Roadrunner Cafe — Restaurant in San Antonio

So many people make reviews saying that the food is nasty and such. While this is true many times, there are good food choices as well. There's hamburgers, fries, grilled chicken burgers, hotdogs, and either fried chicken burgers or fish filet sliders as the variable food choice in the "grill" line. The "healthy line" has different stuff all the time, but THOSE choices usually do not taste like anything be it rice, a bunch of vegetables thrown together or something. Next it the "decent meal line" (i don't know what the line is called), they have different stuff all the time too be it wedges, turkey, spiced potatoes, brisket, grilled chicken w/bbq or w/o bbq, chicken nuggets, fried fish sticks, pasta (several kinds), fried cheese sticks, and other stuff. There's the sandwich line that is pretty good. The omelet line is pretty good, but you have to know the workers and know who makes them adequately (since some of the workers have nasty methods to flipping the omelet, among other nasty things). Unless you are a whiny kid, you should be able to find a satisfactory meal within the cafe. Some of the meals that are awesome are: Fried chicken burgers, fried fish sticks, most pastas, any sandwich (you tell them what to put in it), any omelet (you tell them what to put in it, just get one when there is a good worker making them), pizza (you don't get to decide what goes on it but it's pretty good when the right person made it), the hot wings are killer but they only make those like every other month (if you see those, eat as many as you can since their like shiny pokemon rare), salads are good, donuts are awesome, etc. I also noticed that someone said that the food servings are too small, this makes no sense, if you are still hungry you just go get more. I guess 8/10 times you should get a meal that will satisfy you, which is not that bad (great improvement from high school). The 2/10 times that you can't find something you like, you should have extra $200 to spend at Panda Express or Starbucks or Chick-Fil-A or something (depends on meal plan). Hope this...

Seeing as how many on here bash the cafe with the eloquence befitting middle schoolers, i decided to write one as well. The cafe, 2015-2016 is not a place to go to if you require food of the utmost level. The food there is sustenance for studying and getting along your day. There is rarely anything fancy, and as nowadays there are people who have so many allergies and "fancy" tastes, there is not much seasoning on the dishes because one side will always complain. The hours at the cafe are troublesome for those who really on it as their 3 meals a day as breakfast is shut down half an hour before its labeled time and weekends time frames are shortened. Now this is can all be credited as a monetary reason but it is still hard on those who actually acquired a meal plan so they would not have to make their own food. About the drink situation, of course the fountain is going to run dry at peak hours of the day. Ice in your drink is not the corner stone of whether or not you eat, it is just a nice luxury. Now I am not saying it doesn't upset me when there is no ice, but I know that this is the real world where not everything works at a timed cycle. The employees cannot possibly know the instant when a certain drink or the ice runs out, However, this does not excuse how most of the time food is unavailable. Certain items such as mac and cheese, pasta (when it is good), pizza, cookies, etc. are foods that are taken quickly. This should become apparent to whoever decides the quantity of food to prepare each day and so on. The Roadrunner Cafe is not the best. This is obvious. In the areas it can improved in are things that we as consumers have to tell those who run the cafe. The cafe is very amenable to trying to change what it has and does, like a vegan/vegetarian section. Just saying something sucks without giving criticisms to work off of will accomplish...

The Roadrunner Cafe has several 'all you care to eat' stations to choose from; ranging from a fully functional Mongolian barbecue, to home cooked favorites, fire roasted pizza, a desert bar, and much more. The staff is always willing to get you what you would like and they encourage skipping from station to station for ingredients. Does the burrito bar not have beef? Well you can go right next door to the Mongolian BBQ station and have them cook steak, onions, and bell peppers (don't forget to grab the chili spices located next to the fries and have them season your meat while it cooks) and then head over to the burrito bar and have them use those ingredients to make an awesome dinner. For students with meal plans, there are plastic take out containers that you can use for the semester. I enjoyed filling mine with two lbs of meat loaf or Carne Asada that I could take home and freeze for later. The belgian waffle station is always open if you don't feel like getting up in the morning for breakfast before classes. Take those home with a bit of fruit and you'll have an amazing breakfast. The staff is highly amenable and routinely gets me whatever I ask for even if it's not currently on one of the stations. Sometimes instead of those waffles I like cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast and they will happily head back and grab some for me. Also, parents, when you come by to visit, the cafe has reasonable prices when you consider it's all you can eat. So you can sit down for an hour with junior and eat. Make sure to get all huggy and kissy and...
