| - This place is pretty inconsistent. Some meals are good, but others.. I'll get to that. In general, most of the more complicated items on the menu are frozen and microwaved when you order.
Their breakfast offerings are not bad. The breakfast burrito and breakfast pizza are both pretty cheap and reasonably filling. In fairness, I have heard their grilled cheese and soup on Thursdays is good. (I haven't had it myself.)
The lunch dishes are not as good; the options change each day. The ones that are good are .. okay, and not that pricey for near campus. The ones that are bad are pretty bad.
The nachos are alright - canned pickled jalepenos, diced up tomatoes, olives, thick tortilla chips, gloppy cheese. There is a lot of it. Not bad if you have a craving, but there are better options elsewhere.
The salsa and hummus plate's not bad for a snack. Of what I have had here, I would recommend it most.
The hamburgers are gross. They taste like school cafeteria low-grade meat and have the texture of frozen sausage patties. My girlfriend's cheeseburger had a big piece of scorched .. something on top of the cheese. Mmm. The "albacore tuna with mango" sandwich is alright, but the mango is mixed in with the canned tuna, along with a lot of mayonnaise and relish. There is not much mango to be found either. (I've noticed charred bits on the breakfast sandwiches too, which is baffling considering I think they are just microwaved.)
For sides: the low-fat cottage cheese just tasted off. I have eaten a lot of cottage cheese and never had it taste like that - kinda chalky, kinda sour. My girlfriend got the pasta salad, which was a little better, but swimming in vinegar with some pepperoni plopped down into it.
Our iced tea was very opaque and did not taste very fresh. They charge for refills on soft drinks, too.
Service was alright, the kitchen guy is cheerful, but the food was unpleasant enough at my last lunch that I'm not going back. Within the same walking distance I can get to Derald's lunch truck and Espresso Royale - and I've been much happier with the food at both. Or Red Herring, or Bevier.
It is worth noting that I paid with gift certificates - none of my own money - and still felt disappointed at the cost of free.
Can't comment on the baked goods, haven't had them. What I hear is that the stuff made in house isn't great, but they get the cookies from elsewhere and they're okay.
Also, after hearing - from one of the staff - that they don't change out the coffee every day in the pots, I am knocking it down to one star. Just, don't go here except maybe for the nachos.
