I was in a hurry and just ordered a couple of veggies — broccoli rice cheddar casserole and red potato salad. The potato salad was fairly good but the broccoli rice casserole was really, really bad. Over-cooked tasteless mush. It was a busy place and...the lines did move quickly.More

Fabulous, nutritious, quick food for the cancer patient on the run between appointments. Quite picturesque. The low cost was another highlight.

Everything was prepackaged when we were there, after breakfast, before lunch. Premade sandwiches weren't great but we didn't expect much. We had been up since 5 am w/o breakfast so we just needed something but it was 11 am so no breakfast and lunch wasnt...served yet.More

Located in a modern building with high ceilings and plenty of natural light, the Waterfall cafe offers indoor and outdoor tables. Multiple food stations offer variety: a grill station will prepare burgers, and the usual sides. There is a pizza station, and a station for...prepared foods: roast chicken, steamed vegetables, soups, with various meats being offered on different days of the week. There is a Mexican food station, with breakfast tacos in the mornings. The central salad island offers whatever you need to make a fresh salad to your liking. There are separate areas for juices, milk and cold beverages, as well as coffee and desserts.More

Had a hearty breakfast made to order today- Texas toast egg sandwich with American cheese and a side of hash browns. Nice chef and very easy on the budget. Coffee was ok big tank stuff. Pleasant dining room to hang out in or opt for...the outside seating. Not on this hot humid Houston day! Recommend for folks hanging out at MD Anderson for the day.More

Especially enjoyed the fresh salad bar with a wide variety of healthy options. I am on a food sensitivity plan, and they had plenty of excellent choices. Convenient to be in the Mays Bldg for MDA appointments.

I don't know where the other reviewers ate. Had breakfast here. Stayed at the nearby Marriott. Had to be at the hospital early. Breakfast at this place cost more than the Marriott but made up for that by being the worst institutional meal I've had....Just appalling.More

There is something for everyone and the service is fast. Food is typical out of the package and served. The pizza is made there and there is a good vegetable bowl dish.

This cafe offers the usual hospital type food. If you have a special diet you are out of luck. I have to eat soft non-acidic foods and found little I could eat.
