Got 2 halves of a meatball for my entree today, a typical serving size here. At least there's a place to sit

It’s a decent place to get food on campus. It can be hard to get a seat during lunchtime and the lines can be long. Food choices are good, ranging from pizza to sushi to sandwiches to salads to various entrées

The student restaurant located on MIT Vassar street, in addition to MIT students, also welcomes others to dine. Meals range from burgers, sushi, salads, bento boxes and sandwiches, all at great prices and generous portions. This time I ordered a beef burger and salad. You can add your favorite toppings to the burger, such as onions, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes, plus some mayonnaise. It’s a good choice for lunch. Salads are weighed (0.99 yuan per pound) and can be topped with a variety of lettuce, paired with chicken or beef, and there are many nuts, millet, cheese and salad dressings to match. For lunch, it's convenient, delicious and reasonably priced.

Mediocre quality, poor selection, lack of creativity - all relative to the high cost. Proximity/convenience is the only positive.

Most of the Forbes Café costumbres are MIT staff or students but it also welcomed outsiders. It's kitchen is always clean and it has an small menu with a variety of healthy food. The staff is friendly.

The food is OK, but there are no vegan options and the sellers are not friendly and not nice. The coffee is usually bad.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can get there with a wheelchair.

Not much variety but will do in a pinch, should do self service machine and discount for staff

They sell basketball here or not?

Very centrally located; great place to host meetings, catch up with friends, or do work!

If you go to the coffee stand be prepared for slow motion experience. If you have homework bring it with you and do it while you wait to be served. They give a new definition to the term slow motion. They win the title every time.

Inhospitable checkout staff. Large variety of options, but lackluster execution and small portions.

Kylee Arsenault

The food here is really good for being college campus food. The pizza is excellent, but the prices are quite high.

Josh Lewis

I don't know what they do differently but the pizza is pretty damn good here.
