You pay your money, you take your plate and you eat. There was not a single item on the menu that had any flair at all. Just basic cafeteria spread even down to the weak perked coffee. But what are you going there for? Quantity. Quantity to tide you over the weekends when you can't get home. You don't want to get there and let your delicate feeling towards 'going out' and 'special' muck up your plans; the Smorgasbord business is the same as a bookie... it works on the law of averages. The proprietor thinks none the less of you for being a winner, because there are plenty more behind you who will eat less than they paid for.

I got a chipped plate and a dirty cup and saucer but overall was not disappointed. You can go there on a Friday night and slowly eat yourself to standstill. No extras; no musak; and as much as you like for five bucks.
