Trillium

Their salad, burrito and pasta are fine. Avoid Chinese food. They are salty and taste like plastic. I also find their burger to be mediocre. Line is very long during rush hours.

Best on campus dining location. Morning yogurt bar is a great, healthy option. For lunch, salad bar remains a quintessential favorite, but the new advent of pasta by design is similarly noteworthy. Prices are high and will eat BRBs like none other, but worth it!

Another one of my favorite lunch spots during college! Get the chicken fajita quesadillas. So spicy and good!

This is my favorite place to eat on Cornell’s campus. They have a great variety of food and are pretty fast, unless the lines are out the door.
I love getting quesadillas, Chinese food or the Asian noodle bowls. The noodle bowls are now the cheapest thing on the menu and are really filling. This year they started offering veggies as an option, which is actually really good. $ 4.85 for the veggie noodle bowl.
The one annoying part is that the quality of food can change quite a bit depending on who makes it. Consistency across the board is lacking. What changes the most is the portion size depending on whoever makes it.
Overall is is the most convenience location for the Ag quad and it has some great options.

Trillium has the best variety out of all the cash eateries on campus. The salads are huge here. If you just want a normal salad, you get more for your money at this location than the ivy room. However, the choice of ingredients is far better/​fancier at the Ivy room.
You will probably enjoy the heating bin chinese food station if you prefer deep fried chicken in generic gloppy sweet sauce (orenge, sesame, general tso). I you prefer chinese food that doesn’t fit that description you should probably stay away.
The noodle bowl station might just be one of the best values on campus; these bowls consist of noodles (wheat or rice), choice of beef chicken or tofu and comes with scallion, cilantro and a soy sauce based broth. The tofu bowl is $ 3.99, and a meal in itself!
There is a station that gets you a drink, hot entrée and two sides for 6.99 and this food can vary depending on the day of the week. I absolutely loved the Mediterranean theme one week but was disappointed to see it go away. I find the indian food and the pulled pork options sub-​standard at this station. Other stations include your standard wraps, burgers, fries etc. and in my opinion all of these stations are just OK.

Overpriced food, Chinese food is hella greasy unless you get dibs on the first batch of whatever is cooked at least then it is edible and has not been marinating in itself forever.
Good variety but place is way too packed. Turkey club is good, so are the quesadillas. Water was sometimes charged for getting the cups… which is ridiculous but whatever. Overall decent food, too high of prices.

Pretty good food but not great and it’s usually pretty crowded. I like their make-​your-​own breakfast parfaits and the omelettes look good. Not a fan of their chicken tenders… for that you’d be much better off going to the Terrace in the Statler Hotel – Mac’s is also good for sandwiches. The Statler is soo much better and the Terrace’s fries and salads are also way way better. The Chinese in Trillium is kind of greasy but I don’t mind it. I used to like the Mexican pizza but I think they stopped making that. Trillium’s better for breakfast I think which ends too early for me. I don’t really like the wraps and I’ve heard bad reviews from friends of the Meditaranian? section. There’s this noodle dish you can get in the Asian corner but it’s only ok and it makes me feel kind of sick after awhile.
It’s easy to spend a lot here in BRBs (Big Red Bucks) and a lot of students end up adding more BRBs later in the semester so I’d recommend saving the money to eat on campus if you have a meal plan or just going to the Statler or even the Ivy Room in Willard Straight if you’re too hungry to wait. Definitely much better food there but still just as crowded in between classes.

I spent too much time eating here as a student…

I actually didn’t really like much of the food here, besides the salad bar and breakfast. Everything else was average or forgettable. The location was perfect for me though, as I am in the Ag school. The grill was also decent. The Mexican and Asian corners were just not up to par at all. Also, it always gets really crowded so you end up sharing a table with other people or having to wait really long to find seating.

Best curly fries ever. I would’ve trekked over here even if I wasn’t an aggie!

the most convenient dining hall for ag kids, trillium. but even if it weren’t for the convenience factor, i’d still find my way there for their single winner of a lunch plate, the seafood platter. fried fish and shrimp and clam strips with tartar sauce. this was my introduction into the scrumptious world of fried clam strips. and i’ve been on the hunt for more crispy, meaty clam strips since leaving campus.
