I don't think I'll be back. There has been some kind of sports talk show on the TV blasting so loudly i can't have a conversation with my partner. We moved to the table that seems to be farthest away from the speakers and it's still pretty ridiculous. It's incredibly abrasive and not a pleasant or enjoyable environment. If you have sensory issues... you may want to stay away.

Too few plant based options. Great place for lots of kids, as it's designed.

Very good choices of foods, can get quite busy at peak lunch hours

“Limited menu” means almost nothing but chicken tenders and fries. I’m trying to eat healthy and couldn’t get carrots and celery. Beer taps shut down. I guess I’ll have a piece of cream pie for dinner.

I’ve been to The Sett a couple of times since I’ve been a student at UW, but until today, have only really tried their burgers (which are decent enough). I honestly wish I hadn’t decided to branch out and try their boneless chicken wings with garlic parmesan sauce, because it was one of the most bizarre eating experiences I’ve had. The wings have the consistency of tofu and taste like the most subpar popcorn chicken. Not only this, but the sauce weirdly tastes like cream of mushroom soup, and has the same thickness. I’ve had better experiences eating Rhetas buffet-style sushi at 4pm than this. Besides the aforementioned chicken incident, I don’t have too many complains. The staff are wonderful, food gets done in a reasonable time, and most of their other food is pretty on par with the rest of the university restaurants. Just whatever you do, don’t get the chicken.

The food is decent, and they sometimes have events like trivia nights or live music. Additionally, the bowling alley and game room is great fun for a group hangout. However, they sometimes have limited options for the items on their menu, and usually if you arrive at 7pm or later, they only serve drinks and appetizers (fries, cheese curds, etc.).

The set ran out of beer on Commencement Day before the ceremony even started at noon!! Badger families want to celebrate too!

Good food on campus that's in a central location.However, recent changes to the menu have become much more rigid and dont allow for substitution or removal of sides, which I dislike.

Food was decent, but nothing fancy. The atmosphere is nice for an afternoon Badger game with a huge projection screen.

First time ordering here at Sett. Wasn't in the mood for a burger, so I went to try their new Buffalo Chicken Wrap. I'm glad to see they have a grilled option, as I cannot consume alcohol in any form (all their fried items are beer-battered). However, that does include their fries, hence why I got carrots and celery.The wrap itself was about decent. For some reason, I wasn't expecting a cold sandwich. As in, the sandwich came from the refrigerator to my plate. The fact that it took 15 minutes and it wasn't even hot is really interesting... It was alright, but I think I'll order a burger next time.

This is one of those places that you just have to go to get the full madison experience. Food is more expensive than it used to be, but still very good.
