Ohio University Dining Services is committed to offering healthy food at every meal. We prepare approximately 3.2 million meals per year serving a diverse population of students, faculty, staff and university guests. Our basic philosophy is based on choice dining as we offer a wide variety of foods daily. Many of these foods are healthy foods, but it is up to our guests to choose for themselves what to eat and what amount to eat.

Weekly menus are available to assist you in meal planning. Menu information is available in the dining hall lobbies, on residence hall bulletin boards, on CATVision, the residence hall television network, and online.
