Breakfast and lunch are pretty good during the weekdays, but weekends meals are disappointing.

Well, I actually work in the cafeteria right now. It's a small school, so there are not that many options honestly, but the food is decent. There is a salad bar which is pretty good, as is the sandwich line, and ice cream station. I honestly wish there was more fruit, but I can't really complain.

The food is not the best, but there are plenty of selections so you're always bound to find something you'll like to eat in the caf.

Some people complain about the food, but I think they do a good job. There is a grill line and sub line in addition to the main lines, and the food has improved significantly even since I've been here.

The dining hall is a pleasant atmosphere for community, and although it seems like a requirement for college students to complain about the food, there is a decent variety and the staff are friendly.

Honestly, even though I am so sick of cafeteria food, our cafeteria is pretty legit for what it is. It's no Olive Garden, but it's one of the best college cafeterias I've seen.
