Simply put, everyone who works here deserves to be fired IMMEDIATELY. Only one of the doors work for some reason. Fire hazard? Every single time I’ve ever gotten chicken, it’s been beyond dry or severely undercooked. Rice is regularly raw. I can’t even comprehend how someone can serve the food to people and maintain a clear conscience. Everything is styrofoam, plastic or paper. So wasteful. I’ve been to a handful of chow halls and I’ve NEVER been to a chow hall that has worse food or service. I don’t write reviews often but this place is just wildly terrible.

I have never been a huge fan of 43 area chow hall having been stationed here since 2020 ( I still freshly remember them having once regularly served raw fish or overcooked chicken). But this lady behind the counter today Ms. Christina ignored me asking politely 3 times for no rice and still gave me some and looked me dead in the eyes afterwards daring me to do something. I don’t know why I’m paying hundreds of dollars per month for these disrespectful clowns.

You have never met a dumber group of people than the 43 area Sodexo workers. They have the combined IQ of a half baked potato chip. Not to mention they are a disgustingly disrespectful group of people.

How could this random little chow hall stack up against the rest? Two words: cucumber water.

The chowhall needs some changing in the way they serve to go chows. I was just there and I had a to go tray. I got 3 peices of beef and broccoli. I went back to get another 3 peices of beef but the lady said I couldn’t do that if I had a to go tray, but if I ate THERE in the chow hall I can come back up to get as many plates as I want. I don’t get the reason behind that. I don’t understand the logic behind that. Please tell me the reason behind the rules of to go trays please. Lastly I know 3 peices of small beef and a scoop of broccoli isn’t going to fill any Marine up.

worst chow hall. chewy chicken (lets not get started on the raw potatoes, and frozen french toast, or the hair you might find in your food on a consistent basis), they have the worst sodexo staff compared to many, and cant make up their minds on how they operate. they have it set up one way, and then the next second they have it another way. DONT expect to be given a reasonable portion of food, theyre really stingy, and roll your eyes at you when they have to do their job, especially the old dude there.

Food is mediocre and might give you food poisoning, servers talk down to you, and half the time the drink machines are broken. Why is 300 from my paycheck being taken out for a place I wouldn’t eat at if I was homeless and starving? Sodexo is a whole scam

I’ve been eating here for almost 3 years now and this places sucks. Breakfast isn’t so bad for the morning. But then evening fast chow is horrible. I’m tired of biting into a burger and it still being half raw and pink on the inside. Please cook the burgers for a longer period of time so they’re well done. These are not steaks and shouldn’t be pink

Subpar food and workers. Hours are wrongly displayed-chow hall opens at 0600 not 0500.

Chow is always OK. They have an OK selection of food if you dont mind eating the same thing week in and week out. It’s pretty clean and staff are kind of polite. 4 stars mainly for the price. Get a breakfast burrito from the roach coach for 5-6 bucks or get double the food from the chow hall for $3.45. There are better chow halls on base and this one works if it’s getting close to 09 and you’re hungry.
