On Aug. 19, Shark Dining will officially open Chick-fil-A across from Razor’s Reef in the UC, where the Flight Deck lounge was.
Mike Alkurdi, general manager of Shark Dining, said students can look forward to Chick-fil-A’s full menu at breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday.
“They can expect Chick-fil-A customer service, well-known for excellence,” Alkurdi said. “Flight Deck used to be the hub for students. You can expect that to remain the same. It will continue to be a destination for lounging and seating.”
Orders can be placed ahead of time through Grubhub. There will also be four point-of-sale systems to manage the number of customers.
“We anticipate for it to be extremely busy. We think all the students are going to come in,” Alkurdi said. “It’s going to be popular.”
The HPD Cafe in the Terry Administration building is also receiving updates, with construction taking between 18 months to two years. Alkurdi said students will still have dining options during construction, like food trucks and popup carts.
“The future of HPD will look extremely different than it is right now. It’s going to have many options, such as Sambazon, Sushi Maki, a pizza station, grill station and even potentially Starbucks,” Alkurdi said.
Other Shark Dining options are Starbucks in the University Center, Einstein Bros. Bagels/ Monty’s Café in the Carl DeSantis building, the kiosk in the Parker building, the Supreme Court Cafe in the Shepard Broad College of Law, and West End Ave. Deli in the Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center.
Razor’s Reef, a dining hall in the University Center, features options such as College Ave. Subs, Qdoba, Ciao Bella, Sushi Maki, Razor’s Bites and Student Choice, which regularly changes its menu based on student votes.
“We’re working on menu enhancements for all the locations here and there. We’re trying to add more bread varieties at College Avenue Sub. We’re trying to make sure our pizza dough is better to have better quality pizzas. Sushi Maki will be hopefully featuring a hibachi menu item,” Alkurdi said.
Alkurdi said Shark Dining routinely listens to student feedback. Changes that were introduced to Shark Dining because of feedback include the ice cream machine with toppings in The Market, boba iced tea to Sushi Maki and a specialty tuna sandwich to College Ave. Subs.
