Downunder Cafe

Where do I even begin. The food here ranges from completely inedible dogfood to low-end high school cafeteria food. The quality of the food is also incredibly low and cheap as the whole place is just trying to generate profit, without regard for flavor nor presentation. The employees all look like they’re at their wits end and the atmosphere all depends on whatever the entry worker is playing on the aux (It is mostly just Tik Tok schlock). Not to mention the service of the made to order restaurants is terrible. If food is ordered within 15-20 minutes of closing, the employees will straight up disregard it and not make the order. In short, if you are planning on attending UNR, plan on eating the worst food you will ever consume for the rest of your adult life. This place sucks. Thank you

The place is nice to hangout with friends but the service suck a piece of meat fell off in the floor and the worker put it back instead of throwing it away and you food poison. They also force you to buy the meal plan instead of choosing where you want to eat could be restruants or grocery. The school should be sued for forcing meal plans on others.

Food is either somewhat decent or just borderline inconsumable on any given day with no consistency. You can tell the food is the cheapest they could find and is prepared with little care, even when the food tastes ok the presentation always looks deappetizing. The hours are awful, once it closes at 8 pm good luck trying to find food on campus. The only saving grace is being able to get meal trades and having food bucks so you can eat anywhere that isn’t here. On Saturdays your screwed as the down under is all that is open. Pray for your stomach?

My son is currently a freshman at UNR and I wanted to give the cooks and other staff a shout out in a positive light. Every day he loves the food so much. I have been meaning to write this review since august 2023. He loves the desserts, pastas, selections of veggies and every type of meat dish he has he says is amazing. Thank you to all who work here to keep my kid full…he’s a food guy so a good meal matters. Thank you for keeping his belly full!

It blew up lmao

Many kinds of food available here with nice view. Customer has two choices: eating there or two containers to go

It blew up. Good.

I stayed at the dorms for a year. The food was so unappealing that I was able to lose 30 pounds that year no problem. The only thing that is consistent there is the coffee and the desserts which are supplied by Sysco. Everyone who worked there looked depressed working there. The chef seems like a nice guy and I understand that have profits in mind and thats all they seem to care about. But it's not that hard to make better tasting food with what they have with a little care. They're making a killing off of people forced to eat there (all the people in the dorms under 21 have to purchase a meal plan). Do not trust the salad bar chicken unless you build an immunity to it. If you do decide to eat here for some awful reason under your freewill, don't. If you really hate your SO take them here. If you're forced to eat here, you might as well lose a few pounds *trying* to eat here. Get the lowest price meal plan, use all your foodbucks, and use a takeout box to take as much as you can fit to stretch your meal if you need

Tasting like cardboard! Food poisoning! Frozen meat! Questionable quality! By our powers combined, we are the Downunder Cafe!
