This fall, the Flight Deck Pub introduced changes to their menu based on sales and feedback.
The revised menu also includes new healthier options such as the turkey club sandwich and chef salad. Icons were also placed next to items to note that they are vegetarian such as the veggie burger and classic French fries. The specials menu, which included fish and chips and chicken and waffles, was removed.
Assistant Director of Operations in the Office of Campus Recreation Ashley McCafferty said the items that customers enjoyed were kept. Feedback from the Undergraduate Student Government Association and Campus Recreation’s student employees was also taken into account.
Within the next few months, limited time offers and lunch and dinner specials will be offered. McCafferty said specials will also be determined by customer feedback.
“Our hope is that the lunch and dinner options will give a unique addition to the menu,” McCafferty said. “It will constantly change so it will give students variety as well.”
Though prices have increased slightly, portion sizes have also gotten bigger. McCafferty said this was done to give students a great value and a product comparable to off-campus dining options. The burgers are now eight ounces, which is about 30 percent bigger than the previous portion size.
“Since they’re getting the bigger portion, the price was now adjusted to that,” McCafferty said. “However, the beverage prices are the same.”
In addition, the Flight Deck will begin to host special programs for the NSU community, including karaoke nights, holiday events, a costume party for Halloween. Clubs and organizations can also reserve the pub for public and private events.
“We really want to make it a student-centered place,” McCafferty said. “We really want it to be an area for the student. We want them to feel that they have a lot of ownership over it.”
