How Bad is the Food on Campus
From Stanford University Wiki
Based on comments from students at other universities, it seems that Stanford food is actually pretty good. The selection in dining halls is of superior variety and quality in comparison to that of many other universities and colleges. That said, let's see a rundown of the various dining halls on campus...

Residential Dining Halls
Branner Dining
Florence Moore Dining
Lakeside Dining
Lakeside's Late Nite
Manzanita Dining
Ricker Dining
Row Dining
Row dining is generally fantastic. Private chefs are the way to go. Really. Everyone should have a friend on the Row and use guest meals.
Stern Dining
Stern's Late Night Cyber Cafe
Suites Dining Societies
Whether you eat in Bollard, Beef, Middle Earth, or Avanti, Suites Dining offers one of the best arrangements on campus. The last standing entirely student run dinning affiliate, they don't sacrifice board bills to pay off SOS. This means more meals, better food, better snacks, and better parties. I guess that may be why Suites is the long time favorite residence for varsity athletes and those that make food a priority.
ps. Frank's breakfast is the shit.
pps. Friday BBQs are the shit.

Restaurants and Cafes
CoHo
CoHo is no more, closed when the new Axe and Palm opened in Old Union. For a petition to re-open CoHo, see http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stanfordcoho/index.html.
The TreeHouse
The food is generally good, though, occasionally, you'll find waiting lines extending to the entrance of the restaurant. The number of seats is inadequate - don't expect to find a good place to sit during lunch/dinner hours. Barring high prices, the TreeHouse remains one of the most accessible eating places on campus. Mexican food is the specialty. The turkey burger is great, but takes extra time to make.
Oh, and if you're smart, you'll figure out how to get free soda from the TreeHouse anytime of day.
