Dining Facility — Restaurant in Fairbanks

Napoleon once said "An army marches on it's stomach". If that's the case, 1/25 SBCT isn't going anywhere.

The food is mediocre, the services sucks and the hours are limited especially on the weekends.

Breakfast is good. No complaints about it, in fact it is actually pretty good. Lunch is hit or miss but dinner sucks most of the time. I've never been to a dfac that runs out of supplies more than this one. Drink machines are almost always out of multiple beverages, coffee is never available and it's not uncommon for them to be out of food on one entire side. Of course, this normally only happens at dinner when soldiers not getting BAS are the only ones eating there.

The service is what really makes this a crappy place to eat. There can be a super long line and yet there is no sense of hurry from the cooks. Most E-4's, but not all, seem to think it's beneath them to help serve food and prefer to just stand and "supervise" everybody else.

Hours are also an issue at the Dfac. Nobody wants to go to dinner at 1600 on...

I must say, my recent dining experience at the Army facility nestled amidst the frigid embrace of the Arctic was nothing short of remarkable. The establishment's commitment to culinary excellence amidst such harsh environs is truly commendable. Upon entering, one is enveloped in an ambiance of camaraderie and warmth, a welcome respite from the biting chill outside. The fare presented was not only hearty but also exquisite in its preparation, a testament to the skill and dedication of the kitchen staff. From piping hot stews to perfectly roasted meats, each dish was a symphony of flavor, expertly crafted to satisfy both palate and soul. Furthermore, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was promptly attended to. In sum, my visit to this Arctic dining haven was an experience to cherish, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any traveler in search of sustenance and solace amidst the icy vastness...

They change their time frames almost every month, their food is not always fresh as they use what was left of the last meal for the next meal(un-preserved in-between), any time they have chicken it's either not cooked fully or dry like paper, the white gravy is watered down with a 40:60 ratio, their biscuits are 90% of the time bricks(yeast is not supposed to be treated this way), drink fountain is not maintained 80% of the time. This is by far the least cared for DFAC, no love goes into the food as you can taste the difference between good food and food cooked by people who don't care along with the fact that time frames are not set in stone. I refused to leave a review for the longest time, but...
