One of the best places to spend your BRBs. Plenty of food option from burritos and omelettes in the morning to burgers, salads and ramen for lunch. Staff are friendly and there are plenty of space to sit. Space upstairs are more quiet and you can go through to Kennedy hall from upstairs.

Excellent place to eat food. They have a huge variety of foods. I actually like them better than the dining halls because the salad bar has more options and is more organized. They also pay by the lb for a lot of stuff, so you don't have to feel compelled to stuff yourself to get your money's worth. On the go snacks are available too.

I enjoy going to Trillium; compared to other dining options on-campus or in collegetown I think it strikes a fair bargain. The burger, quesadilla, and burrito bowl are my favs but the other food there is decent as well. The bbq pork is always good.

The grand slam is pretty good--haven't gotten anything else, but the people were pleasant and that meal hit the spot. Wish the coffee was better though.

There are a great number of options here, from Chinese, to Mexican, from salads to pasta. Huge portion sizes that are very affordable for the quantity, particularly at the chinese and burrito stations. Trillium is a Cornellian staple and deserves to be that way.

Junlin Yi
Junlin Yi

Pretty good selection of food, from burgers to Chinese takeaway to burritos to ramen to pasta. The quality is decent, but prices run a tad high. Overall, a convenient stop for lunch when it's not too crowded.

Christopher De Jesus

Lots of great options. A great place to blow big red bucks if you have them, otherwise a little pricey. The food and options are just so good though. Warning freshman/newcomers: if you're schedule is right, you will find that halfway through the semester you have gained 15 pounds and all your big red bucks are gone. Consider this your millionth, and not last warning.

Erick Vargas

Great place to eat on campus. Many options for many people. Like any other restaurant, the wait time for food will depend on the time of day. Lunch​ time is usually full and it's empty towards closing. There are many tables and the staff is constantly cleaning. The prices are a little on the higher side, but that's to be expected for a college restaurant. On a side note: personally, I recommend the burrito wraps.

Nicholas S. Kaczmar

Good variety of foods for the college crowd- gets very busy during the "in-between" class time points, so plan out your trip to get food or you will spend your entire lunchtime standing in line for a burger..

Lines are massive when kids are in school. Best to go 15 minutes before the hour when kids get out of classes. Good selection of food tho

M

The lines are miserable at lunch time. Most of the food is made fresh which is nice for a college dining room. The quesodillas are my favorite.

Mavis Lin

Above average pricing for the sake of convenience. The chicken ramen noodle taste great! (In the beginning of the semester, some staffs added too much soy sauce and charged overrated, but by the end of the semester the operation becomes normal and the noodle improves in flavors too!).

William Shipley
William Shipley

Ok food. Wok Station: The sesame chicken was hard and the lo mein was too cut up and oily. $7 for a small portion? Pass Quesadilla Station: I tried the chicken quesadilla. It was fine. Dissapointed in the portion size. Again, not worth the high price Ramen Station: I think this is one of the better places.

Trillium is very good when it comes to college food service. There is a plethora of options, from make your own salads to a customizable pasta bar. Soups, chicken fingers, fries, burgers, quesadillas, pizza, hot wraps, and Chinese. One of the best General Tso I've ever had anywhere! Lots of seating downstairs with a second level as well. The floor to ceiling windows look out onto Tower Road.

The tomatoes pasta might be a little too spicy for someone who doesn’t usually eat spicy food

Although there are many options, I wouldn't want to come back here. I've been here twice. The Chinese stall's food was decent. I like that it's delicious but not too oily. The portion is also large. I could easily kept half of it for another meal. However, the chicken ramen that I have just eaten ($9.49) was terrible. Undoubtedly the lowest quality ramen I have ever eaten in my life. My palate for ramen is probably higher than many people here, simply because I had eaten many good ramens in Japan and had cooked some of them by myself. But the taste here is just so sad. There is no dimension to the dish at all. The chicken broth is so bland - and mild as if it has been diluted with the ratio of 1:5 of stock to water. The onsen egg is overcooked. The noodles' quality is the same as that of the cheapest type you can find in grocery store. This noodle might not go so bad with a heavily sauced yakisoba. But with such a boring soup, it has no taste. The chicken isn't too bad. But the texture is so dense that it's difficult to eat. The spring onion is sliced too thick. The Napa cabbage and carrots are so tasteless it shouldn't even be here. The most acceptable thing of this bowl is the canned corns. It doesn't taste much. But at least it doesn't disappoint me. Btw, I understand that this is cafeteria good and that it's unfair to judge it the same way I usually do with those in ramen restaurants. But you can read this as an honest reaction of someone who came here as a customer. The food filled my stomach but left me feeling empty and hungrier than before I entered this dining hall. The lack of care in this bowl strongly reminded me why I want to cook tonight.

Scott Allen

It's very overpriced for cafeteria food. Edit: After six months of trying everything they serve, the burger and the breakfast burrito are the only good options. Everything else is the worst version of that thing I've ever had. The worst ramen I've ever had, the worst taco I've ever had, the worst fried chicken I've ever had, the worst pizza I've ever had, etc. If you go, just stick to the burger or the breakfast burrito. If you want fries, ask them to make you some fresh ones. The fries under the heat lamp are not worth having, but the fresh ones are yummy. The staff there is very friendly and helpful.

Samuel Packer

I want to throw up thinking about eating here. They have one or two decent options, but mainly the food can be flavorless, take too long, or be over or undercooked (still safe though), this applies to things like vegetables and pasta, not so much meats, which will be overcooked not undercooked. I do I have to say this location is great, but for the number of people that eat here it needs to be drastically improved.

Adriana Veliz
Adriana Veliz

I have no complaints about the food, the pricing is slightly high but decent for the most part. However, the customer service is terrible. I get ridiculous amounts of attitude from "Miss Libby" the inadequate cashier every time I go and it absolutely ruins my experience. This is just unacceptable, I am a paying customer and I deserve to be treated like one.

Justin

Everything is very over priced. Used to get food for lunch everyday. Simply can't afford to. Overpriced heavy.
