This food is addicting...

by BillG

This food is amazing, but be careful because it is addicting.... 1/2 Chick All Dark + Rice & Beans. Don't forget about dessert.

• Pros: Addicting Food

Great if they'd lighten up on the salt

by RighterOfWrongs

Calypso Cafe used to have the best lunch in the city but somebody needs to take the salt shaker away from the current chef--maybe it's me, but it's gotten VERY salty. The food was always good, always consistent, and the service is great. It?s got the occasional obnoxious, ill-mannered diner who doesn?t realize there are other people in the place with her while she screams into her cell phone, but I?m beginning to think that?s going to happen anywhere you go. What?s wrong with these people?

Anyway, Calypso Cafe?s a bit crowded at lunchtime, but they get you in and out pretty quickly. And it?s worth the wait--except on Sundays when the church people bring their fidgeting kids who should be on Ritalin but obviously aren?t.

If you go after 2PM for lunch, don?t expect the quality you get at noon?I don?t know why, but it seems to slip a bit after the lunch crowd leaves.

And please, guys, lose the salt. I haven't been there in over a year because my last two lunches were like eating the Dead Sea on top of salad greens. I'll try again in a month or so.

• Pros: Quick and tasty
• Cons: WAY too salty.

Good, healthy food at low prices--great for lunch or take-out

by jaw881

When I entered the staff was super-friendly and helped me with menu and ordering. The food was delicious, healthy, and plentiful. I got a chicken salad which was enough to feed 3 people and only cost ~$7. The decor is simple. Good place for lunch or takeout.

• Pros: Healthy food, friendly staff, cheap
• Cons: Use styrofoam containers...not so earth-friendly
