Food is dangerous to eat. There are no ingredients lists posted, and cross contamination of many foods is evident. When allergies are brought to the attention of the food staff, the staff brushes them off. It is a well-known rule on campus to never eat the chicken, and to stay away from meats in general due to improper cooking. Food is rarely fresh, especially the deserts and salad bar. It is left out all day to rot and is still served to students and guests. During important events where many guests are expected in the dining hall, the staff will set out fresher food and more accurate signs. This is not to say that the food is fresh or accurately labelled, but the quality noticably improves. Such events include career fairs, parents visits, and the weekly Campus Kids visits. Many students avoid eating in the dining hall for various reasons, but most reasons are due to health concerns and the disgusting food.

Forcing students to eat here should be considered a war crime. This is unsurprising considering Sodexo’s (the catering company) propensity for international crime. I wouldn’t feed this food to my worst enemy, there are simply more efficient ways to kill people.

Food is horrible. Meat is almost always undercooked. Food is not labeled when allergens are present. Not diet friendly for vegan/vegetarian people. Also bad if you have any digestive issues. And let’s not forget that everything is somehow wet and dry at the same time.

The quality of food is bad, and the preparation of the food is worse. When your food isn’t still raw, it’s charred to a crisp. Sometimes it’s both. Wish I could give 0 stars.

The food quality is inconsistent and regularly downright abysmal; its often inedibly overcooked or dangerously undercooked, unseasoned, and disgustingly grewsy. The allergen and dietary restriction options are abhorrent. They regularly label a spread of varied desserts as “may contain tree nuts” when only one dessert is applicable and the “tree nut” is peanuts… a legume. Further, allergen and nutritional is virtually nonexistent, and cross contamination is rampa

Student here at Mines, food has definitely improved since all the One-Star reviews were left (all from a looong time ago), there’s definitely room for improvement, but a good place for first-time freshmen to eat, or at least a good place to eat occasionally if you can buy your own food to cook during the week

The chicken has more sodium than you should have in an entire week! I almost died on the first bite.

They some how cook out the nutrients so you feel even worse than before you ate there.

All the reviews are from a year ago, and having lived on campus for that long I completely understand why they’re all 1 star. That said, I still gotta say, it’s cheap as far as buffets go, and although you usually won’t find super quality food, at the very least you’re guaranteed to leave full.

While the food has definitely improved in quality over the past year, I still feel disappointed by nearly everything I’ve had eating here.
