Northern Lights Dining

If you don't have to pay it's worth it
Don't pay
Not worth it

Wow! They had so many options. Check their website to see what they offer for each meal daily. I got several servings of their vegan lasagna, crispy fries, chili, yogurt, chocolate milk, and everything was clearly labeled vegan!! What a luxury, all buffet style for $12 (lunch price for walk in/non student)

If you have any health standards whatsoever you do not belong here. If you want pink uncooked chicken, and pizza everyday. Food sucks 6/7 days a week. It would be one thing if it didn't cost 2k a person. No vegan on earth is gonna want their vegan heart attack fried food.

If you are okay with undercooked chicken, very old frozen food, and have time for the possibility of severe stomach pain directly following your visit … this is your place !!!

Depending on the day they have pretty good food, most of the Italian food is bland but everything else is good. It's a school cafeteria so expect students, but as a public restaurant there is more money for the school and staff. I recommend getting food here, most negative reviews I've seen are from students who get bored of repetitive food but that's not a good reason to hate on something good.

Vegetarian options: They have a restaurant in the dining hall dedicated to vegan food

Kid-friendliness: It's a school cafeteria

Wheelchair accessibility: They have both handicap parking spots and ramps inside the building for use

If I could out zero stars I would, pay over 2k for a meal plan I can barely use because the food is absolute garbage. Waste almost all the money I have and the $250 I get paid every two weeks, because the school won’t pay students more than $12 a hour knowing we’re only given 20 hours every two weeks and that $12 a hour is not enough (it’s $250 every two weeks, factor in the price of food itself because the dining hall is garbage and makes people sick, that money is gone almost immediately). NMU do better, your students don’t pay a ridiculous amount of money for little to no dining options and beyond poor quality of food. Somehow during parent weekend you can make the food edible but any other day it’s impossible.

The food is always good!

If I could give no stars I 100% wouldSo Inconsistent with there hours and shift change.Everytime after 2pm there is No food at Cutting board, 42°, And global.If you dont like the food they are serving at shift change Guess you're going to starve!Oh and the selection of food? Terrible, they rip off ethinic foods and it tastes Dreadful.So many students get food poisoning from the food and at the price we all pay? No thanks.DO NOT GO HERE!!!!IT IS NOT WORTH IT

honestly mediocre, usually get food poisoning but sometimes it’s a banger

Want good food, don’t come here. Want a very bare minimum meal that has no love in it go here. NMU Dining is so disappointing.

They have amazing food compared to some other colleges. Everything is always so we'll prepared and the staff is just amazing, if Ive ever had a problem it was correct on the spot with the utmost care and a lot of kindness

I go here. Before covid it was great. Now... feel lucky if two of the stations are open. The quality of food has gone down significantly to. As well as the size of the menu.(you'll find stir-fry, burgers, pizza and spaghetti 3-6 times a week. Granted they are low on staff, but I still pay the full price for the meal plan.

This place is okay the first time you have it, not great food but okay. But then you eat here every day and you realize that it’s the same food every single day. There’s no variation and the food selection is strange and very few people actually want what they have. That is, if they have it. Today I walked into the dining hall for dinner expecting a barely edible burger, undercooked chicken, and maybe some overcooked pasta. What did I get? Nothing. Empty countertops everywhere. I had to sit at an empty table for 15 minutes before I saw any food. Once I finally got my hands on some though, it arrived in the form of nachos. A very small portion of nachos and a very small selection of available toppings. This is by far the worst dining hall experience I have ever had.
