Reviews
"Average food, sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's awful. Pretzel bites fire though. They use paper plates often which really sucks. Recently my friend got stabbed by a shard of a toothpick in his salad (see picture)."
"Best salad bar ever very fresh Food is mostly home made. Fresh fruit and desserts are so excellent. Servers are very polite."
"Park hurst dining is awful. Literal dog water. I would recommend going somewhere else to eat at all times. Even if u have the overpriced meal plan. If ur deciding where to eat. I had an inch of water in my spaghetti once. And the pizza is severely undercooked. Eggs are watery than a 1 star hotel breakfast. If you want chips just eat a raw potato, it’s more cooked. The chicken is 50/50 either overcooked or raw. I’m not exaggerating. Why can’t we have food like Purdue?"
"Parkhurst has ruined Valpo dining. They are limiting the options and hours of availability. The food quality isn't even as good as the previous dining options. If you are a student considering living on campus at Valpo, make sure you try the food to decide if you're willing to put up with it."
"I have never experienced college food before however, I never imagined that such a horrible dining experience like this could ever just spawn into the world like this. The current Founders is under a contract with Parkhurst Dining Company and honestly the school could do without it. Last year was alright because the deli within founders was the only reliable source of sustinance for me. But due to COVID reasons, a more breakfast, lunch, and dinner type schedule has been set which only allows for the deli to be open for about 3-4 hours during the busiest time of day for some people. The options have only become more limited, making me rely on my personal funds for uber eats. Personally, I believe 2 stars is being generous for this horrendous service; however, it is one of my only sources of food and therefore it is still eatable. I'll give it a 2 i guess."
