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...read full review
As a student at the University of Kentucky, Champion Kitchen is a great, cost-friendly, place to eat. There are a lot of good options for food, especially with it being a campus dining hall, and some options that rotate but also some staples that are always available. My personal favorite is the chips and queso at the Mexican line which is available every day. They also have diet friendly options which is very thoughtful of them. Since I live on central campus, it is kind of a...read full review
Champions kitchen is one of my favorite food places on campus mainly because I eat there every day. I like how there are different food options the taco bar is by far my favorite and also there are a bunch of spots to eat with friends. Even when I’m not eating, I find myself hanging out there or doing homework. The food can get repetitive, but the back of dining hall changes every day, and they have sandwich bar which is a nice change up. It also gets crowded during lunch...read full review

Champions Kitchen is a cafeteria-style dining facility located on the bottom floor of the UK Visitor Center. It is part of the meal plan for students and costs $13 for visitors for an all-you-can-eat buffet. The buffet includes a salad bar, tacos, chicken tenders and fries, curry, deli sandwiches, and desserts. There are also two stations that address plant-based needs and allergies. The drink station offers several sodas and coffee, and there is a small station for breakfast cereal, fresh fruit, and milk.
The food stations are well-staffed and kept clean, and dishes can be taken to a moving conveyor when finished. The staff is generally friendly, with a few exceptions. The Pasture and Eiffel pizza stations are particularly popular and the workers at these stations are happy to help.
The seating area is large and there is plenty of space for visitors. However, there have been some complaints about trash on the floor and tables near the Panda Express and Subway areas. Despite this, Champions Kitchen is a convenient and affordable dining option for visitors to the campus.
