The Take
Order the carving station roast or grilled protein with vegetables and salad bar at On Top of the Palms. The MSC panorama and real meat stations make this weekday buffet worth the reservation hassle despite the usual university catering shortcuts.
Buffet format invites overreach on sauces and sides, but the exhibition protein setup gives you an escape hatch most campus spots lack.
The Verdict
Book the window table the day before and head straight for the carving station. Everything else on the line is standard buffet risk.
Order the carving station roast or grilled protein with vegetables and salad bar.
