Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The cafeterias on campus are located in the residence halls. If you live there, you must have a meal plan, but anyone can buy one if they want. The cafeteria food is OK, with quite a bit of repetition that gets old fast to the students at Utah. The ability to transfer meals with your food plan is a nice option, though, because you don’t have to eat every meal in the dorms.

There are two other options instead of the cafeterias, and they are the food court/restaurant-style eateries. One is located in the Business Building, and the other is known as The Point, located in the Huntsman Cancer Institute (for more information on The Point, see the off-campus restaurants section). The cafeteria at the Union Building is mediocre, but there’s a Chinese restaurant, a sandwich shop, Mexican food, and a Pizza Hut there, as well as options for vegetarians. Lots of people eat there because of its central location. There are also snack bars in the Annex and University Services Building. But if you can, pack a lunch because it's not cheap!

Good Selection, but Expensive

Almost every building on campus has some sort of cafe or coffee shop in it, and the Union has a great selection of food, the only issue is that they are extremely overpriced.

Really Not the Best

There really are only two places to eat on campus, and the one with the best food, the Student Union, closes too early for dinner. The other option is by the dorms, on the far end of campus, so it is completely useless if you don't live in the dorms. The food is also not that good, it gets very repetitive and some things are flat out gross. I'd say it's pretty expensive too for the quality of what you get.

Union Building Food

There is a wide variety of food choices here including Mexican, Chinese and Italian food. They have also recently added healthy create-your-own salad options as well.
