  1. Quit going there years ago!!! Their food is bland, had absolutely ZERO flavor, and is just nasty!!! Same way Heritage House was right before they went under!!!

    1. Thanks for the wonderful review, Matt!
      I’ve attended a couple of events that MCL has catered, and the food was on point. I believe the food is far better than the unflattering review but that was kind to enlighten us with that observation.

  2. I like MCL’s food but I think the cafeteria style is probably something that just isn’t going to work in the long run. I hope they can transition to being a regular sit down restaurant or something like that, where you can see the food being made fresh but don’t have to line up to get it.
