FAQ: Are on - campus dining services open later on weekends?

The Fall 2010 semester brought about many changes to the dining services at Adelphi University. In order to better accommodate the needs and wishes of students and faculty, Adelphi’s food provider, Lackmann Culinary Services, embarked on a building and menu transformation to the University Center cafeteria and Post Hall during the summer of 2010. Among the many changes that were made, the most noticeable include the newly renovated UC Cafeteria dining area, Nikos Cafe replacement of Sbarros in Post Hall and the addition of the Chee Burger Chee Burger Burger franchise in the UC Cafe. Even though the modifications received a lot of positive attention, it magnified the fact that many students were unhappy about the dining hall hours of operation.

“Ideally the dining services should be open 24 hours,” said Adelphi freshman Felicia Smalls. “If not, they should have longer hours”.

The most popular places to get food on campus are the UC Café, Post Hall, and when all else fails, the C- Store. Many students feel as though the hours of operation of the places that serve food on campus are inconvenient because they are open later in the week and closed earlier during the weekend.

“Cherry Valley is getting expensive,” said Smalls. “I get hungry at 2am.” During the week Post’s Charcoals Grill and C-store are opened by 9am- 1am whereas on the weekend they both open at 5pm and close at 11pm.
