Union Drive Marketplace - Ames

There is a good selection of dishes. They had sushi Fridays until the last semester (case 2020), do not know about the next semester. The desserts include cookies and various types of brownies or cakes that are very tasty. Love of the place

The full-time staff here are very hard working, helpful and friendly! For all their efforts to quickly feed pupils, including the shortage of workers. This is a college dining center, so I wouldn't expect excellent food to begin. Whenever the university brings tours for lunch on weekdays, the menu is very impressive and includes a variety of options, from standard American Food to Asian rice bowls, Mexican food, deli subs and packs, and a variety of pizza pasta options. The weekday dinner menu is usually not as good as lunch, but still offers many nice options. On weekends, however, there is a significant drop in quality. The lunch menu is ALWAYS low-quality breakfast medium (actually bad for cats) and the dinner is always quite a reason like a chicken sandwich, hot ham cheese or cheeseburger. In addition, they close the Asian Mexican stations, and almost all other campus dining places are closed weekends, which leads to an extremely long and slow moving line for unwanted food (especially on Sunday dinner). Of course, just now with all supply chain security and work problems, I should not complain. But if things become normal again, there is definitely room for improvements in the coming years. Also note that this venue is served around noon on weekdays over a thousand people, so that a place can be found then be challenging and the ice machine is often overloaded by heavy use. Stay away from the shrimps! Many of my friends got food poisoning from it. Otherwise, UDCC is my favorite dining center at ISU!

We need to feed like a million students when we make enough food to literally bury them, regardless of quality, they'll be happy, right? UDCC management (for real but, busiest place to eat on campus, but still quite good. Besides pizza, it is 1/3 crust and only okay, because even they can't screw pizza)

Certainly not as bad as people would have you believe. The selection is decent and there usually is more than enough food. The ice cream machine tends to be broken, and service is lazy (what do you expect from college students? . Go to seasons. Also don't come during peak hours, good luck finding a table.

I really do not like this building. It is horribly layed out. The food in the dining center is never very good. They also end up serving the same type of meat/fish. So, there's no variety of choices. Also, godfather's pizza is not that great and there sides get old. And, there menue is quiet small.
