George Washington University Hospital Cafeteria

I have been here a few times while getting x-rays. One of those times I was fortunate enough to get Mac and cheese and collard greens for $3 each for a generous portion. It was really delicious! For a hospital cafeteria, I was very grateful. The entree section changes what they serve. Today, it was lasagna. I passed on that and choose the grill instead having cheese burgers for my family. It's a clean space and has plenty of seats. A lot of staff seem to frequently eat here. That's a good thing because that must mean they have great consistency with the options they offer. It closes at 2 pm, and is only open on weekdays. So be mindful of that. But it's a convenient way to make sure we are having a clean food option when taking care of hospital business.

I spent the better part of a day playing chauffeur to a friend who had to go to George Washington University Hospital for a procedure.I missed breakfast, so I was starving by the time we got into DC. After getting my friend checked in with his Doctor - I went down to The George Washington University Hospital cafeteria - which is located on the lobby level - to work and hang out. When they opened for lunch at 11:00 am - I breezed in and looked things over. They have Grill, Entrée, and Pizza stations, as well as the salad bar.I opted for the salad bar - and made myself a custom salad. All of the ingredients were fresh - the only reason for 3 stars is the vegetable selection was a bit on the sparse side.Overall, a decent salad.Paid with Apple Pay#GeorgeWashingtonUniversityHospitalCafeteria

Minus 2 star is for the midwifes. Be aware! Midwifes do not necessarily have all the necessary training and cannot replace OB if the labour requires even elementary interventions, despite of what they claim. And, if you are with midwifes, they don't really like calling for OB, even though they claim they do that. One of the midwifes screwed up my labour. This woman, first, doesn't know the birthing poses, second, offers dangerous treatment when safer is available (I am so happy I did my reading!), and third behaved out of borders with respect to all the other staff that treated me. Because of her I labored for 3 days and had to get epidural at the end. And I had to almost yell at them to get an OBGYN look at me.Minus 2 starts for terrible service at the billing department. I gave a birth to my baby there a year ago. Within this time I haven't received a single bill in the mail. Instead they sent them to collector companies. All the calls I get from them are automated, where I am asked to stay on the line and get hung up on after 30min of waiting. Same story if I try to call them.When after months of attempts I finally got someone on the phone, they told me I am not in the system! I described them the situation and they said they can't help. I asked to escalate. They promised to put me on the line with their supervisor and I got... yes, got hung up on over there as well!Long story short, I have never had such a frustrating experience with any billing department before=(((Honestly, for how much it costs to give a birth at GWH, the service I received so far deserves negative score...

Yes, now there are many more food options in the area, but few (or none) are so cheap. Where else can 2 people eat breakfast for under $6 including a Starbucks coffee?In the morning, they have 3 hot cereals (grits, oatmeal, and cream of wheat) and toppings for them including raisins, nuts, brown sugar for 99 cents. We had 2 oatmeals, 1 carton of milk, and a Starbucks coffee for under $6.

So why I am writing about a hospital cafeteria let alone giving it four stars?As far as hospital food goes, it's not too shabby! Breakfast here is your best bet. Inexpensive, hot, and generous portions. What's not to like?The other non-breakfast food is your basic pizza, hot dogs, fries, burgers, soup, salad bar (which is kind of rip off in my opinion), rotating daily special, and as of about 6-7 months ago a Subway (i.e. a known commodity). What is really shocking is the sushi here. It's legit, good, and way better priced than your average sushi in DC! Trust me, I was skeptical too at first.Attached to the cafeteria is 24 hours Starbucks, which can be a lifesaver since the cafeteria closes around 7PM and Subway closes at 11PM.The staff is friendly and the place is always clean.

If wheelchairs and ambulances get your stomach growling, then this is the place for you! Located conveniently by the Foggy Bottom Metro, its a must-stop location for breakfast and a good option for lunch and dinner as well.I work in the area and will frequent the cafeteria with my co-workers. The variety of food stations have been mentioned (grill, salad bar, sushi, smoothies, etc.) and provide enough options to satisfy everyone. The price of the food is what really makes this a great quick meal: a made-to-order omelet is just a couple bucks. As for lunch, the white bean chili is a staple.The dining hall isn't filled with invalids or crying widows - it's actually well-lit, clean and has plenty of tables to accommodate your party. In fact, many of the hospital's doctors will eat here as well. So if you're single and ready to mingle with some well-to-do professionals then check it out. (And if that doesn't work, the GW law school is only a few blocks away - you can roam around there.)

