Risley Dining Ithaca Reviews
I like the Chinese bbq ribs and the nachos are always fire. This dining hall is smaller , which I like because I can actually find where things are. I appreciate the easy to find trash can. Good food choices, aesthetic atmosphere. The only issue is that the desserts are pretty bad. The brownie tasted like dirt and the cake had overly sweet icing. Also lack of ice cream.
Great food, plate disposal is a little more intensive than the other dining halls.

IMO the best on North Campus and one of the best in all of campus. Has less choices but items are better made and tastier.
Best dining hall at Cornell😍
Great for gluten-free.

Must go place for gluten and lactose intolerant. The all you can eat diner offers a variety of starters, salads, soups and main course items. The staff is courteous and will happily take requests. You also get Cornell dairy ice cream(not sure if that was lactose free)
Risley offres a somewhat sizable arrangement of delicious food! Risley has many great options for vegeterians and vegans; it's also completely nut free. The atmosphere at Risley is that of an elegant, high ceiling, Hogwarts-like, dining hall. I would recommend Risley if you're looking a good feel of Cornell dining halls.

Good food, not a lot of options and you have to clean your own plate. Seating is somewhat limited.

Poor selection of fruits and vegetables and pathetic attempt at Mexican cuisine— this place will be the reason why I will cry myself to sleep tonight. If God truly exists, he would not have allowed this non-air-conditioned, sour-smelling Satan’s armpit to exist. If you are looking for food that looks and tastes like this, I think Walmart’s pet aisle has cheaper and better options. As I shoved spoonful after spoonful of this barely edible concoction down my abused mouth, I wished that I am the chandeliers that dimly illuminated this place— hanging motionlesly from the ceiling.
