Empire State Plaza Food Vendors

Food is decent, friendly staff and prices are reasonable. I'd like to see some kind of customer loyalty program.

Decent food (for a caf), Internet, usually seats... What else do you want from an underground cafeteria in a public building?

Good variety of food options, service is fairly quick

Jon McFarlane

Great food but crowded early and often.

John Purcell

I typically get the chef's special for the day, which you can view online before heading over to it. The daily chef's special is usually fairly priced, tasty and includes a good portion size. There is a decent amount of seating inside, too.

I get their lunch salads which are great. There's a certain sparsity to the place, probably due to the COVID, but they still have some good choices. Last time I was there they were out of decaf 😕.

Decent offering a step above fast food options nearby. Comfortable booths, friendly staff. Still a cafeteria but they do try.

I've had great salads there, but got the Beef and Potato soup today and, if it wasn't for the long walk back, would have returned it. I removed several LARGE pieces of fat and hard gristle. Most of the "meat" consisted of a small amount of beef surrounded by chewy fat.

The food is decent, the prices are good, and the lines move fast. Service is typically friendly and there is plenty of seating. Definitely try their chicken wraps.

Decent food, but not worth the price

Good lord. I don't know where they get their "chefs" from but the food is sub par for the price they charge. Got some creamy chicken soup today and it's loaded with so much salt and pepper I can barely eat it. The soups are always some kids of weird mish mash and always LOADED with salt. The pizza isn't great but if you're desperate it does the trick. Chef's corner is iffy, don't get the chicken marsala....it's far from what you'd normally expect chicken marsala to be. WAY too expensive for the poor quality you get.

I ordered a tuna melt on rye bread. The bread was stale. The tuna salad tasted like nothing. Not going back there. Mazzone is living after an old reputation that doesn't exist anymore. I had a bad experience at 677, Aperitivo and Glenn Sanders Mansion. I'm done. I'm glad we have Yono's in Albany and other restaurants that serve casual tasty meals.

All the staff are really nice but every time I wanna order something from the grill someone starts wiping sweat from their face with their hands I am talking every time I don't think they're conscious of their actions and they keep on cooking I know it's hot but have a towel or something I will never eat here again

I just threw up the morning after eating the fried chicken. It tasted like it had been frozen and I physically couldn’t put my plastic fork through the crust because it was so hard and thick.

The quality is extremely inconsistent. It frequently changes from decent to disgusting. For the first time in my life, I threw out a chocolate chip cookie because it tasted so bad. 🤮

Disgusting, almost comically overpriced food. Friendly staff though.

It is only for people with money. When they see people looking to spend a little they prefer ignore them. Very expensive place.
