Best WLM Reviews
Really hit or miss with this one, especially since SBU relies on an outside catering company known as CulinArt, and they run this facility. Generally friendly staff, the same food options that differ slightly (in both quality and variety) day-to-day, coupled with a small chance of food poisoning, often due to accidental mishandling. The atmosphere is vibrant and simple, and the music is a bit too loud sometimes. Recommended for those with meal swipes or takeout boxes.
Great music, great vibes, the workers are nice and the food is pretty good. Lots of different options to choose from, plus dessert! A lot cleaner and organized compared to other dining halls.
Really good food and lots of places to sit. Came as student so I can't comment on the walk-in price. Better food and more choices then East Side Dining. Lighting is nice and they have some food that is unique to West Side Dining. It gets really crowded during dinner since that is when the Asian cuisines are served.
Awful cheap food. Loaded with salt, After one week of eating this food I was sick to my stomach. But you can't blame the workers though.
Extremely Disappointed by the food here. As someone who relies heavily on the dining hall to get my daily nutritional quota, I am very disappointed in the food options. I have seen raw food and health violations. 5 stars if the ice cream machine would work all the time. I am a local guide btw.
The food variety is good and it is displayed very nice but when the quality is trash, what is the point? Unfortunately, the only concern is mass producing and increasing speed, meanwhile the quality is far below the expectation even from a buffet.
Two years ago it was good (considering the price, I would have give it 3-4 stars) but in the last two years increasing the price and decreasing the quality consistently made this place an absolute zero (too bad the minimum score is 1 star).
I strongly believe the person who is in charge in this place has a medical condition that cannot taste food, otherwise there is not any other explanation for it.
Some of the food is ok, and I would say that the buffet style is nice. As far as cafeteria food cause it's good for undergrad dining. I'm not an undergrad Kama so I hardly eat here because I have a lot of other options. The negative is that you can tell it's engineered by experts to maximize profit and, so it may not be always obvious, to screw over the undergrads and make them pay way more and the value they're actually getting. The best part is the Fresh Grill that gives cheeseburgers and french fries.
Roommates with Wayne; that omlette station is AMAZING. Four stars 'cus it alone doesn't outweigh the rest of West Side, but if it gah DAYUM if it ain't good.
