Naval Hospital, Camp Pendleton, CA 1970-72. Hot and plentiful. For the bull riders, motorcycle riders, and AIT recruits who "ran into a door, Sir" and had wired broken jaws, the staff would take their breakfast, lunch, or dinner order and blend it into a smoothie with a straw. Sometimes didn't look too appetizing with the veggies, but it got the job done. Some kids gained weight. ANY chow hall meal was better than long rats in RVN. :-) Met my wife at CPPEND 42 years ago. All good. Be Well.

Toss up between 82nd Avn Bde and SF chow hall @ Bragg. SF was all contractors and food was served from those chrome or silver servers with candles under it at one point.

SSBN 731 Blue. Our counterparts had cooks that won the Ney award for best small galley afloat. They could cook the same food our cooks made and there was no comparison.

+1 for 1st Tank Bn.
The galley at Pearl Harbor was another good one that I remember.

Fort Lewis Officer's Open Mess...FLOOM. Fantastic food!
Of course, I had to buy a sport coat to get in, but it was worth it. The coat was a ghastly red blazer and cost $5 off the clearance rack at the PX. I never wore it again.

Oh, and a very close second to the now-closed officers club at the Presidio of SF. Clinton gave the place to the hippies...:-(

That hall was famous for it's great chow. Permanent Personnel chow hall at the Depot was pretty darn good too.

Chiefs mess on the USS Independence CV62 was good, best food was the year I spent in Danang, until the Army took our galley over my last couple of months there.

McClellan AFB enlisted chow hall, 1972. There was an older SMSGT who ran the place, and he took it seriously. It was called "The Camellia Room". Best fried chicken I think I have eaten anywhere. Eggs and steaks cooked to order, and a damn fine array of pastries.

Clark Air Base, Phillipines...circa 1969 (now, I believe the entire base is buried under volcanic ash )

I'm going to have to change my view from my previous post here. My now best Chow Hall I've eaten at was Camp Holland DFAC on MNB-TK prior to the start of the retrograde, food was amazing, the food at Camp Ripley was good as well before they shut it down, never got to eat at the SF camp on base.

Da fuq!? That galley was worse than RTC! Horrible staff and stale food... Flightline Cafe at NAS Jacksonville is staffed by actual CS' and is leaps-and-bounds better by comparison.
