    The food in the cafeteria is awesome. There are different varieties of food and drinks you can choose from. It is also bar full of different fruits and salads if you want to stay on the diet side.

    The food is horrible here. MVSU only have two places where a person can eat: Checkers and the cafeteria. Students mostly choose Checkers. This school needs more varieties.

    The food and dining is kind of good but not that bad. I can get use to eating the cafeteria food when I don't have nothing in my room to eat.

    The food is great on Wednesday and Friday. The soul food is on Wednesday with fried chicken, bake chicken, greens, yams, corn bread, mac & cheese. Friday lunch includes fried catfish, baked fish, and green beans.
