Panther Dining Hall - Melbourne (FL)

5 /5 Linda Travell: Some of the hot food could be more hot for my liking... got cold kinda quick IMO otherwise I really enjoyed it...cafeteria is huge with lots of places to sit.

5 /5 Alex Schoedel: The dining hall at Florida Tech has good food in a buffet style and is very inexpensive. The buffet offers a salad bar with a lot of toppings and dressings. The salads are really good and fresh. My impressions about the hot food are mixed. Chicken, vegetables and rice are good, however the beef and the fish is usually way overcooked. The variety of deserts taste great and there is icecream as well. I definitely recommend this place, because the price is unbeatable.

5 /5 Dr Rad Dan: Go Panthers. We have been attending the International dinner series since 2016. It is not only a delightful dinner experience, but also a wonderful way for the various cultures attending the institution to showcase their heritage. We missed it during CoVid and its return on September 21, 2022 showcased how important an event is to the community. We arrived at 5:30 to a line of about 50 students and non-students, like us, to experience a taste of Delhi, India. When we left , about an hour later, there was still a line. The wait was about 15 minutes to get to the cafeteria serving line, where the food was hot and aromatic. From butter chicken, aloo gobi, lamb biryani, and naan our taste buds were tingling. Theres plenty of seating. The students are very considerate of our senior, slower paced presence in their chaotic flow and fast pace. The dining hall maintains their normal menu during this event, pizza, burgers, subs, but also rotisserie chicken, meatloaf, mashed potatoes and numerous vegetable, salad, and dessert choices. There is a dessert specific to the international menu and for India that is gulab jamun. A favorite of mine, it is a milk solids and flour small fried ball soaked in a sweet liquid container saffron and cardamom. All of the foods at the dining hall are also available to the public attending the International dinner. I heartily recommended attending the series, which will next go to Mexico on 11/2, England on 2/1/23, and finally stop at Thailand on 3/8/23. They also have a great Mothers Day brunch. Go Panthers!

4 /5 Tyler Ghizzoni: Good food but It has gotten crowded over the past couple years. Pro Tip: try to show up 10-20 minutes before peak hours to get fresh food and not be overwhelmed by the amount of people. If you are a student avoid the big event nights as it attracts hundreds of people from outside FIT, leaving little to no room for students left.
