It's definitely a college dining hall, mostly freshmen and sophomores and a lot of on-campus residents. However, there are a lot of older students and staff members that eat there as well and you can also bring guests with you if you have guest passes on your FSU dining Plan or if they pay full price they can come eat with you at any time. So it's not just a bunch of youngsters. The food is very well balanced, and they offer a complete allergen-free menu that is prepared in a separate part of the kitchen so they don't accidentally mix it with any of the eight main known allergens. The desserts are good. The staff is fantastic. And if there's something that you want that they don't have, they accommodate you and are happy to make it for you within reason. I'm glad that I got a dining plan for at least one semester as a student at FSU. I am a mature student returning to college after 25 years out of school, but it's super convenient to be able to eat on campus before or after classes or even on the weekends at specific places. Make sure you are clear on where you can use your FSU card because it is limited to restaurants that are on campus and you can't use it at those same restaurants off of Campus. It is very pricey for convenience and, as always, convenience costs. All in all, it is a positive experience with a great student atmosphere and good balance meals. And I'm sure designed to make parents feel comfortable leaving their children at this college and going back home without them knowing that they are going to have decent meals while they are away from home...
Read moreHonestly go here because I just don't have the time to cook. Legitimately. That being said, the foods alright, most of their machines are out of order all of the time. Drinks are constantly out, it's annoying. But I guess it's a buffet
Update: no idea what's happened, nothing is properly cooked. The cooked vegetables are constantly just warm and hard. They make their own pickles which they dip in vinegar then put out. It used to be so much better but it's nasty. Everything is so inconsistent. The pizza will be half an inch thick, then the next one is a millimeter thick and also they forgot sauce, and also half of it is just crust. Just weird.
They've added more seating. But there is not room for it and the room that they do have left isn't used. It's so hard to walk around and regardless of where you sit you will constantly be hit by people...
Read moreIn comparisons with other university cafeterias I have visited Suwannee is the best. Food quality and cleanliness beat out other campuses. Decent selection of food choices with the standard pizza, burgers, deli, salad, soup dessert stations. They have a home cook, chef's table and vegan stations that change their menu daily. The vibe and interior architecture is really cool. If you look up it a really nice wood arch ceilings that my kids describe as Hogwarts like. The staff is a mix bag. The front cashier's are really friendly and chat up the students but the food staff are hit and miss in terms of service, quickness and personality. Overall, I like it and try to make this a stop at my visits to make sure we are getting out money's worth for the kids. For $10 all you can eat it's not a bad option especially if you...
