Cafeterias in Lexington, KY

“My 5 week old was admitted for biliary atresia. Dr Rellinger, Martin, Dewberry did the procedure and so far all is well. It felt like we had seen so many people from the Doctors, Nurses, residents, pain management, GI, nutrition, etc and everyone was always helpful. Shout-out to the team of doctors who performed the procedure to help our girl, we are so grateful! The 4th floor nurses in the progressive care unit were amazing to us! Miroslava (heaven sent), Alan, Katie, Alivia, Ally, Kris, Amanda, are just a few who were wonderful! The cons of our experience were a couple ladies who when trying to store my Breastmilk were so rude! Telling the receptionist to tell me there was no room in their fridge (my bag was already there, it could hold more) to place my new milk. Stated that they shouldn't have to retrieve my milk ( more than happy to walk it there) and go to the cafeteria to put it in ice. I was told **Jesse** said it and a lady named Tammy was mentioned throughout. Doubt there was anything done after talking to a higher up and making a phone complaint. Last con was we were discharged and still needed the medicine for my daughter. The Retail Pharmacy took **3 HOURS** AFTER DISCHARGE to bring the medicine. All that was said was they were slammed.“

“A great resource for those in need!“

“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 meal down to ~$5.

Dietary restrictions: They have a place for people w/ food allergies, as well as a vegan restaurant and a salad bar.“

“Champions Kitchen is a quality place to eat on UK's campus. I eat there frequently as a UK student. One of my favorite aspects of Champs is the atmosphere. There are huge windows that make up an entire wall, letting in lots of light. There are also a large variety of tables depending on how busy you are - large ones, small ones, and high tops with chargers. The food is pretty good for a college dining hall. Even though the rotations can get repetitive if you eat there often, the food itself is decent. And, of course, there is a wide variety with something for everyone. The people at the entrance are kind, and there is good service at each station. All in all, I really like going to Champions Kitchen, and I'm glad we have it on campus.“
