SUU Dining Services @ Southern Utah University — Restaurant in Cedar City

Absolute Nightmare: Avoid at All Costs!

This place is a living nightmare masquerading as a restaurant. If Hell had a food court, this would be its flagship establishment. I can’t even begin to describe the horror show that is this "restaurant."

First off, the rice—oh god the rice. It's not just overcooked, it's crunchy. I don’t mean a slight crunch like a crispy crust; I mean a full-on teeth-shattering assault on your dental health. It’s like they harvested it from the bottom of a garbage heap and tried to pass it off as "authentic." Spoiler alert: it’s not.

Then there’s the food poisoning. Oh yes, the food here doesn't just disappoint your taste buds—it actively tries to kill you. I don’t know what kind of sorcery or negligence they’re practicing in the kitchen, but I’ve never been so intimately acquainted with my toilet in my entire life. One bite, and it's like your body starts plotting a revolt.

As for the noodles—rubber is an understatement. They look like they came from a factory that specializes in crafting imitation tires. There’s no flavor, no texture—just an unforgiving, bouncy mess that makes you question every life choice that led you to that moment.

And the worst part? The staff is so desperate to make you think they’re running some kind of fine dining experience, they practically suffocate you with their false enthusiasm. They serve you half-melted, sad little dishes with such confidence, you'd think you're about to experience the pinnacle of culinary greatness. In reality, it’s just a cruel joke at your expense.

Do yourself a favor—skip this place. If you’re looking for a food experience that’ll destroy your bowels and ruin your taste for life, then sure, go ahead. Otherwise, steer clear, unless you want to experience a culinary disaster of apocalyptic proportions.

One star is generous—this place deserves negative stars. Run, don’t walk, in the...

I recently attended a conference in Cedar City and these were the folks that catered the dinner. The first thing I thought when seeing the spread was why would anyone hire college home - economic students to cater a professional event? Now I don't know if the college students actually prepared the meal, but it certainly looked like it.

Most of the items served seemed to be from frozen or comercial food products. For example, the 'house salad' was nothing more than a bagged iceberg lettuce salad that has the standard shaved carotts and purple cabbage - and then the catering company added a top layer of cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes; and only one dressing choice- ranch. Just very plain and not what I would expect from a professional.

Mashed potatoes were bland. Rolls were from a bag. Corn on the cob appeared to be frozen, not fresh (did not look good so I did not eat it). Buttermilk fried chicken could have been made fresh but it was not very good and was mushy (not crispy) when served.

The chefs choice desert was a cheesecake that could have come from Costco (not saying it was but that is what it looked like) and there were a lot of uneaten portions left on the tables.

The service was good. No complaints there. But the food really needs some...

The foods are often mushy, room temperature, or stale. The decent-tasting foods tend to be the unhealthy, cheap, easy-to-cook fried options. Even then, I stopped eating the chicken fingers because once it was raw in the middle. Chic-fil-a (also on campus) is sometimes the healthier option for me, because at least the food there has never given me diarrhea. It seems that every time I go to eat here something is wrong - no forks or dirty forks, rock hard pancakes, no fruit/too mushy fruit, I get sick afterward, etc. On the weekends the hours and food options are so limited I used to only eat 1 meal per day on Saturdays and Sundays. I especially don't recommend eating here if you have any kind of dietary restrictions, digestion problems, sensory issues, or disordered...
