Fried chicken very good and piece sizes are large. I had all white meat served with mashed potatoes tasted (homemade) and gravy and salad. French dressing not traditional, it's better. Also served with yeast rolls with honey butter (I believe) and 2 small cinnamon rolls. Wish there were more. Desserts very good and if you come for dinner, still ask for coffee cake. Take it home at eat the pie in the restaurant.

People were friendly. They were getting out samples, it was more reasonably priced than I was expecting.

The servers were nice but they were overwhelmed, not enough staff present so not their fault. Food was very good though!

The food was really good. I've been to lots of hospitals unfortunately and their food doesn't compare, e.g., Iowa City or Mayo. It was reasonably priced and everyone was so friendly. I was thankful that St. Francis had such a pleasant Thanksgiving dinner waiting for me.
