Great place to have breakfast, lunch and dinner as a bobcat at Texas State University. It offers a variety of cuisines for every palate on a daily basis.
Edited from originally a 1* review Good, but not as good as Harris. Not very good on the weekends. Skews a bit less healthy than Harris, so I prefer Harris. Convenient location, but no power outlets and kinda dark. I’d go here if studying at the library or have classes nearby, or if Harris is closed Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $1–10 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
Only one protein at time and the rest is either carbohydrates or vegan related courses. If you're a student athlete looking for a balanced meal this is definitely not the place!

I was very pleasantly surprised at the variety, the presentation and the quality of the food here. The chef even came to the table and introduced herself. She was asking if we were pleased with her food and also asked if we had any suggestions or comments. For me, this was highly unusual 😁
This is a common go to place for Texas State University students when it comes to a good lunch in a cheap price. they offer buffet menu if you pay $10 entering the Dining. they have wide variety of food including vegan menus and very little meat items but there are some. you can take any dessert or cold or hot beverage here after you were in. the atmosphere is very friendly for any students and it is basically self service. Nobody will provide any table service here. The disposing system is pretty neat you have to keep your plate and glasses to an automatic disposable unit and that will take back to the kitchen. one thing is they have a very small washroom so maybe you will not have an instant access because it is always occupied. However this is the best deal in campus when it comes to a great meal in the cheapest price and quickest service. the location is very convenient from the other side of Campus gate, you can grab a shuttle if it suits you, or maybe you can walk to Alkek library and go to any direction that you need to go. One important note is this will be closed before 4 p.m. so if you want to go there to make your time and go accordingly. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10
I love eating at Commons Dining Hall. It is right across from Flowers Hall which is where almost every one of my classes are. The food is always delicious and varied. I am a vegan and always find plenty to eat and the pricing is very affordable. The staff is super friendly and always helpful. The facility is clean and so convenient for a quick and healthy meal between my courses and work. Lots of great choices at all mealtimes.
Great food with great, fast, and friendly staff. They have taken the Corona virus protection a little bit far in my opinion as they only have half capacity at the moment and only one chair per table. The options for eating are plentiful and multi-cultural with plenty of vegan options if you so choose. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends alike.

Ive been a bobcat for 4 years. I'm surprised there is a Google review option for one of Texas State's dining halls. I'd compare this dining hall to Luby's. All you can eat, mostly good food. Some of the food is really really good. Usually anything with rice is not as good. This place has given me many a good meal. If you have swipes, it is 100% worth it.
First off, the staff is very kind and hardworking. If you're a vegan, than this place if perfect for you! If you are not, there is pizza... Please add more entrees with actual meat as most people coming in aren't vegan. *EDIT: This is during the pandemic and half the stations are closed down, but still.
