South Servery

If you find yourself in Houston, this restaurant is definitely a must-visit. They serve the best chicken in the vicinity of Rice University, and offer a wide variety of options catering to everyone from gluten-free and vegan to carnivores. The all-you-can-eat format is perfect for diners of all ages, and the pricing is very reasonable. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, and there is always a delicious dessert on offer.

Eating at South Servery is like being in a long-term relationship. There are ups and downs, tears and laughter, but if you're from Hanszen/Wiess, you're in it for the long haul (4 years, or until you can't be bothered to go to another dining hall). With a wide variety of food options to choose from, including fried and roasted dishes, meats smothered in various sauces, and more, decision-making can be overwhelming. My favorite dish is a simple yet delicious Oikos Greek Yogurt with frozen mangos and granola. I highly recommend it. I have fond memories of the dessert displays at South Servery, with towers of macarons, chocolate fountains, mousse cups, and dessert bars brightening up the otherwise gloomy dining hall. No matter where life takes me, South Servery will always be a part of me, in the form of the dreaded "Freshman 15" that stuck around long after college.
