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.

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.

This location is a large building with lots of seating options. I had to try Central as it keeps winning awards and is consistently mentioned as the top BBQ place in the Memphis area. Some of their awards were displayed at the entrance and on the walls. Lots of history. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and had the slaw on the side so I could have it (she's not a slaw fan). I had the small order of ribs with 1/2 dry and 1/2 wet with sides of BBQ Beans and Mac n Cheese. I tried the pulled pork and it was tender and delicious. My ribs were pretty good with my favorite part being the wet ribs. The dry part was overcooked and really dry and chewy. This was a bit of a disappointment. The BBQ beans were flavorful but a bit mushy. The Mac n cheese also mushy a bit but tasted better than it looked. I love great BBQ so I like Central BBQ but may have caught them on a bad day. Oh, they were out of a lot of T Shirt options/size I wanted too. Darn. I wanted to buy one. I would return and try the brisket, pulled pork or poultry items next time.

I ordered wings and two dry slabs of ribs. When my family and I finally decided to eat the ribs on Monday, they were disgusting. They had seasoning caked all on them, and they were overly salty. We wiped off the caked-on seasoning and tried to eat around the saltiness. I was praying the 2nd slab was not the same. When I opened them on 5/27 to see, they were the same. I was trying to avoid calling because I just didn't feel like being bothered. But I called. I left a message for the manager to return my call that morning because "he is in the middle of an interview." So I called back that afternoon and was transferred to Ethan. I explained the situation to him. As I was speaking, he kept making the noise un-huh. So, I stopped talking and asked him what it meant aside from it just being rude as hell. He went on to explain that they missed a step and did not rub in the seasoning and shake it off. I don't care. It's an internal quality issue that should be handled with the prep and cook staff. Not me. He asked if I had my receipt and, in a tone that suggested he was doing me a favor, advised me that he would replace the slab. No apologies for the inconvenience or anything.   After my long workday, I went all the way downtown to get the slab replaced. In person, Ethan is just as rude. I asked if he was going to replace both slabs. He could clearly see the quality was trash. He said no and that he would only replace one. Then went on to offer me sides and a slice of cake. No, thank you. I can afford sides and cake just like I did those trash slabs of ribs. Those slabs of ribs cost $62.40 before taxes. With taxes probably being another 5 or 6 dollars. Your mistakes and poor quality should not cost me. He had a young lady bring the replacement slab back out to me. She didn't say thank you or anything. One thing I know is that a white man or woman patronizing your business would not have been treated this way. As a result, moving forward I will spend my Black woman dollars elsewhere on barbeque and smoked chicken wings. Also, I removed you all from my company's approved catering list where we spend a nice amount with you all yearly. Tell Ethan, thanks for helping me see the light and not spend money where I'm not respected and where my customer experience isn't valued.
