WashU Dining has once again been recognized by The Princeton Review as one of the Top 10 Best Campus Food programs in the country. This honor reflects our ongoing commitment to providing students with a high-quality and student-centered dining experience.

What sets WashU Dining apart is our response to feedback from our students. In the past year, we’ve introduced new offerings such as:

  • An All You Care to Eat (AYCTE) nightly dinner option at the Bear’s Den, Monday – Friday.
  • A Qdoba station in the DUC, bringing a much-loved favorite to campus
  • Build-Your-Own Omelet Bar in the Village Saturdays & Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Ongoing enhancements to allergen-friendly and dietary-specific dining

WashU Dining’s place in the Top 10 reflects more than just food—it represents our dedication to nourishing the WashU community with care, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.

Sticking with this spirit of excellence fueled by purpose, WashU Dining proudly earned the NACUFS 2025 Wellness and Nutrition Program of the Year award (Gold), further highlighting our commitment to advancing wellness, sustainability, and innovation in campus dining.

“WashU Dining continues to evolve because we value student voices. Initiatives like All You Care to Eat (AYCTE) and new dining options are direct responses to what students have asked for,” said the WashU Dining Services team.

“Our goal has always been to create dining experiences that go beyond exceptional food and service—experiences that foster connection and cultivate a vibrant campus dining culture,” the team added.
