This is pretty much a freshman dining hall that is also open to the rest of the UC Davis community and also the public. Since it is open to the public, I figured I would check it out. The two times I have been so far I have parked in Lot 25 which is a large Visitor's Parking lot on the UC Davis campus that is only a short walk to the Segundo Dining Commons. Note: You have to walk around the backside of the building to get to the entrance. Lunch is only $12.50 per person and is all you can eat. I was able to pay at the front with Apple Pay and proceeded to go inside. While it is 99% freshman in there getting lunch, you won't feel out of place and they could care less that you are there. It's actually a very chill and comfortable for environment if you are a member of the public and not a freshman. The first time I got lunch there I got a Vegan Black Bean Burger, Shoestring Fries, and a Vegan Lemon Drop Cookie. The second time I got the Vegan Falafel Burger, Curly Fries and a Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie. It was the type of meal that would cost you at minimum $15+ plus tip (more or less $18) and likely even more than that. It was refreshing to get a deal on some vegan food for once! I most definitely will be coming back and bringing others with me too.

Bean burger bun was dry. Sauce options were limited. Stir fry veggies were flavorful but under cooked. Bummer the Mongolian barbecue was not open. The salad bar only had a couple of options and very few veggies. My friends raved about this place three years ago. Good aspect, it nice hearing people talking and laughing in the background.
