Dining Hall Locations

UConn's eight residential dining halls are located throughout the entire Storrs campus making it convenient to find food just outside of all academic buildings and residence halls. We cater to a wide variety of diets such as gluten-free, kosher, halal, vegan, and vegetarian. Meal plans allow unlimited access to the dining halls and all-you-care to eat.

Each dining hall has a salad bar, coffee station, deli bar, fresh fruit, fresh made desserts from the UConn Bakery, and a gluten-free space that offers drinks, desserts, breads. The daily menu is different at each location and many dining halls offer weekly action stations where students pick the ingredients and chef's create the dish on the spot. Some of our action bars include stir fry, mac and cheese, omelets, crepes, grain bowls, and pasta. It wouldn't be college without traditional comfort foods like pizza, pasta, burgers, fries, and grilled cheese. We offer these items almost daily at each dining hall. Grilled chicken, vegan eggs, and vegan French toast is always available upon request if it isn't on the menu for the day. If you don't see something available, just ask our staff or ask for a manager. If you have a food allergy or intolerance, please visit our site for more information. Dining works with each student one-on-one to work out a plan that will cater to your needs. If you need assistance or have questions about something while in the dining hall, please ask our staff or managers while you are there so we can assist you in a timely manner.
