Great food!! One of my favorite spots to stop in the Ottawa building!

Convenient location. Quality food at a fair price.

Great Good! Very resnible prices. Full salad bar

This is a cafeteria in a State Building
You must have state employee i.d. or be signed in as a guest

Best cafe in the State of Michigan's Ottawa Building

Excellent

Great eats for government, down town lansing. Wish the salad bar was back to pre covid,

Located on "UL," which is one level down from main floor.

On multiple visits, I give it a 3/5. I think the salad bar should be monitored better for cold temperatures (appears to have been addressed), and the soups need to be much warmer. They have a variety of snacks and sides. On one visit, the french fries were nearly cold and definitely not fresh, and you have to ask for ketchup at checkout. I was provided two packets, and while I was initially annoyed at the stinginess, I think it's probably a good way to prevent people from wasting condiments. Overall, it's a convenient option with friendly staff, but be sure to temper your expectations before going in.
- Hot dog: good, consistent option.
- PBJ: not nearly enough PB or J.
- Tuna: no seasoning and small portion.
- Fish sandwich: pretty good.
- Grilled cheese: basic, but pretty good.
- Chicken strips: poor quality, mediocre processed meat.
- Tilapia: Overcooked, but still a solid option.
- Turkey melt: surprisingly good.

Not a bad place to grab a quick bite if you're an employee of the state of Michigan. The wings are better than horrocks, thereare plenty of salad bar options. And french fries if that's your thing. Checkout is kind of a mess and reminiscent of school cafeteria.

Food is ok but WAY over priced for what it is.

staff is rude on a regular basis UPDATE: other than the very nice and kind owner Ben, the manager is ALWAYS rude-if you can get her off her phone to handle a question-there was 1 other person in the cafeteria besides me...
