Cafe 329

Being that I was a student at SOLCC and I ate at Cafe 329 often and continue to eat there even after I graduated, I will respond to the previous review by a fellow "student".

Cafe 329 has awesome food.  Even for a small cafe they have a real executive chef, not just some cook who's worked their way up.  As far as "refills"  since you added a drink to your meal you only paid $1.50 (instead of the normal $1.75) for your drink and being a student you got a 10% discount, so you paid $1.40 + tax for 40 OZ OF DRINK, THAT'S OVER A QUART OF LIQUID.  WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR $1.40???????????????  

Since I eat out regularly, let me help educate you.  Most establishments charge upwards of $2.75 + TAX for iced tea or sodas and give you unlimited refills.   Cafe 329 does not charge you that much and gives you a 10% discount as well , yet you want the same "unlimited" in return for way less the cost.   Just because the building is located "next to a college" no one ever said it was a "college stop".

your words:  "People are on budgets and pay a lot for food ( $10 for burger fry and drink)"   DO YOU EVER EAT ANYWHERE BESIDES MCDONALD'S, SONIC OR TACO BELL??????????????? 

04/19/2017 Update, last night I ate at BJ's Brewhouse, I ordered a Bacon cheeseburger, it comes with fries,  They charge $11.25 for the burger and fries (5 OZ HAMBURGER PATTY, as they advertise on their menu), Cafe 329 charges $9.30 (7 OZ HAMBURGER PATTY) almost 1.5 times the amount of meat and that price IS WITH FRIES.   Correct me if I'm wrong, but $9.30 doesn't seem expensive to me compared to comparable items in the city.   Maybe if you ate out more, you'd realize the value of good quality food and what it costs at other places.   BTW BJ's also sells a side of fries for $3.75,  yup i said it $3.75,   -     $1.75 for a side of fries at Cafe 329 sure as hell seems like a bargain to me......  Maybe I just payed attention in BASIC MATH CLASS.

Let me help educate you again:   IT'S CALLED SHREDDED LETTUCE, ALMOST EVERYONE USES IT ON BURGERS, NO ONE PUTS ROMAINE LETTUCE ON BURGERS.  Get out more, eat out more.

According to your review everyone should sell similar items for the same price.

Well why does a BMW cost more than a Volkswagen? they're both vehicles right?
They should be the same price.

I guess the quality of the products or production doesn't matter to you.  Well it does matter to the rest of us that eat out regularly.  Honestly you seem like one of those "children" that always got a PARTICIPATION AWARD even when you lost.

As far as the manager being "rude", is it that he was rude or you just don't like it when things don't go the way you expect.  I bet every time you threw a temper tantrum when you were a child because didn't get you way, your parents bought you a toy.  There's a big difference in someone being rude and you just considering people that way, because YOU didn't get your way.  You have much disappointment coming to you in life (most things will NOT go your way)

Maybe you should stick to Subway, McDonald's and especially Taco Bell.
Seems these places fit your taste buds more adequately.

ON BEHALF OF  MYSELF AND THE COUNTLESS PEOPLE THAT EAT AT CAFE 329 MANY TIMES A WEEK,  thanks Cafe for doing a great JOB.

The internet is a wonderful place of knowledge and much misinformation as well.  Just because it allows us to critique establishments, food or otherwise, doesn't mean all of us have the "intelligence" to do it properly.

I am sorry that this is lengthy but, I get passionate when "ignorance" shows it's ugly head on the internet.

The food is good, I feel the prices are fare .

The staff here was amazing. Very hospitable, very nice, very friendly. Trying to bend over backwards to keep us happy, and we really appreciated it! We had our family reunion here and we were a crowd. They did a fantastic job. The only downside was the canned veggies. Meh. Everything else was awesome and we were so happy to be there.

Nice, laid-back atmosphere with students studying and business men meeting for lunch. The fried and grilled food was cooked to order, so took a minute for our fried shrimp and catfish, but was worth the wait. Even the cole slaw was great and I'm kinda picky in that area!

I love the food especially the burger's, fried catfish and shrimp. Honestly everything is good at cafe 329. If you haven't tried it geaux there quickly. Also follow them on Facebook to enter their drawings everyday for free plate lunches.

The red beans and rice was good and was very fairly priced. I felt like the poboys are a little overpriced, but not by much. They're still really good. I think it's a great place for lunch, especially if you're on SLCC campus.
