On August 20, 2025, I consumed the most delectable meal I've eaten at ANY dining hall...at Newell. Apparently we got a new chef. Whoever made this food was given a divine blessing to cook. This food is heavenly. You KNOW it's good because im writing a review for a Towson dining hall.

I like the specials offered here. The place is clean and bright overall. The negatives are that the dirty dishes often stay on the rack for a while and the dough in the corn dogs is undercooked.

For a dining facility, this place allows a very satisfactory dining experience. Either breakfast or lunch, you can rely on an affordable and edible meal. Can you compare it to the student union meal court? Yes, there is decent competition here for good food. Highly recommended if you cannot afford chick fila.

Great burger, quarter pounder quality, great service with passion. As I sit in the booth looking towards the salad bar enjoying my homemade milkshakes I admire and respect the corporation running the operation. Absolutely great teamwork. Great food. Will recommend and come back hungry for more! Yours truly,

My job is pretty flexible with my lunch hour, so I generally try to go the the airport when I'm hungry. That's about a 45 minute drive, and I usually eat for about an hour and a half (don't forget the drinks! ; ) ) Anyway, I was running late for lunch one day, so I figured I'd get a quicker meal. For 6$, you can't beat a slice of this pizza. Paid about $3 for a soda, and another $2 for a granola bar. Fairly pleased with the service. Didn't feel the least ripped off, especially since they offer all you can eat sauce!
