The View Cafe

Been to Mountain View Hospital several times for various reasons and each time I found myself eating here out of convenience. I gotta say that each time I went I was pleasantly surprised by what they have here.They have just about everything for everybody whether its burgers, pizza, wings, salad, cold sandwiches, etc. Plenty of tables and chairs to sit down and eat your food too.Service has been pleasant every time and prices are actually not bad at all. A whole meal will average you around 6 to 7 dollars.The only things that might be considered negative are the hours and quality of food. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner they are closed an hour in between each period. Look for the picture I took of their business hours. As for the food, don't expect gourmet style creations. Just your basic stuff. In closing, if you don't like anything here, there is a Subway down the hall which I think is open 24 hours. Yelp 2019 Review #37779 overall

More of a 3.5* review, but friendly workers and bang for your buck value bumped it up. This self-serve cafeteria is just inside the lobby of MountainView Hospital, and has extensive hours (closes at 8PM, but reopens 11PM-2AM) and a wide array of good, to very good sustenance for those visiting, and seemingly, many employees. There's a salad bar which charges by the ounce, three hot items du jour (International station), grab and go wings, fingers, roasted chicken, with the option of add on fries. Two hot soups rotate daily, and chili seems to always be offered. There's a grill which cooks burgers, grilled cheese, BLTs and the like to order. Soda machines, coffee, tea, soft serve ice cream and a freezer with Good Humor type treats are available. In the refrigerated section are sammies (the chicken salad and turkey were AOk) cakes, pies, yogurt parfaits, commercial yogurts, juice, soda, milk and H20. Everyone I encountered there from grill workers to a smiling cashier who proclaimed "I love my job!" at ten minutes to quitting time, were all helpful and sweet. It can be a stressful time having a loved one in hospital, and they were a breath of fresh air. *Quick tip* though the prices are crazy cheap, if you are staying on the unit with a loved one, they will order food from the "Room Service" menu free of charge; there's also a Nutrition Pantry you will usually be guided to once they know you.The fingers were inexpensive and tasty.

It's hospital cafeteria food! It also way overpriced for hospital food! The salad bar is mediocre at best and non of the employees smile or even look happy to be there! It's ok if you have family in the hospital and can't get away or go to far and need something to eat but I wouldn't go to this if your looking for a restaurant to go to!

If you've found this review, it means:1) You work on Tenaya in one of the many lonely business-plexes2) You're sick of the two walkable restaurants advertising "$2 Buds, 24 Hour Gaming," and "Kitchen Closed, Bar Open" The View Cafe is a cafeteria oasis, nestled right in the front entrance of the Mountain View Hospital complex. Just walk in and turn right for "urgent care" or make a left for "convenient eats."This little Cafe receives a solid 3 stars on my behalf, comprised of 2 stars for tastiness, 3 stars for variety and 4 stars for convenience. Additionally, the atmosphere is excellent, the seating is ample, and the non-profit prices simply can't be beat. I love the idea of eating a reduced cost lunch in the midst of Las Vegas' top 10% of wage earners (such as doctors & nurses).Some highlights:-Today had blackened salmon, 2 sides and a 20oz fountain drink for $6.49.-Employees get an additional discount-Burgers and wraps made to order-Pizza, soup, salads available-Bendy straws for your drink-Chocolate milk-Food related incidents such as choking, IBS and bloating can be rapidly responded to by the numerous trained medical professionals.Thank you, View Cafe, for sustenance I can rely on in this food-limited neighborhood.

This was possibly the worst hamburger I have ever eaten. Soggy bun, hamburger pre cooked and soaking in water until ordered, then grilled. Don't understand the good reviews. I give it 2 * because it's clean and cheap and convenient to my docs. I will try something else next time. They do have decent looking salads.

Veggie burger made to order was amazing !!!! Got a lemon merengue pie, yogurt parfait, turkey sandwich, cookie ice cream and a drink all for $7 couldn't beat that !! Food was awesome.

The service that I received from the staff at the cafe has been extraordinary! I've been here for about a week caring for a family member and whenever I have been ready to eat, the food options are plentiful & various. Understandably, the cafe can be a busy place, with hospital staff & patient families awaiting their orders. However, the cooks are fast & the food orders are accurate. A special thank you goes out to chef Lisa, who has gone over & beyond the call to ensure that my dining experience was special. Thank you all, your kindness will never be forgotten.

haha.. funny thing its the hospital cafeteria... they have a good grill... eat there every day!!

CAFE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PATIENTS AND LOVED ONESAs of today, I have been at this hospital nearly every day for a month. I have a parent literally dying in this hospital.Having been told many times that the cafe closes at midnight, I rushed down when I realized it was 11:54pm to get a fresh fountain soda as I sit vigil overnight. I got there at 11:58pm after having to take a detour because the elevator was out.At the cafe, a person identifying themselves as Mars was wrapping up the salad bar and said they are closed.I say, "Everyone tells me you are open until midnight."Mars says they are open until 11:59pm.I tell Mars, "It is not even 11:59 yet."Mars replies they are closed. Mars already closed the registers. Mars would have to reopen them and do inventory."All I want is a fountain pop."Mars ignores the fact that my request does not impact inventory and reiterates that they already closed the registers."My parent is literally dying upstairs and you are going to close early? I can't get a little caffeine to stay awake while I sit with her?"Mars stares blankly and clearly gives zero craps.I start crying. Mars continues to stare blankly and give zero craps. Mars offers no apology. No information about vending machines/alternatives. No nothing. Mars just gives the "I give zero craps" stare. Still crying, I walk away feeling Mars is a selfish, callous, careless, human being who should not work in a place where caring for people is an element of the job.Hey, at least writing a Yelp review helps me stay awake. Thanks, Yelp. I apparently can't count on staff at a hospital to be supportive, but you are always there for me.
