Simons Center Cafe

Pretty good. Lunch was actually not as expensive as I thought it would be (about $ 20). Tried the duck sandwich which was alright but kind of dry. Three sides were good (quinoa, green beans, salmon orzo). I wouldn’t come here all the time but happy I did try it before graduating. Rooftop seating was cool

Let’s face it, there isn’t really any good place to eat on campus. Simons Center Café is one of the better places. However expect to pay a premium for mediocre food. The prefix lunch menu is ~$ 20, and there’s a nice selection of bottled cream sodas, sparkling water, etc. But honestly this is wayyy out of a student’s budget for a meal.

Ok. Actually it was just ok. I mean the food. I have one more star for its great location. Every time the food is different.
Prix fix for lunch is $ 18 now. You can have two courses. One was salad, the other was the entrée. I had ribs today which was mediocre, tasteless. I’d rather pay a higher price for the taste in Manhattan.
It depends, hope you are lucky you are eating there when provided with tasty food.

Food is different everytime I come here. It’s quite expensive but I’ve actually never come here where I had to pay. Usually always here for some event, or meeting.
The food is typically 1 main dish and 3 cold salad/​side dishes and always seems to taste great. Portion size is just right for a meal, but again quite expensive (coming from a point of view of a student). Everything they serve is good and quite healthy. I really enjoy their salads; all made from healthy fruits and veggies and tastes Oo so fresh.
I would recommend this to anyone especially if you have a guest from out of town and want to eat something healthy but still delicious. This would be the place to go.
FYI this is like a cafeteria style dinner. But the casualness kind of makes the food that much more enjoyable. Especially with a nice view they have.

A great place on campus. I have been here enough to know it will be good the next time I visit. You can expect to get quality food. Not sure of how to categorize the cuisine.
The employees treat you well and speak English very well, which when both combined is a luxury at stony brook. The dining room is peaceful and clean.

I think the sizes of portions for the same price reduced noticeably since a year ago. Before you could have a soup, an antre and choice of salads for 20 $ (14 $ for Simons Center visitors and math department members). Now it is either salads or soup and the main dishes are very small. And the quality of the main dishes is not brilliant either. Some of the choices are pretty boring sandwiches, sometimes pizza slices. Though the soups and salads are still very tasty.
