What Students Are Saying

There are two cafeterias on campus: the main building, and one in Turner-Bishop Hall. Other than that, several restaurants are on or near campus including Pizza Hut, Chick-fil-a, Sushiya, Young's Pizza, and El Tapatio.
Allison from Bishop, TX
Newman fed my family on move-in day, so that was nice that we didn't have to leave campus for lunch. Greatly appreciated...
Megan from San Antonio, TX
On campus food is great and always available, retail options are also well chosen with chick fil a, pizza hut, subway, and suchic all on site
David from TX
I honestly do not like the food on campus. I loved it my freshman year because I was new, but as the years went by, I realized that all they served were pasta, pizza, and burgers.
I do, however, LOVE the Thanksgiving dinner at the dining hall! I do not have a meal plan but I will go and pay whatever amount I need to pay to be able to eat the delicious turkey.
Laura from Rio Grande City, TX
The cafe, they also have two lines that are somewhat the same everyday and then they have different things to eat for lunch and breakfast and dinner. I also love that they ALWAYS have fruit out! They always have something you will like to eat!
Sierra from Spring, TX
The food is pretty much what you pay for. It's better than the cafeteria food from high school. Make sure you pick the right meal plan for yourself. There's breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Arielle from Cibolo, TX
Food selection is limited depending on where you go. There is a campus dining hall that provides a main entry, side, and salad bar. It also contains a sandwich bar and a hotdog/burger station. Hours vary depending on the dining hall you go to. There is other options on campus as well such as Subway, Chik-fil-a, Pizza Hut and Sushic.
Ashleigh from Mcallen, TX
Great food at the cafeteria and at the SUB.
Kaitlin from Jourdanton, TX
TAMUK has various choices when it comes to dining. From cafeterias to restaurants such as Pizza Hut, Chick Fil A, Subway and Starbucks.
