What Students Are Saying

My favorite meal in the cafeteria is the breakfast because the cooks are so good and I just love breakfast. Lunch and dinner are okay, but lately the cafeteria has been letting people fill out comment cards in order to better the food at Pacific. The newest meal they have been cycling through is sushi! It has been a big hit! The cafeteria offers a lot of variety, but sometimes something as simple as meat can be super dry or bland.

The food is very good, with a great selection ( and I am picky.)

Pacific's dining services are perhaps the one area where things fall flat. There has been a lot of controversy even within the past year and a half over the school's food supplier, Aramark, and complaints about the quality of the food are neither rare nor unfounded. Still, the dining staff itself are all awesome, and the dining hours are easy enough to remember. On top of that, dining services (along with Greek life) occasionally put on big dinners before things like winter break, and these are always delicious.

the food here isn't exactly a home cooked meal, but we have a ton of variety that i haven't seen at other schools. we have a salad bar, pizza bar, pasta bar where your food is prepared right in front of you, a sushi bar, a mongolian grill where the food is also prepared right in front of you, a wrap and sandwich station, a home cooking station, and a grill that makes anything form burgers to philly cheesesteaks. so in other words, you can pretty much have something new almost everyday.
