“ Great place to go for a quick sandwich if your an OSU student it makes the prices relatively normal if you pay using your buckID. I love to go get their turkey sandwich along with a bag of chips! The wait isn't too bad and I can always get a place to eat there! ”

“ I'm living in DC this summer and the things I would do to just smell a Neil pizza rn. I think this is my collection ”

“ The service can be really slow at times but it is definitely the best dining location at OSU and works with the dining plan. There are many eating options from ranch pizza and quesadillas to Chinese food and Italian food. While it's not gourmet, it is quite good and works well for a lunch or dinner with friends. Don't forget about the salad bar and parfait bar. Always an acceptable choice! ”

“ Okay so I'm at Marketplace, right? And there's this corner where they grill these little wraps and shit so I'm out here tryna eat of course and I walk up and this chick named Alice (well that's what her nametag says who knows if they're using real names at this establishment idk) asks what I want to eat, and lemme tell you, the only reason I'm even on this website right now is to urge all members of the male gender to hit up this spot ASAP and check this dime out. Like, straight bomb-shell. Fire-craker. Like, straight up, y'all don't even know. 5/5 stars, thumbs up, whatever the f*&k you need me to tell you to go getchyo ass a turkey-asiago-guacamole whatever-the-f*@k -sandwich to lay eyes on this dime piece like soon. Nah yo a dime doesn't even cut it, this is on some Benjamin Franklin monetary-note type shit. Like she needs to tattoo "In God We Trust" on her self cause damn it's real. This is for real. But the sandwich was good too though. I mean like, it was aight, but you know. ”

“ The Marketplace gets my vote for the best dining facility on the Ohio State University. This is a place were you might actually go to eat even if you weren't attending OSU, if you felt like fighting through the crowds of students. The Marketplace probably would get a higher rating from me if I were still going to school at OSU, but since I'm not on campus anymore, the location and the student crowd become more of a drawback than an advantage. The Marketplace offers the best variety for food on campus in one place. There are several different "restaurants" to choose from inside. At the front of the place is StreetSweets, where you can get yummy ice cream, coffee in the morning, tea, pound cake treats, etc. This was especially handy for me to grab a coffee to help me stay awake during my early morning classes. The Marketplace was the best because I lived in the dorms above it, so it was very convenient. I could go out of my room and go down there in my pajamas if I wanted to, without ever having to go outside. So cool. And their coffee was really good. The ice cream was a nice touch too, and that gets really popular during the nice weather with students. They have a pretty good variety, but it is always changing. Once you make your way to the inside of The Marketplace, you'll find a little convenience-store type section where you can buy simple groceries like milk or bread, and there was even the option to get soups and salads that were pretty good. Then there was The Deli, where you could get wraps and paninis off the grill. There was some wrap that had pineapple in it and I was all about that, but I also enjoyed the Turkey and Avocado wrap. The paninis were pretty tasty as well. Then there was East/West. Loved it. Their menu was mostly Asian food, but they also had pastas. I really liked their General Tso's chicken. It tasted like typical Chinese takeout, but it was great to have that option so close to home, and without having to take chances at other questionable Chinese places around campus. The Asian dishes all came with rice, but I think you also had the option of getting noodles. Then there was the Stone Hearth. Ahhh, I loved it. They had oven baked pizza, and you can see the pizza being made inside the stone hearth. Their pizzas were really good. I didn't really have a favorite because they were all so good, but they had plenty of options. The breadsticks were also delicious! The Marketplace seemed to have a big enough seating area - kind of cafeteria style. In the front towards the coffee stand there are comfy chairs. I didn't really like the way it was set up. I mean, it works how it is, but it really made it feel like a campus cafeteria when everything else made it seem like a restaurant. I should mention that the different sections all had different hours, so it got a little confusing sometimes. When you ordered from East/West, Stone Hearth or The Deli, you got an order slip and marked down what you wanted and put your name on it. Then you hand that in they call you when your food is ready. Then you take your food and slip to the line of cash registers and they ring you up. They accept BuckID, of course, but also cash. The prices weren't too bad, but for campus food I thought it was a little pricey, but I guess paying a little extra was worth it for the quality I was getting. And since The Marketplace is pretty new, everything in there looks so nice and it's just a place you want to be. One huge downside is when it's crowded. Don't even try it. Usually during the week at dinnertime, 5:30-7, it is so packed and you can wait 45 minutes for your food. I always tried to go at random unconventional times, which was easy since I lived right upstairs. I could simply wait until the busy crowd was gone and then head on down. And take my food upstairs if I wanted. I think things were served on trays but you could also get them to go. I miss The Marketplace. If you're a student, you probably already frequent it. But if not, maybe give it a try sometime. Parking would definitely be an issue. There are metered spots right out front, but the spaces are almost always taken, and parking on campus is always a risk because their meter maids like to go way too ticket happy. But if you're taking a stroll down Neil, stop in! You'll wish you ate like this in college. ”
