We were here for the graduation ceremony for our daughter.

pretty solid keep the coastal kale salad comin and MARINATE it!! they only have dry meat once in a while so solid 8/10 on dining hall levels

Best pizza out of all the UCSC dining halls hands down

Probably the best dining hall on campus. That being said, still dining hall food

Had an amazing time! Helped by two phenomenal staff members, Griffin and Sharky. 10/10 would definitely come back for the super chill vibes.

Awesome Place, Shoutout to My Lovely Friendly Friend THE QUEEN !!!

Cool place and nice meal.

It was only after the 7th round of food poisoning that I ultimately decided to stop eating meat from here

The Cowell Stevenson dining hall has a nice selection of items that they always have, like the salad bar, milk and yogurt, breads and bagels, other spreads, and the sandwich bar. However some of the hot meals are sub par. On most days there are 2-4 items that are delicious and well made, and acceptable sides. On other days, there is nothing edible. The chicken always has a lot of bones, and some of the items are served twice it more in one week. The dining hall is also expensive for the quality of food compared to what you can get elsewhere.

I prefer my food fully cooked, and preferably to not taste like plastic. For human standards, 1 star. For animal food standards, possibly 2? Depends on your animal. For dining hall standards, its a strong 3.75.
