Hey everyone!
It’s Solenn here again, with some foodie opinions! I am quite a picky person, so eating in the dining hall means the bar is high for me. Thankfully, the University of Iowa has a great menu at all of its dining locations, and there are many things I’d like. I want to share my favorites so if you’re struggling to know what’s good, you don’t need to worry!
Dining Halls:
- Pumpkin bars – the cream cheese frosting needs to be entirely on its own
- Pecan pie – I had it once, they need to bring it back for Thanksgiving
- Italian Mac and Cheese – the actual perfect amount of cheese
- Lasagna rolls – So filling, love the marinara sauce and cheese filling
- Turkey burger – It has mustard inside, enough said
- Gluten-free chicken tenders – they taste like something right out of a fast food restaurant!
- Hummus – the salad bar hummus is delicious, I use it as my salad dressing!
- Vegan chili – has a kick to it!
- Tomato soup – so yummy, great for a cold day
- Coconut dairy free yogurt – Light coconut taste, great for a yogurt bowl
- Cinnamon rolls – They have a great taste and not too dry!
- The entire burrito bowl bar – build your own, and their salsa and tortilla chips are phenomenal
- Green beans with almonds – They are so buttery
Flex Meal locations:
- Chicken tortilla soup – it is so spicy
- Mac and cheese – fulfills those Kraft mac and cheese cravings
- Chicken caesar salad – the dressing is so good
- Chicken tenders/fries – its like getting fast food
- Edible cookie dough – a safer alternative to the real deal
- Fresca drink – it is like sparkling lemonade
- Clio bars – a healthy, sweet yogurt dessert
- River Room: -the best pasta bar around – they have pesto and gluten free pasta!!
These are just a few of a vast menu of items, there is something for everyone! I encourage you to find your own favorites.