This cafeteria is bright, clean, bustling, and cheerful. It is right across the street from the Foggy Bottom metro station and very convenient to a number of GW's main academic buildings. There is a Starbucks and a Subway, as well as a grill station, sushi counter, hot entree station, salad bar, pizza station, and soda fountain.I had a salmon avocado roll and a small diet lemonade from the soda fountain. The fountain was clean and the lids and cups were well-organized. I was bummed, however, that there was no club soda/seltzer option. (My go-to fountain drink these days is 1/3 Sprite and 2/3 seltzer.) But having a low-cal, caffeine-free option in the diet lemonade is a definite plus.The sushi was surprisingly fresh, and the interplay of textures from the subtly-seasoned rice, the salmon, the creamy avocado, and the cold, crunchy matchstick slivers of cucumber was far, far better than I had any real right to expect from cafeteria sushi. At $5.99 for eight decently-sized pieces, it was priced well, too.If I were hungrier, I might have tried the hot entree station, but as it was, I was put off by the fact that both proteins--crispy tilapia and chicken parmesan--were breaded. I wish there'd been a lighter option available there. That being said, I was impressed by the yummy-looking maduros I saw there.The salad bar was understocked and the veggies there looked wilted and unappetizing. It was messy and disorderly. Just not inviting, at all. The salad bar should really have pride of place in a hospital cafeteria, I think. It seemed a shame that it looked basically like an afterthought.The staff were friendly and efficient at the register. Napkins, straws, etc., were all well-stocked and centrally located.There was plenty of seating at the time I went (around noon on a weekday), and I was also delighted to find that there is ample outdoor seating available, as well. There's a strip of grass and trees just beyond the perimeter of the outdoor seating area, which adds to its ambience. It was quite a congenial spot to sit quietly and enjoy my sushi lunch.I'm glad my fellow Yelpers hipped me to this place. It's a really legit option for lunch around GW. I'll be trying breakfast here, soon.Update: I've now tried the turkey burger at the grill station. Will I completely destroy my "foodie" cred if I tell you that it was legitimately tasty? The turkey was flavorful and juicy, and it was served on a toasted whole wheat bun. Tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, and condiments are self-serve. For only $3.50, it's a nice option for a quick meal. Add a medium drink for $1.15 and there you go: lunch or a small dinner for under five bucks.Salad bar is still atrocious, though.

I've been to a lot of hospital cafeterias in my day, and I can confidently share that this is best hospital cafeteria I've been to by far!! Amazing food, great prices (especially on those chicken sandwiches), and diverse palate to satisfy one's needs.The staff are also so warm and family-like. Always made my day when I would come down from my shift to see them. What the cafeteria lacks in fanciness or "prestige" it more than makes up for in heart and soul.I'm a simple man. When I get good food, good vibes, from good people, I give 5 stars. Seriously, do yourself a favor and come visit this place!

It's hospital food. When ordering from your room, there's a fair chance something will be wrong with the order when you receive it. When the room service phone line is down (I waited an hour to place a lunch order; their hold music/recordings are awful!), they will eventually bring you a plate of something standard, but it would be nice if they would have their operators tell you the line is down instead of transferring you to a line that will just have you waiting on hold indefinitely.

On an extended stay in the maternity ward with the wife and new born, and could not have been more impressed. Because of the pandemic there was a limited selection in the actual cafeteria so I only tried the chicken gyro's, totally worth it, and very inexpensive for the area. The next three days I ate with my recovering wife, we cleaned our plates every time, and tried just about the whole menu. As hospital food goes, this blew our minds, it was so goodThe people working were a joy as well, always a smile and quite courteous. During a time when we are scared to bring a new child into the world, this really helpedFood is the great uniter, and they are doing their job quite well. It is noticed and you are appreciated
