I prefer De Neve. It was too hard to find seats at Covel during peak times, and it'll be even worse now that Sproul's open.

i thought Hedrick sushi was ok for awhile... and then i ate real sushi over break.

i usually ate at Covel or Rendezvous. Hedrick is ok. i heard De Neve is good, but i only went there once. Rieber had something worth eating maybe twice a month.

if you eat at Covel, though, go really early or really late.

You should really try to have lunch @ Rieber or just at other dining halls, better than dinner imo.

I'm pretty sure all the dining halls have soy milk (as I have friends that eat cereal all the time and only drink soy milk).

But as for the best dining hall...I always feel like Hedrick has the best tasting foods but is the hardest to get to with the fewest hours. Also I only usually do sushi there (which is def worth it cause they have soy beans, spicy chicken and special k with red berries all at the same time!).

Rieber is average all the time. Covel has great lunches usually, but can fail for dinner cause it's always pasta plus whatever they feel like. Also Covel never has any chicken sandwiches (of any kind) for dinner, so if you don't eat pasta and don't like their main dish and don't eat red meat you are in a bit of a pickle. De Neve is good, but if you don't live in De Neve you won't want to walk there. It's also really big which I tend to find overwhelming.

Ultimately you have to decide what matters most to you. Some dining halls have better cereal selections, some better salad bars, some better whatevs...Covel is the worst for cereal selection, but it's usually the best in quality cause other people eat there. Also if you go at 6 you might want to kill yourself over the crowds. You will struggle so hard to find a table. And with Sproul opening it will only get worse I fear.

Yeah, after thinking about it carefully...I prefer Rendevous. Or B-Caf. Or paying money to eat in Westwood. The dining halls are fine, but none really stand out as the best.

Oh and on a side note...the air around Puzzles actually feels greasy. BLAH.

The lines are much shorter in the summer. Sometimes, there is no one in there.

Really, you liked DeNeve? I thought that food was terrible there last year, and Covel had the best food. I felt that everywhere except Covel had a worse variety of food compared to the previous year.

Didn't you get sick of the beef at DeNeve? There was like Colorado beef, Cantonese beef, Thai beef, Stir fry beef, pepper steak ... they're all the same thing with the same sauce! That and the dry chicken ... : (
