For a dining hall location on UCF the price is fair, the food is fair and the atmosphere is okay. The staff are super friendly and nice and there is plenty of dietary options available for people as a whole. Overall the food could use some work but it is not the worst of the worst. Definitely check to make sure some proteins are cooked fully as students are the ones cooking and distributing the food as well. I recommend if you are a first year UCF student having a meal plan to check out this location at least once.

Terrible food, half the time it isnt edible, today i got given an omelette that wasn't cooked through, RAW EGG got put on stove top for about a minute then handed to me, still runny barely warm. Not worth meal plan price at all

Food's bad. I get it's the student cafeteria and while it has never been 5-star dining, the food 10-20 years ago did used to be better and they used to have way more selection. Also during dinner and lunch time it used to be full of students. Now it's a rare sight to see more than five tables occupied. It's pretty obvious this is one of the many things UCF has neglected in favor of funneling more money towards sports teams.

Don’t be fooled, it is amazing the first few months of school. Then, slowly they begin to disappoint you more and more. I’m a month into the second semester, nothing is ever restocked, the food is mostly kinda ass, and the service has gone down down down. I’m paying $1600 for this meal plan. I’m TIRED. 63, do better.

Food quality itself is pretty good all things considering. Very few food options on weekends. The online menu says they have stuff they don't, drink machines are never filled. And the staff are all visa workers that don't speak English. (Have to repeat myself multiple times, called squash potatoes, etc.) Why isn't the university hiring students??

super dry sausage that came out after 30 min of sitting there. They didn’t have a toaster, they didn’t have a waffle maker, the ice cream machine is still broken. horrible

It’s buffet at the most basic, the food is very hit or miss. Most of the meats are dry and much lacks seasoning. The staff are good and there’s always a meal or two that isn’t bad and rarely one that’s good. If your a student your not gonna starve but it ain’t your moms home cooking.

This place is rough, I have had undercooked chicken here which is my biggest worry about it. Also, food here is often cold and not very well prepared. It is all you can eat which is nice but often times you'll find you won't want to eat all that much from here.
Vegetarian options: They are sure to always have options available but often times only one or two options a day plus the salad bar.
Dietary restrictions: They do have most dietary replacements whether that be for gluten, dairy, or others.
There was a wide range of choices with a decent salad, food, and sides with a reasonable price.

Don't eat here unless absolutely necessary. Do not purchase a meal plan if you live in academic village area. Here's my opinions,
Food: The food is actually pretty good if you get the right stuff. The biggest problem with this is the best stuff shows up for a day and then isn't there again until the next week. Burgers are like whoppers, pizza is like highschool pizza, and chicken nuggets taste like McDonald's.
Crowds: DONT eat here for dinner. Lines take forever due to lack of quality service and bad management. Half of the restaurant is closed off for seating during busy times but not during quiet times?? 3/4 of the food is served by staff, in which staff can disappear for a while and you can't get the food you want. The only times this isn't an issue is on weekends and around 1 for lunch.
Dishes will run out, silverware will run out, deserts will run out. Silverware is dirty, sauces will rub out and won't be refilled for 2 days. This place is not worth the hassle of spending 2 thousand on a dining plan that I can barely use due to these reasons. If you want to cancel your dining plan, good luck doing it without fighting tooth and nail and still paying the 200 dollar fee. The only thing keeping this at 2 stars is the weekly foods that actually have good flavor and don't taste old.

Fairly good place for students. The selection is decent and it’s good to stop by. I went for breakfast. It’s fairly crowded and then in the summer they were closed when I tried to go. Waffles are good and the have an omelette station.
