    Their food is always hot and delicious.  I love the roast beef and the ham and beans.  The chicken is good and the mashed potatoes and gravy are so yummy.  They have a large selection of vegetables, all are good.  The desserts are good also.  My favorite is lemon meringue pie or the chocolate torte.  The salads and Cole slaw are wonderful.  Fresh fruit and puddings and hello good too.  Can not go wrong here.

    Where to begin? Grew up on MCL Cafeteria the one out at the old Southtown mall. Years ago from 1977 to 1994 then MCL went out of business in 1994 and about 9 years later so did Southtown mall.

    What I remember is some damn good home cooking food in a cafeteria style setting with a fine dining sitting atmosphere. Awesome beef Manhattan with double meat and extra mash I ordered. Chicken is very good finger licking good in fact. The sticky bun is something else and the deserts mmm, pecan pie, custard, Strawberry shortcake, the list goes on and on and on. Taste really fresh and homemade, high quality ingredients.

    Muncie MCL brought back those memories, food is just about like it's always been for the most part, enough where me wants to go. Unfortunately I don't live close to this location to come very often. Sad I know, but it's true.

    5 stars for best cafeteria specimen for miles and miles. I was welcomed by every single staff member who without fail greeted me in a genuine manner. You're directed me to the food line where you choose items a la carte. Not cheap but not really expensive either especially given the homemade freshness and flavor. All-American food but not the dry aged junk you may think of when you harken back to the school cafeteria days. Delicious breaded pork tenderloin, $1.99 each soft large chunky chocolate chip cookies, nice seating choices available and free drink refills. I was the youngest person there by about 40 years.

    As usual the ham & beans were just slightly warm. This place needs a bank of microwaves in there dinning area. They take no pride in what they serve or how they slop it on your plate.

    MCL has always been one of my favorites. The staff at this location is always very friendly and they will constantly check on you during your meal. The food for being a cafeteria is fantastic. They have the best roast beef, mashed potatoes, rolls, and green beans I know of. Not to mention really good pudding that I get every time. I've probably been to this location well over 100 times and its usually always amazing food and service.
