FSU Dining Commons

"Great buffet and reasonable!"

"Disappointed, the food used to be good enough but now it’s depressing. Very little variety and extremely inconsistent on quality. It makes me sad because the people who work there are so kind but this year the food hasn’t been enough to warrant the cost of $2000 a semester. Often times the only protein is chicken and low quality beef burgers."

"I moved with my family to the house immediately next door to the Student Center which houses the dining commons. I have eaten breakfast here many times and often bring my kids with me. They have an omelet bar, smoothie bar and many other daily options. I really enjoy the omelets and my daughter loves the smoothies. All for $4.75! You can't beat the breakfast. I've also eaten here for dinner twice. One night they had steak tips, which were surprisingly good. They have plenty of unhealthy options (burgers, fries, breaded chicken etc.) but they do have a decent salad bar, which was pretty fresh. They also have some healthy vegan options and a section for those with allergies where the simple food is made with basic ingredients. I thought those sections in particular were pretty good and relatively healthy. I gave 5-stars with in mind that this is a cafeteria. It is not a made to order restaurant. Of course I've had better food and I could grill up a better steak (for example) than the all-you-can-eat steak I ate here. But for a cafeteria serving thousands of meals, I'm pleased with the quality and value! Finally, the staff have always been very friendly to me and my family as well. I realize that it is easy for students to trash the food at the University, but I do not think much of the negative commentary here is warranted. So keep up the good work here team! I'll be back soon."

"Not as good as it could be. Especially after seeing it during ‘accepted students day’ I have now seen what it COULD be like...amazing meals, plenty of options, normal kind of soup that is edible and fully stocked everything. Even potted plants, decorations, marshmallows for hot cocoa, a fully stocked breakfast buffet with French toast sticks. All of this was there today just for this occasion, setting these people up coming into FSU with high expectations. Sorry to say it, but you will be disappointined when you see how it really is day to day for the people that already pay a lot of money to have meal plans here. Oh, and I won’t tell you how many times I have gotten sick after eating the food here. Good luck!"

"Has the ability to sustain life. If you have low blood pressure, the sodium in the food will sure raise it. If you’re ever backed up, eat the fish! If you ever need to plug up, eat just about anything else. Remember to get your Wheaties in while you can or they might go stale! Fresh fruit? Never heard of her."
