They lied to my child's district promising gourmet style lunches and this is what she gets. If this what they serve our children just imagine the horrendous working conditions of the lunch ladies.

This company has a contract with Sikeston R-6 school district and is doing a horrible job at making sure our children are getting decent quality and filling meals while at school and it is dispicable. Something needs to change. Our children getting enough to eat while at school and good quality should be a number one concern to a company who specializes in food service. If you do not care then do not run a company that feeds public school children. Do better.

I gave it one star because it wouldn't get lower. It's hard to believe what they would deem acceptable to feed children.

Children are always coming home hungry because the food is so awful. It was brought to the school boards attention the first week of school and the school board spoke with the Southwest foodservice and the problem hasn’t even improved just a little bit.
