Portion sizes are a fraction of the daily expectation for physically active young men and women. Specifically the protein serving for the dishes compared to a plateful of crunchy rice. The only items worth getting are restricted one per person regardless of seconds. But thank God they put in an ice cream bar, that sure is a healthy choice. This is the only chowhall on base and you’ll see less than 30 Marines eating here at a time on any given night because it’s so ridiculous. This is a comical failure of leadership and base command be ashamed of themselves, though I doubt they will. The civilian staff is very kind and professional

The food is heinous especially during evening chow. The only thing they serve is chicken and rice. Chicken is insanely dry. Rice is overcooked. The portions during the evening are horrendous.

Was stationed there in 2019 and judging by the reviews right now it seems nothing has changed besides 10 mil getting dumped in that hell hole. Buy a hot plate boys and meal prep yourselves

I love going to the chow hall for lunch until recently. They just changed the way they serve chicken which is my main source of protein sustaining my 1st class pft and cft. They used to offer a chicken wrap with bacon and now it is no longer an option. They also changed the chicken patty they used to serve in the chicken sandwich. I am no longer finding myself wanting to go to the chowhall as much and find myself discouraged everytime I do.

look, you can’t make marines happy, and that’s why the anderson chow hall is so poorly rated. however, it has been the highlight of my rimpac 2024 mcbh experience. the food might not be something to write home about, but every time i eat here i get plenty of food spanning all of my micro and macronutrients. clearly a lot of people work very hard to produce a lot of food replete with variety, condiments, desserts, and even dunkin donuts coffee. for the swipe of a cac card, the anderson chow hall is hard to beat.

We once broke into the chow hall back in '05 And we took one bite out of each range bag nasty that was prepared, disgusting ham and cheese sandwiches. We stopped eating at that depressing slop trough after the first deployment. Never again. I'm sorry Andy, your name has gone in vain. Laquisha slopping your food on a tray does you no justice

Worst chow hall I’ve ever been in the service is pitiful, food is impossible to eat, and the atmosphere is unhygienic. I honestly wish there was a way to leave negative stars.

By far the worst chow hall in the Marine Corps. Workers are rude beyond explanation. This ticket system is ridiculous so ridiculous that in fact when you ask the simple question as to why they can’t even give you an answer. When the commandant of the Marine Corps asks the age old question why is retention so low? Well it’s because of this garbage, good for nothing chow hall.
The chicken is okay if it isn’t dryer than the Sahara Desert on a hot summer day. Most of the employees are extremely rude and work very slow. The portions are ridiculous, they give you a piece of meat that couldn’t satisfy a toddler and then enough dry, hard rice to feed an entire African village for the next 7 years of famine. The ticket system is ridiculous, it really showcases the fact that their goal is not to feed servicemembers but rather to be stingy nail biters whose only desire is to line their pockets with DoD funding. Honestly the worst chow hall I have ever been to, some field chow halls top this one. Pvt Anderson would be rolling in his grave if he lived to see the defamation to his name that is Anderson Chow Hall.
Friendly reminder that roughly $400 per marine per month is paid towards this atrocity. And there is a sign out front that states that nearly 10 MILLION DOLLARS was put into renovating the facilities. What a disappointment, I’m sure if tax payers saw what their money is going towards they would share my disappointment.

the food here might as well give me 100% disability. never have i seen chicken cooked properly. cockroaches add more seasoning then the workers, i highly recommend leave the cooking to the cockroaches. the only thing the workers care about is the attire in which people are wearing, if they spent as much time cooking as they do patrolling for belts, the line wouldnt be so long. also tell me why i cant get a ticket to go after i already ate in, im a 205 pound hard working individual, i think i should be allowed to get more sustenance than a toddler. respectfully.
