New pizza is great, everything is much better than last year

This is one (of two) cafeteria-style eating areas on UK's campus. For students it's part of their meal plan and for visitors it is $13/pp for an all-you-can-eat buffet.Stations included salad bar, tacos, chicken tenders and fries, curry, deli sandwiches, and desserts. Two of the stations addressed plant based needs and allergies. The drink station offered several sodas and coffee, and there's a small station for breakfast cereal, fresh fruit and milk. Because it's on campus there's an immense amount of seating available. The food stations were well staffed and kept clean. When finished, dishes can be carried to a moving conveyor. My family enjoyed our time here. Find Champions on the bottom floor of the UK visitor center.

It’s not the best food, but I know that this is a school cafeteria so my expectations can’t be too high. The staff is nice for the most part, with an exception or two. The Pasture and the Eiffel pizza are by far my favorites. The workers at both of these stations always seem happy to help and im more than welcome to oblige and eat their food!
I'm not very creative with names

95% of the time, you will get good food. Plenty of food and drink options, with a lot of variety and local restaurants. A meal plan is definitely worth it if you are a student who cannot cook, and Champions Kitchen is better than The 90 in my opinion. Only downside, which seems true with almost all UK Dining facilities is that the workers are either extremely kind and outstanding, or extremely rude and off-putting.

The international hotline station is fantastic. Very nice staff and delicious food. The other stations are good for the most part. The pizza isn’t great and I’ve had bad experiences with some of the workers from other stations but overall a great option for on campus dining.

They do not always serve good food. I mean the pizza crust is so tough that it feels like you are eating some form of crunchy cracker. Also, it is located in a University campus, so it should have longer hours on Friday nights. It closes early on Fridays and I had to go countless Friday nights without dinner, because I just had no other way.
Let me preface this by saying that the cashiers are such sweethearts and I’ve never had a bad experience with them! However, some of the employees here are uncouth and have such terrible attitudes. Once you get past the cashiers and you make it inside, it’s fair game.The first time I came here, I went to grab a plate and someone behind the station slammed her hand on the stack of plates, telling me that I “can’t just grab it” and I “have to ask for it!” Why place the plates clearly within reach if they’re only available upon special request? The plates were about 6 inches away from the edge of the counter and they look exactly like all of the other plates. Please make that make sense. After charitably allowing me to take the plate, she walked away and openly complained to her colleagues about my egregious attempt.More recently, I visited the buffet for breakfast and when I went to get pancakes, I noticed that some of them were significantly darker than others. Because of this I avoided the darker pancakes and picked up the golden brown ones instead. An employee literally leered at me the entire time and loudly said to a colleague, “I really hate when THEY [customers] do that. They’re [the pancakes] all the same. They’re all the same. They are all the same!” Clearly, they were not all the same. Why should I eat over-cooked pancakes when there are perfectly cooked pancakes right beside them? The fact that this lady felt comfortable enough to be loud and rude while standing 5 feet away from tells me all I need to know about the quality of service at this place.It’s gotten to the point that I come to the buffet with a standoffish attitude, waiting for an employee to find any ol’ reason to say something out of pocket. Please do better.Oh, and yes, I am going to leave this review on all available platforms.
