I had better meals from MREs in the middle of nowhere in Australia at 107 degrees & with sweat dripping into my meal.

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.

Every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to Anderson Chow Hall, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, NCOs gather to scream at me. "Where's your belt?!, No seconds to-go!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It grts tight, and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see that chow hall again! The salads aren't bad though, but the mac salad has no flavor.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. For starters what sense does it make that I can’t grab seconds to go. You are telling me that I have to grab my first meal to-go and then I have to eat my seconds in your sad and depressing establishment, has anyone ever thought of “what if I’m not hungry anymore?” Then I have a whole tray that goes to waste. What happens to all the people that eat after 6pm why cant they have some extra food to eat afterwards? Secondly, your whole ticket system is more retarded than some of the “nco’s” that work there. If the argument for the tickets is due to funding, the system should be able to tell you the amount of people that eat at Anderson on a daily basis. Not to mention that you need to grab a to-go ticket for a burrito which means you can’t grab to-go seconds for the day, especially for the weekend when food is only served twice a day. I truly sympathize for the good junior marines and civilian workers that work there and its sad to see that they are slowly getting corrupted by such atrocious chain of command that is blindsided due to it being led mostly by NCO’s that just sit on their phones and do nothing. Very surprised that this hasn’t been brought up in command surveys.

Gotta start off by admitting that I’m a fairly easy pleaser. The meal I had (breakfast) was fine. Nothing a little hot sauce and salt couldn’t invigorate! The bananas were in pretty bad shape though. Not really yellow or green. Just sorta… dull. Like the light in the eyes of the workers. The PFC behind the omelette grill told me that one could get just two eggs per pink ticket. It used to be three! Funny, the places costs are cut to save money. Not when negotiating bloated contracts for the zillions of dollars of gear we’ll never use… but the chow hall. Ah, and the roads. The streets surrounding Anderson chow hall are plagued with potholes. Some air winger was telling me once that there’s a screw, or a nut, or some other piece of trivial hardware on the Osprey that costs hundreds of bucks. Perhaps we could appeal to the patriotism of the company that sells those nuts for a military discount? 15% off, and we could get an extra egg for every troop, some healthy bananas, and an asphalt crew to come pave the roads.

Disgusting. The food is undercooked yet always somehow burnt. There’s no flavor, the veggies are made of rubber and the only barely-decent thing is the chicken but even that is pink and raw. Also, roaches are rampant and the workers are horrible.

Place honestly sucks all around the food portion would feed a child, they only have a single worker work one of two choices so if you go at a reasonable time your waiting on like for 40 mins waiting for some undercooked unseasoned food that makes you drink a gallon of water just to choke it down. There breakfast is alright if you get there as soon as they open.

Military Chow Hall, you can't expect a fence restaurant. Honestly i think is pretty decent!
S*** food I'd rather eat the cardboard a homeless person slept on for the past 3 years
Steven Weldon
The amount of depression that radiates here is astronomical. They keep one line open only for you to get half a serving with veggies straight out the can and rubber. The desert is bricks with frosting. The breakfast is the only thing that is satisfying here.

I hope whoever came up with the ticket system steps on a lego. the local employees here are extremely disrespectful and constantly in a bad mood. the food served here is normally undercooked or burnt to hell and there is no such thing as flavor in this place. definitely the worst chow hall i have eaten at in five years.DO BETTER @Anderson chow hall staff
Fernandito Sulsona
Worst Chow hall ever. Some of the workers are useless and give you attitude (especially in the mornings). The food is bad and portions are ridiculous. God forbid you ask for more food on your plate. Ticket system??? Get rid of that. I just want to eat inside and take my seconds back to my room. Every time I go inside the chow hall, a little bit of soul leaves my body due to how depressing the atmosphere is
