So Many Choices!

On campus, there are so many choices to eat! Whether you have an affordable meal plan, or just catching up with friends on Monarch Way, the food was never disappointing. There were even options other than dining halls that took flex points and meal plans making a much wider variety of foods to choose from.

Old Dominon Dining

There are less then 6 place where you can use your meal swipes on campus. The web which is open from seven am to 9 pm and available at all times. Then were are 2 dining hall that hours of operation vary. The menu varies each day. The food is good but not great. Flex points are excepted at chik-fila, Quiznos, Starbucks and this chicken place called Canes. Canes is the popular place to eat here on campus. Flex points go away quickly on this campus, especially if you go to Canes a lot. I personally don't eat at the cafe very often so I have a lot of swipes to get rid of by the end of the semester. Overall I would rate the food a B-.

Roaches/bugs everywhere. Terrible food. Racist Staff

Legends cafeteria is supposed to be the best cafe on campus, as it is located in Whitehurst dorm, where the athletes live. Well, lets start off with the bugs first. The salad and fruit bars are CONSTANTLY surrounded by tons of fruit flies and gnats, so its an automatic no go for there. The other day, I saw a cockroach just chilling on the clean plates that students pick up to get their food. Getting a little off topic here, I've seen about 6 roaches in the past 2 days, ranging from my friends room, to the cafeteria, to the halls, and the common rooms. The staff of Legends is racist. To start off, the staff is ENTIRELY made up of black individuals. The same black male usually is at the main meat section, and always has an attitude towards any non black person. He shuffles through the food to pick out the worst piece he can find for people, and then throws it on your plate. I stood next to his serving area for about 10 minutes one time. Anytime a black male or female of any gender was in line, he would smile and give out a nice piece of meat, when a male of any race besides black was next, the same negative attitude. Now finally, lets talk about the food. No. Period. They have friend chicken patties almost everyday, and when there are no chicken patties, expect something else made out of chicken. Occasionally there will be some sort of other meat, but it is ALWAYS low quality and most made up of the fatty portions. They also usually have this type of fake meat that they call "riblets" to try and fool students that it is a sort of prime rib, but instead it tastes like processed meatloaf. The juice station is almost always out, and they dont refill it for days. The milk station is USUALLY stocked, but about 20% of the time you will drink expired milk, as not many people drink milk and they leave it for days and days. Like I said in the beginning of this review, Legends cafeteria is made strictly for atheletes, so unless you want your child to die either from food poisoning or some sort of roach afflicted disease, make sure they never go here.
