Owens Food Court — Attraction in Blacksburg

I don’t often come to Owen’s, but when I do it’s usually a Variabowl. They’re inexpensive and pretty healthy. However, those can be a bit of a hit-or-miss. Sometimes the bowl is made really well, and other times it’s messy and also soggy. My favorites would be the Thai and Mediterranean bowls. Indian and Korean are still solid though.

I’ve had Wǎn once, and I didn’t like it cause it was very much not authentic Asian food. I’ve had Tazon a few times and they’re pretty solid. I’ve also heard Frank’s sandwiches are great, I’ve just never gotten the chance to try one.

I do like the eating area though. There’s a lot of space and it’s pretty clean...

Best dining hall this campus has to offer (that says a lot!) I like to get a sandwich, salad, and smoothie combination when I go. Also is convenient to be able to get chickfila or pizza on the other side of the building. Loses a star because it is extremely expensive without a meal plan! Hopefully that price will change with the additional tuition from the 1500 student increase in freshman class...

I'm sure this place would be a lot better without COVID or if this place wasn't so hyped up, but it's just average to subpar food. There's lots of selections but they're all just...meh and get tiring very quickly. Also, approach Tazon and Wan with caution. I very rarely get sick from food because I've lived in China where food standards are less strict, but I STILL managed to get sick from...
