I can think of four Tacoma places off hand to have a tasty, healthy lunch on the cheap.
- The culinary school at Bates College
- The Neighborhood Bistro at Goodwill
- The cafeteria in the Utilities Building off Union Ave
- St. Joe’s Hospital
Friday’s new place is #4 the Cafeteria at St. Joes (1717 South J Street, Tacoma). I needed to be there to see a patient and it was around lunchtime. So I went down to the lower level (not the snack bar) and had a lightly breaded fish sandwich. It was huge and delicious and came with a mountain of fries and a soda! All for under $5.00! There was plenty of seating both inside and outside. Parking is also free and not that hard to find. Really, nobody says “let’s go to the hospital and have lunch!”, but they should. 😀
