Recently we have had the opportunity to dine (more than once) at this fine establishment.
Okay, don't go out of your way, but if you like cafeteria food, this is pretty good. I would recommend not going to the grill, this is where they make the hamburgers. They are very overcooked and not worth the wait, but I have to admit the guys behind the counter always seem friendly.
The area where the pizza is usually has some special of the day. I enjoyed the Fajitas, very tasty and it was warm when the cook gave it to me. Unfortunately by the time I waited in line to pay for my meal it was cold.
The sandwiches are good and made to order. They are more expensive than other foods available, but the quality is pretty good.
If you are unfortunate enough to be stuck here, give it a try. It is fast and you don't have to leave the building.

Twisted Cuisine - Kenosha, WI
We ate here a couple times after they first opened. We enjoyed our first visit, but the second visit was not good and we decided to cross Twisted Cuisine off our list.
Then last week I read an article about their new chef and we decided to give it another try. There are more entress then there were previously, so we were off to a good start.
We were offered a drink as soon as we were seated. Another good sign! They have very generous wine pours and some quality brands of wine.
We started with the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. The mushroom caps were huge and stuffed with crab, garlic, cheese and breadcrumbs. They were very good.
Each entree comes with a choice of soup or salad. I had the salad, which was your typical garden salad. My husband had the soup, which was a squash soup. He asked before ordering if it had cream. He was told no, but I suspect that was not right. It was very good though.
I ordered the Wild Mushroom Risotto for my main course, which was good. My husband ordered the "Catch of the Day", which was flounder. The menu stated that it could be prepared grilled, sauteed or blackened. He ordered it sauteed. The server then came back and said it could not be prepared that way, it was stuffed with rice. Then she came back and said they were very confused, now he could have it sauteed. It made us think that it was not fresh, but frozen and they really didn't know what they had in their freezer. Not that we really believed the catch of the day would be fresh, but one could hope. Despite the fishy smell, it actually tasted pretty good.
Overall, we were very pleased with the food and experience, especially for the price. We will definitely go back. I think they have their act together.
