The Dining Commons is pleased to welcome you to Sacramento State. Our goal is to provide you with quality food in a clean and pleasant atmosphere. Features of the meal plans are a result of working closely with the diverse needs of our students.
Quality. . . We care about your health, so menus, recipes, production, and service reflect our concern.
Flexibility. . . Students need flexibility. The meal credit feature of our plan allows a custom fit for the unique needs of each student. Our staff is flexible too — we welcome the chance to serve those with special diet needs or to meet unusual situations.
Variety. . . The Dining Commons’ “All You Care to Eat” food and service program, offers "to- order" selections from the grill, an expanded soup and deli station, and a carved-to-order meat selection at dinner. Daily specials are prepared by our chefs such as display cooking featuring stir fry, authentic Asian wok cooking, and Italian pastas and sauces. Have an early class? We offer coffee to go.
Value. . . Value is more than price. With the cost of food today, where else can you buy lunch and dinner every day for $13.63 per day ($10.78 per day if you use Plan B)? That’s a great deal! It’s value that goes with quality, variety, and care that is part of each meal.
Concern. . . We work hard to do the job right for you. What you think is important to us. Tell us how we are doing through our suggestion box “Platter Chatter”, or talk with our managers and chefs. Come into the Dining Commons kitchen to ask questions or talk. Give us a call (916) 278-6971.
