Donovan Dining Center

"Went with my son for student orientation in June. Good food choices and good customer service. Went so smoothly. Very well organized. A gentleman came and informed us of the different meal plan options are available for commuters."

"They’ve been struggling on their food as of late. I wanted to get a corn chowder so I did…it’s more watery than anything."

"The food is OK. Selections are slim. Their veggie burgers are mush. The kitchen staff are less than cheery."

"The staff is wonderful and they deserve all of the praise- by staff I mean cashiers and the people actually handling the food. However the food is overpriced (especially if you’re on a forced dining plan) and overall underwhelming. It can be tough if you have any dietary restrictions, despite what they claim. The upper management is full of crooks, and I highly recommend not eating here if you have a choice in solidarity with the resident students who do not have a choice. I hardly use two meals a week here, and I've lived on campus for four of the past six years. Too bad for me, no refunds or lower priced meal options. Oh, and $5.50 for a plain grilled cheese when they changed the bread to thinner, cheaper bread? Might have been worth it when they used higher quality bread, but now? Absolute rip off."

"Most of the staff is polite but the food is very poor quality and highly overpriced (with hikes each school year!). Nothing is fresh and I’ve seen poor food safety practices too. They have very strange hours on the weekend. It’s a shame that RIC forces on-campus students buy the meal plan for here."
