Where to begin, Four Lakes Market, or more commonly ‘Flakes’ (contraction of four lakes) typically has a wide range of food selection and styles. Including texmex, pasta, home style, Greek, and more! The variety doesn’t stop with the food! The atmosphere is accommodating to all, sports section? Got it. Floor to ceiling window views of Lake Mendota? All throughout! Cozy fireplace? You got that too. Plenty of options for seating of all groups or just yourself, though limited if you come during a rush. Overall, things operate exceptionally smooth!

Four Lakes isn’t too bad. People complain about the service or quality of the food but it’s student dining so can’t expect too much. As one of the larger dining halls on campus, the selections are pretty good, though it can be busy during meal times. There are a ton of dining areas, a fireplace, and some small booths that are great for concentrated studying. The only con might be that it’s not on the way or close to any classes if you’re in a hurry and don’t live in Dejope.

Food is pretty good for campus food. Service is pretty slow, especially for food that is not pre-cooked. It is usually clean. I would rate 4 stars if the service was faster. Prices are also, in my opinion, pretty steep considering you are not getting waited on and most of the food is just okay. I recommend going to Rheta’s Market as it is only $5.50 for all you can eat, especially if you are really hungry.

Dejope is my favorite place to eat on campus. Healthy, affordable and lots of options. However, it could definitely be improved.

The staff here primarily consists of students who generally work hard to provide helpful service. The food itself is generally average with no exceptional standouts, but for a University Housing resident the discount on all purchases with your Wiscard make your meals well worth it. The menu varies day to day. I personally enjoy the pulled pork at 1849 (one of the many subrestaurants), just make sure to steer clear of the sauce because it is so sweet that it buries the rest of the flavor. Overall, it’s an absolute must for University Housing students but there are better options if you’re a visiting parent or are looking for an outstanding Madison restaurant.

I chose the salad bar for lunch since there was a nice assortment of very fresh ingredients to build the salad from. There are also stations that have many other types of food and beverages. Seating options include inside or outside tables and chairs. Overall a very nice place to grab a meal whether you’re by yourself or with friends or family.

Great dining hall for UW students, faculty, and visitors. There are plenty of options to choose from. The staff work hard to keep food available and to make your visit great. If you ever want a waffle at 9:00 pm this is the place to go.

Pretty good cafeteria. Try the cucumber avocado sushi! It (and the egg rolls) are the best things there. If they don’t have that, get a grilled chicken sandwich or burger.
