★★★☆☆ 3.0 Tony Wu · Dec 2025

It’s about time I review my closest dining hall. Most of the time, I come here for breakfast and dinner. Options for the former are pretty much the same in an AYCE style and are decent. There are other choices where you can make your own waffles, cereal, bagels, and the like. Snacks are plentiful and I appreciate that. Pastries are usually where it’s at though. You can also get soft serve if that’s your thing. Lunch is a rarity for me so I can’t say much about that. It is, however, the busiest time of the day and can make lines extremely long and not worth queuing up for. On the contrary, weekday breakfast and dinner hours are chill if you come at 7:00 am or 5:00 pm. Dinner is okay. I eat basically the same thing everyday: a bowl of stir fry, a sandwich, or a salad. Stir fry lacks flavo

The best dining hall in Boston University. I spent $17.55 for lunch, and it was worth it. U could eat halal food, plenty meat, and vegan meal. There were also many beverages such as coffee, chocolate milk, soft drinks, etc. For the dessert, there were ice cream, bagels, fruit, etc. Would love to go back to this place.

I love this place. As a BU student, this is a must-have experience either alone or with a group of friends. My most favorite item here is their coffee but everything else is amazing. I think their Sunday brunches is their best deal for about $11 you eat breakfast and lunch. They also have celebratory events and festivities such as Thanksgiving that they create representative foods. Very helpful staff. I am so glad we have such an amazing dining hall at Boston University. Thank you so much Boston University for caring about us deeply.

Not Recommended - A Disappointing Service Experience I visited the dining hall on December 13, 2023, at 1:30 PM. While waiting in line at the omelet station on the second floor, I was positioned between a white female student and a white male student. The black staff member cooking skipped over me completely to take the orders of both the person in front of and the person behind me. Being deliberately ignored in this manner was a very frustrating and uncomfortable experience. Regardless of the reason, all patrons should be treated equally and with respect in a service setting, and following a basic first-come, first-served principle is essential. I urge the dining hall management to address this incident and reinforce staff training on service protocols to ensure every student and visit
