About Richardson Court Marketplace

Richardson Court Marketplace, located on the east side of campus, primarily offers fried food and a variety of desserts that are often the same. The dining hall has a reputation for long lines, with wait times of about 10-15 minutes when good food is available. In the mornings, loud music can be slightly annoying. The food at Seasons, which is nearby, is generally more consistent and includes greens and Italian portions, but it can sometimes be undercooked and served lazily. Service quality varies and has been reported as inconsistent, with some food not meeting expectations. While not necessarily bad, Richardson Court Marketplace is considered the weakest among the campus dining options, especially on weekends. Some students prefer other locations like Union Drive Marketplace, Convos, or Friley Windows, which offer better selection and quality. Overall, Richardson Court serves as a last resort when other options are not convenient or available.
