251 North Dining Hall

This is on a college campus so a little noisy but food is good

gatekept the mint chip and tacos

Nice dining hall. They have The Dairy ice cream right next to the entrance, which was a pleasant surprise. They also have the soft serve ice cream machines that the Y does here.

Less busy and MD dairy ice cream!

The food isn't as good as Yahentamitsi nor is there as much selection.BUT it's much less crowded and it has real ice cream and milkshakesBeing less crowded makes the experience of eating there much more pleasant than Yahentamitsi.

Great diner to eat at. Clean and fresh food always! And great customer service go check out the 251 Diner

At a staggering $3,000 per semester, or a “mere” $9.50 per meal (if you eat three meals a day), you "can" (or rather, have to) purchase a UMD resident dining plan; it's as if they believe food is an extravagant concept best left to those with trust funds, but the highlight of this culinary extravaganza is the ability to essentially pay someone else to defrost your $3 Trader Joe's meal for you.

Excellent ?

Good price

251 used to be better. They've started only offering the same foods every single day. I can't come here and eat the same food every single day. Furthermore, they have the same 3 cold pizzas with the toppings piled up in the center and not spread properly. At one point, they made Asian food, but it was drenched in so much oil and it was completely unflavorful. The hours are terrible too. It opens at 8am which doesn't give me an opportunity to eat before my classes, and it closes at 8pm which doesn't give me an opportunity to eat after either.They can never cook rice properly. The rice seems unwashed, and when I try to eat it, it crushes in my mouth - it's uncooked or didn't get enough water. It's not too difficult to have the proper rice-water ratio.The section in the center of the dining hall is an area which has different options every day. Unfortunately, they're never good. There's some fried greasy vegetables, improperly cooked fish, unseasoned "ethnic" dishes, and overcooked, mushy, nasty-looking pasta with unseasoned sauces of questionable consistencies.Let's not forget the occasional food poisoning.Overall, the food at 251 is very suspicious and it makes me gag every time.

Amazing experience best food in college park for the price . Everything is included

A super nice place and very good food

This is surely one of the coolest place to eat in the area. Whenever I come there I am absolutely glad. They keep their high standard service and the topmost level of cooking they provide. You always win with this place. Warmly recommended.
