Very disappointing. Some of the worst food I have ever tasted. Sometimes has bangers though. Kosher kitchen has some hidden gems. Notably, the wings on Wednesdays and taco Tuesdays. Soft serve is a saving grace.

Impressive selection of cuisines with separate hot and cold beverage stations. They also have cereal dispensers and even an ice cream dispenser. Much of the food at the kosher section is not reliable most of the time, as it is certified by Star-K, which does not adhere to the yashan laws of new vs. old grain (Leviticus 23:14, Challah 1:1, Orlah 3:9, Menachot 10:5-7, confirmed by Menachot 68b and Keritot 5a). The contents of the aforementioned ice cream dispenser, and those of the Minute Maid beverage dispensers, are reliably kosher. - January 28, 2026 (kosher certification and reliability are subject to change)

Brown needs more dining halls that serve fewer people. For the amount of tuition we pay, the food is not on par with our peer institutions. Food is frequently poorly cooked. I have received raw chicken on multiple occasions.

Large hall, they say it's the best Brown Campus food. They have some diverse food options, none are seasoned. Looks can be deceiving but nothing is bad. Dessert is consistently amazing and has a small but reasonable coffee bar, soda, tea, juice, and water fountains.

Food selection was lacking, many stations unstaffed or just having a pittance of food. Hot items under temperature. Quite disappointing for an Ivy League school.
