WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY COURTYARD DINING HALL

The Courtyard Dining Hall is located next to your residence hall.

Eat your meals in the Courtyard Dining Hall for only $30.00 per day!

PLEASE keep in mind that this is a college dining hall, not a 5-star restaurant. The times we visited setting up the Festival, we ate in the dining hall and it was very good food. There will be multiple stations open for each meal and vegetarian selections will be available. There will not be 50 entrees to choose from for each meal, but the various stations will provide adequate variety. We are currently negotiating with the University to expand the normal summer dining hall hours to better fit your schedules.

Meal tickets are not sold individually by meals....you must purchase an entire meal package.

Upstairs in the new, two-story, 53,000-square-foot dining hall is an "all-you-care-to-eat" location with salads, fruits and vegetables, pastas and pizza, home-style foods, grilled foods, sandwiches and desserts. Downstairs hosts a convenience store and retail outlets, including Panda Express, Starbucks, McAlister's Deli, Grill Works, Freshens and Zoca's, a Mexican-themed restaurant.

The Courtyard Dining Hall is the only place you can use your meal card. However, in other campus buildings are various other cafe, bagel and fast food options and near the back of the campus is Papa's Pizza, who will also deliver to the residence hall.
