I have had a very good experience with 8th street so far. The food is quite enjoyable, though its highlights are split between the vast salad bar and the unique, varied, and delectable pastries. If you aren't willing to eat some veggies, you're going to be a bit more disappointed. They do have burgers, fries, hotdogs, and whatnot but those greasy fast-food options are rather limited. Most complex Pizza toppings you're getting are some chicken. Though you can work with what is around you. The service there is very lovely.
For staying fit, or occasionally splurging it is a very attractive option. Even if you don't like what the specials for the salad bar, you can always make yourself a nice sandwich with what is available.
The atmosphere isn't the point of the kitchen though. It's meant to feed a good portion of a college, not be a fine dining restaurant. Not any nice and isolated seats for you? You're just going to have to ask a stranger if you can eat next to them.
That said, the place is fairly clean, I have not seen a single bug in my several days of repeated visits, and the only spots that might be slightly dirty are the tables, where there may be a stray lettuce on the rare occasion. No stains or splotches of disgusting sauce anywhere.
The music might be a tad loud for me. I like to keep my ears healthy. I'd maybe turn it down 3-5%. It can make it a little difficult to converse. Though the music is only on in the evening from what I've seen.
My main complaint though is there is nowhere to wash your hands. I get not having bathrooms in 8th street and instead having it right outside the restaurant, but I would like to have somewhere to wash my hands. There's also a sign that says to wash the fruits, even though staff wash them, but I can't find where to wash them.
All said and done, I am more than satisfied with the utilitarian purpose 8th street sets out with to equip FIU students with convenient healthy food.

Took them over 30 minutes to make a simple burger, didn’t even have lettuce or pickles.

So the food itself isn’t terrible, however the way the school enforces their meal plans is ridiculous. I wanted to change my meal plan for the upcoming semester and the school would not let me. I wanted less meals, but I cannot lower my meal plan. However, you CAN raise how many meals you want a week.

good meals sometimes, we are rated very high in food quality so it makes me ponder about other schools food situation… however they cancelled my meal plan for no reason. the waffles are my favorite.

Food is great for price. Only people that complain are poor and bougie.

The food wasn't nearly as bad as I initially thought it would be. The fries, green beans, and mac and cheese were good, but not great. The only issue is that the place would become absolutely packed on a weekday at lunchtime. FIU seriously needs a second dining hall to relieve crowding, but it would still be worth waiting for an open table.

The workers literally ignore you and take unnecessary time pretending to do something to waste your time

Simply the greatest place ever for so many delicious reasons. ? (The soft-ice cream machine is next to the coffee so you can put ? in the ☕.!!!)
Vegan options are great the music is annoying though. Wished the hall was cleaned a lot more.

Good food and the director is a good woman who responds to complaints of the customer promptly. God bless FIU.
Turn down the music. I'm trying to eat not get a perforated ear drum.
