★★★★★ 5.0 Devon Geiser · Sep 2025

Genuinely have not had a bad meal here since school as started. The variety of options is better than the majority of the food halls. They have great gluten free options for those that need it

★★★★☆ 4.0 Rose Hinata · Jan 2026

Best place to eat, better than a lot of restaurants

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lou · May 2025

The pizza is first class. They keep making them every 20 minutes. This dining hall is known for its Asian selection, with rotating Indian, Korean, and Chinese. It's also constantly open between lunch and dinner. Asian station closes between, but stir fry is always open. Excellent fruit selection with melons, strawberry, grapes. Pancakes is available only in the morning. Lots of hard, soft ice-cream choices. Very limited options on weekends. Always available are ceramic plates. Hot and cold water available to drink. Although forest has less selection than mcnut, mcnut doesn't have asian food. The taste of the food is average, with its pizza being the best. Their advantage is their available hours, pizza, and fruits

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kay Moriarty · Feb 2024

Decent food, but hard to get around in dining hall. Also, in the mornings, they often don't open up the seating rooms...which is what they're for... thus leaving people who want to eat breakfast having to sit right against someone uncomfortably at a tiny table. I mean it's campus food that's convenient, and a lot of the workers are super nice so I don't want to complain too much. I just don't see the point of locking up the rooms with more tables and taking napkin boxes off of tables.
