"Holmes has the best soup ever.. I can’t get enough, every soup is something new, it is so good every time. Every-time I see a soup bowl at the end of the salad bar I get so excited, I have never had a bad tasting soup here. Thank you to whoever makes the soups, especially that spicy meatball onion one I forgot the name of it..that one changed my life I had never had a soup like that before, I’ve been thinking about it since. Right now as I’m typing this I’m eating their broccoli cheddar one, and yes it is very good. Thank you Holmes one critique though is can you guys have at-least one whole milk? Instead of two 2% milk dispensers…why does this school only have 2% milk it’s hard to find whole milk here (sorry, I am very milk obsessed person. Whole milk isn’t my favorite milk but it is more milk than 2% milk) edit: THE CREAMY CHICKEN PESTO SOUP IS SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!! And the spicy coconut soup chicken soup that one is SO GOOD TOO!!! Whoever makes those soups, thank you it is SO DELICIOUS"

"the shrimp fried rice is great, they only open all the stations for lunch so it's a great lunch spot, it's seldom okay for dinner since there's only one station open and they change their dinner menu frequently"
