Food at SFU

Guest1
edited September 2008 in General
What are some good food places at SFU?

I've only ever eaten at the Maggie Benson Centre when I went up there a couple of times...

I heard from a coworker that SFU raised food prices and since you're stranded on a mountain you have no other choice but to suck it up :sad:

And I've noticed that some places aren't open all the time.... understandable, but is there some sort of schedule?? Where will I go during my breaks to satisfy my hunger?!

    Excluding the food places at MBC:
    Renaissance is pretty good if you're looking for snacks, it's open later too I think...
    Donair Town
    Himalayan Peak for their all-you-can-eat lunch
    Pizza Point for cheap eats
    Ichibankan Express is all right too

    What I've learned is to STAY AWAY from Chartwells (Mackenzie, Ravens, Simon Cs)... their food is over-priced and usually pretty crappy. And they close really early... my breaks are usually around 4 and they are always closed ! (or maybe it's just for the summer?)

    Bring food with you.

    Also, never use the vending machines, ever. There is a corner store in MBC that sells everything in vending machines way cheaper.

    I occasionally go to the pizza place at the cornerstone as well as its cheap.

    I see theres a grocery store being constructed up there which will probably have some decent stuff but thatll be a long time off.

    Most of the time i leave the mountain im starving, either that or ive paid way too much for unhealthy food.

    If price doesnt matter theres a triple o-s in AQ, and id say the food places in MBC are decent, the mr sub, and the flaming wok or whatever it is

    I only buy food up at SFU if I have too. Way too overpriced and it's honestly not even that good. Just pack your own lunch. There are microwaves around campus. Or find a friend that lives on Rez and mooch off of them.

    In short, stay the fuck away from Chartwell operated shops within the campus at all times.

    Yes, I take the 135 and it takes around 15min to get to the one on hastings (beside pizza hut).

    Alexander Mackenzie cafeteria charges 8.99 for a Hamburger with a medium sized patty and 2 shreds of lettuce.

    Don't eat there.

    Mediterranean Panini at Nature's Deli is pretty good. 2 pieces for $6.95 and you get a little bit of salad with it.

    Happened over the summer semester when rice shot up in price. That sushi is shit too.

    I pack food, I will not accept the mediocrity of the food on the campus and I'm voting with my wallet, I'm not paying for them and I hope they starve to bankruptcy, especially Chartwells.

    Mr Subs and White Spot gets a passing grade. They are decent.

    I pack food and I have to agree that we have shit places to eat. With the exception of The Ladle.

    Yeah, SFPING! How can I forget that place!? I almost thought about climbing up to my History and/or Humanities Common Room for the microwave!
