With UMass Dining being the #1 in dining, any meal is great but here are my picks for the best meals on campus.
Frank:
1. Grilled Cheese
The classic comfort food is always available at Frank so whenever the craving arises you know where to go.
2. Hard Ice Cream
The other dining halls have soft-serve or frozen yogurt but Frank is the only one that has hard ice cream. It is always great to finish a meal off with a big scoop of vanilla.
Hamp:
3. Omelet
The made-to-order omelets at Hamp are my go to meal when I wake up early enough to eat breakfast before class.
4. Tacos
The soft tacos at Hamp are one of my favorites because of the fresh homemade tortillas that they are served on.
Berk:
5. Mac and Cheese
Fridays are my favorite days at Berk because on Fridays they serve Mac and Cheese in the pasta bar. I love spicing it up by mixing in extra cheese and hot sauce.
6. Burger and Fries
It is nice to eat all of the fancier options but sometimes it is nice to keep it simple with a burger and fries, especially when they have the crispy ones.
7. Waffles
Waffles are one of my favorite late-night meals at Berk!
8. Pizza
Every dining hall has pizza, but Berk’s pizza is the best. The crispy crust and the multiple options make it the best on campus.
9. Pasta
I love pasta and Berk is my favorite place to fill my pasta craving! The pasta bar offers three options for sauce, two types of noodles, and the main dish that changes daily that make it easy to change it up.
10. Late Night: Chicken Tenders and Mozzarella Sticks
This is arguably the best late night option. Make sure to get to Berk early and hop in line early to try to avoid long lines.
11. Late Night: Taco Salad
Another great late night option! Who doesn’t love tacos in a deep-fried shell?
These are just some of the great meal options that are on campus! Don’t be afraid to try new things and explore all the great dining options UMass has to offer!
