The Lodge Dining Center — Restaurant in Missoula

So the University of Montana has closed down the Food Zoo and replaced it with "The Lodge Dining". The price for lunch has resin by $2.00 over what the Food Zoo use to charge, however there is no longer a rotating main lunch item(s). The Food Zoo had a main lunch and dinner menu item that changed daily, often delicious, which added diversity on the menu / options. e.g. chicken curry, indian tacos, fajitas, pulled pork, stir fry, lasagna, beef roast, and many diverse good vegetable dishes.. The Lodge Dinning offers the same thing every day, pizza bar, burger bar, pasta bar and a wok bar, salad bar, and deli bar. All of which were already offered at the Food Zoo but now absent the main lunch or dinner items. I don't imagine the students will continue to eat at The Lodge for long with the current and limited offerings without the monthly rotating main lunch. I will not be going back... Looks like UofM campus students and faculty will have to seek out options...

This dining hall does not accommodate well to allergies. I personally have celiac disease, and for the last two weeks I have had very limited options on what I can eat. Their gluten friendly wall has a measly selection, and the majority of the restaurants have limited options. I'm not as upset about the restaurants. I'm more annoyed with their gluten friendly area. They have not restocked the bread in nearly two weeks, so all that's left to get from there are hotdog buns and Udi's blueberry muffins. Those are not something I want to eat every day. I am paying $2800 to get my "meals" from this establishment, and they can't provide basic food items. The first semester was great, but quality and service has rapidly...

5 OUT OF 5! This place has it all: they grow their own microgreens, tons of vegan/vegetarian options/gluten free items, different kinds of cuisine, it's all pretty exciting. Lots of great seating, different kinds of beverages and even a dessert station that is spectacular. I love their taco bar, Raman bar, burger station, salad bar, and the make your own panini station. Great atmosphere! Way to go UM! Great customer...
