The Marketplace

This place truly surprised me, it's amazing. Living right next to The Junction, I usually just went there for the first month I lived on campus. I did finally drag myself over to the TSC to try The Marketplace though, and it was so worth it. While The Junction has a pretty narrow range of cuisine, The Marketplace has a little taste of everything. There's a chef's line which I find is pretty solid, a Mexican-inspired place named Cafe Solana similar to Chipotle, a Mongolian grill called Blue Dragon that reminds me of Zao, a grill serving American fare, pizza, pasta, salads, you name it. They also have a much better selection of desserts compared to the Junction. Here, you can find Aggie Ice Cream, smoothies, and such; nowhere to be found at the Dirty J. The quality of the food is very goo

Started with a noodle bowl, feels like a mini HuHot which is nice. Picked up a poppy seed muffin and peanut butter cookies. Ordered a beef burrito with salsa verde (had a little kick without being over powering), among other items I had for lunch. This is my first time reviewing this place, but third time coming to the establishment. I give all the stars because I love this place that much! Whether you're into pasta bars, salad, pizza, grilled items (burgers/chicken sandwiches/tenders), sweets, common Mexican (burritos, tacos, nachos etc), there is an assortment of things to pick up or order that anyone should be able to find what they fancy.

My taco smelled like weed but not in a bad way. One time I was craving IKEA food and they had Swedish food the next meal. Definitely better than the junction but it’s ok overall

love most of the food, but recently as in just now I got a bowl with noodles and shrimp and the shrimp was raw so... don't get the shrimp here! I guess I should have known not to trust seafood here, but that's my mistake. otherwise good

The Marketplace is an alright place to eat on USU campus. It's a little pricey (especially if you get a meal plan), but hey, at least you get a decent number of options to choose from. There's Mexican food, Asian food, American food, the Chef's Line with different dishes every day, pizza, pasta (put it in the box), sandwiches, salads, soda, and plenty of dessert options. Unfortunately, the food is usually mediocre, the atmosphere isn't great, and it gets so busy sometimes that it can be hard to find a place to sit, even with all the tables there. 3 stars for being "just okay."
