That said, I do enjoy a bowl if there is no line. If you are willing to wait for 30+ minutes for Qdoba, especially on a campus where there are countless other incredible options, I have to question your decision making ability. With that said, a walk through Turner Place during "rush hour" is where students make decisions that are, with a lack of better words., just dumb. Virginia Tech is a world-class university with some very intelligent young men and women preparing themselves to invent the future and make a difference in this world. "Never a bad day for 'Doba" - Josh Little, 2014. Two slices of pepperoni pizza with a cup of Cherry Coke? Unmatched. But it's greasy, the pepperonis are enormous, and it is the perfect pick-me-up after a rough day of class. Not to mention, they have a Grab 'N Go section with slices of pepperoni or cheese pizza, as well as chicken parm and chicken pesto subs. Atomic Pizzeria may have the occasional line, but it pales in comparison to the others. But then, you walk downstairs, look to your left and see Ol' Reliable waiting for you. All options are 10/10.Ītomic Pizzeria: so slept on! There is nothing worse than walking into Turner after getting obliterated by an exam to see hour-long lines across the board at Qdoba, 1872, Origami and Bruegger's. If you want something not sweet I would recommend the ham and cheese crepe. So if you're feeling something sweet they have it. It's a sure-fire option and hits the right note every time. And if its Friday - I'm going with chicken and waffles.Īs a non-frequent Turner customer, Qdoba is about all I've had. It really is impossible to beat, and if I had to choose one place in Turner to visit as an alum, it would be 1872. My personal favorite was the chicken and waffles on Fridays. Origami is great, but it has nothing on the rotating menu at 1872 Fire Grill. Similarly, Bruegger's is great in the morning, but I can still get that in DC. I avoided choosing Qdoba because that isn't exactly a Virginia Tech special, although I frequented it often. That is for good reason - it is easily the best option in Turner, which is saying something. I imagine that 1872 Fire Grill will be a popular choice here. Preston Huennekens - 1872 Fire Grill Chicken + Waffles The chicken is crispy and juicy, then you have delicious sides of mashed potatoes, cornbread, mac and cheese, and more. This is probably the best southern food available at Tech. However, not to be outdone is the fried chicken from 1872 Fire Grill. My friends and I probably got this at least three to four times a week. Then get it doused with Yum Yum sauce, shake it up, and you have the most delicious lunch. I mixed it up on the protein but always went with noodles. You could get it with chicken or steak with noodles or rice. However, the meal I frequented the most from there was the Box. What other schools have a Japanese steak house available with your on-campus meal plan? You can even get the full show experience for dinner. While Turner Place may be the newest dining hall, it has still produced some of our favorite on-campus meals:Īdam Rothe - Origami Box / 1872 Fire Grill Fried Chicken In July 2013, only a year after it opened, Turner was awarded as the country's best new dining facility by the National Association of College and University Food Services. Just like the other Hokie dining halls, Turner Place has been rated as one of the best in the country. No one wants to walk across a blustery drillfield during a break between classes in the middle of winter for lunch, so this new dining hall was a very welcomed site. Turner may be the most frequented dining hall simply due to the fact that it is the only one on the academic side of campus. Opened in 2012, it features various appetite educing options such as a Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse on your meal plan (find me another college that has this), a southern restaurant pumping out fried chicken, a wood-fire pizzeria, and popular chain restaurants, among other spots. Turner Place is by far the newest dining hall at Virginia Tech and it has lived up to the hype.
