    I dormed at Wayne State for 3 years, and Gold n’ Greens and the salad bar were the only things that saved me. Their meat options are usually severely undercooked or overcooked; their pasta is overcooked, dry, and gummy; the pizza tastes cheap and looks like it’s been sitting out for a while; and on two separate occasions, there has been mold on my food. I got cereal at one point, and I got a sandwich. Both the cereal and the bread were moldy. There was also a point where the chocolate milk tasted like it had gone bad. I love my university and I am ashamed that I have to state all of this as accurate, but it is. Wayne State, please correct all these issues. We should not be paying high prices for inedible, tasteless food.

    Would give this place zero stars if we were allowed to. Completely unsanitary! Food is nasty, roaches are often sighted IN or around the food, the choices get boring fast, and it is questionable if the food is even properly cooked. People only eat here because we are forced to. Edit: They served half-cooked chicken today. This place needs to up their quality or get called out on their health code violations.

    Although quite honestly the 5 star rating is just to balance the average, there is no reason it has 2 stars. Is it a 5 star restaurant...no...but what do you expect for 7 dollars all you can eat. There is decent variety. Quality is adequate and it's cheap. What more do you want?

    I am an editing my original review. I have noticed how respectful the employees are now! Definitely a nice change! The food is also a lot better compared to a year ago. They could clean the tables and chairs more but that is me just being picky.

    Very hit or miss. Sometimes the meals are good, and the burgers are consistently good. But when the meals are bad, they’re VERY bad. The food can often be comparable to prison food. I’ve even gotten food poisoning on a couple of occasions. My advice: get a meal plan that offers warrior dollars and only come here once a day.

    Just wanted to say, "Thank You" to Ms. Olga Johnson. I have been working with WSU C2 Pipeline for eight- 8 years and for the past three weeks, Ms. Johnson's professionalism and positive energy has outshines anyone I have encountered at the entry point! Ms. Olga Johnson is customer service excellence everyday! Thanks again, Ms. Johnson! πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜ŠπŸ’―πŸ’―

    It was a buffet, six years ago; they had a great selection. I recommended the pizza burger; a burger with pizza spice used as either bun, red sauce already included. It's ok food, affordable. Self service. You have, using regular buns, got to try peanut butter on a burger, no other sauce, get your protein.

    The price isn't bad for a buffet, but the food is mediocre at best. I would only recommend eating here if you're a student forced to buy the meal plan.
