Food Critique

The food at Lander Hall (Local Point) may be mediocre, but it is still better than most of the food items found in your high school cafeteria. This report of the food at Lander Hall’s cafeteria covers three topics: the taste of food, dietary freedom, and the services offered.

The taste of the food at Local Point is average. It is better than most of the food at high schools and several other restaurants. Although there are different options, the taste of the food is usually the same, which is good. I wish that there were more options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also wish there was more seasoning in the food. Overall, the food is good, but needs more flavor.

The dietary freedom offered at Local Point was sometimes a challenge. There are no labels on any of the items. It is crucial for people with dietary restrictions to have a clean environment where their food is prepared and labeled. The staff was quite friendly, but didn’t know a lot about allergies. This is a huge problem as one mistake could end with disastrous consequences. The staff should be well versed in all allergies to answer any questions people may have about the food that is served. Just like there is a selection of foods for vegetarians, there should be more options for people with dietary restrictions.

Lander Hall might not have the best food or dietary options, but their service was good. Whenever I walked into Lander Hall and paid for my meal, the person working the station always slid my card with a smile and asked me how I was. Also, the workers are quick to refill anything that is out and are happy to help when asked.

Overall the food and the dietary options were not the best, but what do you expect? This is all you can eat for under twenty dollars in a college dining hall. Maybe we are judging Local Point too hard, but they are just our honest opinions.
