Nestled within the UIC Student Center West, the food court serves as a vital hub for students, faculty, and visitors alike. Located at 828 S Wolcott Ave in Chicago, this food destination shines with diverse culinary offerings that cater to a variety of preferences, particularly for those seeking healthy and vegetarian options. Reviewers consistently praise the atmosphere, noting it as a convenient spot for those frequenting the nearby UIC medical campus or UI Health. While some reference higher prices, many agree that the meals are delicious and satisfying, making the cost worthwhile. Tejabhiram Yadavalli appreciates the broad selection available, particularly highlighting the quality of the vegetarian selections. Visitors often share thoughts on the surrounding facilities, commenting on their cleanliness and upkeep. However, some, like Elizabeth C., find the campus layout confusing—an aspect the staff might benefit from improving through better navigation aids. Despite mixed feelings about the food court itself, one glowing review stands out: Ben Belavsky’s enthusiastic shout-out to Maria, the beloved barber located in the basement, promises an experience beyond culinary offerings. Overall, the UIC Student Center West Food Court remains a vital social and dining space that fosters a sense of community, enriched by a variety of meal choices and a welcoming atmosphere.

If you're at the UIC medical campus, UI Health or County Hospital this is the destination for food. It's pricier but it's more appetizing.

I attended a presentation by LLS in the student center West. Nice facilities; temperature was well controlled; and (this is an odd but nice observation) the stairs to the second level were a nice height, so people with bad knees can easily mount them. The campus itself? While very well maintained, very clean and nicely decorated with pretty gardens, was very confusing to navigate. I parked in the 1100 S Wolcott parking facility and found it quite confusing find the Student Center West building. Google Maps was of no help. I ended up asking a passerby for help and he pointed me to the correct building. I have 5 points because that can't be helped by UIC. I suggest that detailed maps be included with notifications of meetings and events.

The food court is dismal, but I'm giving five stars because the world's best barber, Maria, is in the basement! I've been getting my hair cut by her for 10 years and she has yet to give me a bad cut! Go Maria!

This place is gold compared to some neighboring hospitals' food options. The service is fast, the place is clean, there is ample room to sit, the food is consistent and quality. The food vendor seem professional. And most important it is fairly priced and they don't seem to run out of food by 12:30PM. I leave my hospital to eat here weekly in nice weather.
