I was on my way to class this morning when I saw a guy walking towards the outpost grill and I asked him have you ate there before and he said I am a cook there. I was glad to here that because I always wanted to try it but never did. I asked him what does he suggest for a girl who only eats salad. He mentioned a BBQ Chicken Salad that was very popular. I said that sounds great and I would probably try it later. I asked him his name and he said Richard and I said Thank You Richard you were a big help. Around 12:30pm I went into the Outpost Grill and order that BBQ chicken salad Richard mentioned and it was so delicious. It had crispy romaine lettuce with cheddar cheese and juicy tomatoes, as well as sweet corn and black beans. To top it off it came with creamy BBQ Ranch dressing. I enjoyed the salad so much. I will be back to order that salad again. Thanks cook Richard for suggesting a delicious meal.

I went to the Outpost Grill last Monday and ordered some food and I didn’t like it but I said I will give it another chance. So today I ordered a Turkey California with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and fries and it was so delicious. I asked the cashier who cooked my food and they said someone name Richard and the cook looked up. Thank you Richard, it was great. You can tell the food was made from the heart and took time. I don’t remember seeing him last Monday but if he can be my cook everytime, I would choose him. Can’t wait to eat here again!!!

Perfect rating for convenience and selection. It’s located right next to the engineering buildings, which makes it very convenient for me to grab a quick bite to eat in between classes. It’s literally 10 steps from my engineering classes. Okay, maybe 20 steps, but close. I usually get their chicken tenders, fish and chips, or Chicago dog. They have a huge selection of hot dogs alone. I love hot dogs. Especially Chicago dogs, and the Outpost makes it perfectly. Five stars for their Chicago dog !! I feel like some students and campus workers on Unilocal are being too harsh. Come on guys, the Outpost is a cafeteria-style food on campus. I don’t understand why you’re even looking for 5-star food and service on a university campus. Go to downtown and eat. It’s a cafeteria you get a quick bite from in between classes. I don’t expect much and love this place. Chicago dog ! Ahahaha.

First time being here and it is amazing, the California sandwich and the fries are sooo good! I’ll definitely be back. The only downside is that it’s hard to find seats

After the many years studying here at CSULB and coming to the Outpost, I’m finally coming around to this review! There’s many different options here which are pretty similar if not the same options as you get up at the Nugget. Their food selection is extensive. Ranging from burgers to salads, fountain drinks to beer, and breakfast burritos to snacks. I normally grab the breakfast burrito with sausages if I crawl into here in the mornings or I get the chicken tenders with fries for lunch. I’ve never had a problem here other than finding a table during rush hours. Coming here year after year, everything still stays the same which I don’t mind. The Outpost is located at lower campus which is nice since you don’t have to walk up campus to the Nugget if you want something to grub on. This place offers a nice change of options to what you can eat since everything else is basically fast food. The reason the Outpost isn’t getting higher than a 3 star from me is simply because there isn’t a wow factor. It’s just conveniently located and the food is not bad.

Best place on all of CSULB to get a bite to eat. Good food and a great vibe. Revamped the menu from last year and it has even more choices to pick from. Pete’s BBQ cheese burger with season fries is my personal favorite but you can never go wrong with the sweet potato fries either. But nothing beats showing up to the Outpost after your Thursday classes are through and grabbing a fresh brew. Staff is awesome and management really puts in the effort make this place great. One time I showed up during the peak of the lunch rush. At-least 150+ were in the building and after placing my order I was able to grab a seat(which can sometimes be difficult as there is a big seating area but during lunch it does get crowded). Usually orders are called through the speaker system but they weren’t working that day. Food orders were called out by cashiers which was working out pretty well but after waiting 30min I still had not been called. I talked to the manager Salvador and he sincerely apologized for making me wait. He ran back to the kitchen, yelled out my order to the chefs, and gave me a free order of large fries with my burger. He valued my service and I really felt that he appreciated my business so I really do enjoy going here. This is the only place I eat on campus and since I’m always in the ECS and VEC it is super convenient to walk over and eat a good meal. I recommend anyone on campus to eat here over The Nugget because it has better seating, more personal service, and the food is MUCH better here too.

