Best dining hall at Cornell hands down. Always consistent and they stay open late. However, once they ran out of crème brûlée before I could get some. I will never forgive them for that

Best dining hall at Cornell. Cook never fails to cook. Had the bbq chicken, coleslaw, and curly fries today. They have ice cream just like other dining halls, fresh cut fruit, cookies and brownies. Tried the mandarin oranges for dessert this time, was pleasantly surprised. Bbq chicken was juicy but a tad bit too salty this round. Curly fries were good, and coleslaw was solid as usual. They have a selection of drinks too, but none with sugar.

Last Friday’s menu said they will have ice cream but we found none :( The desi foods and others tasted amazing except the Madrasi chicken that kinda felt chewy and there were spicy tofu bites. They were so sweet, the first bite was a burst of flavors and felt so amazing. But having multiple sweet bites wasn’t a good idea at least for me. Kinda diminished the appeal of the flavor! Liked their egg salad and fish salad a lot.

Pretty good dining hall on west campus

The best dining hall on west no doubt... I see why it's called “cook” house now, bc whoever in the kitchen whipping it up knows what they're doing. The food is the best, the people are so nice and really give you a good amount of food. Never change Cook.

Really good food

I like this dining hall! The hall is beautifully decorated with lots of colorful flags. So, it gives a really pleasant first impression. This is my first time here and I found the quality of both and desserts really impressive. The choice is limited, but they are tasty and pretty healthy. The arugula salad with pickled red onions and cheery tomatoes was sooo good in its own that I didn't even need salad dressing. Sourdough bread was a farmer-market-level high quality one. The whipping cream feels like it's made of real milk and the chocolate cake didn't feel too sugary. They seem to be attentive at providing vegan food (and desserts). But I didn't see much variety eg. no Kosher/Halal/Asian/Middle Eastern food. (But so far I have only been there once so I don't know how the selection will be in other days!)Ps. There was a tiny stage in this dining hall. There was a drum performance on the day I visited it. That's interesting! It's great if you like this sort of thing. But no so good if you prefer quietness during meal time.

If you like variety you're better off in North campus dining halls, Cook dining does not have that many options but it has a homey feel and good ambience.

Generally speaking, I am a fan of Cook house dining. It's the only West campus dining hall open until 9 pm, which I greatly appreciate. Best days of the week to be here for dinner are Monday (for Mexican) and Thursday (for Chinese).

A fantastic Cornell dining hall since it is one of the few that is open until 9pm, an hour later than most of the others.
