Marketplace Dining Hall

The true undergrad experience!
Okay, so I never thought I’d eat in one of Michigan’s dining halls. But I did – for the past three weeks. I’m directing a summer camp for high schoolers, and as part of that, I eat lunch with them. Every day. The Mojo Marketplace dining hall is definitely the best. A wide range of foods including bean salads, sushi (actually tasty!), an extensive salad bar, and marinated olives, artichokes, and roasted red peppers, along with a whole lot you’d never want to admit having witnessed. In the end, you can have a good meal here that’s healthy and full of options. And you can also fall off the health bus, as they say. I mean, it is a dining hall after all, and you can eat as many french fries and cookies as your heart desires.

I agree with the previous reviewer. I also feel the need to add that their dishwasher is frequently broken, resulting in having to use paper plates, silverware and cups. In addition, they frequently run out of silverware during busy times. Staff is not helpful in bringing out enough extra silverware when this occurs. Occasionally food runs out before closing as well. Ice cream machine is often broken.
Burgers are almost always too hard, hot dogs usually burnt. The sushi is not only not authentic, it is also lacking proper rice flavor and texture. Avocado is usually old. Staff is rude and raises their voice for unnecessary reasons.
There are many long tables, and not that many tables for four or two or one. These long tables provide an unappetizing dining setting, where one can overhear too many conversations blurring into other conversations, reminding one of a jail cafeteria.
Sometimes there is fresh fruit and salad, cake, decent beef stroganoff, chicken dishes are ok, decent breakfast sausage and egg whites, decent amount of outlets. Best dish is the salmon, usually served for special holiday dinners and cooked by the head chefs.
