It’s about connection, convenience, and creating an experience that supports you throughout your day on campus. Please keep the lemon pepper wings on Fridays. They were easily the best wings I've ever had by a long shot, and I think I speak on behalf of many other people when I say we want this flavor to stay. Zachery Harris Student Please pass along our sincere compliments to your culinary, service, and front-of-house staff—students raved about the food, and everyone was so impressed with the management of the commons (and we know how hectic it gets in there with large groups). I just want to reiterate that we love working with you all, and we really appreciate your help in feeding these large groups! Also, with the one-off school groups that have been visiting this week, everything has been absolutely seamless. We can’t thank you enough for your help and hospitality! Jessica Reaves Group-Dining Visitor I want to give a great review of the kind staff member named Mary who was working the sandwich line all by herself. Despite the long line of 10 people, she was exceptionally friendly, greeting every individual with a pleasant smile and a welcoming hello. She also executed her job well, using a clean knife and cutting up the ingredients for sandwiches precisely. Mary is so hard-working and really adds to my overall great experience at KSU.
