If you’re new to Merrimack this year, you’re probably still figuring out which campus foods will become your go-to choices and which will go on the avoid list. One thing everyone can agree on food-wise: the desserts in Sparky’s are always a win and never a skip. But you can’t fill up on sugary and chocolatey goodness for every meal, so here are some of The Beacon’s go-to Sparky’s eats:
- Bagel bar (When it’s an option, it’s THEE option)
- Mac ‘n cheese (so cheesy and so vastly improved over previous Merrimack Dining versions)
- Fried chicken (especially when it’s paired with the mac ‘n cheese and cornbread)
- Stir fry (don’t be afraid to try the different sauces!)
- Pizza (we love the cool and creative topping rotations happening these days)
- Sandwich bar (pair it with a side salad and some fruit from the salad bar)
- Gyro bar (don’t be shy about adding hummus, tzatziki sauce, and veggies)
Another word of advice: sometimes the key to a good meal at Sparky’s is hopping from station to station and building your own food combos. The ability to customize your plate and sample different items are two of main benefits when you pick Sparky’s over Monica’s and The Den.
Happy eating, Warriors!
