Welcome Back Denisonians

We are so excited to meet you and introduce a whole new level of dining at Denison!

Who We Are

At Denison Hospitality, we expect our food to taste good, but we want it to be much bigger than that. We want you to know where it comes from, how it’s made, who prepared it through endless storytelling. When you return to campus, you’ll notice that we share our culinary story with 100% transparency on the Denison Hospitality website, digital signage, and chalk signage highlighting our daily menus with nutritional info, local partners, and allergen information. We use fresh, vibrant, responsibly sourced ingredients to create exciting flavors from down the street and around the globe.

Our world-class chefs, hospitality team, and food enthusiasts are ready to create dishes and experiences that meet every need with an option for everyone.

We bring fresh ingredients and new ideas together in a way that encourages personal growth, meaningful connections, and a strong sense of community. We are a team of chefs, hospitality experts, and food enthusiasts delivering a different kind of culinary experience. Quality is our commitment, and our chefs go beyond technique and flavor development to bring you a quality meal from sourcing to preparation.

We believe in preparing food that is safe for you and essential to a healthy life. So, our commitment is to help you power your activities on campus with good food and a dining program that makes it easy for you to eat right. It’s why we have healthy and wholesome choices available every day, and it’s why we have nutrition and wellness programs that help take some of the mystery out of healthy living.

Eat Like A Denisonian

Denison University offers a variety of meal plans tailored to fit your busy schedule and tastes. Meal plans are convenient, flexible and loaded with options. They also give you easy access to dining restaurants all across campus with a range of hours as early as 7:00 am and late as 1:00 am when the fall semester starts.

First-year, sophomore/junior meal plans include a certain number of meal swipes to access The Table at Curtis and Huffman dining halls. Unused Meal Swipes do not roll over and reset weekly on Sunday morning.

First-year, sophomore/junior meal plans also include a portion of the meal swipes that can be used as meal exchanges that provide meal options at Slayter Market, Slivy’s or at The Nest. Unused Meal Exchange Swipes do not roll over and also reset weekly on Sunday morning.

Flex Dollars are declining balance that can be used at grab-and-go locations on campus, (such as Slayter Market, Slivy’s, and The Nest). Flex Dollars roll over from fall semester to spring semester, but do not roll over to a new academic year. So be sure to spend all your Flex Dollars by the end of spring semester. Also included in your meal plan are Big Red Bucks which can be used at partnering restaurants in Granville.
