Chow @ Texas: Dining on the UT Campus
Here is an attempt at a comprehensive list of food service businesses on the UT campus. The list is surprisingly long. I have arranged them in order based on approximate distance from the Main Building.
NOTE: The hours change during different part of the academic year. Also, I haven't verified this data yet. Please let me know of any corrections.
