CAMPUS EATS

PLACES TO DINE ON CAMPUS

the vet school has the “Vet Med Cafe,” West Campus Library has the “West Side Exchange,” West Campus has the “Ag Cafe” which houses a Chick-Fil-A, Rev’s Express, and Which-Wich, and the Student Recreation Center has a Smoothie King.

     North Campus houses a Starbucks and “Aggie Express,” a convenience store in Hullabaloo Hall. Sbisa Dining Complex, A&M’s biggest dining hall, can be found across the street from Hullabaloo and has a Smashburger, Einstein Bros Bagels and Lime, a mexican food restaurant, attached adjacent. Underneath those is the “Underground,” a food court that has a Chick-Fil-A, Papa John’s Pizza, Smoothie King, Houston St. Subs and another Aggie Express. The Blocker Building houses “Outtakes” a convenience store similar to the Aggie Express.

     Central campus is also home to several places to eat, boasting the most options. The Memorial

Students Center is also a focal point when it comes to on campus dining. It houses Rev’s American Grill and a Starbucks in its bookstore, as well as two food courts — on one the main level and one on the

lower level.

     The upper level food court has M20-Made to order, which is a sandwich shop, Cabo, a build-your-own burrito shop, Zatar, which serves Eastern Mediterranean food, Bee Creek Pizza, and Brazos Valley Barbeque. The lower level food court has “Chick-N-Grill,” a fried chicken place focusing on chicken tenders, a Smoothie King and a Panda Express.

     Rudder Tower hosts “The University Club,” a full-service restaurant with a buffet and a la carte items, on its 11th floor. You can also reserve it for on campus gatherings.

     Evans Library and its surrounding area also has a variety of food options, including a Starbucks in the library,  an Aggie Express outside of the Pavilion Building, and “The Grill at the Pavilion,” a burger grill, inside.

     South campus also houses four places to eat. There is a food truck row, a Starbucks inside the Corps of Cadets LLC, Duncan Dining Hall, A&M’s second dining hall, and the “Azimuth Cafe,” an artisan sandwich shop.

Texas A&M offers a variety of options for dining on campus. From local favorites like  the Grill at the Pavilion to national chains like Chick-Fil-A, nearly any craving can be met without leaving campus.

     Food on campus can be bought in two ways: With your own currency or with an A&M meal plan. Meal plans consist of two parts: Meal trades, in which a paid out meal is provided, and dining dollars, which are used like regular currency.  All freshman students who live on campus are required to get a dining plan, and the “90 meal trades  and 300 dining dollars” plan is the minimum. All Corps of Cadets students are also required to have a meal plan, and the “160 meal trades and 300 dining dollars” plan is the minimum. All on- or off-campus upperclassmen can purchase optional meal plans, which vary in price and what they come with. Meal trades and dining dollars do not roll over and must be refilled every semester.

     Food isn’t hard to find on campus. The Bush School of Government is home to “The 41st Club,”
