NBA Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O’Neal Gets His Chicken-Fried Steak Fix at Houston’s Jax Grill | Eater Houston

"The college's 24-hour dining hall on Wheeler Avenue is being used as a pop-up venue to offer students an alternative meal experience: a scheduled evening event will run from 6–8 p.m. and include a DJ, a dirty soda remix bar with various syrups, and appearances by the visiting burger concept's representatives, presenting a festive change of pace from typical campus dining." - Brittany Britto Garley

workers are very friendly and the food is okay! but there is a lactose free soft serve machine so that’s why it’s 4 stars instead of three :)

I wonder if those who complain about stingy portions have realized that it’s an all you can eat. Yes, food is not top notch cuisine, but you can feed yourself more than decently for 12-13$, with way better food than any fast food chain around, and you’re on campus. Some more power plugs would allow more laptop charging

Pretty reliable. All the food is generally good for being an all you can eat. Some people think it’s repetitive or limited but it’s just a niche of being an all you can eat. They still serve specials every day that are all generally food and unique. Staffs super nice.

The staff could be a lot more friendly and welcoming to make the whole establishment feel more comfortable. It's the main reason I give this place a lower score is the staff here could due to have more respect for the customers eating and spending money here. If you don't like what you do for a living, don't make it other people's problem!! The food selection varies and usually has a little bit of everything. Food isn't amazing but it's not bad either, and it's definitely fair for the price.

Food is always sub par. Chicken is always dry and hard, the rice is always undercooked. The dish choices are… questionable. Serving portions are extremely stingy. And worst of all, this place seems to be a fly haven!

Pretty good food for University fare. They do have new things all the time and the salad bar is always fresh and well stocked. On Fridays they offer staff lunch for $5 if you wear cougar red. Not a bad deal. They should offer cookies more often but when they do it is appreciated.
