TL:DR
- The meats at Savor is almost always overcooked…read moreand/or dry because they need to keep a safe temperature, meaning no medium cooked steaks
- Sizzle is actually not bad at all. They have good food.
- Sushi by Gusto is a good quick fix for my sushi cravings. I probably wouldn't eat it "just because."
- The convience store is overpriced, so unless you are able to go to an actual store or if you have dining dollars, your money can be better saved elsewhere.
- This whole market is worked by students, so do not expect the best service or attitudes.

I really love the Market at Glen Mor because of its convenience. It has most things that a student on-campus needs without having to leave campus. They have Starbucks (which I will review in its own page), groceries, and three different options for food; Savor, Sizzle, and Sushi by Gustos.
Savor is a cafeteria-style service where you have the option of choosing 1 side + 1 entree, or 2 sides + 1 entree. One of the negatives of Savor is that they need to cook their food to an above-desired temperature, meaning that the salmon, tri tip, pork, etc are all overcooked. I wouldn't pay for this food if I didn't have the option to get this food with a meal swipe. I won't go too into detail on the students who work their since they're constantly changing, but sometimes I get students who always smiles and genuinely wishes me a good day, which is a plus.
The other restaurant that is offered is called Sizzle. I actually enjoys Sizzle a lot! If you are in the area for lunch, definitely try out the Salmon burger, steak quesadilla, mushroom burger, or the caprese sandwich.
They also have an option called Sushi By Gusto. Yes, it is pretty weird buying sushi on campus, but I definitely like their sushi enough for it to satisfy my late night sushi cravings. The older gentleman who makes the sushi is also very friendly. If I want to add crispy onion flakes or eel sauce, I ask him, and he doesn't mind adding it on top. He hands it back with a smile as well.
The convenience store part of The Market has a lot of basic items you might need like honey, tissues, frozen food, drinks, etc. Do know that this store is very overpriced, but for many first years who have dining dollars, it is totally fine.
One of the downfalls of The Market is that it is primarily students who work. I totally get that they add the stress of a part-time job on top of their studies. However, the "IDGAF" attitude a lot of them show, or the lack of knowledge of the place they work at can be pretty stressful for the customer's side as well. Overall, I am very glad that The Market at Glen Mor exists.
