    Buffalo State has a dining hall and a retail area where students can buy whatever they like. The dining hall is buffet style, but don't really switch the food. Usually its a lot of the same foods, so I spend a lot of time on the retail side. Meal cards also come in handy!

    Food and Dining randoms because lunch will be great then dinner is just plain tofu or junk in the resident dinning. Retail food such as Subway or Roots( Caribbean food store) and Train-Grill are the main attractions

    The food isn't the best I've had but the school tries. I like the food on the residential dining side better then the food sold on the retail side because the residential side has more for one to chose from.

    The food in the cafeteria is decent. They carry a lot of choices for the health conscious. It is slightly overpriced but most college campuses are.

    The food in retail dining is good, we have Starbucks and Spot Coffee for caffeine, Salsaritas and Subway, along with other restaurants for food. I've heard residence dining is good, too.
