I think this might be my favorite place from the dining halls! Quality here is definitely a lot better and the vibes are definitely so nice! There are days when I'm not as thrilled with the food, but there have been so many times when I'd come in for the potato bar or the fried Korean tofu (I think they have that on Saturdays; I should've gone there more often when the tofu was offered since that was genuinely so elite). I've been going to the dining halls every year since freshman year, and I genuinely don't regret it. Foothill is definitely my favorite, and marching up Hearst avenue makes it even more worth it!

Foothill is like the Anthony Davis of the Berkeley Dining community β€” you never know if you're getting a complete, two-way, Clark-Kerr-esque meal, or if you're getting the most legitimately atrocious food you have ever tried in your life. Pro tip: take CS70 to optimize your Berkeley dining experience, because every day at Foothill is an expected value analysis that must be looked at on a case-by-case basis. This is the quintessential Berkeley experience. 5 stars.

Want to try UC Berkeley Dining Hall cuisine (for some reason)? Foothill is probably one of the better options to pick. There are various options, including vegetarian/vegan friendly options, and menus change every day to incorporate new types of food ranging from the simple fish and chips or mac and cheese to the interesting pho station that appears infrequently. The star of the show is definitely the ice cream. I've only seen it once been used through my time as a student though, so I'm not too sure if it purely exists to make visiting children happy or let the Foothill students be reminded of their existence in Berkeley comes with small benefits of ice cream along with developing social ineptitude and ripped bicyclist thighs. Jokes aside, if you're a Unit 2 or Unit 3 student (or a person hellbent on getting that college dining hall experience early), be prepared for a strenuous climb of 19 flights of stairs without a shuttle. Unit 4, more commonly known as Foothill, is notorious for being up a hill as its name suggests (and filled with socially awkward dormmates), and the winning result is slightly above average food. Regardless, Foothill Dining serves proper food that is sure t
