Sometimes it's really good. Most of the time I have my own food to eat because it's just not good/I can only get really repetitive meals. The spinach lasagna is soooo good. There aren't great vegetarian options. They usually have a tofu dish but they don't know how to cook it, so the texture of the tofu is usually pretty disgusting. However, I would try to get the Dr. Pepper and it's almost always empty. I usually get a salad and the spinach is sometimes just gross. Same with the other vegetables. It won't be rotting but it'll be a little too old to serve. The cookies tend to be overcooked slightly. I see the same people working all the time, so I wonder if them being overworked is why they seem a bit irritable most of the time. At least it's not a bunch of food w tons of preservatives? I gave it two stars because for the most part it's very average or below average.

Vegetarian options: The tofu is pretttyyyy gross. I love tofu but they rarely cook it well. It'll usually look like raw tofu with pesto or something like that but they don't cook it enough for it to get crispy on the edges, so it just looks like raw tofu with a sauce or dressing on it, and it's pretty gross. The vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled. The egg rolls are really good.

I have to say that after the country buffet has been closed down on the North side by lincolnwood this has got to be a great place to eat all you can eat. The food is not bad the food is actually pretty good they tend to have different dishes almost every other day. I do feel that the breakfast selection is a little short but it's fine.I'm wondering whether they're going to bring any international food into the services that we provide

The only way i can describe the food at the uc dining hall is disturbing. The. staff yells at me constantly for no reason, food is practically inedible I still have nightmares about the food to this day. My roommate came to school weighing at 120 pounds and after eating the dining hall food for 6 months she was obese. Poor quality vile food... run.

If it was possible to give this place 0 stars I would. The lettuce in the salad bar is brown everyday and the pasta tastes like plastic. I’m only there for the sweet potato tater tots.

Absolutely repulsive. They serve rotten foods (vegetables, chicken, meat, and fruits) their glasses have thick layers of dirt, the staff is rude and openly unwilling to serve you, they even used vulgar language against me a couple times. It is expensive, and it is disgusting. I have forgotten how many times I complained about it with the incompetent managers, but they never did anything to change. One other day, I had to run away as some person used pepper spray in the bathroom and it went all over the place through the vents, my girlfriend and I could not breath. Moreover, when I complained about this, the staff tried to intimidate me and never acknowledge their negligence at handling the situation. I still hate the place to this day.

I know people say college cafeteria food was bad, but Jesus Christ I didn’t expect it to be this bad
