“ Reasonably priced self-serve food bar and made-to-order menu items. This restaurant in the Cesar Chavez Student Center at SFSU has a large selection of sandwiches and egg dishes, as well as a self-serve food bar. The made-to-order items usually take five to ten minutes. However, a broccoli and cheese baked potato I ordered took twelve minutes, but it was a big spud. The prices for the self-service food bar are calculated by weight (currently $9.75/lb), so you can have as much or as little of the food you want and pay proportionally. They have shrimp, if you're looking to get more value. In my opinion, most of the food is good. I hear their sandwiches are fantastic, so I'll give them a try next time. Service was good. Utensils and napkins were provided. Seating and restrooms were available nearby. Overall, this is a good place to stop for an inexpensive meal. ”

“ Best fresh food you can find on campus. So excited that they’re open again. Various options to choose from the salad bar, grill and the hot food options. They change every day! Some of my favorites are the Philly cheesesteak, the spicy chicken fritter sandwich, the baked chicken legs, lasagna and chicken florentine. This is definitely the only place I eat. Restaurant is clean, the cook gives generous portions and the staff are so kind. ”

“ Gold Coast has been my go to since I was in college and first discovered it. The staff is friendly, the Philly cheesesteak is AMAZING and their burgers really hit the spot! If you're in a hurry and want a quick bite they have a salad bar too and are always quick with orders without sacrificing quality. Whether you go to sfsu or not, give the place a try. It's in the middle of the campus but is open to the public as well! ”

“ SFSU's version of Sizzler's, salad bar included. d(^_^)b I like this place just because I don't waste food here. Since I'm picking my portions at the salad bar side. So I pretty much eat what I pay for. I never go over 3 dollars here and I go away full and content. The salads are loaded pretty fast because the students rush here after classes let out. EVERYONE loves the fried chicken strips, but it's bad when it runs out and they still haven't fried any new ones and we're all waiting in line for it and people behind us are getting impatient. But in general I like this place just because there's a variety and I can get my fill for less then 3 dollars. Oh and keep in mind I'm 4'11" and 100 lbs... so it'll be proportional for everyone else... ”

“ Usually get the West Portal (Spicy Chicken) Sandwich or Dropout (Chili burger) but today I had a blue cheese burger and it was fantastic. I highly recommend this place for a tasty burger/sandwich at around $10 which is definitely nice for my wallet. The fries are also pretty solid and you get a mountain of them. ”

“ Super sweet and fast service. Always getting the omelet and it’s always super good. Just tried there and cheese grilled sandwich - FIRE! There’s one super attractive worker that stays doing there job right - so pop off. ”

“ Best place on campus to eat breakfast or lunch!! Very reasonably priced. Try the Philly cheesesteak or spicy chicken sandwich. Can’t go wrong with either ”
