Canyon Commons

*Update 1/14/25* Revising my review as the chefs are trying to make things better, the meals have been drastically improved over the past week and since this unfortunate review I posted about how thing were in Fall 2024. Hopefully this trend continues! New pic from dinner last night - chicken over rice, corn dog, curly fried and a cupcake. Original Post - 1 star review.... My daughter is a current student and she is having a very hard time eating at the cafeteria. The food is rarely edible and some of the practices are unsanitary. Given what I pay in tuition I would not expect this. I have provided the feedback but no improvement so had to post an honest review as these glowing reviews are just not accurate.

Taken into the context that this is a cafeteria, the food far exceeds the expectations. They have an absolute ton of food options, they buy from local farmers, they are actively trying to reduce waste as much as possible, there's even a subcommittee in student government devoted to improving services there. Sure, it's not really perfect, but for a cafeteria serving thousands of students, it is by far the best I've ever seen or heard off. Did I mention they are still finding ways to improve?

Here to drop off my oldest at college and we had dinner in the cafeteria. Barbecue chicken breast, mac n cheese, green beans, salad, and baked beans. Good dinner, nice clean place. I feel comfortable knowing this is where my son will spend his next year:)

The food service exceeded my expectations daily. A wonderful variety of locally-sourced meat and vegetables; Vegan and Gluten-Free options at every meal; soups made fresh daily; the progressive menu exposes students and staff to a wide array of cuisines and flavours.

It's okay. Nothing special.They serve the same food (except for a special) everyday. The kids complain that there is no variety. The Bruin Den, Canyon Commons and Brin Bites is all operated by the same restaurant so unless the students go off of camus there is no real option or variety.
