I had some trouble finding this place because the address on Yelp is wrong. It's not located on Watt Way, but rather, Heritage Walk; between Heritage Hall and McKay Center. You'll occasionally see athletes dine here because it's next to their building. The outside of this building says "Galen" and it's open from 12pm-2pm for lunch.
The atmosphere is great because this place is USC-themed with posters and pictures plastered from wall to wall, 10 sports TVs (including 2 large projectors), and table booths in cardinal and gold colors. A must visit for USC fans. There are lots of tables so I can just eat lunch while using my laptop. There are four food stations: salad bar, daily special, deli sandwiches, and grilled burgers.
Unfortunately, the food taste is immensely lacking. I ordered a grass fed beef cheeseburger (6.50) with fries and drink ($3 extra). The beef patty was extremely dry and has little to no juices. The bun seems to be brioche, but even that was dry and a bit stale. The burger came with a beef patty, cheese, lettuce tomato onion. It desperately needed sauce such as mayo, chipotle, or thousand island dressing. It was lacking flavor so much that I added A1 steaksauce on it. The fries were decent and were long large cuts. They were fried well and had some soft fries, which are my favorite. The drinks come with refills and your choices are soda fountain, four different juices, powerade station, or milk. read more
