I will eat here for 7 weeks as I am in a summer camp pando is highly recommended, the food even if sometimes they are a little bland, you can not get bored of eating here, they have a lot of food there, the drinks are very good, they have natural drinks and soft drinks of all kinds, coffee and tea also should be clarified. is a place where I will not get tired of eating.
Note:
(If you are a foreigner it is highly recommended that you bring with you some Pepto Bismol pills because the food is prepared with a lot of seasoning and falls quite heavy especially the first few days, you can also lighten it by eating fruit before each meal and with glasses of water, but I still recommend bringing them in case of discomfort).
Vegetarian options: have a wide variety of fresh vegetarian dishes of all kinds, as well as a variety of fruits and beverages.
Wheelchair accessibility: The building and all the facilities are adapted to accommodate and serve people in wheelchairs.

Food is good but service can get really overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Pines is in the middle of campus so a lot of people go there. Most times is easier to order well in advance.
Vegetarian options: Not too many but there's at least a small variety

As a second year student, Pines is one of the more chillaxed dining hall with the best comfort food. I always go for hEAT and order 1) chicken fried rice, 2) Korean pork yum yum bowl, 3) oyakodon chicken, or 4) mapo tofu noodle (not pictured). Toasted is good too, but since this dining hall is at the center of Muir, there’s easy access to a market. Nothing out of this world, but its reliable selection makes it the ideal cafeteria.

A lot of tasty food, but very unfriendly to vegan and people with allergy. None of the food have individual labels. Some stations have a screen showing the food items names and allergy labels, BUT the list is not updated and not accurate. For example, They write that they have vegan eggs ans tofu scramble but they actually don’t. None of the desserts have allergy labels — I ask a few staff but they also don’t know.

It's a college dorm cafeteria. Food is edible, perhaps decent variety but not much to it. Bus your own dishes. I mean what can you expect?

Overpriced, undercooked, distasteful food
I debated giving it a 4 or 5 star. It's a nice place to eat, but no more than that. I had some recommendations from someone, and they were good. Aside from those few dishes the ones I randomly decided to try were okay. Prices ranged from $9-$14 depending on what I ate.
