I arrived at 12:30 a.m. after a failed Space Available flight. I was the only patron and all the employees were cleaning. But, I was offered hot dinner leftovers and was grateful for that

As a recent Air Force retiree, I was happy to use a dining facility and was glad to see that the standards in cleanliness, service and quality of food is still high!

It is one of the best military dining experiences. The team cares about what they do and is always smiling.

Any branch of the military can purchase food at this healthy and cheap dining experience.

Vegetarian options: The salad bar is small and tiny, but very well-equipped with 3 salad bases, carrots, boiled eggs, mushrooms, croutons, etc.

Parking: The building is tucked in between the base gym and the post office.

Very kind staff and delicious food. The food is really good compared the the stuff I used to eat in the Army. Fun times and good value if your an old vet and wanna be creepy and skulk around on an active military base and catch the old dayz vibes. ? ?

$14 for a large salad, ONLY. Seems like Dining facilities are for profit. I'm not

Usually I find it wonderful, this time I was disappointed. The fish, although delicious, was dry. The top half came off, which was nice and moist. However, it's not the only place I've had fish on a buffet to come that way.

I gotta give it up to the dfac (FSS), I know sometimes things don't go accordingly but the food isn't bad in my opinion. I love the choices of healthy options and they got some pretty delicious pizza(Margarita pizza pictured) as you can see!

They keep it clean and friendly, and the selection is pretty decent. This is definitely a better-than-average chow hall.
