Howard Ferguson Dining Hall — Restaurant in Toronto

As a student, I was forced into a $2000, compulsory meal plan to last me 4 months. It is/was incredibly expensive-and the amount paid for each meal did not speak for the quality, or the quantity of the food at all. The fries and side dishes were drenched in grease, the salads + pastries were stale and kept out all day, exposed to germs and oxidation. Salads had cross contamination with dairy, eggs and gluten 24/7.

Also no biodegradable/plastic free options for utensils and carry...

Apparently it's inspired my "Chef Dan's recipe from the old country." It's disgusting. Wouldn't let me watch the hurling. I also find it really weird that "Mr Barry" from the nearby Graduate House us allowed to enforce his "no shoes, no socks" policy. Is this in place all over U of T? They wouldn't let me watch the hurling. Bike got stolen from the kitchen as...

Overpriced, inconvenient hours of operation, you get sick of the food by 2nd semester. To be fair, a lot of it is quite good but definitely not worth the price. Most of the staff is quite nice to talk to, but there are staff that are quite nasty towards customers. The waffles on weekends are awesome. Not enough vegan/vegetarian options most days. Unless you want to eat salad all...
