I don't blame the staff of the dining hall in the slightest. At the beginning of the year, the food was pretty decent. Repetitive but decent. After winter semester though... UBC or whomever, cut the dining hall's budget, and we got this. Goop and slop on a plate. I've seen raw chicken and raw pork, rotten veggies, and food still being frozen on the inside. Salad options are kinda limited and as someone with a bunch of sensitive, Pritchard serving fried foods 6 days out of the week was not appreciated. Food highlights: garlic bread, all of the wraps in order of best to worse (chicken bacon ranch, Caesar salad, hot honey, donair). Donair one is fine but gets boring very quickly and kinda flavourless. Least I can eat it. The fresh juice that they brought in sometimes was really tasty. Eggs are pretty good (the fresh ones, not the powdered ones). Ramen is pretty good but got boring. Sushi bowl started strong but idk, quality started to dip in second semester. Food shames: Southwest salad (is it a salad or a chilli, cmon bro), pizza with pineapple (doesn't taste good), butter chicken poutine?? (It's one or the other, didn't taste good combined, wasn't even actual gravy). The powdered eggs? How are they raw and overcooked at the same time. The tostada (was gross). Breakfast bowl is also slop. Again, don't blame the dining hall staff, they had nothing to do with the food quality and are trying their best to make do on a tight budget. Their employer unfortunately fired a bunch of the people in charge and in charge of food quality so... it's to be expected. Also make breakfast longer, nobody wants a pizza at 10:30am. read more

It is very bland and pretty dry. People are paying thousands of dollars for this food and it's not even really that edible or flavorful. I am so thankful to not be on the meal plan because when we got three free days I was already sick of it. People complain all the time because despite paying so much you aren't allowed to bring out food and it has limited hours. It has a one week rotation. The breakfast was good at first honestly. Less so now. read more

Absolutely atrocious. I don't even know where to begin with this review. The disgusting food, the lack of options and effort to cooking, or the ridiculous price for eating. The food is honestly inedible, sour expired tasting and smelling yogurt, cheeseburgers smothered in apricot jelly and mustard, "potatoes" that look like they were dropped in the crack between a car seat and center console and left to rot. Your choices of "good" or "decent" food are far and few between. The cooks constantly serve and cook food without any use of gloves, and when they do they will go from touching and using their phone straight to grabbing food with their hand to serve. The fact that this dinning hall is required for first year students is astonishing. read more

Yelp asked "whats in this photo?" And if you're asking me I have no more of a clue than you do. The hall labels it as a "tropical chicken sandwich" whatever that's supposed to mean. The "chicken" is covered in a peanut butter sauce and mayo. The buns are still cold and semi frozen and the sandwich reeks of a smell I can't place. Down right disgusting and ridiculous that this meal plan is required for the first year students attending. The tables are constantly dirty and never cleaned and the entire dining hall constantly reeks of unnamed smells. Eating here has on numerous occasions given me food poising. Surely worth all $3500 CAD that students are forced to pay as a first year in housing. Disgraceful that this is the best food that a "prestigious" "top 5" school in the world can present for its students. I wish that I was exaggerating in this review but what you see is what you get, or in this case eat. It's down right ludicrous that this is the only location that students can spend their "unlimited" meal plan. Higher ups should intervene. read more
