Washington Hospital of Fremont Cafeteria

This is a very amazing facility.
I’m impressed that they think ahead for entry security as well as state-​of-​the-​art medical needs.
They even take care of little details like flowers and balloons to cheer up people when they’re facing so many challenges.
Not that anyone wants to get sick but if you have to Washington Hospital is a place to go.

My father broke his shoulder today! It a major brake! He 88 years old who walks with walker! He in so much pain now he can’t even walk! The doctor said we can’t keep him? I question the doctors making that type of decision for 88 year old man who needs care? Washington hospital really has slipped! They have security all over the hospital! Its a prison not a top notch hospital who rips off the community! They killed my mother in this hospital with their neglect and lack of care!

I’m a connoisseur of hospital cafeterias.
Whether its a place to eat or a refuge from the hustle and bustle, you can count on a place to sit either be by yourself or take in the company of friends and family.
Cafeterias say a lot about the hospital and the neighborhood they are located in. For example, while working on a project at SFGH, I would have lunch in their cafeteria. It seemed like their menu never changed. Lunch was always spaghetti, salad and a roll. Served up indifferently on a paper tray along the stainless steel line, it was something akin to being in jail. Not too far of an analogy as there were sheriff’s deputies everywhere.
Quite the contrast to WHHS. Towards the late 90’s as Washington West was just opening up, the cafeteria went through changes of its own into the scene we enjoy today. Basically it went from an institutional look to a warm vibe. Probably the one thing that sets this cafeteria apart is the patio which was there since like the beginning.
Enough of that, so let’s talk about food. I would have to agree with other Unilocalers that the fry station is probably one of the bigger attractions. Don’t get me wrong, its institutional comfort food, but they have crinkle fries along with fried favorites like fish and chips and egg rolls. Entrees can be comfort food bliss. At one time, they had these really good cabbage rolls and mutton stew that I haven’t seen in a long time. The holidays are on point with the typical turkey loaf, stuffing, gravy thing. All of it pretty cheap. For you Filipino folk, they have lugaw. Burger station, hot dog stand, and salad bar are what you expect. Almost forgot about breakfasts… standards, eggs, bacon, etc. Just the smell of it will make you feel better.

Went there to visit family. The eggplant parasaen was a 10+ not to mention the thick chicken soup. wow

My mother was in the hospital for her kidney stone, went to the emergency and she had to wait for an hour and half to get in. The pain was bad and they wouldn’t take her in unless you are there in an ambulance. What a place for poor people. The nurses and assistant nurses are very rude and not cooperative. When you want to ask them a question without any smile and rude response.

Good staffs, compassionate and organized.

I was here on rotations and I must say that I enjoyed the cafeteria very much! I don’t know why, but I am addicted to their fries… I feel that they have a lot of choice options from the salad bar, hot food section, grill, soups, coffee/​tea, pastries, fruits, sandwich area, etc, and ice cream! A downside is that they’re cash only and I heard they recently raised their prices. Hospital cafeterias FTW!

I personally hate washington hospital there security people are so annoying i wanted to go down stairs to the cafeteria and the security guy stopped me and asked me how old i was! I told him my correct age and he still didn’t believe me so he went with me to the cafeteria! When i got there everything was sold out! Waste of my time dealing with securing guys and at the end left with nothing!

Where can you get the best food inside a hospital cafeteria? The prices are reasonable. They make different main entrees every day of the week. They also serve breakfast and dinner. Other snack foods are available too like chili dogs, low-​fat frozen yogurt, cookies, burgers, sweet potato fries, salads, sodas, etc. They have all in here.
They only accept cash.

I just recently stumbled upon this gem of a cafeteria.
I was confined in the hospital for 5 days and ate regular diet from their cafeteria. And guess what, I lost weight. And the weight lost has nothing to do with my ailment which I would rather not discuss.
Anyway, I have tried NutriSystem, Jenny Craig and Weigh Watchers. They all work but you can’t beat fresh cooked meal from WH Cafeteria. Their dishes are tasty especially if you consider they are usually lower in fat and salt (at least, I think). But then again, you have free range on the condiments, so it can back fire bad as well.
Well, I am convinced. I am going to give this cafeteria a try and eat there for as long as I can and see if the weight continues to come off…
Until then… I’ll keep updating…
BTW, their gel treats (Kozy Shack brand) are the best! And I can only find them here…5 calories for the sugar-​free version… can’t beat that… And its way better than Jell-​O.

still 5 stars. happened to be in the area and was hungry. so why not???
Bagel dogs??? frickin delicious.
raided the make your own sandwhich station again.
and the clam chowder!!! if only they had bread bowls.
