The Stamp food court
Stamp is the obvious choice for the best on the list. There's so many options to choose from, and it's great to get away from diner food and have some "real food" every once in awhile. I mean who can say no to Chick-Fil-A?
251 North
251 North is the king of the diners. Their options are out of this world, and there's so much to choose from. Their pasta station is like visiting an actual Italian restaurant. They have alcoves for the different stations which makes it feel a bit fancier than the other diners, and the desserts outdo the other diner's desserts by a long shot.
The Farmers Market
Every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. you can find the UMD farmers market outside of Stamp. There's food trucks, fresh fruit vendors, a Maryland Dairy table, and lots of other organic options. Although you have to use actual money here, it's worth it to get some fresh fruit or even treat yourself to some Maryland Dairy.
North Diner
This is the one where I'm usually found due to the proximity of my dorm. North diner is cute because it's styled with a retro theme. The options are plentiful, but they have the same thing every week so it gets old very quickly. I'm personally a huge fan of the quesadillas and soft serve!
South Campus Diner
South Campus diner is definitely my least favorite because it seems like there's no options. The pizza is not even close to as good as the north campus diner, but I may be a tad bit bias. I don't tend to go to South Campus diner a lot because it's on the opposite side of campus from me, but I've heard their ramen noodle bar is exceptional.
Cafès
There are loads of cafes scattered around campus that should not be taken for granted. Most of them sell Starbucks products, a bonus, and have everything from chips to bakery items to protein bars. They're great places to grab a quick lunch or a coffee on the go in between classes. There's some type of cafe in almost every building on campus, so always be on the lookout!
There are great options at every choice, so don't stress too much about where to eat your next meal!