Located right next to the VEC, the outpost is a traditional diner serving different kinds of foods from burgers to breakfast burritos. I ordered the turkey club because I saw some reviews on it and man. it’s pretty good lol The only downside is that it’s pretty expensive even with the discount(especially for college students). The turkey club by itself was about $ 6. I threw in some fries(seasoned) and the totally was about $ 8.52 without a drink. I can’t say it was unreasonable because I pretty much finished the sandwich in less than 10 minutes. Great option between classes if you have a class near the Engineering buildings or if you’re feeling pretty ballin’

I work at CSULB and started eating here over the summer because we moved into the SSPA building which is right next door. The food quality over the summer months, when not as busy, was decent, but now that the semester is in full swing, the food quality has gone WAY downhill, to the point of me not eating here any longer. I used to like their veggie burger when done properly but it is very touch and go now. Today I ordered one and when I flipped the bun over to take out the horrible wilted lettuce, there was mayo ALL over the bottom bun… like someone had grabbed it and threw it in the paper with mayo all over their hands… btw, the veggie burger does not come mayo, so it was horribly gross. I threw the whole thing away. Also, when they are in a hurry, the patty is not done well. I know other employees who have had similar experiences here, but I’ll let them Unilocal for themselves.

Eh, i was too harsh in my last review, it’s ok here. However, don’t get the oatmeal. It’s like they genetically engineered oats to hold 10x the water than they have any right to.

The Outpost is conveniently next to my classes, otherwise I would be eating somewhere worth my $ 6. Not the most noteworthy food, but not so bad either! If I find something that I extremely love, I tend to stick to it. So you’ll see me ordering the boneless wings with garlic sauce about 90 percent of the time that I am here. For some reason, I freakin’ love it! It comes with a side of celery and carrots too. If I can make it in time for breakfast which ends at 11am, I usually get the skinny burrito because it’s equally delicious and it will be make skinnier right?!(just kidding). It comes with a side of spicy salsa. I also order their BLAT wrap and their BLTs(bacon lettuce tomato duh). Two different meals, same deal, both satisfying. The wrap comes with avocado(hence the«A») and a side of chips while the sandwich comes with a pickle. I’m not a fan of buffalo sauce but their Buffalo Chicken Salad is pretty good! Grilled cheese is good too, I think it is overpriced for just cheese and bread though. I guess they throw in a pickle too… It’s probably one of the cheapest things you can order. If you’re feeling bold and expensive, try the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich! BIG fan of their sweet potato fries. If you order these fries or the regular, get them both well-done! TRUST! Soggy fries are the worst. And ask your regular fries to be seasoned! Coffee is pretty cheap here! They serve Starbucks coffee.

The better of the two places to eat at csulb that serves alcohol. Plenty of seats and tvs playing sports. The best way to beat the line is to get the tapingo app and order through that from your seat and then when it’s ready they’ll call your name. One of the best deals here to eat is the chicken tenders and seasoned fries. Also the chicken tenders here are bigger than at the nugget. If your not up for that try the bbq ranch quesadilla. The beer options are great. Even though there’s not a big variety the few they have are very good in my opinion the 805 and the dos equis amber. But expect to spend over $ 5 per beer and food. The cashiers are always nice and friendly.

Tops: –1lb LB Breakfast Burrito. –Philly Cheese Steak. –Breakfast Plates. –Regular Breakfast Burritos. –Chicken Strips and Fries. –Dos Equis Amber on tap Most other things are classified as «eat at your own risk.» Not saying they’re not good, I’m just a creature of habit and haven’t ordered them yet. I come here so often, that most of the cashiers/servers know me by name. In short, I’ve been here quite a few times, never had a bad experience!

