i’ve been here twice for odyssey of the mind world’s at isu and i can definitely say that the food is great! i love the fine selection of potatoes offered in the mornings (TATER TOTS TATER TOTS TATER TOTS and home fries but whatever) but the food in general is pretty good. there is a nice variety to choose from and the menu rotates as to avoid repetition. would recommend 🙂 anyways i want some TATER TOTS

The best dining center on campus nowadays, by far. Still a little overpriced (if you’re paying cash) but honestly the food is reasonable quality and is about what I would expect from a mid-level restaurant in general. Tofu was surprisingly good, would recommend.

best food on campus, especially if you’re vegetarian. their menu rotates quicker than other dining halls but that doesn’t matter to me, i just get to eat my favorites more often!

Great food compared to the other dining halls on campus. Healthy options, consistently does not run out of food or silverware, and you do not see the same dish twice in one week. The only possible negative is that the drink options are not that extensive.

terrible place to eat. They literally served hot cheetoh dust with lasagna. Like who does that?? Who would have the audacity to think of that combination and think that’s okay. on top of that the food is near expiration so if you try to take it home you have less time to eat it then Wendy Winterstein allows to pay back student loans. overall this place is pretty bad and would not recommend.

Honestly, this is one of the less desirable dining halls here at Iowa State University. The inside is nice and comfertable, and the staff are nice, but it is quite small. Small dining centers do not have many food options, which I have found to be true at Window’s. I did not really care for the options there the few times I’ve gone, so I would very highly recommend checking the menu before dining there. It’s not terrible, there are just better dining centers at Iowa State, in my opinion.

Tons of options here, but sometimes the dishes available are a bit different. However, I once had the “italian sausage and kale” soup here and it was probably the best dish I have had at any of the dining halls.

Usually a safe bet if you don’t know what you’re feeling. Or if you’re weird like me and just get pizza every time.

Try Powermilk today – the power drink for the whole family! Powermilk is made from the finest Powerade and chocolate milk ISU dining has to offer. One sip of Powermilk will get you the power you need to get through the toughest challenge.

Food was bland, had essentially no flavor. However it looked beautiful and was cooked quite well.
