Restaurants near University Center

“This is a small restaurant in the food court of a university so, it is rather small with a somewhat limited selection of food. It is also somewhat pricey, but not overly so. If you need a quick bite this is the place to go.”

“Absolutely my favorite coffee shop! All the staff are genuinely so nice, the coffee is good, and the atmosphere is great! I highly recommend! :)”

“great place to just hang out. They have comfy chairs and great atmosphere. Great drinks and friendly staff too. They even have a game station with classic Nintendo games loaded and a chess board.”

“Stopped in today for lunch. I ordered the Green Curry with chicken and an iced Thai coffee. The service was was quick and friendly. The coffee was rich and refreshing. The Green Curry was excellent. The vegetables were crisp, fresh and the flavor was spot on. I ordered it “hot” and although quite good, I think it was more “American” hot than traditional hot. Next time I’ll get it extra hot. Lol Still a small, quiet and relaxing place to go like it was during the Jade Garden days. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend.”

“Awesome place!! Will definitely be back. Nice to see my old Comet and Gladiator in there. Awesome lineup of pinball new and old. Great selection of games.”

“Service was excellent, View was beautiful and the food was amazing.”

“Great hometown urban feel,. Definitely a locals favorite. Gilly and Diana will have you feeling like family.”

“Bay City’s finest hidden gem. Have yet to order something that’s not absolutely amazing from here. My favorite by far is the birria, whether it’s in taco or quesadilla style, they know how to cook it and make it so delicious. The quesabirria is HUGE and stuffed SO MUCH. Wish they’d cut it though because trying to eat it was a little difficult. Don’t let this scare you away, however, as we order take out and I’ve only ordered the quesabirria once so far, so it may actually come pre-cut and I just got unlucky with mine.

Highly, highly recommend!”

“Pleasant welcoming wait staff, marvelous food”

“New favorite eater's be back soon no doubt”

“Ordered sampler and quesobirria. everything I tried on the sampler was excellent and the consumme was the best I've had to date. I'm sad it took this long to give them a try.”

“Fantastic Food”

“We stopped in for ice cream on our way home from a trip and it exceeded our expectations! The ice cream was perfect. It was the best I’ve ever had! The homemade waffle cone was amazing and the bubble cone was nothing like we’ve ever had! Not to mention, the facility was clean and the service was great! I wish we lived closer because this place would be our regular go-to for ice cream.”

“Great food. Great service. Tyler was awesome!”

“Absolutely delicious!! I’ve looked at the sign before and wondered what kind of food was there (I remember when it used to be the Texan) but never stopped. Today I got decided to give it a try and I couldn’t believe how delicious my chicken wrap and french fries were! I’ll definitely spread the word! Everything had so much flavor (even the fries) and the veggies inside the wrap were fresh and crisp. Hats off to the owner and the gentleman who prepared the food!”

“the best dirty iced chai I’ve ever, ever had!”

“well I finally tried it. I have heard good things. But some babies think it's over priced. My thoughts on that you are just cheap. I bought 1 cookie $3.00 a super bargain. Get 3 cookies somewhere it will cost at least $3.00 and they will suck. My one cookie at Heidi's was huge. bigger then 3 cookies anywhere. I am not gonna eat dinner I am full. Thanks and great Job darn good Cookie.”

“Got a pesto flatbread and split it with my girlfriend, we also had a cookie croissant and it was delicious the flat bread easily fed two people and it only costs $7.99.”

“Bakery items the Best in Saginaw. Everything is delicious! Wish the little woman would wear a hair net! None of them wear hair nets! Such a gross thing to find hair in your tamales!!! Had to throw them out”
