As a graduating student, my opinion of the egg is not good. I've never heard any of my classmates say anything positive about the egg either.
First and foremost, it's the student's designated food hall. there are 4 and half other restaurants on site, which pull in a lot of tourists. there's also literal your groups that come through, and the students deserve to have a space free from tourists and random people staring at them.
The tables are always dirty, especially during dinner, because a few specific staff members spend most of their time chatting instead of actually cleaning. I've gotten into a habit of turning the table to the cleanest side before eating.
I went to a friend's food hall, and was blown away. Tables were clean, you didn't have to wait for food, and their meal plan was far more accommodating. I'd say on average, their food was at par with the Egg. And they don't even have a culinary program.

This place was one of the greatest places we ate at on our trip to NY. 1. Because it was delicious! I wish we could’ve tried more new things we had not tried. Try some new food! It’s delicious! 2. The students and staff were very kind and helpful. 3. The coffee bar and smoothies/green juices were delicious! They put everything in a cup for you to see fresh and then blend it. 4. They have Crowlers with 4-5 beers you get sealed to take and some cool souvenir cups. 5. Lastly, $ value for your money! Great food for a great value. Probably the best food you’re going to have for a great value in your stay in the State of NY. Many great options for most food groups.

The students working there are dedicated to providing the utmost service and taste. They serve all halal beef and chicken. The head chef also made sure that the food was allergy free. We were very happy with the quality, taste, and service. Thanks for the epic meal! We ordered the special beef burger with eggs, which was delicious! We will come here again. 😋

Never been to an on-campus sight at a culinary institute that has an amazing large open space with fresh organic food made on premisis the view was amazing, the chefs in training were all knowledgeable and friendly. Me and my family literally spent 3 hours there and loved every minute.

Never again! I ordered a draft and waited 40 minutes—every time I asked, they just told me “5 more minutes.’ It turned out they needed to replace the keg, but nobody explained what was going on. I’m not angry about the wait, but how they handled it. They had every opportunity to handle the situation better, yet chose to ignore me. I never got the beer and had to ask for a refund. C’mon CIA you can do better

This was so disappointing. You would expect at least decent food . The chicken was cubed so bad and so large made chicken tough and unedible . Frozen fries. Filthy showcases . I was shocked.

The food is terrible and overpriced. living on campus I can't afford to eat much else, but sometimes i actively choose to be hungry over eating there.

Dietary restrictions: I had to learn the hard way that the coffee bar has hidden dairy in their flavored syrups. they don't typically disclose that info. there is little to no plant based protein available, and it's very hard to get a balanced meal.

I was visiting and just wanted a coffee and danish: mistake! Coffee was terrible, tasteless. Danish they do not make themselves (!), I assumed they had a bakery and the pastry would be great. It was small and just awful. Just stick to the fabulous soups and entrees.
