College Prowler Take
Grinnell dining has undergone lots of changes. Most of the student body would agree that the dining situation at Grinnell used to be quite dismal, but the new Marketplace has redefined dining at Grinnell. While there used to be two dining halls, they were consolidated into the Marketplace, a bright, airy facility in the Campus Center. And while having only one dining hall may seem like a recipe for overcrowding, the College took that into consideration when building this large hall. The Marketplace has plenty of seating—even enough for lunch rush period!—and has a wok station, a pizza area, hot sandwiches made to order, and a vegan station. There's also a pasta bar, meat carving station, salad/soup bar, deli, dessert bar, ice cream and Belgian waffle station, cereal/bread station, and multiple beverage areas. For students on restricted diets,, there's also a Kosher student-run kitchen. Overall, the dining situation at Grinnell has dramatically improved. Students Speak Out

The dining hall is wonderful. The College has more options now instead of the two separate, isolated dining halls, which is be good because I can see my friends who live on the other end of campus at meals. It also means new equipment for dining services, which equates to better food. |

The food at Grinnell is pretty good. I’ve had better dorm food, and I have definitely had worse. Dining service employees are very open to feedback. Moreover, there is always a vegetarian option, a vegan option, salad bar, sandwich bar, soup, cereal, bagels, and ice cream. |

Sometimes the lettuce is crusty, but they try hard to keep fresh vegetables around. There are no restaurants on campus, although there is a coffee shop open at night with fresh bagels and cream cheese. The coffee shop is one of the few places on campus that I feel drips with personality and flows with character. |
