Johnston Island, hands down. Contactor ran for an island population of 1000 civilians & 200 military. Professional chefs that would cook a lot of the menu to order. All you could eat shrimp etc. We worked our tails off there and I stll gained weight. They would have a cook your own steak bbq every Friday night. Good stuff.

The best chow hall I've been to was the chow hall at Camp Williams in Utah. It was the chow hall for the PLDC Students. It was staffed by civilians and they made the best chow I had in my 12 years of service. The second best was Ft. Gordon in Georgia, also staffed by civilians.
The most food ever given to me on a plate was at Torrejon Air Force Base in Spain. The Air Force sure know how to feed their Airmen/Airwomen. The Army lets you subsist on a starvation diet. |

Fort Jackson, SC. The ladies gave us the best southern cooking we've ever had at a chow hall, and because we were Marines she always gave us a loaf of bread pudding to take back to the brks.

I was there last summer and they still had Marines serving and cooking in the chow hall. They had decent food, but it always tasted great coming out of a field op.

For me, it was the Air Force side Kadena AB in Okinawa. They had the best enlisted chow hall on the Rock.

Eh, how long ago was that? I was there for WLC (formerly known as PLDC) and the food was notably terrible.

Okinawa Camp shields we had a Masterchief that ran it while on deployment, who hooked us up and ran the galley the way all of them should be ran.
I remember talking with a friend who asked me if I wanted to take the truck over to Kadena and go to Chilli's and I responded "ARE you crazy it is TACO NIGHT"

Best Chow Hall had to be Mid Rats on the Kitty. Such a good time, dinner and breakfast all in one.
Not at a Chow Hall would be the Ordie shop on the Kitty. Man we had food sent to us from Japan. So we had all the goodies.

Eglin AFB. I was there for a 2 week class. All you can eat including lobster and steak. There is an E-6 who's whole job in the Air Force is cutting you prime rib. "Is this rare enough for you sir? How much would you like? Is this thick enough for you? what kind of sauce would you like with your lobster?"
F***in Air Force... |

I went as support to the 1987 Happy Camp fire. Those fire fighters eat great. One night they served steak and Lobster. I was there 11 days and gained 7 pounds.
In the Service I was in transit and ate at the mess hall at the Rein Mien Air Base in Germany. I went to clear my plate and stuff, the guy next to me told me we weren't at an Army base, they have people to clear the tables, Imagine that, lol. I ate at far more bad mess halls than good ones. In basic training, we didn't worry about quality, just how much we could eat and get out. One time we were told to take ou time and eat as much as we wanted, then went for a four mile run. It wasn't pretty.

Hi Matt C,
I was up at Camp Williams in the early '90's for PLDC. The chow there was definitely "A Banquet" as far as Army Chow went. When did they change PLDC to WLC? I wonder if the budget cuts implemented by Pres. Clinton cut into the good chow at Camp Williams. I feel bad for your experience with the chow there. AGGRESSOR |

How about the worst! Kabul International Airport, Kabul, Afghanistan. It even has its own FB page to try and shut it down. This DFAC is the worst in the AOR and there is nothing anyone can do.
The best, FOB Thomas, Shindand Afghanistan. |

Being so used to the chow line while stationed in Germany, I thought it was normal. But during shooting competition (sp SCHUTZEN SCHNUER) with the BRD troops one weekend we were treated to German mess. Problem was we were "seated and served" at our tables, like a fancy restaurant - SOUP, MAIN COURSE & DESSERT. Great food, right. Well asking the Germans, you'd think they were crazy THEY HATED their chow, but loved our "C Rations".

Either LSA Anaconda or COB Speicher's. Steaks every friday, had a stir fry night, mmm.
In the states we would usually drive over to Pope AFB to eat at their dfac, or go off post. Did Robin Sage OpFor and at the end we killed a hog and cooked it, possibly the best I ate in the field, although when training west point cadets we got served field rations, but could go to the cantina to buy beer. |

FTW, one of the +'s to having a multi-national group was the variety of food.

Scania was always good. Not really for the food by itself, but it was something you got after a 10-18 hour convoy. Usually midnight chow here. Cedar I will throw in as it was the first place I encountered the "made to order" milkshakes. The KBR facility was better overall than the Army one though. Zone 1 Arifjan because they had decent/good food and you actually got plates and silverware (not plastic/foam trays and plastic silverware). |

The best chow i've had in the C.G was on a cutter! The FS2 on the Aquidneck in Bahrain was AWESOME! It's amazing what good food does to morale. Honorary mention goes to where i'm stationed at now, NBK Bangor in WA.
