Great food, lots of options! Easy ordering devices with lots of seating. Love coming here with friends and family because everyone can choose something different if they’d like! You can order on your phone or the devices in the cougareat, it’s very simple.

Good place to dine on campus with options for everyone. Plenty of dining space and trash cans, and fair prices. Great choice for BYU staff, faculty, and students.

Good place to eat if you are on campus. There is plenty of good food available from fast food companies. There is, Papa John’s, Subway, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-a, Wendy’s, and Choices. There is a large indoor dining area that you don’t have to reserve, and the tables can be moved to make room for a bigger group. Would be Five stars but they don’t accept cash.

Good variety of healthy to greasy food to choose from. Wait time isn't bad except for lunchtime during the week. Lots of seating but during the week it is hard to find a spot considering it's a college campus and lots of students study there.

The selection is pretty good, but it is incredibly crowded during lunch time. This makes the wait times to get your food very long, unless you’re doing the express checkout (which in my opinion is a bit over priced). It also makes it difficult to move around with your food, bags, and backpacks without running into someone. I must say however, that the addition of the coke machines where you can basically make any kind of soda is awesome. You can usually find seating are here somewhere as well, so that’s good.

Decent selection, crowded and noisy! Taco Bell is by far the cheapest choice, but for the most bang for your buck, go eat at Aloha Plate. They have a lot of variety in food and sizes, and food there is really delicious for a fast food restaurant. Their Dole Whip is so good. If you go late at night, I think the bagels and donuts at the front of the cafeteria are cheaper. That place has really good ice cream and lots of it, too. Their child size is like a medium anywhere else. The Ice cream Taco they have on Tuesdays is to die for.

Overcrowd most of the time without enough places to eat for such a large student body. They also close for Devotional which is frustrating. Overall they do have some good restaurants like Chick fil a and Aloha Plate. If you are anywhere near a class break at lunch though you better plan an hour to get your food and eat.

The Hawaiian restaurant is probably my favorite in the food court. During lunch it is really busy, but they work through the orders pretty quickly. Definitely one I'd go back to, but because of the nature of it being a college food court, it's a little less than relaxing, which is the only real drawback.
