Boiler Bistro - West Lafayette

Reliable price for students. The food is prepared by students and served by students.

I understand that it is a learning experience for students, but the quality here is simply missing like crazy. Order a Burger and Pommes and the Burger just didn't taste right. Not sure what it was, but I could say they pulled it warmer from a tray. Suppose they were baked. The wafers had a fish taste on them, which makes sense, as they also have fish on the menu and probably use the same frit. The onions on the side were a bunch of wipes. The students were super friendly and helpful, but food quality is not great. Since Aramark has taken over, it is definitely downhill.

You have a good choice of two soups every day that comes with a role. Too many American food centres give you too much food for too much money. The daily special looks interesting, but I didn't try it because I'm not so hungry at noon.

Limited hours, but much faster service than some other campus locations. As this is part of a course for hospitality management students, the daily specials rotate frequently

Food was pretty good and delivered fast. Nice little environment and would definitely return. That said, the prices were a bit too high for my liking so it's not someplace I'll go to regularly.
