I encountered an unfortunate incident while leaving the dining center with two bananas. As I exited, a staff member followed me and accused me of taking food without permission. (she explained she was the manager) I explained that I only had two bananas, to which she responded that she was aware of my actions and confirmed that the bananas were the only items I was carrying. This exchange made me feel uncomfortable, especially as other students were present and watching.When I asked about the policy, the staff member asked for my name. As an individual, I felt it was not necessary to provide my name in this situation, particularly as I was not aware of any wrongdoing on my part. I noticed that other students had also taken food without issue, which made me question why I was being singled out.Earlier, when I parked my vehicle in front of the dining center Ike's, an that same lady approached me and informed me that I was not permitted to park in the area. I asked for clarification and requested to see a sign or notice indicating the parking restriction, but unfortunately, the individual was unable to provide any evidence.I personally think she should not be a manager at this particular place. I have many friends who support my idea because it's not appropriate for her to chase after students and take away the food they are carrying. In this instance, two bananas.I wanted to bring this up to you as my superior to ensure that this does not happen to me or any other student in the future. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns and for addressing the issue accordingly.

The one star is cause they're open 24/7. Apart from that, all of the food except the tater tots are bad. Also rumor has it the ranch dressing is something else.

The food is usually bad. Aside from the ground meats and chicken breasts, the meats are really dry. Ice cream has a mid texture. That's not even all the criticism. There's so much wrong with the food. The only reason why it's not 1 star because it's not terrible and they occasionally have some good stuff.

As far as college dining goes, Ike’s is quite good, though to be fair “college dining” is not exactly a high bar. The food is usually quite tasty, and most meals there’s a good selection of options. However, the service is highly variable; I’ve had a decent amount of good experiences but also a handful of bad ones.My biggest complaint is that since you aren’t serving yourself, you have little to no control over the portion sizes the servers give you. I’ve had someone heap my plate until the food was nearly falling off, which is usually way more than I want to eat, but also sometimes have someone give me these tiny, almost “sample size” portions of each item that add up to like half a meal. I’ve found that, while I can usually get more if I ask, trying to say “that’s enough” is surprisingly difficult due to the large amount of background noise; often the server doesn’t hear what I’m saying until they’ve already put the food on my plate.Another thing worth noting is that there is often a lot of background noise, which depending on your preferences can be a benefit or a problem. Personally I find it can be helpful when trying to study, but some people could find it overwhelming.

Vegetarian options: Always some vegetarian options, but the amount and quality can vary day to day.

If you’re a student who has late finals and depends on the dinning halls for food, just be aware that they absolutely give up serving well quality food by the last week. Both dinning halls also have a pattern of being awful on the weekends.
