Pick O' Deli Cafeteria @ Riverside

Food was awesome. My grandmothers country cooking made over! They even had pepper sauce for my greens. I will be returning every time I visit Rome, Ga!

Food was actually really good 10/9 was my first time ever eating here. I brought my patient we sat down to eat and I had two older gentleman walk up and be rude to me and snatch books from the table and one I tried to hand to him he ripped it out of my hand and was ugly and said he put books on the table to save his seat and said I should’ve known that. How was I supposed to know that when it’s crowded and I’ve never been here. They were just plain out ugly. Took my food to go.

Food is good we had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. The creamed corn was ok not spectacular the food was salty for me but I don't eat much salt. Service was cafateria style but they were all polite. Prices were fair for the type of place.

Rude staff. Was asked “what’s up?” By cashier and had others helped before me when I was waiting in line. I can’t say that’s ever happened before. I am very disappointed, seems like common decency and respect is not common practice anymore.

Great food... Nice place to eat.. East in and east out...

Enjoyed the food like home cooked. Will be back!!

We eat there at least once a week and enjoy the fresh cooked food! The service is very good and the staff are nice and helpful. The Coconut, pineapple cake is so very good. But in the last few weeks something has changed with the cake . Either I’m very unlucky and I’m consistently getting the slice with the least amount of icing per cake piece. Usually I get a nice big slice with a layer of icing on each layer of cake almost as thick as the cake layers themselves. For the last 3 times I’ve not received that at all. The icing has been very thin. I hope they have changed it, it’s amazing!

We had a Dr visit and I googled a place to eat. This popped up and was a few minutes from where we were. It's been a minute since I took a tray and went down the line, picking out my meal, but I did it! It was good and budget friendly to boot. They had an employee who worked the dining room, getting you refills, go boxes, etc. We really enjoyed it. NOTE-We have to go back next week for tests. I think we're going to try that chicken!! I've been reading reviews, and they all love the chicken. Ty!!

That's a little confusing for someone who's not a regular. I think everything is a la carte. As I said, it's confusing. I was looking for offerings like, 1 meat, 2 vegetables for a certain price or a vegetable plate for a set price. The food was okay. I would not discourage anyone from going.

Here's a revised version of the review:

The pot roast was flavorful and enjoyable, though the portion size didn't quite justify the price. However, the mashed potatoes and gravy were disappointing; they had an overly thick, gluey texture and were under-seasoned, reminiscent more of adhesive than a culinary delight.

It's clear this establishment isn't geared towards those with gluten intolerance. There's a high risk of cross-contamination, so it's not safe for anyone with celiac disease—even the vegetables might not be safe.

This venue might still appeal to older patrons without dietary restrictions. My mention of gluten issues was met with some confusion, indicating a lack of awareness or concern for food sensitivities.

Dietary restrictions: Not celiac or cross contamination friendly
