Food has always been good, from apps to mains. I don't think I've had a burger here, yet...most recently I had the fried chicken, which had been well marinated and cooked - juicy, flavorful, plentiful. Vibe is always chill, here. Now that the weather's warming up, outdoor seating is available. I usually make a reservation, but my sense is for a couple one could almost always walk in without a rez and get seated quickly. One of my favorite east-side places...if it was a little closer to me I'd be there all the time!

I have to reduce several stars because:…read more 1. They charge garbage credit card transaction fees. Any percentage they charge will get deducted from tipping and discourage us from coming again. 2. They no longer validate parking in the garage behind it since several years ago. Street parking is limited and painful sometimes. 3. They exited Resy network a few years ago - that was one of the reasons we kept coming. 4. The food is still good but the quality is declining. The "+add brisket" option which costs $10 on top of the Mac and Cheese was the driest I've had in many years. They also removed menu items like duck chicken liver mouse which were really good.

The menu includes a variety of freshly prepared salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and breakfast entree's. I tried their chopped turkey salad, the Thai chicken salad, the lentil chili, and a one of their breakfast burritos. All were good. The salads were filled with fresh, colorful produce, had plenty of meat, and tasty dressings. Their lentil chili was hot, thick, and chalked full of legumes. The breakfast burrito was stuffed with sausage, eggs, and cheese, and definitely my favorite. They gave me sides of sour cream and salsa that I slathered on before every bite. It's a hearty way to start your day. The cafe and dining room were both spotless. You can tell the employees go to great lengths to keep them clean. The woman at the salad bar is true star. She cranked out bowl after bowl of salad and still managed to engage in friendly chats while customers while they were waiting. I had good experiences every time I visited.

There's casual fare here and no fine dining or anything out of the ordinary, so you aren't missing much. The staff that runs it do a great job and are friendly and keep up with the fast pace. Since this is for employees, it's only M-F and for breakfast and lunch only. There are other restaurants on campus and nearby that are open for dinner and are also open to the public, no employee badge required to get in the door. There aren't many choices when it comes to organic or vegan options. Restaurants include Noodle Bowl, Acapulco Fresh (Mexican), Lunchbox Laboratory (burgers), MOD Pizza, Post Alley (American) and a couple others. Some are over priced considering the cuisine and location while others are reasonable. Sometimes there are company events that take place outside that are sponsored by and catered by the Commons for employees' families and guests, generally for holidays.

Cafe 112 reopened after a renovation about three months ago. It has brought life back to a cafe…read morethat looked tired and small previously. This cafe has more food offerings now than before. In the front, there is a coffee bar which serves Stumptown coffee and has FROST doughnuts among its assortment of pastries. Further inside the cafe, you will find offerings including specialty deli sandwiches, NY pizza by the slice, Memphis style BBQ, a decent size salad bar and a burger bar. There is also a different local restaurant vendor in the cafe daily if you are in the mood for Indian, Mexican, etc. instead of the usual assortment. Everything here is done by computer including ordering and payment. It is a cashless cafe so you have to pay with a card. Prices are reasonable and it is closer to venture here than drive down the street to get something for lunch. Your receipt has a ticket number appears up on the video screen so you can tell when it will be ready by seeing how many other tickets are in the queue. This cafe has improved immensely. While I prefer the cafe in Studio H because of the Neapolitan pizza and fresh pasta offerings they have there, this location is no longer on my list of cafes to avoid on campus. It is smaller than other cafes, but the close proximity to my office makes it worth visiting.

This is a new Microsoft cafe that opened several months back in Building 83 which just opened up…read morejust last year and is the most recent new building on the MS campus. It is on property that was once owned by Safeco until Microsoft bought it. The cafe is located on the ground level of this forward-design building. The offerings at the cafe are rather standard, but not cookie cutter. Here you will find food stations serving burgers, chicken sandwiches/fried chicken, Neapolitan pizza, open faced sandwiches, salads, seafood, soups and teriyaki. Like other cafes on campus, this is a cashless cafe so only card payments and meal balance badge deductions are available. Though the concepts at this cafe aren't as eclectic, I like the food here. The chicken station reminds me of a MS version of Chick-fil-A and the seafood station is a credible on-campus alternative to Ivar's. The food prices here are cheaper or comparable to outside eateries. As for crowds, it didn't seem as busy as other cafes. Perhaps because it is further away from the main part of campus where a large portion of employees work. If you are looking for a less crowded cafe on campus with good food, I would recommend Cafe 83.

There's a decent Chick-fil-A clone, a sub shop, pizza, a salad bar, a Mexican place, and a great seafood cafe. Prices are all exceptional as to be expected for a subsided corporate eatery. At the end of the day, it's probably just as good as any other place you were going to go out to lunch at, except half of the price. What's to complain about??

If you're stuck at MS and can't get off campus for lunch, the pizzas here are relatively solid. Relatively. Overall the food here is bad enough that I've lost weight since starting at MS. I'll give this place a bonus star for hosting a board game night every Thursday at 5pm. They run an 18xx game plus one or two euro games simultaneously, depending on the turnout. It's not a big group, but the turnout seems pretty consistent.
