Eh, this place seems just like every other café on campus. There is a small salad bar, soup area, and place to order sandwiches and daily specials. There is a rack of chips and cooler for drinks. Chicken and sausage jambalaya soup: Meh, I probably wouldn’t order it again. It didn’t taste very fresh nor flavorful. Chili dog with cheese: This is a Tuesday special. This was not very good, but I wasn’t expecting it to be. It was edible, but I didn’t particularly enjoy it. I probably wouldn’t order this again. I did get vegetables(carrots and celery) as a side though, which were good. Chicken tenders: Typical chicken tenders. Three pieces, which was a reasonable size. The inside seemed more like processed meat, like the chicken nuggets you get at McDonalds, rather real chicken that was fried, as you couldn’t see the individual strands of meat. Came with mac & cheese. Mac & Cheese: This came with the chicken tenders. It was surprisingly good! The cheese flavor was strong. I would have liked some Sriracha with it, but there was only Tabasco-style sauce. Cornbread: I initially thought this was okay, albeit a bit dry. My friends didn’t think it was good. I tried some cornbread at another place and realized how bad the cornbread was here. It was horribly dry sand bland; it almost felt like eating soft sand. I would probably eat here again because of its close location, but I don’t think it’s anything special as of now.

Decio Commons is a solid four-star on-campus place to grab some pretty good food. I’ve giving it five stars, though, because it’s so perfect for its location and because of Deb, the woman who runs it. She’s a sweetheart and a Notre Dame institution. Come here for the salad bar(a bit expensive) and the soup sometimes. Keep coming back because it’s quick in and out and because it’s a relaxing place to eat before class or your big meeting with your professor. I came here a lot because Decio is connected to Malloy Hall, where the theology program is, and it was much more convenient to walk a few feet indoors than to have to take the shortcut through the chemistry building to get to LaFortune. It’s also a quick walk from here to the library, and it’s never really crowded.
