Bruce Mess Hall

This place made me realize how good we had it in Camp Lejeune. Here the staff even seemed disappointed to be serving the food. They try to be friendly and it’s probably not their fault but I really hope someone of importance start reading the reviews and find ways to make this place more like the “chicken shack” or the “double-decker” chow halls in Camp Lejeune. I understand that there are less SINGLE service members on this base compared to others but Damm this place is bad. They seriously need to fix this place the only meal I’ve actually finished was the omelette option. Not even the drinks from the Fountain!! were good🤮

The staff seem pleasant enough. The atmosphere is pretty dark for a mess hall, but usually not busy. The food quality is fairly hit or miss, usually a miss. Veggies are extremely over cooked. Twice now in the few times I've been here they've run out of their main courses well before closing time. Their taco night ran out of tacos in 45mins or less, and they seemed to not want to restock things like sliced bread halfway through the dinner hours. Very weird.

Typical military chow hall. Lousy selection of food choices. Dark and dingy. Needs a face lift.

Absolutely incredible that there were people who created a cohesive thought that is this god forsaken chow hall.

I am consistently served raw food or, as many others will agree as well, that they serve meatloaf almost EVERY SINGLE DAY with very little variety.

They had paninis for a little while which was a big hit and everyone started to come back until they took it away. Now everyone comes to this chow hall for special events for when they actually try minus the barracks Marines whose poor souls have to go to this hell everyday.

Undercooked omelets, steaks were still mooing and the cheese was moldy sometimes. I would never eat here again after 3 years. There’s also a lady in there with attitude as well.

It is a very nice place

Friendly staff but lower quality food than what I’ve come to expect from Marine Corps chow halls. You’ll find better dining down in Lejeune or overseas, but you’re still not getting a bad deal for only a few bucks.

Saul roaches bathrooms were not that clean.

The place is horrible. The staff are rude. They refuse to answer simple questions, they are messy with how they serve people, and have bad attitudes toward the service members who come to eat. Don't come here. Ever. I only come here because my paycheck is cut for this place automatically. Even if I don't come here, they take my money every month.

Food is ok. 2 stars because most of the staff is kind of rude, except for a couple of exceptions. Bruce Hall is definitely one of the worst mess hall I have personally been to in my experience.

Also the scullery machine sometimes takes awhile to fill. I think the government or Sodexo should give us a new building. I have been working there for 17 years different building besides 2000 back then. Not trying to be mean or anything but this place needs major repair work!

The food is good. The mangers are good except that the pot shack machine has been broken for months. So Sodexo or Hobart either needs to take that machine out or get it fixed!

As chow halls go this one is on point so far. Plenty of selection on the main line plus a fresh salad bar and made to order grill items. Check out the sandwich line around the far end too.
