This is the only place to eat on the south side of campus that said there are 4 different places to check out in the Blue Connection. There is also a large seating area making it the perfect place to chill out between classes. There is also a fire place for those cold winter days and outside seating for the hot summer afternoons.
Great food. Very kind and accommodating employees. Nice variety. Love Late night ????
Very nice place to casually study alone or with friends, or to grab a snack/meal between classes.
Definitely better than Kleiner, and about on par with Crave. A little better than Kirkhof's basement, but that's subjective. One of the best places for food on campus.
They have a decent selection of foods between Engrained and P.O.D.. The sandwiches and Late Night at Engrained are consistently the best tasting. The (apparently) legendary Laker Bowl was too salty for my tastes, but everything else is pretty good for an on-campus, non-big-chain restaurant. Engrained likes to use barbeque sauce in a lot of their dishes, and it works well.
They have enough seating for everyone, you shouldn't have an issue in that department. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing, but also decent for studying.
Be somewhat careful when ordering prepared food from P.O.D. later in the evening, in my experience the availability and quality of the food drops off. Moral of the story, go for Late Night instead of P.O.D. if it's available.
Best/most varied place to eat on campus that uses meal swipes. Laker bowls are dope. Late night is bad for my health, but good for my soul.
Would maybe get 5 stars (relative to other places on campus) if the steak dinner wasn't always overcooked.
