Cafe Central (davis School District Nutrition Services)

Always amazing food. Very good prices and you never have to wait too long for your food.

It's not often I resort to a 1-Star rating for anyone but in this case I must. I attended their so called famous Barbecue Day and was extremely disappointed. The lunch encompassed either barbecue chicken or ribs. I opted for the chicken. I was shocked. I was given a hunk of chicken that in no way was cooked on a grilled and it had no sauce on it. Get this...it was a hunk of breast pulled out of a container that in fact looked like it was boiled elsewhere and given to you lacking any spices, rub or sauce. Later on down the line they give a serving of barbecue sauce. This is not barbecue chicken! The ribs were cooked on a grill near by but not cooked with any sauce layered on it. What the heck! If your going to advertise barbecue chicken or ribs it better damn well be cooked on a grill with the proper sauce. I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. I want my $14 back!

Really good cafeteria style lunches. The special changes every day.

In the summer. BBQ on the patio! Outstanding! Food is really good here if ordering off of the menu. Prices are very reasonable.

The Santa Fe panini is our favorite! Our schedule doesn't always match up to when they are open, so don't go as often as we would like. But it is yummy!
