Dining Services

Crafting Great Meals

Warner’s Dining Services office is here to provide you with excellent dining options while you’re on campus. Our cafeteria serves three home cooked meals a day on weekdays and always offers a variety of different meal options. The student union will have a more consistent menu with grab and go options that you can choose from. Our Dining Services team works hard to make sure your dining experience is incredible.

Food Allergies and Special Diets

• Warner Dining Services is committed to providing menus emphasizing lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, vegetarian and vegan options, a variety of dairy products, sustainable seafood, and whole grains. When it comes to food allergies there are nine food items that account for almost 90 percent of food allergic reactions: wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts and sesame. These items are identified on each of our menus with appropriate verbiage.
• The Dining Services team works hard to identify all dishes that are prepared with these select items and in addition we advise diners with allergies to do the following: 1. Pay attention to the entrée name. Dishes made with common allergens often have that allergen mentioned in the entrée name. 2. Establish a relationship with the chef. Simple conversations with the chef in your daily visit to the dining halls can make your dining experience a lot easier. The chef can go over ingredients used in recipes and how the meal was prepared. 3. When in doubt… If there is ever a question about an entrée, we recommend you avoid consuming it.
• If you have allergies, please come and see us as soon as you arrive on campus, so you can fill out the Allergenic and Dietary Need form. Dining Services makes every attempt to identify ingredients that may cause allergic reactions for those with food allergies and to instruct our food production staff on the severity of food allergies. In addition, we label items with all possible allergen-containing ingredients, however, there is always a risk of contamination. There is also a possibility that manufacturers of the commercial foods we use could change the formulation at any time, without notice. Customers concerned with food allergies need to be aware of this risk.
