Reviews for UT Campus Dining in Knoxville, TN
As a UT student, I would hope the campus dining that I was forced to pay over $2,000 to my first year would be more helpful with... matters, however they are extremely unhelpful in fixing problems with meal plans and do not care about how at risk financiallythey put students by not helping. Specifically Alan Paul, was very unhelpful and condescending when I approached him with myproblem, I will never be purchasing a dining plan from these people again, nor will I give a dime to them after I graduate. Theydo not care about individuals, just money. Also PCB always has bugs crawling all over the desserts, so I?d stay away from there. Read more
If you didn't have to walk around the whole building to find the one drink machine that still had Powerade did you really eat at... PCB? Read more
students are forced to have a meal plan, so I eat here, but SUPER bland food, terrible dining hours and 9/10 employees SUCK!!!... So unhelpful, apathetic and disrespectful, even when I go in everyday with a smile. It's so hard to find healthy options, andthe salads are terrible. Sometimes, the food is decent, but usually its not. Also everything is CRAZY OVERPRICED!!! Read more
My friend clark mentioned this place while we were discussing human trafficking. The omnipresent aura of depression is... definitely appealing, especially after failing multiple tests the same day. I'd give it a ten out of ten but the food isatrocious. I've had better pizza behind a Walgreens in an alley. The employees look dead inside, which is a nice touch. OverallI'd definitely recommend this place for all the freshman that were forced to buy unlimited access to this God-forsaken wasteland Read more
The PCB usually has an overwhelming aura of depression. Occasionally one of the booths is haunted, either by a poltergeist or... quasi-demon but heck, what do I know? I'm just a lowly student trying to get his degree in this asburd mess we call the world.Each day that passes is ticking of the hand on the uncaring clock of the apathetic universe that purges life of all meaning inexchange for an ocean of nihilism. The chicken sandwiches here are pretty good, though. Read more
By far the worst possible place to eat on campus. Extremely bland and usually poor mantianced. I can't believe ut hasn't cut... ties with such a company conside how terrible their performance is. Never coming back to eat here again. I'd rather spendactually money for real heart food nearby... Do NOT recommend to ANYONE!!! Read more

As a senior mechanical engineering major at the University of Tennessee, I have a vast amount of experiences dealing with UT... dining at their many locations. Have you ever been to a UT football game and been like, ?why is a bottle of water $4 or $6??Well UT dining, it?s meal plans, meal equivalencies, P.O.D. locations, and dining halls are even more of a rip off. The amountthat they are profiting on young college students is ridiculous. All their numbers are online, just do the math. I understand welive in a free market economy, but what their doing is taking advantage of students and parents. As a student whose EFC,estimated family contribution calculated by the FAFSA, has been $0 for last 5 years, it has made it incredibly difficult topurchase food at any of the UT dining locations. Attempt to go to Southern Kitchen and pay with a credit card or attempt to buyanything at a P.O.D. location and you?ll understand the incredibly high and unnecessary mark-up on food. Everything is maximizedfor profits which drastically diminishes quality and makes the time to get your food that much longer. Ever wonder why everyline on campus is always 20 minutes long? That?s exactly what UT dining wants. If they do it that way, they maximize theefficiency of their staff. But for a student who wants a $1 bagel in his 15 minute break between classes, you?re out of luck. Mybest advice, regardless of if you have money or not, don?t be foolish and waste your money on UT dining. Drive to the Kroger orAldi down Kingston and it?ll make your life so much easier and you?ll save hundreds. I make 5 sandwiches for lunch during theweek and I do it for the same price they charge you for 1 sandwich. One really smart option is to go to Nama on Monday orThursday for half price sushi or go to Copper Cellar for their burger night on Wednesday. Even if you have the scholarships topay for a meal plan, don?t buy it. Get your direct deposit refund and then use that money to buy food at grocery s Read more
