From early-morning coffee to brunch sandwiches, from dinner specials to midnight munchies, residents can enjoy the various foods the University dining halls have to offer. And if a quiet study area, a meal on the go or a late-night hangout is preferred, the venues also offer these settings.
Visit Barnhart Hall, the Living-Learning Center, Carson Hall or Hamilton Complex to find a selection of eateries.
Barnhart Hall

For Barnhart residents living five blocks from campus, there is no need to venture far if the craving for food is strong, as Barnhart Dining was completely remodeled and now includes the new Puddles Cafe.
The all-you-can-eat, buffet-styled dining offers a mixture of entrees, dishes and a la carte items. The daily specials include Greek and Korean as well as Southern barbecue themes. For vegetarians, there is also a different veggie special. @@How often is this veggie special?@@
The most unique feature at Barnhart Dining@@the building or the dining hall?@@ is the build-your-own waffle for brunch on the weekends. It is a popular choice, according to Marketing Manager Kelly McIver.
If students want something for the road, then Puddles Cafe is the place to go. It offers espressos, smoothies, wraps, sandwiches, fruit and more.

“It’s very convenient,” University student Asha Stephen said. “It’s tasty. I’ll pick up something if I am in a hurry or wait to have it made.”
The bistro also opens at 7 a.m. for breakfast items like quiche, French toast, waffles and bagels.

And when lunch and dinner are over, students can drop by for late-night, a la carte items from 8-11 p.m.

Hamilton Complex

Hamilton Complex contains a handful of venues: Big Mouth Burrito, Fire ‘N Spice Grill, Common Grounds Cafe and Grab ‘N Go Marketplace. The assortment of eateries opens the doors to any number of menus to choose from.
“I like that there are a lot of different locations in one place,” University student Liz Asta said.
At Big Mouth Burrito, students have the chance to build their own burrito. They can choose from a selection of ingredients, natural local meats and organic rice and beans. Or they can choose the ever-changing daily special. @@By “ever-changing daily special”, does it never repeat itself, even at the start of  a new week? I would just put “daily special”.@@
Everything is made to order at Fire ‘N Spice Grill. With countless combinations, students can choose any starches @@What do you mean by “starches”?@@, veggies, meats and sauces and watch their food prepared on the grill up close. The venue also offers breakfast such as waffles and burritos.
At Common Grounds Cafe, students are fond of its late-night accessibility, according to Chuck Kurth, an employee at the cafe. The quiet, low-key intimate setting offers yogurt parfait, espressos, smoothies, soups, chips and salsa and hot sandwiches and dip. The cafe is open until 2 a.m.
The Grab ‘N Go Marketplace has a little bit of everything with many sections: a little grocery store, a hot food line, salad and sandwich bars — even a gluten-free section. It offers pre-packaged food, organic fruits and veggies, wraps, hashbrowns, pancakes and more.
Features:
• Local, organic, natural food
• Late-night hours
• Grocery store
Residents are not restricted to their living locations; they can go to any of the venues. And nonresidents can do the same as well. Each venue accepts students with meal plans, cash, campus cash and off-campus meal plans.
