Usually a wonderful place, with a diverse array of food! However, it’s recently been very crowded, and seating has been hard to find!

Great selection of food,including halal options which was very impressive.

Student supervisors there are super unprofessional they steal food and let other workers steal food if you’re close to them. Toxic working environment.

Charged on entry, typical food service food, usually crowded and have to look for a seat

A decent experience with food at the dining hall of UW Madison. Its got variety of food. Make your own at a few stations. Cheap options available. Great for having a light snack too. Not the best deserts. Good place to hang out. Maybe get a little work done.

A variety of good food. Everyone will find something for themselves, something theyll really like. One stop eatery if you like 😋

Nice and big place. It has a very large place upstairs to held events, which is good. Food is nice too. Easy to get there by bus 80.

The meat is hit or miss but I love the stir fry and mexican. Salad is overpriced, pizza is sometimes dry, pasta is good but you have to ask for extra sauce, and apparently tea packets cost about a buck each...

This place has a lot of options. My children couldnt make up their minds.We finally settled on deli sandwiches and pizza. We were all pleased with our selections.The checkout process was quick and it was reasonably priced.The eating area was constantly being cleaned. So I appreciate their commitment to cleanliness.

Amazing food, and good choices to choose from, it is a buffet and they serve every meal of the day .Breakfast:$7.49Lunch: $10.05Dinner: $10.45They have loads of different choices of food, they do have veggie burgers and salads, all meals also come with a dessert if you want one.They do have burgers and cooked foods.Every thing that you could think would be at a regular restaurant, they have it. Weather its fruit, vegetables, vegetarian choices, meat, fries, a cookie or two, or you want something simple like macaroni.If your person that loves cereal, they always have that.Their eating tables are four different sections, depending on where you sit. They have a section right when you walk out of the area, two other sections just down the hallway and if you want to have a good eating view you can walk up the stairs and they have places that you can eat.But you have to rember that this place is by a lot of collage dorms, so there will be collage kids walking around.There may also be construction near by, depending on when you read this possibly across the street theres construction.I would definitely go anytime, very reasonable prices, amazing food, and good seating.

Probably the largest of the six dining halls on campus. They have multiple stations, with global cuisines, pizza, comfort food, salads, baked goods, etc. The menu changes every day so theres always a wide variety to choose from. Resident prices are 30% off and relatively affordable. The event spaces upstairs are large and spacious and often the location of cool events.

The food is honestly mediocre, but the price for students is unmatched. Pretty wide range of foods and they also supply foods for people with gluten free or vegan diets. Massive amounts of seating. The silverware can be a little dirty sometimes.

Great event center! I was there for UWEBC. Food is always tasty. Staff members are helpful and friendly. Technology always works as expected.

Staff was very rude and unhelpful. Would very obviously avoid looking at me when I was trying to get their attention to ask something. This was the full-time adult staff too, not the college kids. They rarely have enough staff during busy hours, so you have to wait 10-20 minutes in line at multiple food stations. The checkout line is usually halfway through the hall, making you wait another 5-15 minutes. The food is usually pretty decent but also unreasonably expensive if you’re not a resident.

Food is better than most on the campus. However this is a place strictly for student with meal plans. About 89% of the atmosphere is college students at all times. The lines can be astonishing long. Not the best place to eat when your in a hurry. They also do not like business outside of meal plans. All the checks outside have cash registers but they cant not accept cash. This is not posted anywhere as well. Me and countless other people have had to leave without a meal after waiting 15 mins because they dont accept cash.

Its a university dining hall. Theres a good amount of variety to the food, and some of it is actually pretty good, despite what people say. I do wish theyd put more effort into providing a variety of healthy items, though. If you have a student discount, its a much better deal to eat here than at a restaurant.

Attended a conference here on the second floor. All the campus dining options are on the 1st floor. Has a good amount of bathrooms so was able to not have to wait long.

Good place to eat when on campus. But it only takes plastic to pay with...NO CASH. This is a problem when you are bring middle and high school students to campus for an event. It would be good to have one cash register that is for cash.

