I know two people who got food poisoning there on separate occasions. From the fish. But since you ate there and were fine that must mean it's ok.

It's actually kind of hard to get food poisoning from fried fish. The frying kills all surface pathogens.

During my time there, no-one got sick. A lot of people from our class ate there.

The food just tastes average and is way overpriced. Cheaper and 100x better just to get Uber Eats to bring you something.

Good to Know.

Sounds great until people turn down service for a week straight just to get the $5 voucher and then the rooms start smelling like crap and bugs start to come out.

Personally I could not wait to get the hell out of that hotel. Long term, it is a nightmare.

I don't think anyone will miss it if/when it's gone though.

One more thing about the chow hall there - there's also Envoy discount you can ask for in lieu of the coupon.
Food is decent, haven't heard of a food poisoning either. Do have a friend who got food poisoning elsewhere while trying to stay away from that food though.
North Main BBQ is also a pretty good hole in a wall BBQ joint, open Friday and Saturday eves.

I haven’t been there, but pretty much can’t go wrong with BBQ’d animal flesh.
