Quality Food served fast. I had the Baked Beans and Fire Braised Chicken sandwich. Sandwich was good but very soggy on the bottom which is not great. Beans were savory and had bacon if thats your thing.

Our wedding at the union was fantastic! Sam Mack (venue coordinator) was a great communicator and all of the Union Staff was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the planning process and day-of.
We had our ceremony in Tripp Commons and our cocktail hour and reception in Great Hall. The food was good (not the best I've ever had, but also not the worst), the cocktails and drinks were great, and it was so nice not having to make a million different decisions. They really guide you through the process which was exactly what we were looking for. The Union has done hundreds of weddings and it really shows. The whole day went very smoothly and the price was right! Would highly recommend, especially for UW grads!

The Memorial Union/Terrace is such an iconic location in downtown Madison and we are so grateful to have had our wedding there after meeting each other in undergrad. Sam Mack, the event manager we worked with, was so helpful throughout the process and helped us make decisions if we were having trouble deciding something and all his suggestions were spot on. He was extremely communicative, responsive, helpful, and organized. He made planning the wedding a breeze and it was so helpful that so much is done in house that we really didn't need to worry about finding a number of other vendors or coordinating with multiple people. It was also such an affordable venue compared to others we looked at and the vibes are unlike anything you will ever find anywhere else.
The venue itself was gorgeous. With the ceremony overlooking the Terrace, the people outside enjoying a nice day with their friends and families were all so excited and supportive of us when we were walking around and you won’t get that at any other venue. We had people at the terrace buy us beer and got such fun and iconic pictures because of it. The terrace crowd erupted in cheering and applause when we kissed at the end of our ceremony and it was such a fun, memorable, and cool memory.
The staff were all so helpful and efficient. Dinner was served to everybody as fast as I’ve ever seen at any other wedding I’ve been to. The food was delicious, and from what the other vendors told us, the managers make it so easy for them to get in, get out, and set up/take down. The bar staff were so helpful and kind, and we couldn't be more grateful or appreciative to have gotten married at the Memorial Union. It was the best decision we made, hands down, especially as alumni. We would highly recommend doing your wedding at the union!

Great food last time is stopped by. They have new pork from varsity meats. The fire braised chicken sandwich with Mac n cheese was great too!

I like this place! They provide first-cleass dishes, they have a nice menu, The chef in that place is very trained, I enjoy very much eating all their dishes. The dishes are consistently fresh and tasty, the service towards the guests is agreeable. I visit often this restaurant and I was never unhappy. I recommend it with no hesitation.
It was easy to reserve a table through Open Table but we missed the part about needing a $5 day pass which you need to get on another app. Then download GrubHub to order food and drinks. The staff were so friendly. But we were seated in a corner with no view by a rat trap. That was disappointing. The food is football food. Not the best but I guess expected. The really nice thing was not the usual terrace crowds.
Picture of our view. And yes, there were other tables open.

I was at a reunion in Madison and was determined to get a brat and beer. The Brat Stand, a grill on the terrace of the Union, was just what the dr. ordered. The brat was juicy, perfectly grilled and topped off with sauerkraut, an ample meal for only $4.75. With a delicious amber beer, it was the perfect trip down memory lane.
