“ The UW Plaza Cafe is far from regular hospital Cafeteria food. Bacon cheeseburgers, pizza, lasagna, salads, desserts, pies and cakes. Prices are middle of the road. Some items are discounted each meal time. Quality is above average and very good compared to most hospitals. Go Dawgs! ”
“ So many choices: hot entrees with vegetables, grilled chicken & burgers, fresh "build your own" pizza, plus cold packaged salads & sandwiches. Snacks & drinks to rival a mini-mart, doughnuts, and a large dairy section. I just wish they had a salad bar! ”
“ This has become a traditional dining location for me , as I have to come to UW for MRIs every 6 months and get food here between the MRI and the consult with my neurologist. Great selection, good mix of grab and go/cook to order/ prepared food. ”
“ We went the for breakfast before my daughters appointment. My daughter had the tots and a ham and cheese breakfast crossant. I had a fabulous corned beef hash! It had onions and garlic it was perfectly cooked and a great amount. The egg was cooked wonderfully too. I also got the greens, my complaint was it was 1 serving for 2.00. The staff was efficient and friendly. 15 for breakfast for 2. Great deal for higher then expected quality food! ”
“ For the most part, I have had great experiences there. Yesterday morning, May 7th, was first unpleasant experience that I had. I have been going there since Feb. 2014. The food is decent for a cafeteria. My unpleasant experience was being served burnt hash browns by a female whose attitude seemed to be a little burnt. I was reluctant to decline them. I ate the portion that was not burnt. ”
“ Its a hospital cafeteria and it actually has pretty good food for what it is. I go here sometimes just because it is cheap. You can get a lunch here for under 10 dollars. ”
