What customers say?

“ Cool place for KU students to study & eat. Very cool piece of history to have the original rules of the game located up stairs for anyone to view! ”

- Josh Quist -

“ Clean, close to campus, enough room and good environment to study, food is great! In short, awesome place! ”

- Ruturaj -

“ Good cafeteria (with the famous chicken cheddar wrap) and a mini Starbucks. Good sushi. It's all overpriced but decent stuff. Energy drinks and yogurt also available. ”

- Jenny Nielsen -

“ Second time at a KU basketball gave, but first time at De Bruce. There were so many options for eating and it all looked really good. Kind of hard to choose one meal. Prices were decent, I just wish plain bottled water wasnt $5.00 each, that's kind of high. But I'd definitely come here again... ”

“ Probably some of the best food you will find on campus but the seating sucks because there is so many people there. ”

- Josh Sewell -

“ This place was an amazing experience! The only problems were, we couldn't figure out how to pay for parking. Also, I'm glad that the original rules are were they belong, Kansas! I didn't like how they were in a darkened hallway were you couldn't even see through the glass unless you pressed a button that lit up the whole place and the fact that everyone started looking at you as soon as the audio played. Also, Allen Fieldhouse should be open to the public! This was an amazing experience and will be returning! ”

- John Wesley Huss -

“ I really only ever go here for the food, but with that in mind: The staff are always courteous and quick, the building itself is very sleek and modern, and the prices are about what you'd expect for eating on campus. Probably more than I'd be willing to pay on a daily basis as I'm a big eater and could easily eat myself into a hole, but I can fill up pretty reasonably for a decent price when I go. ”

- Ian Penrod -

“ Beautiful architecture! You can visit the original rules of basketball that are housed in a hallway that connects DeBruce to Allen Fieldhouse. The food there is great, and the coffee shop has saved me multiple times. I would say though that their muffins are not the best. At least not the lemon angel food one. ”
