The food is just dandy, but the service is more than lacking. I came during a time they should expect to be busy (during the final Badger basketball game). I understand how the industry works, and that not everything can happen instantaneously, but the wait was due to a lack of effort from the workers, not the system. I showed up at 7:38, and there were about 5 people in front of me and a solo cashier taking orders. The cashier, while he was trying his best, was working slowly, which is fine, but during a busy time it makes sense to have someone experience here. The entire time I was waiting in line there was one orange shirted worker standing in front of the tv and one more there a majority of the time. They were not only blatantly doing nothing (including not opening a second register to slim the line), but they were staring at the tv and cheering with each bucket the Badgers scored. By the time I got finished with my very simple order (a roasted chicken sandwich with vegies on the side, nothing else) the time was 7:56, the food arrived at 8:05; 27 minutes from arrival to departure and a majority of it was spent waiting in a reasonably short line. Moral: dont take a study break to get food from the SETT if you want to be back to studying anytime soon.

OK, so I have been to The Sett a few times since it has been open and I have to say the quality of food and service is going down :-( They have a good American- Wisconsin type menu with burger, fries, cheese curds and beer( both local and domestic). When the it first opened, the food was good, not to salty, served within a timely fashion, and the place was clean. Now, the place is starting to good down. The last two times I went there my experience was horrible. The employees where more concerned about chatting then serving the customers. The food was under cooked and cheese curds were cold. The burger the last time was so salty I could not finish the burger. The condiments area was messy and needed to be serviced. I had to tell the employees that the condiments areas needs to be service. There always seems to be too many employees hiding behind the register talking instead of actually doing work. There is only two registers, it does not require five employees!!! Im not sure if there is manager but there needs to be one around at all times. Overall, I think this place is a decent place on campus but is going down really fast. Please keep a standard of excellence that was seen when the Union South first opened.

Ordered a mushroom Swiss burger with sweet onion fries. It was delicious! Giving this place a 3.0 because the table was sticky and unclean. But I did return another time for a chicken sandwich and fries. The food was good!

Love the Parmesan fries. Often has a decent beer selection. Always one or two upper-tier tap beers. This week they had Three Floyds Zombie Dust!!

This is a great place to eat at union, also during sporting event it offers a great screen to watch the game with your fellow badgers

Best food in Union South. Burgers are great! Check out the Neon Union Chair by the climbing wall!
