Campus Eats

Traversing across a campus the size of the University of Georgia is a formidable task, and can leave visitors tired.
But it doesn’t have to leave them hungry.
All across campus are dining commons, cafes, eateries and restaurants serving a vast variety – from biscuits for early morning risers to burgers for late-night diners.

Dining commons

Award-winning cuisine for a sit down meal.

The long-standing record of excellence in UGA food services is affirmed by food institutions across the nation, as the university has won dozens and dozens of awards for menu excellence. The four dining commons (Oglethorpe, Bolton, Snelling and The Village Summit) are the crown jewels of UGA’s efforts, all offering a wide array of soups, salads, entrees, side dishes, breads, desserts and beverages. Guests and visitors are welcome to dine at the centers at a separate fixed meal rate for breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday buffet. Each commons has it’s own unique feel:

Oglethorpe Dining Commons, which has a bistro setting, features Asian cuisine and sushi at its stir-fry grill, home-style favorites at Chicken Country Unlimited, and Joe at the O’, a full service coffee bar. Oglethorpe is located just off Lumpkin Street adjacent to Oglethorpe House residence hall.

Bolton Dining Commons (pictured above), located near many residence halls on Baxter Street, is a modern food emporium with spacious dining and access to 18 serving stations. The food is presented made-to-order or as serve yourself.

Snelling Dining Commons, located at the heart of south campus, offers full-amenities dining. Popular offerings include fresh made pizza from Giorgio’s Pizza and Pasta, made to order sandwiches at the Sanford Grill and omelets at AM All Day. Snelling provides “anytime” meal plan service on weekdays.

The Village Summit is located on the second floor of Joe Frank Harris Commons and offers made-to-order items: pizza at Giorgio’s & Co., omelets at Egg Works, sandwiches at Upper East Side Deli and Blue Steel Grill. Seven-day service is provided.

 

Food Courts

A la carte dining with a bevy of choices.

Three food courts, two located in the Tate Student Center and the other in Joe Frank Harris Commons, offer many items.

The Tate’s Bulldog Cafe is food services’ largest a la carte facility. It has Bulldog Grille (breakfast, wings burgers), Arch Deli (build your own sandwich), Giorgio’s Pizza, a soup and salad bar, desserts, a Chick-fil-A Express, and grab-and-go take out.

The Tate Cafe food court, located in the newly expanded section of the student center, contains Barberitos Southwestern Grill, Larry’s Giant Subs, and Hotei’s, an Asian eatery developed by UGA Food Services.

Red Clay Cafe, next to the Ramsey Center in Joe Frank Harris Commons, features three restaurants in one. Sweet Java Brown’s offers Seattle’s Best Coffee and tempting treats such as Edy’s premium soft serve ice cream, smoothies, brownies, cheesecake, cookies, muffins, and pastries; Between the Bread serves gourmet sandwiches made with an array of fresh ingredients, including freshly baked bread; and Tossing Greens highlights freshly chopped and custom made entrée and side salads.

 

Campus Eateries

Have a sit down, or grab a quick bite.

A pair of other venues join several spots to purchase food priced on a per-item basis.

The Taste of Home Cafe, located on the fourth floor in the Tate Student Center, serves breakfast and lunch and features recipes submitted by families of UGA students.

The UGA creamery (or “Reamery” as it is occasionally called) provides soups, sandwiches, salads, snacks, and drinks every day during normal business hours. It also provides ice cream, but, sadly, it is no longer made on site.

Here are the spots to buy food on a per-item basis: Dawg Bites in the Biological Sciences Building; Dawg Snacks in the Tate Student Center; Bone Appetit in Aderhold Hall; Between the Pages in the lobby of the Main Library; Dawg Bone in the College of Veterinary Medicine; and The Village Market in East Village Commons.

 

Restaurant and Cafe

An elegant setting in the heart of campus.

The Georgia Center hotel operates two eating spots for those looking for a quick bite, or seeking a sit-down dinner. The Savannah Room features a renewed, relaxed, yet elegant atmosphere. Whether craving a light, casual lunch or a formal dinner, The Savannah Room offers a range of gourmet entrees, vegetarian and special selections, and superb desserts.

The Courtyard Cafe offers hot entrees, soups, sandwiches, and salads served cafeteria-style. It is open everyday, offering complete breakfast as well as an evening edibles menu which includes pizza and hamburgers.
