food is overpriced and lacks variety. It’s also frustrating that they close so early, especially with a mandatory meal plan. Some staff can be overly familiar—commenting on food choices or watching too closely—and I’ve noticed inconsistent treatment, like unprompted discounts for select customers. Overall, the experience could be more consistent and respectful!

Disgusting pizza and terrible cafeteria food. Closes way too early. University is a grift and the fake 50% off meal plan system solidified it for me. No one should be paying restaurant price for any of this garbage. The 50% off discount is a sham. You pay3000$ dollars and receive 1500$ in meal plan balance (the rest going to service fees) with a faux 50% off discount. They make the system convoluted to confuse people. At the end of the year they remove the 50% off discount so you just lose half your money. Eye opening experience, hated every second of it.

Nothing is bad and the workers are very polite.

Although you ask three times to the server to have fresh French fries, as you saw old French fries sitting there for a while, the server decides that they are all the same and refuses to serve the fresh French fries making sure to take the bottom of the pan.

Nice people and service. However, I wish there were more options :( They have juicy grilled cheese.

Fast, cheap, good food. Easy to figure out, they have plenty of options as far as what you would like to eat. Hours could be a little bit better (open later) but other than that, easy and painless dining experience.

Terrible food, over priced even with a student discount, spent 2 semesters having this as my primary meals choice and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy

The worst eating experience in Canada. Food is super expensive, the taste is other side of Michelin three stars. Can I give zero in Google Reviews?
Umm... I don't attend UVIC, but I have eaten here twice, and got an upset stomach each time. Wouldn't recommend the grill. Prices are disgustingly high, like robbery. Ex. Almost $5 for a muffin from the freezer??? I feel bad for the students that have to eat here. Wouldn't be surprised if someone pukes or has diarrhea in the cafeteria from the food one day, if it hasn't already happened

Ridiculously expensive for basically nothing

It’s fine, definitely not the best food, not the worst.

Scam, university loves money. 5 bucks for a bowl of white rice.

Echoing what everyone else has already said but the food is not great. The options what you would expect (burgers, pizza, chicken strips, salad, etc) and the best spots (asian station, deli, etc) have restricted hours. I've had to convince myself that I'm at least getting a better deal using the OneCard (-50%) but even then the food just isn't worth the price. I will say the staff are INCREDIBLE. I think I would get a little sick of having to deal with college kids all day long, but they have always had an amazing attitude and been super helpful and kind. They are the only reason this isnt a one star review. If you're a member of staff seeing this: we love you 🫶🫶
Worst food one can ever find in BC.
