Rave Reviews

"It is with great honor that we thank you and the University of Alabama Birmingham Campus Dining Services for your extraordinary support in opening your hearts and arms to our women's soccer program at Southern Louisiana University during such a time of difficult circumstances due to Hurricane Gustav.

We were greeted each meal with friendly staff and fantastic food that made for a very pleasant atmosphere. Ms. Lisa at the grill upstairs was a real treat and personable. The entire staff upstairs and downstairs did an excellent job taking care of us and honestly made us feel at home."

- Blake Hornbuckle, Head Women's Soccer Coach Southeastern Louisiana University

"I just wanted to take this time to commend you for all of the time and effort you contributed in making the Board of Trustees meeting in the Hill University Center on February 1st and 2nd, 2007, a success... It would not have gone as smoothly or have been as successful without your hard work."

~Michael F. Raczynski, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs/Student Facilities & Finance

 

"I have to compliment you on the display of the food. I was impressed when you did the reception for us at West Pavilion, and continue to be. The set up makes everything look so appetizing, and people were very complimentary both on the display and the taste."

The Commons on the Green

 

"I just wanted to say thanks for giving us a first class dining facility on campus. I would like to thank Sodexho for the quality of food their staff prepares... It's honestly not like you are eating at a "school cafeteria" but like having choices to eat at several restaurants. The food is great... Every single one of my friends absolutely loves the new dining facility and the food that is offered... The one complaint that I have had about the Commons was taken care of as soon as I mentioned it to the administrative staff, and that is all you can ask for. Great service. Thanks again to the UAB administration and Sodexho for this great dining experience."

~Kevin Cope, Customer

 

"I was extremely impressed with your cafeteria and the quality of food you were serving... I thought the atmosphere of the dining facility was wonderful. I look forward to my next visit to Birmingham so I can stop by one of the finest dining establishments in town."

~Michael A. Bownes, Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Executive Assistant to the Chancellor, The University of Alabama System
