MCL Restaurant & Bakery Carmel

Comfort food reasonably priced. Nothing fancy, just generally good eating. And don't forget the yummy pies & the strawberry shortcake dessert (in season).

Love the MCL...I have been visiting different locations for 35 years since I was a small child. This last experience was below average. We arrived a little after 5 on Monday evening. Everything looked yummy but once we got seated and dug in...the chicken was not hot almost cold and was dry. Which is disappointing because I always choose dark meat..its hard to dry out dark meat! The macaroni and cheese was too aldente and bland and the broccoli was not cooked long enough. I couldn't eat most of it..the cheese was runny and all over my plate. And last but not least the roll was NOT fresh by any means. All in all very disappointing. The highlight of the visit though was seeing my old boss bussing tables. ????

The service and food was very good. I was however dismayed with the ladies restroom. It needs cleaning from top to bottom especially the walls and doors of the stalls. I'm still cringing over going in there so it colored my experience.
Our waitress was outstanding and everyone was very kind and helpful.

The food is great and has a good selection. The staff was friendly and their was no wait. I would come back.

Hadn't been for a long time. There were many options and everything was tasty. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It is set up for family dining. We went when really quiet.
