Meal Plans

Our meal plans were designed for every kind of student, and we’re here to help you make an informed decision. You’re in control! Whatever you choose, rest assured that quality is at the core of everything we do.

With an ever-present focus on craftsmanship, our daily offerings will always be made-from-scratch. You’ll enjoy fresh, consciously sourced food with a focus on seasonal items, a wide variety of delicious and healthy meals, build-your-own meal concepts, and special options for every diet. We’re here to nourish, comfort, and excite through our food offerings every single day. We can’t wait to serve you!

Modern On-Campus Dining Experience

Mercyhurst Dining has continued to invest in improving campus dining offerings, so Lakers can get the most out of their meal experiences. These improvements include flexible order-ahead using the GET app, grab-and-go options, and greater variety in offerings. Based on student feedback, we’ve revamped menus to serve more of the foods students want, including more healthy options. Lakers are always on the go, and sometimes schedules limit their availability at traditional meal times. Our flexible venue schedules mean students can access the full complement of dining options and time-appropriate breakfast/lunch/dinner menus.

As students progress with their Mercyhurst education, their Residence Life and Dining experience grows with them. Juniors and seniors have access to flexible meal options that make use of their growing independence and the kitchen and food prep areas in their campus residences. These options can include a weekly pantry box, with student-favorite staples to stock the fridge and cupboards in their campus residence, or a convenient meal prep kit with ingredients so they can prepare and cook a delicious meal with enough food for them and a friend or roommate.

Under this program, on-campus dining venues can become a kitchen, a coffee bar, a study group meetup spot, and a late-night hangout. No more deciding whether it’s worth it to grab a coffee — stop by anytime for a full meal, a quick snack to go, a morning pick-me-up, or a late-night snack!
