Okenshields Dining Room

That guy at desk needs to retire. Seriously. Can't really say what his problem his. This place features decent food choice with all you dare to eat formula. Food ain't bad but can get quite overcrowded. Free ice cream yeah!

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!

Great, underrated dining hall on Central campus. Lots of good options including Asian fare.

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.

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.
