My first time here was an eye opening and very touching experience. While looking for a table I noticed a young patient having lunch that was surrounded by over a dozen people in casual attire, mostly jeans & t-shirts, and I was fairly certain they weren't all her family because of the big variety of ages & origins. I asked my wife (she's an employee) what was going on at their table and she told me those were doctors, lab techs, maintenance & food sevice workers, researchers and IT folks sitting with that smiling little girl. No white coats or fancy suits, just casual, comfy and caring people from all around the campus (most use campus rather than hospital) that were there to just have lunch and share their time. I was deeply moved, in that very poignant moment, and instantly understood that this was much more than a cafeteria. It's a unique and very special place that fosters a real sense of family and a daily reminder to the staff & faculty of the importance of their work & dedication. Cafeterias are hard to find these days and finding one that serves tasty food that's also nutritious is rare indeed. I have a lot of memories in cafeterias throughout my life, from Navy chow halls & ships to years working in hospitals I'm comfy in a cafeteria setting but it's people & the food that make it work. The folks here have nailed it, the place is super clean, it's bright and colorful with child-friendly design snd really nice selection of very tasty and nutritious foods. There's a salad and dessert bar, omelet & sandwich station, hot foods line, sushi and bread station and there's a big selection of prepared foods and lots of pre-packaged snacks & drinks of all kinds and more. I'm a big sushi fan and I'm thrilled that sushi is prepared fresh daily and they take requests and will prepare your roll exactly the way you like it, with a smile. Smiles abound here as they do throughout the campus. The chef, nutritionist and staff of Kay Kafe and St Jude at-large do seem to have a special goodness and wonderfully positive attitude & quite frankly I experience that feeling every time I'm here. Bottom line: Inside this world renowned facility that Danny Thomas founded in 1962 there's chef's, nutritionists and food sevice professionals that prepare, cook & serve some really good food in a pleasant atmosphere at reasonable prices. It all happens surrounded by people who are focused on these very special kids and I look forward to every opportunity to break bread here.

I have decided to join my dad & meet my mom up there for breakfast. As this would be the last chance that I could ever experience Kay Cafe and that it would be nice to have Breakfast with my family. It's always nice to see the Families (patient or staff) & Staff enjoy a meal together. In a peaceful Cleanly environment. The staff of Kay Cafe takes pride in serving their customers whether it would be employees working the registers or the chefs and dietitians working the kitchen. The selection here is above-standard of other hospitals in selection and taste. The prices were very reasonable compared to some of the hospitals I have eaten at when visiting friends and loved ones. I would recommend famiy members that they enjoy a meal from Kay Cafe. It is about as enjoyable as eating at Piccadilly or Luby's.

She was extremely cordial and attentive....just like your Grandma would be if you sat down at her dinner table! The food was delicious and maybe the best ribs I've ever had! The meat was perfectly smoked, with a great Smokey flavor and a rich bark on the outside. I'm talking about sucking on the bones to get that last bit of BBQ taste. My biggest disappointment was we finished everything...no leftovers! If you're ever in Memphis, this is a place to check out and bring your appetite! You can thank me later!

The fried chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right every time. Their sweet tea is so good--definitely a must-have with your meal. My only critiques would be that I wish the yams had a deeper glaze and the mac & cheese was a bit more thoroughly baked, but the flavors are still solid overall. I always get my food to go, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are satisfying. If you're ordering a fried entrée, make sure to order ahead and allow about 15 minutes for them to finish frying--it's worth the wait.

They serve a rotating menu based on the day of the week. I have been on other days, but I like the side choices best on Mondays. My go to is usually Smothered Pork Chops. My sides vary a bit, but I regularly get Northern Beans, Mac & Cheese, and Cream Corn. There seems to be a sweetness to everything I've eaten. Sometimes it can be a bit much and will sometimes spur my hiatus. Everyone is so friendly here. I've never encountered a single employee that wasn't cheerful and efficient. In all honestly, it's better than most places I go, anywhere in Memphis. It's cafeteria style, so you walk down the line and choose what you want. You can tell how fresh it is before you choose and I dig that. Dining room is good. Watch your step, platforms in and out of the booths. Someone will come get your plate and trash. They are always there to make sure you enjoy your food. I'll be back for sure.
