"I usually love getting things from the pod store, and sometimes I get tea from there. But the other day I went to get some mint tea, and the student working was extremely confused when I asked for it. He stared at me with a confused look on his face so I pointed it out on the menu and told him that all he had to do was heat up the water for the small-sized cup and that I pick the tea bag out because that was what happened just a week before. He then thought I was ordering Chai so I pointed it out on the menu again and said "Sorry we don't have tea" even though I clearly had the tea bags in the same place as always. I left extremely disappointed and did not want to argue anymore. I am not necessarily mad at the student worker, but more at the lack of training and/or the fact no one was available to ask for help. I can understand if there is a staffing issue, but I honestly think that an employee should not be working by themselves if they can not fulfill a basic customer need."

"I got out of my way to go to the blue connection. Plenty of room to do homework and grab something to eat and drink."

"That's a big burg! In all seriousness, I came to eat lunch today at Hearth and ordered the burger meal. The burger was HUGE and the toppings were delicious. The fries and cauliflower were OK. I hardly spent more here than I would have anywhere else on the campus for a full meal. The patty was hot and fresh, just off the griddle. Will come again when I'm very hungry."

"This is the only place to eat on the south side of campus that said there are 4 different places to check out in the Blue Connection. There is also a large seating area making it the perfect place to chill out between classes. There is also a fire place for those cold winter days and outside seating for the hot summer afternoons."

"Best/most varied place to eat on campus that uses meal swipes. Laker bowls are dope. Late night is bad for my health, but good for my soul. Would maybe get 5 stars (relative to other places on campus) if the steak dinner wasn't always overcooked."
