Great lunch place in midtown! I was taken here for lunch on my first day of work (I work in the Regions plaza building across the street) and I have ordered it almost once a week since then. I've had a variety of sandwiches but their best thing is their quesadillas. I normally get the classic chicken, but have also had the buffalo chicken (which if you are a buffalo/blue cheese fan - 100% order this). I usually order it online, wait five minutes, and walk down and get it and it's hot and ready, sitting and waiting for me in their to-go cubbies along the wall. It is served with chips, salsa, and sour cream. It is a large portion too, so sometimes I have left overs.The menu is a little bit basic, but is really good for a cafe and the location/proximity to work cannot be beaten.

I'll make this short. DON'T GO. First off the food ain't good. They don't tell the truth on what they have. Asked for a chicken quesidilla and was told they only had fried chicken while I clearly see chicken grilling. I mention this she just stares at me. I order the most horrendous sandwich. Which takes 45 minutes. I mention this she shrugs. DON'T GO. They're expensive and horrible.

The last couple times I ate lunch there it was much better than today. I had the chicken tenders & fries (same as last time) but the tenders were a joke. Kid-size portions today when last time they were each twice the length. And they were overcooked. If I didn't have honey mustard to dip them in, I don't think I would have been able to eat them. The fries were good though & they give you a lot. For $10.50, you need to offer adult-size chicken tenders. I wish I had taken a picture.Despite this, I will return since I work nearby. I will for sure never get the tenders again. I think a quesadilla or a sandwich would be a safer bet. Although my coworker got a chicken quesadilla today & said the chicken was dry.Too many places lately have decreased their portions & jacked up their prices. Do one or the other, but not both.

If I could give less than one star I would. I work in midtown and the area has lots of options when it comes to restaurants but I chose to come here. My favorite breakfast item is a bowl of grits because they are phenomenal. I buy them as often as I can. This morning however I ordered a bowl and I was told that the manager won't let them sell it by the bowl anymore that I have to buy a cup and they would charge me the same price as the bowl for a much smaller portion. Who in their right mind would buy a cup of grits for $6.00. Since the restaurant reopened a few months ago the quality of the food and the customer service has gone down hill. I know that inflation is real but come on now.....they have proven that they do not value me or anyone else as a customer. Avoid it at all costs.

Unfortunately, 0 stars is not an option. DO NOT use Carolyn's for catering. I had a very important meeting today and spent over $600 on lunch ordered from Carolyn's. The order was 30 mins late. When I called to speak with them, they told me I was wrong, didn't offer any kind of resolution and were incredibly rude on the phone. Take your business elsewhere!!

For the most part Carolyn's is a pretty solid lunch option. I do miss the old location where they were able to have a full bar and curly fries were always on the menu. My only issue is the bleu cheese, someone here must love it because they put it on EVERYTHING it seems like, and in a greater quantity than I think most would deem as necessary.The pizza, sandwiches/wraps and the quesadillas are on point. The grab'n'go stuff is pretty good too.

I work in this building, so I've been to Carolyn's quite a few times for lunch and feel underwhelmed each time. Though I would return, the main reason is convenience and not wanting to go outside when it's cold!I've gotten their seasonal loaded potato soup (no good, it's watery and gritty instead of creamy and rich), meatball sub (not bad but the meatballs needed a lot more flavor), and buffalo chicken quesadilla (pretty good though lacking in hot sauce, mostly tastes like plain chicken and blue cheese). On the plus side, their dishes are generally cooked well, they are just lacking in the flavor department.Service is very fast, even during the lunch rush, and there is a good amount of seating. Pricing for the portion size (which is about right size for a hearty lunch) is about what you would expect for midtown.

I cannot say enough good things about Carolyn's food or customer service and I have ordered from them at least 20 times to feed a group of 20+.We have run the gamut on their menu having everything from burgers and chicken, pasta and salad (the vegetarian lasagna is FULL of veggies), sandwich wraps (the ones on the appetizer menu are awesome!), BBQ, wings, quesadillas, potato bar, and even breakfast. Add to that the largest selection of sides that I can put my hands on: chicken salad (that is awesome as a side or a meal), potato salad, and dips galore - I even did a dip day for the masses and they loved it. I've never had anything that wasn't above average other than the mac and cheese didn't go over so well.Their customers service puts it over the top as well. The catering manager, Mark, is a gem to work with; so pleasant and accommodating to start with, much less my questions/ needs for vegetarians and gluten-free options. The people who deliver have a smile on their face from entry through set up.I order from them weekly and never have a singly worry that it will be hot, on time, and wonderful. If they can do that with catering and the time food is sitting before it gets to us, from the kitchen to your table is a breeze...give it a shot!

Carolyn's Gourmet Cafe is a really good cafe. The food is really good. The service could use a little work. I understand at lunch time it is sometimes extremely business and I understand the wait sometimes. My issue is breakfast. I came down at 8:05am to get breakfast and it was closed. I waited another 5 minutes and then I was told there was no cashier and to come back in 20 minutes. This is the 2nd time that this has happened. There were 3 of us standing there waiting to get in.

This was supposed to be an upscale deli and I could not disagree more. The driver was rude and dressed in ripped jeans.There was no ice, no extra napkins, the tea was hot and the cups are for a small child. The cookies were raw. Some of the boxes didn't have silverware so they couldn't eat the tiny portion of pasta salad. The sandwiches were wrapped in Saran Wrap vs a nice paper wrapped sandwich. Seems that they were made the night before and they are soggy. I thought this place would be a step above Jason's deli but we were disappointed. Jason's is many steps above this place. We order catering quite a bit as a big corporation and they are crossed off the list.
