What Students Are Saying

I love all the food on campus! Turner has amazing food and beverages along with helpful service and a nice atmosphere. Rendezvous also has many places to catch a bite to eat located within. The convenience store and grill happen to be my two favorite places in Rendezvous.
McKenzie from Pocatello, ID
On campus dining is mostly fast food or snacks. Not that great, but it's the same at most universities. Off campus: it's Pocatello, there's not going to be that many choices. There's the usual American/fast food restaurants. There are also a surprising amount of Chinese places here (4, 5), and 2 Japanese places. Otherwise, there is not a lot of diversity.

it took me a few weeks to find the hidden restaurants that were so good here in pocatello, but once i did i have a hard time not eating out at least once a week.
Morgan from Logan, UT
Three locations on campus offer variety and a great way to socialize.
