A new arrival of food options was installed over the winter break. Spice Station and Dandy’s, two local favorites, took the place of Chopsticks in the Memorial Student Union Building (MSUB).
With their major popularity amongst the Kingsville population, this is a great opportunity for students to have new food options aside from the everyday choices.
As part of Revolve the Restaurant Rotation, Dandy’s Burgers is available from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, and Spice Station on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
The Dandy’s Burgers and Spice Station menus do not include all the regular restaurant items. Dandy’s Burgers contains all and only the beef burgers and fries options along with the sauces and veggies. While Spice Station’s options only contain a build-your-own-plate with a choice of two rice and meat toppings along with rolls.
However, even though students gained two new restaurants on campus, the available food options during the weekend is very limited.
All MSUB restaurants are closed, along with the Action station and the Pasta station in the Javelina Dining Hall during the weekends.
Which leaves the Home Zone, which can be a hit or miss depending on what is being served, the Grill with the same repetitive burgers, fries and pizza, the Salad Bar, and the Deli. Now, without the Action station and the Pasta station it seems like there is still a good amount of options in the dining hall, however it doesn’t seem so after the food becomes very repetitive.
And for those who aren’t aware, the Turner-Bishop dining hall closes on the weekends as well. So with the restaurants in the MSUB and the Turner-Bishop dining hall closed on the weekends, the Action and Pasta station should be opened during this time so students can have more options. This will also benefit the students that depend on those stations for health and calorie cautious reasons. Besides the Action and Pasta station, the dining hall should also have the weekday dinner schedule as well, especially for students coming back from home on a Sunday night.
