Reviews

The food was okay. The specialty meal for the day was done well, but their staples were petty meh. Overall a decent experience, and there's certainly a wide selection. Just maybe not too much if you're vegetarian.

Okenshields is the only "all-you-care-to-eat" dining hall on Central campus where students can use a meal swipe. Expect long wait times and difficulty finding a seat during peak hours. Decor reflects that you are in a historic building, but things can get messy with so many students in and out.

Okenshields rarely wows. Today, it was good and with good variety but on most days it is underwhelming with a lack of variety and sappy fare. Events like the Okenshields night breakfast connect well with students but it is not due to to the quality of the food itself. I prefer the other dining halls, especially those on North Campus but Okenshields truly is well located. So central, almost next to the clock tower.

Most convenient place to eat on campus. Only eatery that accepts meal swipes on central.  Friendly staff, great music.  Food is consistent, if not great. Dim sum on Fridays is very good! Special events are also nice e.g. Valentine's fondue station.  Not very accessible to wheelchair users.

Even though it is a meme, I have to admit it is not as bad as everyone says. As the only meal swipe dining hall on Central Campus, it is a bit crowded around lunchtime. The food is good, definitely better than most other dining halls in the US. Compared to West Campus dining halls at Cornell, it falls short, but due to its location, it is an ideal place at which to go eat.

'Cheaper' version of the Morrison Dining Hall

Okenahields is one of the smaller dining halls in Cornell but it is always consistent. You know what to expect. Their salad bar is really good and I also really like their Asian fusion station. The location is also fantastic because it is right on central campus. In fact it is one of the only swipe dining halls on central campus. I go there for lunch 3-4 times a week and sometimes dinner. Some people don’t like it because it is repetitive but I enjoy it!

Ya try to get takeout box after leave the register for 5 seconds and they say u need to pay double to get it; food is eh waffle mix was one time diluted for a week to the point where it didn't make waffles

My least favorite dining hall on campus. The setup is terribly inefficient, lines out the back of the main room because everyone waits in one line instead of having smaller lines for each item. The meal variety is awful. Assorted grilled cheese three times a week is not a meal. Central desperately needs another dining hall that takes swipes.

The food may be mediocre, and certainly has its days I would consider 4 stars but also has some not so good days. But anyway, "It's not about the FOOD, it's about the music! The ~atmosphere~." -friend of mine
