What:
Multicultural cafeteria
Where: On Comic Strip Lane
Price Range: $
This large, loud, and boisterous space houses four separate genres of fast food: Fish, Chips & Chicken; Chinese; Burgers & Dogs; and Pizza & Pasta.
All of them have about three or four entrees, and you can get any style of food at any open window. The selections are not terribly imaginative and are about what you would expect for their types.
They won’t win any awards from the healthy eating crowd either. About the healthiest meal you’ll find here is a chicken Caesar salad. Desserts usually include chocolate cake and Jello. Each counter has a separate line and cashier, but all offer the same menu choices.
The room itself is bright and garish in a self-consciously postmodern way. The high ceiling, with its exposed air-conditioning ducts and pipes, is painted a matte black, but the walls are brightly striped and covered with blown-up panels and cutouts from a variety of Sunday funnies comic strips, providing a bit of light reading for those dining alone. There’s plenty of table and booth seating indoors and a fair amount of al fresco seating as well.
