“ Kennedy Commons, or Kcomm, is a good OSU dining option. Smaller than Scott, but far easier to find a seat, the food is good and the staff is friendly. ”
“ Traditions at Kennedy, of the food halls, has the best food but not much of it. While traditions at Scott has way more options, they're not always that good. Kennedy has way better food, but there aren't many options. I recommend Kennedy as somewhere to go not every day, but every so often. To best show the difference, traditions at Scott has pre-made pancakes from some factory somewhere. Traditions at Kennedy has pancakes that are made by a chef in front of your eyes, and are still warm when you get them. ”
“ Best food I’ve ever had! Way better than traditions at Scott, Kennedy for life! ”
“ I love this place..great food , prices and staff..the students are well mannered and very friendly ..if given a chance I'd work here year round..miss you all.. ”
“ Traditions at Kennedy or K-Comm as the kids call it surely is a delight to the senses. Every meal I have consumed at this fine establishment has left me with a true feeling of joy and fulfillment. The food here is absolutely spectacular, I would bet my paycheck that if you ate here you would be hooked for life. Everyone who attends or even visits Ohio State needs to eat a meal here it is an absolute taste sensation that you can't experience anywhere else. I would catch a grenade and put my head on a blade for K-Comm. Finally, to finish my review I need to enlighten everyone about the ultimate flavor experience; the Traditions Trifecta. The Trifecta consists of an appetizer at K-Comm, followed by a nice bus ride over to Scott for the main course and finished off with a smooth and delicious dessert at Morrill. Give it a try and I promise you will not be disappointed. ”
“ Good place to go when you want a small bite to eat or just a good meal to have. ”
“ This is a nice dining hall. I went here and was satisfied with my experience. It has a wide variety of food, such as chicken breast’s, rice, hot dogs, and french fries. They have an allergen free station serving brown rice and other food, as well as a dessert station with cookies. There’s plenty of seating, and a seasoning station with Cajun, red pepper, Tabasco hot sauce, mustard, ketchup, and more. I gave this dining hall five stars because the food was better than I expected and because it has a nice seasoning station. ”
“ Food here is amazing. There are many variety of food ranging from salads to fried stuff. Decor looks traditional, which is good. There's a TV for people to watch the games. Amazing. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone on campus. ”