Great event center! Food is always tasty. Staff members are helpful and friendly.

The place had wonderful food and quite a broad selection! I would certainly not mind eating here everyday. The building is not only nice, but it’s aesthetically pleasing AND the staff are very friendly. I would definitely not mind coming back for another visit!

Biggest selection of food items on campus I found so far good options everyday

Good enough if youre eating here using a wisc card, but gets really full. Also ginger root is the best here.

It is a college campus dining place, so I didnt expect the best. Its not what I got hit it sill do because the food I got was pretty good. Its Its a nice place for short.

Nice place to get lunch. Good spot for a conference too.

Pretty good food for a university dining hall. Nice clean space for studying

Not bad if you consider that its dorm food. They have a massive variety of food at relatively reasonable prices. None of the food is outstandingly good, but none of it is horrible either. Id highly recommend the quesadillas when Que Rico is open, however.

Martin Luther King community dinner 547 people served in 2.5 hours. Great service and food!!

Decent food at a reasonable price, with a good amount of options. However, the steamed veggies are usually really bland, and the açaí bowls are pretty expensive

Not bad food considering its a dorm cafeteria. The food is relatively cheap especially if you get the 30% resident discount for living with on campus housing. I recommend getting the waffles they are actually quite tasty. They accept wiscard here too which is nice. Most of Gordons customers are students or employees of the university. Not all stations in the cafeteria are open all the time so check online if you want something specific . I am pretty sure that past eight or nine at night the only thing really open is the coffee shop so do not be fooled by the hours listed on the door.

Great event venue. Staff is great and easy to work with. Really good food.

If you don’t really need workers don’t waste peoples time in this cold !!! Your supposed Screening system is completely based on nothing objective!NB => Never judge a book by his cover...

Generally clean, food is of moderate quality, but significantly over priced if you arent a student. The upsides are that theyve got a great balcony area and their coffee shop has ice cream too.

Has the best food out of the cafeterias in the South East area.

Big variety, Good Food !!! Close to the wrestling event at the kohls center

Found a bug and several clumps of bug eggs in the feta cheese from the salad bar on various occasions. The lettuce is always wilted and rotting. The food is way overpriced for having multiple health violations. They should be trying to provide healthy, good quality food for students without costing them so much.

WADRC HOSTED the Fall Lecture: New Frontiers i Alzheimers Diease Research. Very informative!

Most diverse food variety amongst the 6 residence halls.

Much more expensive than Rhetas, although I gave it 4 stars because of the Quesadillas. Oh god theyre so amazing definitely try them.

Always great. Many buffets and types of cuisine. Yum. Great prices too

Beautiful new commons, perfect place for our all staff meeting.

Offers a decent variety of food with many healthful options. Nice stuff

Very big place. Comfortable seating. Plenty of food choices.

Huge variety of food to enjoy! When I went there it was very clean and orderly.

For a residence hall living college student, it is probably a great option. Anyone else, you can find cheaper, better, and healthier food basically anywhere else.

Thank you to UW for the welcoming feel for the Sustainability Summit

Your average dining hall. Quite nice and clean, decent food. Nice study space too.

Great food and selection. Try the chicken quesadillas.

Cafeteria is efficient with a good selection. Cutlery and water cups are after the cashier by the seating. The event space is aesthetic and available.

A UW Madison dining hall and event center, that is located kiddie-corner from the Kohl Center, and the surrounding resident halls. It is open to both UW housing residents, and members of the general public.Gordon Dining and Event Center has a marketplace that consists of 8 different quick serve stations, including but not limited to: Capitol City Pizza, Que Rico serving made to order nachos, burritos and rice bowls, and Global Kitchen with its made to order stir fry. There is a late night menu served through a service counter open until midnight weekdays, and 1an Friday and Saturday.Along with the marketplace, there is the Bean and Creamery coffee shop, selling coffee and heaping scoops of Babcock ice cream! Theres also Flamingo Run, an in-house convenience store, selling a wide variety of both snacks and staples. Check out the wallpaper adorning the store with an image of the prank that the stores name originated from!Its worth a visit for a decently priced meal, or a quick bite before the game the next time youre downtown!

