This is one of the better college dining halls. There has been a change in the chef over the last couple years, and for me it has been a negative. The former chef was more conscious of food preferences, and prepared dishes that not only meet some of those needs but also did so with a great level of care. Now, some of the vegetarian dishes are token canned veggies dressed up a bit. Don't get me wrong; I'm appreciative, but it's not the same. There was a curried veggie dish that was good, which was encouraging.
The selection is usually varied, and you can rely on some standbys as well. The service is great, and the cleanliness is wonderful.
Visited it the last time my wife and I were on campus. Very impressed with both the food diversity and the staff. The manager graciously gave us a tour to see how things have changed. Today's students don't realize how good they have it compared to when we were students. Alumni from 1969.
This place usually gets better every year. And every year that passes it only gets just a smidge better. It isn't a bad place to eat, do not get me wrong. Usually any buffet is good simply do to the fact that you can eat your fill till you are satisfied. The food made there is usually average or slightly below par. Once in a while something tasty will magically appear out of no where. And that is not a dessert item I am refering to. However, the menu is incredibly small each and every time you go there. I am suprised that students that study at the nearby college, who are basically forced to eat there unless they commute, get the proper nutritional needs fulfilled on a weekly basis. All it needs to be better is just to get good. And that is by expanding, having more food options, and making food that is consistantly good.
They try to make the food fancy and tell you it's good but in reality it is garbage. College students hate it but they still have to pay for it. Would rather eat Helen Keller's cooking.
