Paying thousands of dollars a semester for weekly food poisoning and inedible food. My body rarely feels hunger signals out of desperation to not return here. Do not even bother with a meal plan, it’d honestly be cheaper and healthier to buy takeout for every meal. Pictured is a plate of fish. That dry, sad mass is not a biscuit, but fish. This place is a joke.

I remember not liking the Food Zoo when I was in college. If I lived closer, I would buy a meal plan just to eat there daily.

Lots of good memories… dissociation included. The lights should all be the same color but, other than that it’s a solid C- for me. Thank you Mr. Zoo for providing. If you have any other questions please reach out to me via the comment section down below. Make sure to like and Subscribe to Food Zoo Reviews.

I’ve worked on campus for five years and became a regular in the Food Zoo over the past year. I have never been disappointed with the variety of food. I’ve always found it to be nutritious and flavorful. I love the farm to college efforts they’ve built over the years. Their menu is available online and that has really helped me plan ahead for which days I want to visit to enjoy my favorites. This evening I had their smoked beef brisket (part of the farm to college program). My favorite meal is their Vegan Pad Thai!

Food is iffy at times, and not open on holidays, but you can’t beat the good stuff when it’s here. I will always wish I was still living on campus just so I can have ready access to the zoo. Highly recommend to all campus goers, despite it being pricier for non-students.

Top notch buffet/cafeteria style food. Lots of options for different types of diets. Good quality and good seating but most importantly the staff is extremely helpful, friendly and supportive of UM students/staff/faculty.

Being a vegan and eating here is trying, at best. Most of the time, there isnt really vegan options, unless I want a bowl of hot kidney bean water or a salad for every meal. And, seriously, soy milk is not the only milk alternative, plus, there are many people who are allergic to soy. The so called “dairy free” line often has dishes with milk or eggs in them.

Food quality is always great. I get stuffed every time I go there and there is a ton of variety. The build your own bar is a fun way to go if you are picky.
