Dining Services, Utah State University

We used USU food services for catering a company party. It was a great experience. They were easy to work with. The food was delicious and they had a great variety of main menu items, side dishes and more to choose from. Our favorite was the brisket. The thin slices were unique, but it has a great taste, good smokiness and was very moist. The only odd thing was the amount of salad dressing they provided. It was WAY too much, on the side of wasteful. Other than that, super awesome and will use them again.

They catered an event we attended. They were supposed to serve Hawaiian haystacks which include chicken in chicken gravy, but instead it was only boiled and shredded chicken. The person arranging the event complained and was told, “ that’s how our chefs make it and it’s delicious.” To put this in perspective for those who don’t know what a Hawaiian haystack is, this was the equivalent of putting cheese and pepperoni on a pizza crust and then calling it pepperoni pizza, when there’s no sauce.

Used them for my wedding, they charged us for all sorts of random things, then told us their policy after our wedding. The “ivory” colored table clothes were just straight up yellow and on top of that, wrinkly. We obviously paid them a significant amount of money for the food, yet they either threw away all the leftovers or the staff took them home. Food wasn’t that great and they just find anything and everything to charge you with, just like the college they work under

I am sick with covid-19 in a dorm without a kitchen. I wasn’t expecting the food they deliver to me to be great but it is horrendous. My dinner tonight is another sugar cookie, some sugary pudding, and a frozen and cracked burrito with the tortilla falling apart. Sometimes they don’t even knock on the door and I always get the food after it’s been sitting out in the sun for who knows how long. I’m honestly afraid to eat this food.

The food from USU Dining Services is disgusting. I have been to the dining halls multiple times because a friend has a meal plan, and its honestly disappointing. It's a surprise if you find something that's even mediocre. Meal Plans are a ripoff because no one actually wants to eat in the dining hall every day.
