Differences among restaurant, cafeteria and food court (place on campus for students)
A place serving meals for students is to be named. It has a buffet and food stands, and offers seats. How do I name it? Is it a restaurant, cafeteria or food court? What's the difference? Whatever it is, can I put the word "Student" together with it, like Student Restaurant, Student Cafeteria and Student Food Court (the name is for a signboard)?

Thank you very much!

Answer

Food court would be the best choice because it is serving a selection of food from different vendors and there is a general sitting area.  Student food court can be used but if you are in the middle of a university campus, it is not needed.
