    a chocolate chip cookie
    John W.

    Don't usually eat at cafeteria places . But this was a very good experience. The food was great the staff was very friendly. It was very clean. I will definitely be going back. I can't believe it wasn't more busy. It was about half full. But I can't believe with the quality of food we didn't have to wait.

    Since my dad was visiting I knew he would like to go to MCL. We have been eating at these since the 70's. This one is newer and extremely nice inside. Its a cafeteria like in school but with a lot better food. They rotate the menu and if you like chicken livers like my dad this is probably one of the last places that has it on the menu periodically. The swiss steak is one of my favorite items. Luckily on Saturday they had it on the menu. They will also have a variety of side items. The rolls are all fresh as well and excellent. I didn't want any dessert but they had quite a few nice pie choices available. As you pick you items and pay you can go sit and enjoy the food. I will add MCL is one of the few places a very large group of people can go and eat easily. It is easy to pay the bills as each person can pay as you go through the cash register. There are plenty of tables and booths as well. The swiss steak was excellent great sauce. I really like good spinanch and this is one of the few places that makes it themselves. It is great if you like spinach. I also got some yams. I don't recall seeing these before but they looked good and tasted good too. We all got what we liked and had a great meal at MCL. But the warning is it can get costly as each item will have its own price so make sure you get what you can eat the portions are a decent size and they also offer a lunch time special with a sandwich, drink, and one side.

    I'm just not a fan of the price. This was one of my dads go to for food. He is no longer with us. Me and mom seen this new MCL in Avon. So mom hadn't been to MCL in a long time. Our food was great. I have been sick for the last couple days but feeling better. I had a tickled in my throat that made me start coughing and coughing. I felt bad for they rest of the customers so I went to hide out in the bathroom till it was over. The lady working the floor (Asian lady) was very worried and asked my mom if I was okay. She checked on me a couple more times before we left. She was very nice and welcoming! The inside is very clean and warm feeling not just a open eating area.

    All you can eat spaghetti!
    Erin B.

    We came here for the all you can eat spaghetti on Friday night. My husband and I both opted to get the meat sauce (you can get just plain ol' marinara if that's your thing). The sauce was actually pretty flavorful, and it had a decent amount of meat. Was it the best spaghetti I've ever had in my life? No. Was it good? Yes. What really made this place stand out was our server. He was on it every time we needed another round of spaghetti, more drinks, or whatever our needs were at the time. We will gladly return here.

    Good food at a very reasonable price. Turkey and stuffing were much better than I thought for a cafeteria. Very friendly and helpful staff

    If you think the food at Golden Carroll has too much flavor than check out MCL. Overpriced buffet food.

    I like that they put ingredients like milk etc. The lettuce on the salad bar was brown where they…read morecut it. Two salad bar bowls were empty. You may get offered a drink refill. The server seemed to know some people and their drinks were refilled without asking. Anyway. It's ok.

    Walked in and the shorter mid 20s mexican lady ringing out meals behind counter kept pushing me to…read morepay but i couldnt due to the customers waiting to be seated in front so she tried fo take my card from me and i told her no i would wait. Then the person behind us tried to pay in cash but she said she doesnt take cash but the next line would and it was super long . And the whole time she let 3 different groups of people cut the line while she was speaking spanish on her cellphone . We never got asked what exactly we wanted to drink when i told her 3 fountain drinks so she rang it up and tried to give us 3 cokes which we didnt order so we told the female waiter and she fixed our order for us . When we got an open table the floor was covered on trash from previous people. The bigger early 40s black male waiter never acknowledged us he only helped the other black people and ignored the white people so We had ro ask another server who was hopping from section to section for silverware and straws . And she got them for us no problem while the male did nothing but complain at each table about how hard and fast he was having to work and we watched him get multiple tips that she desereved more. (Blanca or bianca was her name and she didnt complain 1 time while picking up his slack) Food and dishes were not all available . Never got bowls cleaned so i couldnt eat the chicken noodle soup . Ate some buttered corn and it was super bland . Some of the meats (porkchops) were overcooked or sitting too long so they were not chewable. .Plates were a rare find as we had to serach the stands fo find 2 or 3 plates at 1 time. So overall way worse than the ohio ones we regularly go to . Dont recomend paying 65 dollars for 3 drinks , 2 adult meals and a senior meal as its not worth it

    Came here for dinner, place was pretty much empty half the selections were empty, the other half…read morelooked like they had been sitting out all day. Found a piece of paper in one of the selections I had put on my plate. Floors were very greasy and all the furniture was sticky, the "sushi" prep area looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a month. Raw proteins in the hibachi grill area were not safe for consumption.

    Disappointing Experience at Peking China Buffet 9/16/2025 at 11am…read moreRating: (1/5) Visited Peking China Buffet in Plainfield, IN for lunch with two friends--and unfortunately, it was a letdown from the moment we walked in. The dining room was dim due to multiple burnt-out bulbs, and the stained ceiling didn't help the first impression. Our server showed us to the table with no greeting or smile, just a quick drink order. The buffet itself was sparse and looked tired--most trays had only a few items, and very little appeared fresh. I tried to stick to the newly replenished dishes, but even that felt like a gamble. The moment that sealed it: my buddy accidentally dropped an egg roll on the floor, placed it at the end of the buffet bar, and grabbed the last one. Minutes later, I returned to find that same dropped egg roll had been put back into the serving bin. That raised serious concerns about food safety and cleanliness. After taking a closer look around, the place felt dirty and poorly maintained. Later that afternoon, all three of us felt ill. Between the high prices, stale food, and questionable hygiene, this is not a place we'll be returning to.
