This place friggin sux I pulled this out of the trash expecting something good, and all I got was this trash... The afterbirth that came out of my mother probably tasted better than what they serve here :( XD D; all things considered 6/7

This place is amazing for the price. You pay less than 11 dollars for all you can eat and the food is great. They have multiple options so that everyone eats. They have a salad bar, pizza bar, grill bar, flavored waters, soda machine, ice cream machine, dessert bar, and more. I am here for residency and I am sad that I am leaving soon because I would eat lunch here everyday if I wasn't doing school online. Would recommend to any parents or friends that come in to town

Variety of foods to choose from with every meal. Their hours during the summer are odd though

C

Staff are great in maintaining sanitary and safety procedures. The food are handled by the servers who have gloves, face masks and hair nets. Food availability was limited to burger, pizza, pasta, salad and dessert as it was Sunday. Food tasted good.

Food here is good and fresh. It is not a Dining Hall where the cooks put their minimum work into the food. Employees are very much friendly and nice. Love going here would definitely recommend others. Best times to go is breakfast and dinner.

Broke a tooth from gristle in one of their sausages. I see they don't serve them anymore, so I must not have been the only one. Their food is awesome (for the price). I love the dining hall, broken tooth and all. 😁

It's self serve but the food is so good! You pay at the door and get what you want to eat and you can go back for seconds. You need your student or faculty ID when you enter. There's a large sitting area and then you clean up after yourself. Parking is a bit of a walk but if you're already on campus it's no big deal.

Given this is a dining hall for students at Lamar University, the place was stellar. Food is pretty good and plentiful at any given time. As expectedected it is a hectic place during the early afternoon which is understandable. Staff is super friendly and helpful. If I were living on campus I would not minding hitting this spot for lunch or dinner. Todays selection was quite sparse given the start of the new semester.

D
David Fulcher

Honestly my favorite place on campus. It's cozy, the staff are nice, and the food is usually pretty good. Pizzas are handmade, everything else is pretty standard. But it's really nice to go and get a hot meal, sit down and watch a YouTube video or work on homework while I eat

All you can eat. Ok food. A decent price. Service is lack luster at best.

The staff are friendly, and the drink & dessert selections are plentiful. As four of our children have attended Lamar University, we have had the opportunity to eat in the dining hall often over the last several years. We have noticed that the quality and especially quantity of the entrees has varied greatly based on the day (special events warrant better food) and time (off peak hours leave little for students to eat). Because the price of the meals throughout the semester remain the same, the quality and quantity of the entrees should reflect cost.

J
Jordan Davis

Very good pricing and ease of use. Not a place for picky eaters. However it is all you can eat and the selection vary daily.

L
Liz O

Good and bad experiences. Inconsistent food quality and some less than positive interactions with staff. A couple times I had some under-cooked food, but most of the time it was overcooked and swimming in grease, I had come across dirty plates and silverware more times than I can count.

Creepy place for eating. I don't know when they are open and when they are closed. Every time I went there, I see they are running on low food. Not too many food items served here.

D
Dylan Johnson

Meh at best, have had friends get sick multiple times eating the meat from there they have an option of a salad bar but more often than not the vegetables have passed. Not sure if its because they aren't funded enough or what but overall bad

Only the kind of person (reviewer below) who thinks it's spelled 'Argroten' potatoes would give this place five stars. If you're a classic Walmart-American with no class and the palate sophistication level of a lizard, you'll love the food here. Yes, it can be described as 'hot and ready' - and that's about all.

C

The food is bland, they are usually closed during the times I want to go, good luck if you like to eat mid day or at night. If you are a healthy eater unless they have chicken or meatloaf good luck getting your protein in and calories low.

This place used to be a lot better than what it is now. Entry price has increased from $7 to $9. They’ve changed things to make the dining hall more profitable rather than convenient for students. They don’t allow takeout anymore, you have to buy a plastic takeout box for $6 and either bring it back or buy another one. They replaced the to-go coffee cups with these tiny plastic non-to-go cups that only hold about 4oz and spill easily. Both creamers were empty. 3/4 milks were empty. Only milk available is fat free (which just turns to sugar). Salad dressings empty. all at 11am, unprepared for the lunch rush. What happened to this place?

S
Savannah Anderson-Bledsoe

Hardly any food out during breakfast time. The students who were in there looked disappointed. I haven't been on campus in several years, so I was shocked to see how much has changed. I barely got anything to eat. Maybe the dining times have been adjusted. I was there from 10AM to 11AM and hardly any food was out, though.

Dylan Armstrong

I’m not sure why the reviews are so positive here but this was my experience . I was a student at the university (2014-2018) and I must say that the place is utter trash. I regretted getting a meal plan every time I went into that place. The food was not good at all and the selection was even worse. If you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle then I don’t suggest coming here. All they had was pork and beef. The vegetables were often times over cooked and good luck getting anything to eat on the weekends after 2pm. Do NOT take a meal plan here because you won’t get your money’s worth. More times than not, I would have to eat off campus because the food at dining hall was not good.If you are unlucky enough to eat here or don’t take my review seriously, be cautious about getting food here because the employees don’t watch out for flys or cross contamination. I often saw flys making a homesteads on food that was meant to be served.
