“I really like going to Jazzman’s,” said Jonathan Mor. “Specifically, I get their Caramel Delight with another shot of caramel. They also have good muffins.”
Kaitlyn Vomhof agreed with this, stating that she likes Jazzman’s for their iced coffee because, according to her, it’s basic and simple.
“I also eat Weggy’s a lot too,” said Vomhof. “Their portions are great and they’re really chill. I tend to go for their biscuits and gravy.”
Weggy’s on Campus was a popular choice with MNSU students, with a handful applauding anything chicken from the restaurant, particularly their chicken and waffles dish.

Gretchen Otto recommended Star Ginger on the bottom floor of the CSU, stating, “They are the first place I ever got pho, and now I love it. I will order the spicy broth, and I can’t recommend it enough.”
Many students also mentioned specific things that they are fans of from the University Dining Center, with a group of students recommending many different things.
