There is a Dominican man who goes there every morning, lies on the big tables, drinks all the coffee, eats all the baked potatoes, and the sausage. Other than that, this place is great.

Freeman is beautiful. The food is a lot healthier and fresher than the food in Sam’s place, and the teaching kitchen is nice if you want to cook something of your own. However, the food is hit or miss, and the burgers can get repetitive.
My only complaint is the service. The staff is very nice, but there is one woman who wipes the tables and mops that has been unnecessarily rude to me and others on multiple occasions. She wipes the tables and doesn’t care if your belongings are in the way or if you’re eating. There was an incident where I had to return my dishes after eating and she was mopping the floor in that area, and I deeply apologized for stepping on the area she mopped as I put my plates in the dish return and she says “Sorry doesn’t do anything.” I think she is extremely rude.
Otherwise, I like it. Much better than sam’s place.

I can't really comment on the other areas because I didn't have any of the food so I can't rate for the service either. I was for a different matter my husband works there,but from what I've seen it was very nice looking and very clean. And hospitality was good from friendly greeting from the staff members as well.

Service is bad. Every time I come here someone steals my food because the kitchen workers don’t care. Food is the best on campus but their drink machines give you hot Powerade.

At the moment you step in this restaurant the personel give you a nice feeling. Very hospitable team, it is a good restaurant to pass time with friends and colleagues or with your date. Excellent meals, skillful chief cook and stuff, modest cost and courteous service. Highly recommended.

I get to eat here a lot since I work close by. I have to say their customer service is always awesome and they keep the place well kept at all times. Prices are reasonable and they serve sizeable portions.
Doesn't have any "produce beetles."
Nice place to grab a bite to eat
I tried this spot once with a friend and I am hooked ever since. I liked the good ambience and fresh dishes and drinks. I recommend this place.
