Patryce CritzMay 31, 2013Some of the best food ever! Tables are a little cramped so make sure to sit in the tables that are right behind the host station!
ansje millerMarch 3, 2012The black kale salad and the tuna appetizer seem to be your healthiest options and they are both fantastic.
SabrinaNovember 18, 2010Calamari breading is really salty. As everyone else has said ...mac and cheese..mac and cheese. Sliders r good too. Best place for late late night dining.
Von B EdwardsAugust 8, 2012The mac and cheese is hands-down the best I've ever had in NYC. Forget S'MAC, Cafeteria is THE place to go.
Miss ButterflyAugust 15, 2013The Tomato Basil Soup is amazing as well as their cheddar and fontina Mac-n-Cheese
DannyMarch 2, 2010again, me and my mac & cheese. if you're also a lover, you start w/ the "tasting of all three" appetizer... cheddar & fontina, smoked gouda & bacon, and truffle oil. can't go wrong w/ turkey burger!
Boberto PatricioDecember 15, 2012One of the better veggie burgers in town. Have one with bacon and a side of greens.
Gansevoort Hotel Group ManagerDecember 28, 2011The best mac and cheese, but if your in the mood for something special, try the mac and cheese spring rolls!
fabulous risotto shrimp! a little spicy, super creamy! Pretty delicious!!
Vivian BoylanJune 7, 2010Go to Cafeteria for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Awesome menu, great selections. I went for breakfast and had Country Breakfast Skillet. Delish!! Great service, too.
I highly recommend the original calamari & Mac & cheese with bacon.
Taj W.March 12, 2011Come get a bite at Cafeteria. Great restaurant, even though the staff are somewhat aloof. A lot of cuties if that's what you are looking for.
Mike NickersonMarch 22, 2016Avoid coming here on a weekend if you can. Much more enjoyable on a weeknight!
Stu ChamberlainJune 24, 2016I heard the mac and cheese is good. I had the roast turkey Thursday special, which was large and very good.
Gabriel HayesFebruary 28, 2016Love the Inferno Bloody Mary. Made with Skyy Vodka, flambéed Serrano pepper and a house-signature bloody mary mix.
Paige CMay 9, 2011Great place to celeb spot, but also, don't miss out on the mac and cheese spring rolls. They are a MUST.
Wesley StricklandOctober 14, 2011Make reservations unless you want to wait via open table or another app and don't leave without trying the Mac and Cheese!
LogoTVDecember 2, 2010Yummy food even when you aren't totally drunk from partying all night! I can't count how many times I am gorging myself here in full DRAGOONZ! – Manila Luzon, RuPaul's Drag Race, season 3
Daniel M.February 26, 2012The ice cream here is homemade! Order the kids dessert - 3 scoops and a cookie. :)
Justin SchierDecember 28, 2011Love this place BUT... Randomly closed when you expect it to be open - call first. Also, no grilled cheese at night??? WTF??
Francis UdlerSeptember 3, 2014Its ok, slightly over rated. Got the classic burger its okay nothing special. Fries are good and desert looked pretty yummy. Mac and cheese might be the way to go.
Jean TranFebruary 11, 2013Try all if the Mac and cheese!!!! Truffle oil? Buffalo chicken with blue cheese? Gouda and bacon??
Took them 10 mins to come say hi to me at my table then give me hot water to drink! But calamari is on point
GuySpy AppMarch 11, 2013Silver dollar pancakes will leave you feeling a bit more rich...and satisfied. Cute staff too!
Love this place. Amazing food and great for people watching.
Jason KooJune 8, 2013Do not get the blue crab roll. It's terrible. I'd stick to the Mac and cheese plates here--those stand out. And the old fashioned is fucking great.
Jenn CJuly 20, 2011Order the Turkey Burger. It is amazing especially with the sauce and avocado that is in the burger!
Jackie LopezApril 16, 2010Go to Cafeteria and order the lavendar & lychee cocktail-it's delicious. Try their turkey burger with avacado. It's amazing- best turkey burger ever!
Caryl Marie PerezAugust 16, 2011U can't leave here without trying the cheddar and fontina Mac & Cheese, it's like heaven in ur mouth!!
Gansevoort Hotel GroupFebruary 10, 2012Okay, everything here is either cheese-y or comforting...It's only natural that their tomato soup is out of this world!!
Sima DaMarch 16, 2014Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, great and affordable price for the quality of food
Ana AlanisJanuary 17, 2013The Pumpkin Crunch Sunday is the perfect combination between tangy and sweet. You have to try it.
Behind The BurnerSeptember 27, 2010The food may be delish, but the cocktails are even better! Jennifer Castillo shook up a Aloe Citrus cocktail that was to DIE for. Refreshing and unique; we love that it includes lemonade! Read more
Rafael GonzaqueMarch 24, 2012Came here to eat then party? Have the espresso martini to avoid crashing! Really good!
