Parkside is the best dining hall at usc, great food, ambience, and the staff is really friendly
Always my kids favorite dorm dining spot at USC. Fight on!
I enjoyed eating at parkside you have good options and the food is good
Among the best food on campus. Some of the Pakrside breakfast is memorable. They often have happy people there at this dining hall. 10/10.
The food is so good here, it’s always different so there’s no way you can get tired of this place. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. They have the most beautiful worker there, Kim. The food will bring you in, but Kim’s smile will keep you coming back.
First time going to eat there after working on campus for over 6 years ! Food is decent, you eat buffet style so can get whatever you want on the line.
The staff is a great team to work with and we make delicious food for all of our guests.

They have buffet style. But sometimes they take a little long to get more food out.

Food is generally good, but not very exciting. Rice is usually way over or under cooked.
Really good for a campus dining hall. All you can eat, usually good specials. Great deserts.
for fall of 2022 this place was great but they're very unreliable. They almost always have fries and serve diverse foods compared to the other two cafeterias. Sometimes the food was unacceptable and even near dangerous. A couple time the meat, namely the pork and chicken, wasn't cooked thoroughly enough and seemed hella sus. I got food poisoning from their tofu there once. It's the best cafeteria to go to if you want to fill a hole.
for visitors, it is $20 buffet. food is nice. many young people.
Good food, but if you eat there everyday you'll get tired of the non-variety. Not to say that it's bad though, because it is very tasty food.
Food quality widely depends on the menu. They serve great Indian food.

I really enjoy the staff. They are very kind and always trying to take care of you. Thank you to the staff for all they do in keeping the place clean. My three star rating is due to the menu and some of the ingradients used. For the price of this dining hall the quality of meats could definitely be improved. Additionally the menus could be improved. They consistently have days individuals will love all their menu option and other days the menu options are not popular at all. If they did a little bit more work on the types of foods individuals are enjoying they could definitely benefit alot.

Ran out of food and clean silverware. I prefer Everybody's Kitchen dining hall.
Food is good occasionally. Most of the times it's bad.

Out of vanilla ice cream, again. I’m tired of the lack of variety. I don’t like chocolate ice cream but love vanilla, and yet they are always out of it.
The ice cream always closes way before time even though I’m paying the full price. Today I walked up to the machine while two people were still getting ice cream and an employee steps right in front of me and says it’s already closed even though i was already there. :(
