Nice dining experience overall, though as is often the case with college dining halls, the quality is a bit inconsistent. Service is highly variable, I’ve had some good experiences, numerous neutral experiences, and a few downright bad experiences, but it’s mostly been ok. The food is usually good, though it can be somewhat variable too; I’ve had some of the best college dining hall food I’ve ever had and some of the worst I’ve ever had at this place, though again most of the time it’s pretty good.
I also really like the dining atmosphere here, it’s got a nice chill & relaxed vibe, if you don’t mind the background noise of the music, and everyone else’s conversations during busy hours.
My biggest complaint as a college student is the lack of outlets to plug in one’s phone or laptop. There’s only three outlets that I’m aware of, and only two of those work, and only one of those is practically accessible. I like to hang out and study here on weekends when it’s much easier to get a table next to the one good outlet.

Read moreIt’s one of GMU’s cafeterias. The food was okay. Just enough flavor to accommodate everyone’s taste buds I guess. The place is nice. Good selections. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, vegetarians, fruit and salad bar, ice cream, variety of beverages, dessert bars, and more. If you’re a student here, will you enjoy dining here every day? Though, I think most of the foods here are just fillers for growing young adults, they have everything kids are craving for most of the time. If they get tired of this place, the good thing is that they have other dining halls to go to. If nothing else, there’s always the fruit and salad bar to reset their taste buds. 😊 The best thing here is the service with a smile even if...
