What Students Are Saying

There aren't many options for off campus dining, but food on main campus is good enough that you really won't need it. McClurg Dining Hall has many different options, including a vegan line, a wok, omelette bar, and salad bar in addition to the main dishes for the day, which vary from breakfast to lunch to dinner. In addition, student's get $150 Tiger Bucks that they can spend at the Tiger's Head Pub as well as the Globe Taqueria for specialty burgers, wings, burritos, and other foods. The food is generally good at all three places, but food choices other than that are pretty limited. There's an on campus coffee shop owned by the school and run by student's called Stirlings, which is very good, but the don't take Tiger bucks--only cash/credit.

Everyone eats at McClurg Dining Hall, which is on central campus. You have quite a few options in the beginning, but as with most cafeteria food, it will eventually get old. The breakfasts are really good, though. Other dining options include The Globe Cafe, Fiesta Grill in Cowan (15 min drive), Stirlings Coffee House, and The Pub, all of which are on campus except Fiesta Grill. The Pub serves snacks such as mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, and some breakfast food. The Pub is where everyone goes after an awesome party. The Coffee House is great for all your coffee needs as the name implies (it also serves food). However, I cannot comment on the food at the Globe Cafe.

It good and bad. Average but its unlimited so it is what it is. Plus, you receive Tiger Bucks for other locations on the campus.

mcclurg has good food that is available to students for up to 8 meals a day. the many restaurants in sewanee and monteagle are all very good. meal plan's inclusivity is a major plus.
