MJ Cafe

MJ's cafe is pretty good for Adairsville. The man who runs the place is super nice.  Their food is cheap and brings back memories of cafeteria food from high school that many people hate to admit they loved.  If you happen to find yourself in Adairsville give it a try over the chains and Support Small Town Businesses.

I was faced with two options this afternoon:  Subway or MJ Cafe.  "I guess I'll try something new," I thought, and walked into MJ.  My first impulse when I stepped inside was to run back out.  Had I not been greeted so cheerfully, I would have bolted.  On one of the walls, there is an out-of-place mural of a lake and some swans.  Against the opposite wall is a Pac Mania machine that looks like it could be 30 years old.  

The menu at MJ is limited.  I wanted a fish sandwich, but they don't have that anymore.  Then I ordered apple juice.  They were out of that as well.  Finally, I settled on a turkey and cheese sandwich.  I COULD easily make a sandwich at home like the one I received...but I WOULDN'T.  The sandwich came on wheat bread.  The turkey wasn't even the deli-sliced kind.  It reminded me of the cheap meat at the supermarket that still has that slimy, jelly stuff on the edges.  Iceberg lettuce, a tomato, and a slice of American cheese were the other toppings.  The sandwich came with a single pack of mayonnaise.  

I also ordered onion rings.  They weren't bad, but they couldn't compensate for the nastiness of the sandwich.  The people in MJ were nice, but absolutely nothing could compel me to return here.
