Campus Dining Services

The food is significantly better than what is available at west campus

Honestly some of these reviews make me laugh. I am a commuter student but I eat on campus daily. I've been in dining enough to know if the dining halls are dirty it's because students go in and make a mess (spills, food on table, floors, broken plates, utensils on floors etc) Every few minutes you see the staff cleaning up that stuff. And generally the dining is pretty clean. There are 2 dining options (East & West). East also has 6 retail options, Jasmine 5, Roth 3, GLS 1. There is also the SAC. If you are tired of the food in one location you can literally go to the next. You are not forced to eat at the same place everyday. Each food location is unique. For about $10. per meal that's good. It's not the ritz but I can say the food is better than a lot of places on the island and I can't name one university with better and a larger variety of meal options for students. It caters for Caribbean, Jewish, halal, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Mexican, American and Greek cuisines.

I once had a convo with one of the chefs in Island soul about the spices as the food didn't seem as spicy as it should. He told me when you're cooking for a university not all students can handle all that spice so the food in general is tailored so that everyone can enjoy. If you need more spice you can add it to your specification.

The only critique of dining I have is the prices (Halaal is too high, higher than average) and the East Side Dining Late night sucks, avoid. If you are eating late go to West. But, in general if you're dining is that bad it's because of you. That's like going to Burger king everyday and getting upset that everyday day the menu is the same. Get outta here with that!.

There is a new Food provider at the university and it is only fair that I edit/ remove my last review.

I am very happy with the Grill in the SAC, it got even better. I have my breakfast sandwiches custom made with whatever I want and they are delicious. The guys at the grill are doing a great job. The picture attached was taken during the middle of the semester. Thanks for a great experience Culinart :-)
