They had a ton of food choices here. Hot food, sandwiches, burgers, pizza. Seemed clean so we ate here. I'm an Italian who made the mistake of getting the eggplant parm from a non-italian place. Don't do it. While it was good, it was really salty. I'm a salt person but it was just a little to much. Came with a choice of side Greek salad, rice, pasta, etc. I got the Salad and it came with a stuffed grape leaf. I didn't like it at all and I usually like them.
My mom got a piece of roasted chicken with steamed vegetables. She didn't complain.
Fast but homemade food. Great amount of seating. Lots of drink choice. Employees were okay.
$23 for 2 drinks and 2 entrees.
The food here for a hungry college student is edible. I like how the cafe has different sections setup so its organized. Theres a small pizza section with huuuge slices , large chicken peperroni and veggie rolls, beef patties, garlic sticks/ knots. The workers there are quick and friendly and always smile they put it in the oven asap. Then theres a hot food section to the right with pastas chicken rice and beans along with a salad bar to create your own or you can create your own roll , hero or panini sandwhich. I was a fan of the pizza and garlic sticks yes its expensive but portions are huge. I really recommend the fat sicilian slices. I did try their rice and beans too and i wasnt too much of a fan i felt it was quite bland and needed salt. However if your on the run they have huge yummy cookies like black and white to rainbow and chocolate chip and creamy cupcakes like red velvet. Also they do have breakfast teas and average lattes , you can make your own breakfast sandwhich but in the morning its packed. If you choose to stay they have tons of tables in the back which are kept someone clean depending on the time of the day. Despite the john jay discount i still end up spending at least 10-12 on my food which isnt worth the quality since some items are just average or not seasoned enough. I probably would come back here just to grab and go but i wouldnt be there frequently when they got tons of better options near by like boston market and chipotle too.
When I come here I only get one thing. The burrito. The other selections don't look appetizing to me and I didn't have a good experience with the pizza. The burrito is by far better than what I've had from chipotle or burrito box. I get mines in a spinach wrap with everything in it which includes (chicken, shredded mexican blend cheese, rice + beans, jalapeño, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole and more cheese :p) all of this comes out to $8 and change because of my student card. May I say, this leaves me stuffed all the time and it's great in quality and quantity. So I'd recommend the burrito or burger at this place.
Strokos succeeds because it's one of the few places in the area that has a wide variety of food for the midday lunch-eaters working in the area.
They have a salad bar, a pizzeria portion, a bakery portion, sandwich/panini area, and a hot food option. With such a wide variety of food, flavor and quality is sacrificed. There are a few good items, but overall this place is nothing special and the Manhattan prices definitely aren't worth it.
The employees are generally nice enough, though. When I've ordered a salad here it was generally substantial enough to be a filling meal. The pizza slices meet expectations but are overpriced. I can say the buffalo chicken slice is definitely hot.
One of my favorites is the sandwich with turkey, avocado, and bleu cheese on the multigrain bread. It's definitely packed with flavor, and the 1/2 size is filling enough for me, though still nearly $7.
Overall, this is a go to place if you just need to fill your stomach with little care for the palette. And wallet.
PS. Credit card minimum is $10.
What's to say? A decent deli, that's fast and has pretty much anything you're craving. It's a little overwhelming and disorganized. But, it does the job you're expecting it to: provide you with food at a reasonable price. I'd go back again!

Strokos is a good local deli shop that lets you grab lunch when you're in a hurry. Amsterdam Avenue near 58th street lacks food options of any kind and you usually have to walk down 5 blocks to find the next nearest deli. Strokos is a good place to grab sandwiches and salads. I'm a fan of the salads myself, the greens and ingredients are always fresh, there's a lot of options (I like adding artichoke and strawberries to my salads), and the price is reasonable.
