University of Kentucky Dining — Restaurant in Lexington

they will make these places look AmAziNG when you go on tours!!! BUT.... the reality, champs kitchen is hit or miss. they often dont have food out, except maybe some staples like mexican food thats been soaking in its own juices and has no taste or raw burgers or burnt black burgers or soggy salad bar. milk is often empty and needs replaced. tables covered in past meals while the workers all take their breaks at the same time and facetime during work. SOMEtimes champions kitchen is a good time, like when you can get a greek dish and some vegetables or early early early early EARLY in the morning a nice breakfast. but it is sooooo hit or miss its crazy, usually its a miss.

THIS PLACE IS EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH IN DEMAND, HOW I FOUND OUT ? I HAD TO STAY ON A LONG LINE THAT'S MOVING INCREDIBLY SLOWLY, WHEN I WAS IN HURRY, TO GET SOMETHING WHILE, MY WIFE, WAS IN LABOR, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON ''THE MOMENT''. BUT I FINALLY FILLED OUT THE PAPER OF WHAT I NEEDED. BY THE WAY THE SLEEP OF PAPER, IS LIKE THE MENU, IN REAL RESTAURANT, BRILLIANT IDEA. BE CAREFUL DON'T CONFUSE FRENCH FRIES, WITH FRIED POTATOES, AND CHICKEN FRIED, WITH GRILLED CHICKEN. THE PRICE IS DECENT BUT NOT CHEAP, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE TIME YOU PARKED, THERE BECAUSE EVERY PARKING LOT...

Food is pretty hit or miss. All the places that serve the same thing are mid, but the workers are generally pretty nice. The cafeteria itself is pretty chill, realistically a 3.5/5.

For fellow broke college students, I recommend getting at least one of the green takeout boxes, I prefer 2 (one for dry food, the other for wet food). This will help you cut your meal expenses from $12 per...
