Greensboro Corporate Cafe - McLean

I LOVE this place!!! From the warm hospitality of ALL the people who work here, to the outstanding quality of the food, to the exceptional value in their pricing. I don 't have one negative thing to say about them. I particularly like the double meat sandwich for breakfast after a hard workout in the gym. On top of everything else, I feel that the people here genuinely care about me as a person, and this makes all the difference in the world. I 'm a hard critic b/c I worked in luxury hotels the majority of my working life. My career started with Ritz-Carlton hotels. If a place can live up to my high expectations, they are outstanding. You owe it to yourself to check this place out!

3.5 Stars NOTE: There is another Greensboro Cafe down the road. This one is the Greensboro CORPORATE Cafe and is located on the P1 level of building 8405 on Greensboro Dr. BREAKFAST REVIEW In an effort to snag the first to review, I headed to the Greensboro Corporate Cafe (GCC this morning for breakfast. The layout of the place was that of your standard small in office quickie mart food vendor, but with a twist. As you walk in there is a hot bar self service area with scrambled eggs, hash browns, home fries and other breakfast fare. As I walked into the main area, a kind Asian gentleman greeted me with a Good morning! and pointed me to the breakfast menu and told me about the hot bar offerings. I wasn 't in the mood for a big serve yourself type breakfast and scanned the breakfast menu for a listing of their offerings. The prices were very reasonable and the menu options were decent. They had combos that included eggs, bacon or sausage served with your choice of French toast, regular toast or pancakes. I opted for a simple breakfast sandwich of egg and cheese served on whole wheat toast. As I waited for my sandwich to be made (yes, made fresh! , the Asian gentleman that greeted me came out from behind the register and told me that they have a lunch buffet for lunch. He informed me that they had a great selection of Chinese food for lunch as well as other hot dishes that was part of their lunchtime buffet. Buffet? Yep, a buffet...wow. I thanked him for the information and promised to return to try out the buffet. By then, my sandwich was ready which for the size was a bargain at $2.82. The sandwich was nice and hot, the egg a freshly cracked egg (not that powder egg mix **** and the cheese was perfectly melted. The whole wheat bread was toasted perfectly and the sandwich was tasty....$2.82!! I thanked the gentleman again and thanked the kind lady who had prepared my sandwich. I 'll be back I said as I walked out sounding a bit like a poor man 's Schwarzenegger. Oh yes, I will be baaaaaaaaaaaaack!! : LUNCH REVIEW I did return, a few days after my breakfast sandwich experience. See, I don 't lie!! : First of all, I noticed that a TON of people were buying sammiches. I was feeling a bit wild and went for the buffet . The buffet is not an AYCE deal, but a pay by the pound type option. The costs about $6.89 per pound and my fat ass managed to rack up a bill of $11.55. Today 's buffet selection had bulgogi beef, sesame chicken, stir fried noodles, fried rice, white rice, cajun chicken, roasted turkey breast and oven baked potatoes. Here 's what I got and my notes: Bulgogi Beef Tender, slightly spicey but a bit too oily. Cajun Chicken Stir fried chicken breast with veggies and spicey crushed peper. Not bad, and not as oily as the beef. Stir Fried Noodles Ick. The noodles were tasteless and needed more veggies. The cabbage mixed with the noodles had the slight taste of Kimchi..which I liked. Didn 't like the pool of oil at the bottom of the area where the noodles were stored. Sesame Chicken Usual too sweet fare you can find at any other place. Heavy on the stomach but sweet on the lips. Fried Rice Not bad for a small cafe type place, but not the best. White Rice Do you really need me to describe this? It was white and was rice. : The one thing I really need to mention is the attention to service by the staff. I noticed the Asian gentleman who had greeted me the other day knew the names of all of his regular customers. Thank you very much Robert, have a wonderful day or Thank you Samantha, it was nice seeing you today were examples of what I heard. Even the other staff making the sandwiches would greet the regulars by name with Hellos and asking them if the wanted their usual sandwich. Wow! What a great personal touch

Got the butter chicken lunch special here, it was the driest butter chicken I have ever had. No sauce whatsoever. Salad also wasn't fresh. Will not be coming back.

Great buffet, very well prepared. Tastes good. Good variety. Nice people. Try it out today!

Great weekly lunch menu. Affordable price. Some are halal items. Tastes awesome. I've had their tilapia, chicken salad and bean soup. Salad dressing is to die for. Direction is confusing. It's inside the same building as sports health not the building next door. Parking is $4-$5 if you go over the 15 min threshold. So order ahead.
