Vista Grande Dining Complex — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

Today I got the new grilled fish tacos from Streats for $11!! These two tacos that I received could fight for their spot in the Guinness world record book for the smallest tacos in the world! Luckily they gave me half a trey of cold rice to go with it!! Every single time I go into Vista Grande expecting to try something new and exciting I am always unsurprisingly disappointed. The fact that Brunch is the only place that is open every morning until around 1030-11 is absolutely astonishing to me because the food served their seems to be the same food that is served to the ag department animals (even they refuse to eat it). The chicken from every place on campus is not real chicken and is some sort of rubber/plastic hybrid that we are told is ok to eat. God forbid somebody have class until 9 any day of the week because all of the dinning halls close extremely early so you cannot get anything to eat past 9. Please don’t get me started on Nosh because I have never once seen or heard of anybody ordering from that place and yet they still will not change the menu. I’m sure this is so the school can say that they meet some sort of healthy requirement, but it doesn’t matter when nobody has ever ordered from there nor have they looked at the horrific menu that place...

Part of the Cal Poly SLO Dining system. The Sage restaurant, now known as the Vista Grande Restaurant, serves the best food in campus. Where most everything else is set-up with fast-food like service, this venue serves it's food service as if it were a dine in restaurant. The food is actually descent (something to be said for CP SLO Dining) however the service is terrible. Most students find themselves waiting anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour just to get seated during regular meal times (6:30 - 8:00)! Then it could be another 30 min before your waitress takes your order. They do take PLU$ Dollars, though, which makes up for most everything except that they expect every patron to pay a tip with real money...

Most of the food sucks but some of it is decent. From Balance I have received both pretty good tri tip and a chicken so overdone that my fork broke while trying to stab meat (not bone). Streats got rid of their best menu item (Grilled Short Rib Mac & Cheese Sandwich) and replaced it with a fake cheese tasting mediocre mac and cheese. Hearth is okay. Brunch is pretty good but often serves watery eggs. Sweets is goated....
