Reviews

Pretty good food, not a bad selection of your on a budget, fresh made sandwiches and burgers available on demand.
A decent size salad bar with quite a few different toppings along with a selection of fresh fruit and deserts.
Though went back again for a second time because I enjoyed the food and value but the staff were very rude and disrespectful along with a very limited menu offering.
Definitely will take my business elsewhere after the rude encounter with staff and being falsely accused, when the food was already paid for with evidence to back it up.


A good restaurant for students.
When I don't get breakfast in my house and I'm on campus, I prefer to go to this restaurant than buy something in the student union because we can eat whatever we want for approximately the same price (in this case was $11 in 2022).


Really good on campus buffet.
If you plan to eat healthy but also pack down the food then you're best bet is to stick to the salad bar here as well as the hot food bar (on the far right) where the staff generally serves baked fish, chicken, and vegetables of some form with rice, or potatoes.
Also, brunch is the best time to head over to get the best of both worlds with waffles, cereal, pancakes, gator tots, and lunch foods as well.
Definitely the biggest bang for your buck on campus.
