Food was okay and obviously a bit more since it is the only option. This was the same menu we saw posted at the Statue of Liberty Crown Cafe and same prices, yet that cafe has way higher reviews than this (not sure why).
When asking for food items August was a real jerk. Dude get another job. We asked a few questions and he was rolling his eyes like his job was so tough. While waiting he did it to another customer. We where there either Thursday or fri around 3.
We stopped here to have a quick bite on our tour of Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Food and coffee were average (we had steak sandwich) but the atmosphere of the immigrant hall canteen was cool.

Ellis Island Cafe offers decent food in large portions, with mixed reviews. While the menu may look good, some dishes can taste like cafeteria food, and there are mentions of small portions for the price. However, many diners enjoy items like the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, hot pastrami sandwich, mozzarella panini, and the new yorker burger. The prices are reasonable for New York, and the speedy service is a plus, making it suitable for solo diners or couples. The seating inside is slightly limited, but the space has a cool vibe with art that highlights the immigrant experience, adding to the unique atmosphere of dining there. The dining hall's walls are adorned with immigration history, which enhances the overall experience for visitors.
