The food is consistent, sometimes consistently decent, and other times consistently underwhelming and lack of variety. It is still the best and closest option out of all of Berkeley dining halls considering how close it is to the dormitories.

Worst of the dining halls (but overall it's not bad), and quality of the food is very hit or miss. The times it’s bad, it’s very bad, but there are so many times when I’m completely loving the food. During my 4 years here at Cal, the place has gotten so much better. Honestly l’d much rather go here than Agrodolce Osteria. What I have to say is that I will genuinely defend Cal Dining no matter what. People should be grateful that they're getting fresh food that's relatively healthy.

The service, staff, and atmosphere are great. The food quality has been deteriorating over the past months. Last school year, they would have a wider and more experimental menu. They used to occasionally serve mango salsa salmon and roast beef. Nowadays, if you note down the lunch menu for a week, you will start seeing the same things repeating: Thai coconut curry chicken, pork pozole, tikka masala chicken, etc. The quality is decent, but the lack of variety is painful.
For $14, you can eat much higher quality food two blocks away.

The food is so good! There are lots of different options, and the menu changes daily, which keeps things interesting. I love that they offer a salad station, soups, hot meals, desserts, basically everything you could want. I’ve been having both breakfast and dinner here and have really enjoyed it so far. Definitely recommend!

Crossroads Dining Facility is my favorite place on campus. I spend about 80% of my waking time either in this building or in Cory Hall, and this place is definitely the better of the two. The other 20% of my time is spent reminiscing of my time in Crossroads Dining Facility. Although not everyone agrees, I am fully convinced that Crossroads is the best thing since sliced bread -- which they have in abundance of. I personally keep a piece of Crossroads on me at all times.
Tim is a professional. I couldn't tell the eggs were powdered.

Crossroads has all the elements of a perfect dining hall. Expansive, wide array of dining options, good salad bar, and a wide range of solid deserts. But every time you actually decide to go to crossroads, you end up sad and disappointed.

Food is hit or miss and it’s very noisy. However it’s not bad if you want to pound down a bunch of food and spend some time with friends. Can be quite messy and the lines can get up to an hour long. I do hate when you are limited to one piece of fish or one bowl of pho but overall it’s an alright place to get a meal.
Hit or miss, sometimes it’s good sometimes disappointing. I enjoy all dishes served from lemon grass kitchen, especially pho, definitely above average dishes served in xroads
