Dining Services
Ready to eat? Welcome to our award-winning dining experience.
Here, you won’t find bland, boring college cafeteria food. Our in-house chef creates menus with you in mind.
Dining Services at the University of Lynchburg offers a wide variety of food options, including Tex-Mex, takeout, delivery pizza, a full salad and deli bar, and two coffee shops. We focus on fresh, locally sourced foods to give you a great dining experience with friends. Burton Dining Hall, located in the Drysdale Student Center, is proud to be a Certified Green Restaurant®.
In addition to the dining hall, you can also enjoy dining at the Westover Room, The Daiki Box, Brewed by Mission House, and Domino’s. Our catering services, Hopwood & LaRue, can make any event, whether for a University office or outside group, special.
