Bon Appétit!

Wake Forest offers a veritable cornucopia—food wordplay!—of on-campus dining options where students may sit down and enjoy a meal or take it to go, at almost any time of day. And the food is good. From exhibition cooking to vegan dining to your favorite chains, you will find it all in our dining halls.
