Food Allergies, Intolerances and Medical Needs
We are here to help!
We take pride in serving you wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. From our general manager to our front-line servers, we work carefully to address food allergies, Celiac disease, or other special dietary needs.
For students with medical conditions that impact their ability to dine well on campus, we strongly encourage a conversation with our Registered Dietitian, Executive Chef and/or our General Manager. In many instances, our dining team can easily assist with special needs. We also partner with Student Accessibility Resources and recommend students with special dining needs connect with this department for additional assistance with dining accommodations.
We want to meet one-on-one with anyone who has individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social. If you have a food allergy/special diet concern, please call or send us a note using the feedback form.
Menu Allergens
Our menu system provides ingredient statements specifically highlighting the top nine allergens: milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, wheat, and soy. Guests may check on the presence of allergens prior to planning their meals using the online menu, the Everyday App (coming soon!), and the nutrition calculator. The absence of an allergen listened on posted or electronic product signage is not a guarantee that the product is free of that allergen. The guest is responsible for communicating their allergy to a supervisor or manager to ensure their safety.
