Poor hygiene. Employees constantly on their phones. Don’t wash their hands or many either aren’t wearing gloves or don’t change gloves.

Food honestly isn’t that good, the quality has definitely gone down a lot since my first year back in 2016-2017 when I had a meal plan and honestly the fact that we don’t get to serve ourselves near as much kinda sucks too. Bring back the ice cream machine also.

Glad to find this gem on EMU’s campus. Wish they had more of these types of eateries on campus.

I have been coming here for the last 3 years, because it is convenient between classes. The place has seemed to get worse every year. Food is hit or miss (mainly miss). The price to get in is insane for the value of a single meal, unless you plan to stay long enough to have two. It is, however, one of the better places to eat on campus. Chartwells is awful.

A few years ago when The Commons was run by the University before they privatized it, the food and service were both really remarkably good for a campus dining hall. Since that time, both seem to have declined consistently. I don’t know, maybe they’re temporarily off their game because of COVID, but lunch today was pretty underwhelming. Pretty much everything was cold, except the ice cream, which was out of order. One notable exception was the soup, which was the correct temperature, and really very good. Recommend the soup.

Usually no lines and at least you have lots to choose from if you don’t like one, two, or three of the options. It’s not great but it is better than plenty of other universities chow hall.

One star is more than the commons deserves, half the time my food is cold within 5 minutes of sitting down, if not there’s a good chance it’s inedible anyways. I came in yesterday and felt guilty for throwing away a plate of cold and disgusting food. Even calling it subpar at best would be a compliment. Very rarely do I have a good eating experience here.

$8 all you can eat. And you can stay for as long as you like. The food is decent, there are better days then others. Always have burgers, hot dogs and pizza for lunch. I haven’t tried dinner or breakfast yet. Although they do have cereal out all the time Incase you want breakfast.

I have spent some time here in The Commons, and this just might become my main place for breakfast. Although it’s old, it still sports some nice architecture and plenty of good food, although the wait times in line tend to be long when there are so many people. In addition, there are flat screen televisions people can watch while eating, and more often than not, there will be music playing through the speakers. The staff serving the food is nice.