The majority of customers here are students as youd expect given that its right in an area with 5 or 6 dorms and a lot of other student housing, but UW faculty, staff, and the general public are also allowed to eat here. It gets quite crowded during prime lunch hours (11:30am to 1pm), but I really enjoy the salad bar, which is typically well-stocked with many options. Prices are reasonable.

Best place to eat. I wish I had explored it sooner

Fair prices for its location. Upper balcony seating area is the best place to get away from the noise of the weekend crowds.

I gave it this rating only because I see alot of poeple go in there. I have not eaten there. I am however working construction across the street from it.

This was an extremely nice facility. I attended a PhD hooding ceremony here.

Best dining hall on campus by far. It has the most options and great staff.

Ive now been here a couple of times. Many many selections. If you are in the U W area next to Amazon on Johnson St near Park St I recommend you try this. Prices are reasonable, no hassle and friendly staff. Desserts just sitting there are irresistible. Cafeteria style in a well designed inviting no hassle eatery. Even has an express section.It is open during the summer.Seats about 500 on the main floor and 200 on the upper section.There are rooms for university organizations use upstairs.Gordons is comfortable, friendly, and offers a great view of Johnson St. There is also outside seating.On the large lawn area in front of the building there is room to throw a frizbee or other such air born missles. and a basket ball court just off to the side of the building.See their excellent website, which includes their daily menuì

Student dining with a very large selection of food types reasonably priced for non students.

Lots of food selection. The price is great.

Great food multiple choices ala cart hot and cold foods salad bar desserts vegetarian too A must try

Usually has good selection and good prices. Pro tip: get a quesadilla with extra cheese at que rico.

Its institutional food - but its not bad and its the cheapest place to eat anywhere on campus

Best service ever, great fresh food

Cheap and quick but finding seating can be hard.

Good food options and pricing but primarily for students

This is a great place to get some lunch and study if youre a student. They have many options for food and always have events happening upstairs.

Its Very Beautiful & The Food Is EXCEPTIONAL!

Gordons is horrible. the only decent food is the quesodilla but i dont eat it because i am afraid of where it comes from. The girl just opens up a drawer full of frozen meat and cheese. thats disgusting!!!! the food is poor quality and tastes bad.

Good variety of good. Great tasting.

Great food and prices where very reasonable

Thete is always a nice selection of food, salad bar is above par, can grab pre made meals if in real rush and is very cheap compared to any other restaurant or cafe near by

Clean and decent food, very nice interior

The student staff arent properly trained or supervised, every year they increase prices while decreasing portion size, and the hours are much shorter than other dining options on campus. I am never returning to use this dining hall.

Awesome quick place for lunch. Can get a little busy right at noon.

Cheap food but better than high school food

Really great food with a wide variety of choices. Try their burrito bowls!!

Great place to study, eat, and attend events. Busy during lunch and full of students.

Lots of reasonably priced yummy food options for anyone and everyone!

Great food and service on campus life

Very nice place for a conference event. I come here for a monthly meeting

Best value is rice bowl with everything on it. 5 bucks

Pretty cool place, really enjoyed being there

It can get a little busy at peak times, however they have the biggest dining hall food selection on campus. Some items are really expensive, some are really cheap compared to making your own.

The food is awesome and is very cheap :)

Lots of food options and also great food

Pretty good food with surprising variety. Friendly staff.

Great place for events, ice cream, food and studying! Amazing dining experience

Surprisingly tasty food considering...

Im truthfully impressed with the facility and variety of food!

Always a large selection of food. Really well cooked.

Decent quality and selection for a cafeteria.

It depends on the day. However, there are a lot of options.

Good food for cheap

Very nice setup.

Pretty good for dorm food

Decent food for being student dining

You can pay in advance and have quite a variety of food to choose from, and they also compost food scraps.

The food is okay. Good place to study 😊

Dons, the g-spot, gordos. its like a 5 at a party, youre not going out of your way to go there but, its there if you want it

Arguably best dining hall on campus.

Nice university dining hall!
