This was at my daughter's college. The food was marvelous. I was not expecting to get 5-star quality restaurant food but that's exactly what I got. The salmon was perfect. It was an all-around great experience.

Located at the University of Richmond a quaint and respectable place beautiful architecture

Talk about a room with a view! While I took no pictures of food, I definitely enjoyed the white pizza with salmon & a frosted blackberry lemon cake.

Always look forward to the food when at my yearly conference at UofR. Everything is great, more desserts than a cruise ship. You can tell the employees are love what they do. Jaynob is the sweetest person ever!

AFTER ATTENDING U OF R FROM 1980-1984 WHEN THE DINING AREAS WERE SEPERATE TO WORKING AS A STAFF PERSON HANDLING PAYROLL FOR THE HEILMANN DINING CENTER FOR YEARS AFTER I GRADUATED. THEN TO RETIRE YOUNG SOME 20 YEARS AGO, IT WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE TO TREAT A GOOD FRIEND TO BRUNCH AS WE BOTH DINE SUFFICIENTLY ON SUNDAY

Well done! Staff were courteous and professional during graduation luncheon 5/7/23. The food was excellent!

The food is served at stations, buffet style and there is always friendly staff on hand to assist or answer any questions. The menu changes at each meal, but is posted on their website one week at a time so you can get an idea of what's being served. They always have some vegan and gluten free selections available, as well as a comfort food station and the bakery. All-you-care-to-eat at a reasonable price! When I posted this, I stopped by the dining hall for lunch and I chose the flank steak, baked mac and cheese, grilled broccoli, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for dessert.

No words are adequate to convey the stellar quality of this university cafeteria…outstanding in every way, quality & variety of food, layout of each category & selection, ambience, & efficiency of access and ability to be able to quickly get one’s food, regardless of the large numbers of diners at any one time.
