How hard is it to fix the ice machine. It has been broken since fall quarter and it is now week 3 of spring quarter. If it is not fixable, then buy a new one. The university has enough money for that. No one likes drinking warm soda. Also the ayer faucet is disgusting. This is where i’m supposed to be getting my water from??

It's good, pretty average as far as the UCSC dining halls go. It does stink like sewage outside, which is off putting.Vegetarian options: Same as everywhere else on campus. Clearly labeled options.

The food is pretty good for a dining hall. The hall it's reminds me of a high school cafeteria though. The servers are nice.

FOOD POISONING STUDENTS CONSTANTLY!!! Be completely aware this cafeteria is completely unable to cook food safely and properly. Myself and many friends have had multiple bouts of food poisoning from Porter cafeteria and the staff/management refuse responsibility and improved safety protocols. Please be careful if you eat here.

Best outside dining area on campus. Menu is generally accurate. Runs out of certain items fairly often tho

The food is okay. It really depends on your luck and the chefs mood. At least you can listen to the piano right?

Ethan Garrett

All dishes are paper, usually a very long line

Sebastian Melrose

The three sisters crave soup always hits. Squash, beans, and corn???. 8$ all you can eat. The salad bar is excellent. Grateful for this place. Had to take a moment to share

very nice, clean, lots of choices, but Cowell/ Stevenson dinning hall will always be better.
