Sonny's

I admittedly feel creepy about trying to review a school cafeteria, I mean are we going to start critiquing parking lots? But I'm here and I guess people have access to this place so it counts.

First off, don't order any Asian adjacent food here, this is as I remind you a cafeteria. Just stick to any muffin/chips/onion rings kind of finger food or generally pre-packaged. The waffle fries are basically the main reason to eat here, does anyone really get enough waffle fries in their life? Also the coffee is passable and does the job.

Nice people, fair service, I just need a spot to pick up my Snapple during my graveyard shift classes.

very tasty pad thai's and other classic asian dishes with tofu, meats = its just you can't feel very good about the quality of meats even if you devour this stuff.. buttt, sonny's food doesn't give you stomach spasm unlike panda ex.  and such..

and waffle fries are cheap, filling, happy making.

Food poisoning central. And I don't say that lightly.

After months of feeling sick on a certain specific day every week, I had one bout of severe food poisoning, and realized when talking with a friend it was always approximately 6 hours after lunch at Sonny's (on the one day I had class in the Columbus building) that I got sick. I stopped eating there and the stomach ailments ended.

During lunch, there is so much chaos - food being thrown around, lines out the door - that it's no wonder some element of food safety is overlooked.  There's also a lot of yelling and screaming on the part of Sonny himself, at the workers, which wasn't that pleasant to watch.  

I realized only recently that there  is a decent cafeteria in the basement of the Museum which would have been the only real alternative to Sonny's.  Save yourself the stomach troubles and eat there instead.
