Come get a bite at Cafeteria. Great restaurant, even though the staff are somewhat aloof. A lot of cuties if that's what you are looking for.

Its ok, slightly over rated. Got the classic burger its okay nothing special. Fries are good and desert looked pretty yummy. Mac and cheese might be the way to go.

Do not get the blue crab roll. It's terrible. I'd stick to the Mac and cheese plates here--those stand out. And the old fashioned is fucking great.

Love this place BUT... Randomly closed when you expect it to be open - call first. Also, no grilled cheese at night??? WTF??

The only good things are mac and cheese and cocktails. Don't let the menu fool you - stick to the basics.
