During the first two weeks of Boyd Dining Hall's newly renovated Grab 'n' Go, students have been enjoying the new layout, décor and menu items.
Kent Scott, General Manager of Boyd Dining Hall, said students have reacted very positively, especially to the new menu additions.
Paninis, wraps, prepared salads, and sushi are now main course options. The paninis and wraps are different each day.
Salads and sushi were originally not included on the meal plan -they were available only through a la carte payment or Bobcat cash - but due to student requests, they are now included, Scott said.
Athens restaurant Lui Lui, 8 Station St., prepares and ships the Grab 'n' Go's sushi daily. Scott said that the popularity of the sushi started out slow but is growing.
In addition to new entrees, Boyd's Grab 'n' Go has a new layout, complete with a seating area located at the Dining Hall's entrance. New lighting, floor, decorative panels and cooking equipment were also added, Scott said.
Matt Schuler, a sophomore communications major said, Much improved since last quarter - architecture
new lighting the food is actually a lot better.
Sophomore mechanical engineer major Clint Lauderback summed up the new Grab 'n' Go as nice and added that it was a lot less crowded than before the renovation.
Students' main concern is that while they can still get usual two entrees and three sides at the hot-item line, only one entree and two sides can be chosen from the new menu item line.
I really don't think it's necessary. It seems like they are cutting down what we can get said freshman interior architecture major Sarah Kennedy.
Scott said the new menu items are more costly to make, but the Boyd Management Team will continue to listen to student concerns for future revisions.
