Dining at FHU

The college dining experience is more than just great food. Because all students living on campus are required to purchase a meal plan, the campus dining locations become some of the best places to meet up and hang out with friends. In the mornings, grab a drink on your way to class at KC’s Coffeehouse. For lunch, stop by Jones Family Dining Hall for international pasta, a fresh grilled burger, or a meat and three vegetable plate. At night, swing through Lion’s Pride for options such as chicken fingers, burgers, and salads.

The Jones Family Dining Hall serves as the central campus dining facility, offering a variety of fresh, nutritious meals in a welcoming, buffet-style environment. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the dining hall provides options to accommodate diverse dietary needs and preferences. In addition to the main dining area, students and guests can enjoy Chick-fil-A and LP Express, a quick-service venue offering sandwiches, salads, and snacks. With comfortable seating and a spacious layout, the dining hall is a popular gathering place for students, faculty, staff, and community.