Why is this place so bad while the nugget is so good? How hard is it to prepare a breakfast where your eggs are not drowning in syrup? I asked them to fix it and the genius in the kitchen just put the syrupy eggs on a new plate. It sucks that all my classes are in the engineering building and it’s a long walk to the nugget, but it’s worth the walk. Last time I ate here was a year ago. I ordered a personal pizza and it came out with ingredients on half the pizza and they pretended it was normal. Go to the nugget instead of this place. You won’t be disappointed. Another bonus, the nugget’s coffee is better and only costs $ 1.00 if you bring your own cup. That’s cheaper than 7 – 11.

The Outpost is the ONLY place to get decent food down at lower campus. I came in today because I was dying of hunger. Ordered a veggie tuscany wrap and paid a little extra for chicken. It took a little longer than usual for the food which was understandable because its the first week of school. When my order finally finished, I noticed that it was in a spinach wrap instead of the wheat wrap that I ordered. So i asked the girl at the counter about it to double check if it was mine. She asked the cooks in the back and apparently they messed up. No big deal. I offered to just take the order so the food doesn’t go to waste but they insisted on making a new one. So I guess I’ll wait another 10 minutes for it. When it finally came out again, it was missing the chips that comes with the wraps. The manager made up some BS excuse about how the new wraps don’t come with chips. Errr… okay… Then why is it listed in the menu that it does??? Whatever. I was hungry and just wanted some food in me. Sat down, took a bite of the wrap and realized that there was no chicken in it. Honestly, I normally wouldn’t care but I paid nearly $ 2 extra just to have some skimpy meat in my wrap(and boy was that wrap skimpy). So I made another trip to the counter and asked them if they can just give me my $ 2 back or maybe give me those skimpy salads they give out as sides. They ended up switching my wheat wrap with no chicken for the spinach wrap with chicken that they left on the side… –____-‘ The girls behind the counter were nice, its just that manager of theirs. I know its not fine dining or whatever but at least get your crap together. Next time I’ll save myself the trouble and just walk up to the dining hall to get food.

This place is one of the many food places on campus, but one of the few on lower campus. Its location and large amount of tables attracts many students here. I too found myself here a lot because I work pretty close. The food here is pretty good. Although they have a few salads, most of the items here a pretty greasy and unhealthy, but not too bad to eat every once and awhile. However, I think the food here is a bit overpriced, but I do keep coming back. The seating at The Outpost is plentiful, especially inside. However, during the school year, it can still fill up, especially during the lunch rush. Everyone who works here is really nice and cheery, and they are always very helpful. Overall, this is a pretty good on campus lunch place, but keep in mind is gets pretty crowded at times.

As I work right across the street, I’m a fairly frequent customer. I’ve always received great customer service, and their food is good. I’m a big fan of their breakfast burrito(for breakfast) and the BBQ burger(for lunch). The biggest bummer for those of us on campus year-round, is that they close so early during the Summer and Winter… But that just means we have to plan our meal breaks a little more carefully than the rest of the year.

Breakfast burritos are THEBOMB. Get ‘em before breakfast serving time ends though! I love mine with chorizo. Sooo good. Food here a good price. I usually get the BLT sandwich with fries. I like to dip my fries in a mix of ketchup and ranch. They also have a daily special combo that changes every day of the week. Busy during times when everyone’s out for lunch, be ready for a long wait. Tables are very scarce during those peak hours. You have to swoop in quick on people who look like they’re about to leave, otherwise someone else will grab that table. Or if you don’t find any inside, there is usually outdoor seating to be found.

I always get their california club because it’s really bomb and consistent. I have tried their buffalo chicken salad which I thought was really bad. It’s right by where all my classes are so it’s a very convenient place to eat. It gets really crowded during lunch time though. It’s hard to find a table around noon. Update: I just tried the breakfast burrito today with chorizo meat(you can select from different choices of meat), comes with salsa and it was delicious and satisfying. Other posters have mentioned that this place is «overpriced» but I think the pricing is pretty fair. $ 5.49 for a fresh sandwich and no sale tax if you are a student. It’d cost the same if you get a sandwich at a subway. Plus it’s super convenient if you have classes around the area.
