in the world probably 10 feet away.
