★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Alex Kruse · Feb 2026

This pizza is NOT GOOD man. Not the employees fault though its just cardboard crust. I think i can count on one hand the times ive enjoyed the food here

★★★☆☆ 3.0 RiceNoodles · Oct 2022

Depending on the day, Seasons can be mid or really bussin. Typically not as good on the weekends because they don't open Bonsai's (the grill area). The Bonsai area is usually open on the weekdays and when it is, the food is usually heat Edit: place has gone downhill tbh, i also saw mold on the bread once

★★★★★ 5.0 Mike James · Nov 2025

Great lunch spot while visiting ISU. I guarantee you won't leave hungry. Excellent selection

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Henry Yoder · Sep 2024

The food here isn't necessarily bad, but it's the weakest of the dining halls at ISU in my opinion. I dorm 5 minutes from Seasons and I still prefer taking the time to walk/bus to UDCC. The only reason to go to Seasons is if you are starving and don't have the time to go to one of the better halls.

Honestly I'm pretty sure that anyone who rated this place highly either has Stockholm syndrome or went there once during orientation. It's the same stuff every day. Anything worth eating is a once a month event. I can thing of more times I've gotten nauseous while going there than times I've enjoyed it. Literally thrown up from seasons before. It's an awful feeling to swipe in and regret it, because you'd be better off just leaving then getting what you paid for. And what's even worse is the fact that if something looks good there is a 50/50 chance it's burned or cold, sometimes both. During orientation they advertise rice crispy bars as being a thing you can find anywhere on campus but, it's just not the case. I haven't seen a single one since I came here other than the ones they offer fo
