“I hear a lot of people complaining about the food, but as an adult whose holding down a college student and all kinds of other adult responsibilities, free works. Free makes the taste much more bearable. Not that you have to hold your nose and swollow--it's really not bad. One day, the chef prepared fried turkey cutlets; they were actually very tasty. The fried chicken, collard greens, mac & cheese and mashed potatoes are also very good. Caveat: I am here working on a temporary summer assignment, and all accommodations were included in the arrangements. Free food should not be expected on normal terms!“
“hey yelp!today, i'm going to be reviewing one of drexel university's dining halls, urban eatery. the other dining hall, hans, is also review- worthy. however, i have spent the most time here, and have the most passion towards it.tl;dr- mid af, but the memories are litfirst, the atmosphere is nice. the front area seating has giant windows that makes the place super airy and bright. when i'm alone and doing homework, i really like sitting in the small booths (near the walkway/ entrance). when i'm with my friends, i like to sit in the group tables (near the soda dispensers/ sandwich bars / fruits). the other seating options in the back are okay. we call the seating area near the bathrooms "the dungeon." these areas don't have big, bright windows, but they are a great secondary option for when we want to have a more isolated and intimate meal.the food isn't spectacular, but it also isn't the worst. it's hit or miss. as a precautionary measure for our taste buds, we typically end up serving ourselves an excess amount of food because we know that half of it will end up tasting bad. that half normally ends up as waste :(the worst experiences i've personally had include uncooked chicken and horrendously bland mashed potatoes (no matter how much salt/ seasoning i added, it was unsavable). my daily go-to meal is a sandwich from the sandwich bar. i normally get white bread, regular mayo, pepper jack cheese, roast beef, lettuce, and tomatoes. sometimes the toasted sandwich gets stuck to the parchment paper, which is super annoying, but it's still really good.the ignite station is yummy. you can personalize your order, and watch someone cook it! i like to get the quesadillas and pasta from there.sometimes, they serve chicken nuggets. and it's honestly the best thing ever. it tastes exactly like mcdonald's.their vegan section is good. i'm not a vegan, so i'm not the best person to judge, but i like their little ravioli things.their fries are also really really good.their ice creams are also really really good.the people who work there sometimes scare me (LMAO), but for the most part, they are awesome. the people at the front, where you swipe your card, are kind and they always say hello. the chefs at the sandwich bar or ignite bar are pretty meticulous and efficient when preparing the food. the people who also clean up/ set up are also very nice and always on top of it. good service all around.i want to thank urban eatery for all the memories. i can recall countless times when my friends and i would stay here and hang out for 4+ hours. we've talked about everything ranging from our classes to our crushes here. we've spilled both literal and metaphorical tea here. we've shared some of our funniest memories here. i would laugh so hard here, to the point where my cheeks hurt, and i literally couldn't breathe. i'm sure many other students can agree with me, or say something similar about this place--that this was where many of their friendships grew. freshman year, although somewhat academically bland and unrigorous, was difficult for many. i, personally, had a hard time moving across the country, and adjusting to the change. so to have this place, where we could all take a break, forget about our troubles for a bit and talk with our friends, was really nice. although i constantly complained about the place, i will always look back on it fondly. ..that's not to say i'm unhappy to be off the meal plan though. i'm done with this place, and i'm never returning! thank god.“
“First, I had the teriyaki salmon sandwich, and the veggie pizza, and the entire meal was great. It also took me by shock of the variety of foods you could try. Not to mention, the Cafe was immaculate. But, the best for last was the atmosphere. That there were so many little things that were interesting to the eye, and the music makes you feel better.“
“Until today, 3/24/2024, I was very happy and I was a recurring customer, but I went to look for breakfast and a girl who was in the box (I don't know if she was Dominican) but I spent more than 20 minutes in front of her with my mother and I never took my order, a short lady served me the coffee and from waiting so long it even got cold, in the end I returned the coffee and left very upset for not having been attended to and treated like a zero to the left by this young woman. As a customer I am tolerant but today I felt very bad and I will think twice before returning or recommending. How awful.“
“I've had a consistently positive experience using the Amazon locker at this location. The staff deserves special mention for their proficiency, kindness, and patience. Both receiving items and processing returns have been seamless experiences. Wonderful service.“
