Center for Community Dining

expect a severe case of the sh*ts. mass cooked food made without love or care. some staples of my diet this semester from C4C have included: pizza (pretty good), mac n cheese (bland), the asian section (sometimes the meat is sketchy, and the rice is never good), burritos (will give you the sh*ts without fail, but tasty), and cereal (all off brands). Don’t expect the fruit to be fresh, and don’t expect a wide variety of vegetables either.

Best college restaurant ever. Buffet, delicious foods, wide variety, all possible sweets, drinks and CHEAP. No brainer! Just be happy!

Best college food. Lots of selection. Cleanplace to eat. Good atmosphere nice eating.

For a school dining hall, the center for community eatery is quite impressive. The food is plentiful and good, and the atmosphere caters to a variety of needs.
Having worked as a butcher for the dining hall for a few years, i can testify to the quality of the ingredients and the upkeep of the kitchen. There are strict policies enforcing and maintaining thorough hygienic upkeep each morning and night. The food is always fresh, at least enough to the point where I would have no concerns. There have been rumors over the quality of meat, or the lack there of, and concerns over the ingredients used in the recipes, which I’de like to put to rest. The kitchen is run by professional chefs with a vast spectrum of experience, who really do put the time and work in to make quality and dynamic meals. It’s all really good food.
There are various food stations offering food to reach all areas of your pallet: Persian, Asian, Kosher (although rarely open, at least when I go), the Sushi Station, the American Grill station, Mexican, Italian, multiple salad bars, and dessert station. Forewarning, it’s far too easy to grab way more food than you can handle.
The Persian and Kosher stations are my favorites, each one always offering a tasty protein; from chicken wings to meatballs, I’ve yet to be let down. The soups at the Kosher station are delicious. The accouterments offered at Persia offer the capacity to create the ultimate gyro: tzatziki, pickled vegetables, walnuts, pita bread, Mediterranean salad, and feta.
If you want to eat healthy, the options are definitely there. The salad bar has everything you need to get thoroughly jacked. Unlimited vegetables, fruits, and proteins.
Can’t forget the dessert station. A wide array of cookies, cakes, pies and ice creams are offered, which can be dangerous for those lacking self control, everything inside is offered on an all you can eat basis. Truly a great place to spend your entire day.
In regards to the atmosphere, there are a number of rooms/​areas to dine in, filled with tables and booths, some are more conducive to a more quite study/​work environment while others are loud and flowing with students. There are a few Tvs throughout the dining hall, usually broadcasting various sports channels. My favorite spots are the booths toward the end of the dining hall (opposite the entrance). They offer the option to adjust their lighting with a variety of options, outlets for charging your laptop, and comfortable seating to post up all day as you eat food and get work done. Tread with caution, it’s far to easy spend 6 hours eating macaroons in this establishment.
Almsot forgot, the outdoor seating is plentiful and amazing on a warm and sunny day.
