As usual good food at a reasonable price.

Staff were especially pleasant and nice. Food was good comfort food. This place is a secret that most old people know about and don't tell young people about. Older people are just wiser and know where to eat real food.

Brenda Coffey

MCL just is not one of my favorite places to eat overpriced food that I can make it home and have taste to it I know you can't salt but that's what makes food taste yummy anyway I just think you're overpriced. None other Cafeteria down in Mooresville same thing overpriced not one of my other favorite places to eat neither cafeteria food I think I'll head to Amish land

DAN WHEELER

Good as usual.

Rose Hunter

Great food great service and prices are reasonable

Arii Ariana

Very adult place I wouldn't take kids there. But perfect for me and my husband to catch up

Gloria Hayes

I had spoiled chicken and alerted an employee. After eating the rest of what I had ordered, my husband who has cancer and this is main reason we went to MCL was because of variety who doesn't eat well. At end of meal, he decided he wanted watermelon and I went back through line and I told the cashier about the chicken. She said she would ask manager and he might offer me another piece. I told her I had finished eating. I spent about $25.00 for my husband and myself. If they don't care anymore about their customer than this, they don't need my business and I probably won't go back.

Gene Williams

No comment on deck

Jeff Spiggle

Everything was pretty good, but I didn't like the mashed potatoes

Robert Redd

Raymond Roberts

We keep returning to MCL on South East St because the food and service is wonderful. Heather always mothers over my wife and mother in law. They love the extra attention she, Heather, gives them. We will be back.

Steve Lones

Price is high. Portion is really good. If you have one of the daily specials, you can eat for good price. Go on a 99cent pie day!

Donna Mueller

Delicious. Good service. Good place to sit & visit with friends. Very accomodating.

Nicole Boyd

Skimpy portions compared to other cafeterias and way over priced based on quality and portions.

Scott Handlon

Simply the best food ever, have been going here since I was a kid. KFC could learn a few things about fried chicken from MCL. Call in and pick up is a good way to go if offered. Would love to open an MCL in Sonoma CA

Cam Pagel

Don't deserve any type of star unless there's a negative type...it's awful n too expensive

She Mun

Hot good food at reasonable price and many choices, i waljed away with great service and left overs

Ken Lawson

Ordered liver and onions, carrots, and green beans. Liver was dry and rubbery, carrots and green beans were bland with some carrot stalk base in the mix. Did not finish my meal. The staff was great and very accommodating. Overall I was not impressed or inspired.

Donna Paul

Lots of choices, great cafeteria style dining

Russ Woodard

Good food, average service, dated furniture and decor.

Nan Van

Bought today's special entree, which comes with 2 side items of your choice plus a baked roll or muffin of your choice -- got lots of good food for comparatively small amount of money. Plus today was 99 cent pie day! All was tasty.

Bob in IN

This MCL is very nice and the staff is very kind. The food is always delicious!

B Fattig

Always tastes homemade.

Melissa Hixon

This place is surprisingly really good. Decor kind of reminds me of an Old Country Buffet but, the food is really good and the staff is friendly. The cafeteria style is efficient and the food is well displayed and visible. For instance the fountain drinks are dispensed when you order them in a real glass with ice and lemon slices conveniently right next to the drinks.

Chazaty Vest

Jim 238

Old fashion comfort food.

Jimpam Martin

The fish was good. The custard is super!

abe m

I go for the food, which isn't bad. The interior is a bit dated, but maybe on purpose, to make the clientele feel more at home, since most of the patrons tend to be older. Good place for a quick bite, in a homey setting.

Leda Bassett

Expensive, food good employees didn't seem happy.

Billie Mills

Chris McBride

Absolutely wonderful! The food was displayed so well! It was had to choose what to eat 'cause it ALL looked good!! We settled on grilled prime rib with mushrooms for me and fried chicken for him. The Butternut squash was delicious! Got desserts to eat there and take home!!! Pecan pie, homemade Chocolate Cheesecake with an Oreo cookie crust, banana bread and zucchini bread for snack or breakfast the next day. All super yummy!! The guys and ladies working there made sure to check on us and we had everything we needed. What a wonderful relaxing supper in a nice quiet setting!!! Going back the next chance we get!!!

Wendy Horn

Great staff, great food

Omar Elias Duran Lantigua

Extremely good food and service there

Brenda Frey

My food is ALWAYS COLD.

Nicole Strocen

Great portion sizes and selection of food was large. Only thing is when coming in.. too confusing for new comers. Otherwise once it was ready to eat.. was good.

TJ Mullis

Love the food but bugs up on the serving line is NOT COOL. manager is a little rough and rarely helps on the line or the floor. Just sits at table by the door and visits most if the time. I Witnessed this several times personally.

Katrina Moran

Great comfort food, Amazing tea! Would have brought home tea bags but they are very expensive. Swiss steak is fabulous but is only offered one day a week. Mostly a la carte menu which makes it pretty pricey even with a coupon which is why I gave it 4 stars. $23 no dessert, no salad, for 2ppl with a 50% off 2nd adult entree

Brenda Roberts

Great daily specials. The only place to get a real beef Manhattan in town! Good brewed iced tea

Cecilia Speller

Nice staff hot food not hot the salads and fruits best things there.

simon sizemore

Wife and I enjoy eating there.

Betty Sluder

Consistently good food. A little pricy but good quality.

Excellent spaghetti and meat sauce. I also enjoy the roast beef, when well done, the mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and various desserts offered! The servers and table staff are always friendly to us.

Dianna Hockersmith

Good

Max Ramirez

This MCL used to be a terrible place to eat. In recent times they have gotten much better. The food this visit was hot and good. A bit pricey, but hearty home made food hot and ready is hard to come by. Will return.

Christopher Danner

It upset my stomach. Glad there bathroom was semi clean. Cashier seemed grumpy. Quit your job if you're not happy, seriously.

Mathew Frazier

Staff was very friendly and accommodating for our large party. Food is average quality, but a little above average price. Not a fan of cafeteria style restaurants. Portion servings are large, would recommend splitting an entrée and getting dessert, the desserts are the best things on the menu.

Jackie Birge

The food was great

Eloise Moore

Very clean restaurant and staff does a very good job in every way. Love going there to have a good home cooked meal that I can afford. Keep up the good work. See you again soon.

alaker7

Good food.

Cleverson Faria

The location is very good. Plenty of space in the parking. Delicious food. A lot of good choices. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Kim Cussen

You can eat comfort food or you can eat healthfully here. The hot menu changes daily, and they have some smaller-portioned value meals. They always offer baked fish and poultry entrees. We love that there are so many vegetable choices (both cooked and raw) and fresh fruit. But if you like fried food, gravy, cheese sauce, pies, etc., there's plenty of that, too.

Charles Braden

First of all Great Restaurant . And Wonderful Staff .When I'm in the mood for a Salad this is the place. I'm literally happy with just a Fresh Salad here. Kudos to the Prep Cook.

Susan Fillmer

Good food and wonderful variety every day.

David Heard

Not a fan of the food options, everything I have tried has been bland.

scott mussmann

Good food for a good price. Carry out is what I did.

Kristian England

The food is amazing, homestyle meals are always the best. And Joyce is the best!

Elizabeth Graves

Wide variety of options for food. Everything is alacarte. Large area for seating.
