Customer Reviews
Been waiting an hour for a god damn breakfast sandwich. My pancakes are cold 90% of the time. Hire better staff or actually do the work. Only reason the atmosphere gets a three is bc I can sit in here w friends.
The dining hall offers a mixed bag of experiences. On one hand, the service leaves much to be desired—staff often seem unmotivated and inattentive, which can make getting even the simplest requests met feel like a challenge. As for the food, it falls squarely in the realm of mediocrity: while it’s edible and occasionally satisfying, don’t expect anything memorable or particularly fresh. However, the atmosphere is where this place shines. It has a lively, electric vibe that creates a sense of energy and community. If you’re looking for a place to soak in a buzzing environment, this might be its saving grace. Overall, the dining hall is functional but far from exceptional, relying on its atmosphere to overshadow its shortcomings.
Well… I will admit my hopes for Port Sky overall were extremely high, as the atmosphere here is absolutely grandiose. These hopes, however, were completely crushed when I waited 35 minutes for French toast sticks and bacon. Port sky is the kind of place that has a ridiculous amount of potential, but seems to be held back by the daily operations and the system the workers unfortunately have to deal with. I would highly recommend the ice cream as my colleague Matt Beaulieu has suggested in a previous review, along with “All Fired Up”. Port Sky offers some decent food, but absolutely could be much better. In conclusion, The Port Sky Cafe is a place with an incredibly electric atmosphere, but the other shortcomings frequently leave me wishing I just went to Sheetz instead.
The guy who runs the polls is so awesome!!!
I am giving this a 3 stars because it is only trash half the time. Coming to port sky as a college student with a meal plan I don't expect to have the same quality steak as the capital grille, or I don't expect the pizza to be from Italy. I did think that the pizza would be cooked more often than not though. Coming to port sky is somewhat of a gamble depending on what you get. When I order a wrap sandwich from "On a Roll", chances are its going to be unwrapped and poorly made (the bacon is also under cooked often.) I payed good money for this meal plan and I would like to see more quality food out of it. Please and thanks. Staff is friendly though, always wishing me a good weekend :)
