Where to Eat

It’s one of the most important questions for any traveler: “Where should we eat?” In Athens, you’ll never go wrong. Whether you choose to eat on campus at one of our award-winning dining halls or venture into Athens to sample local cuisine, you won’t be disappointed.

On-Campus Dining Options

Dining Halls

UGA has five dining commons across campus that offer a variety of rotating menu items. All UGA dining halls are normally open to the public for a small charge, however, in response to coronavirus (COVID-19), the dining commons are currently open only for meal plan participants.

Residential Dining Halls

The Georgia Center

Let the Georgia Center’s chefs treat you to fast-casual dining and Jittery Joe’s coffee at the Bulldog Bistro, or table service in the quiet atmosphere of the Savannah Room — all under one roof in the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel.
