It's not perfect by any means, but honestly I think this place is pretty good for college cafeteria food though a little more expensive than what I've seen on other campuses. Typical selection of burgers and sandwiches and cheese curds (because this is Wisconsin, of course). Plus any college that sells beer in the Union gets extra stars in my book! When is Iowa going to get on that?
I'm not too crazy about the atmosphere inside the building so of course the best part about coming here is taking your food out on the terrace during the summer and just enjoying some of the most picturesque views the Midwest has to offer. Some of my best college memories include sitting on the terrace, just chilling with friends and drinking beer while doing some people watching.
3 stars for the food, 5 for the view, 5 for the memories. If you ever find yourself on the UW Madison campus while it's still reasonably warm out, stop by and get some beer and cheese curds and sit out on the terrace for a truly magical experience.
