In the front of Wagoner Dining Hall- when you walk in, immediately to the right of the lobby.

We have health forward meals that are focused on minimally processed ingredients all around campus- many of our locations also cook from scratch.

• At the Shore, check out the Done Well station for a menu focused on simple, flavorful meals. They rotate proteins daily, including salmon, shrimp, chicken, and always including a plant-based option.
• The Everything Bowl station is a great spot to build a Poke bowl, Pho bowl, or Mediterranean inspired meal. Start with a base of grains, top it with tuna, chicken, or plant-based proteins like lentils, tofu, or edamame, and then add plenty of veggies.

Creating gluten safe spaces has been a priority for us. We've built a few solutions into our menus, to ensure ease of visibility.

• When checking our menus online or on our digital menu boards, keep an eye out for our MWG icon!
• If you want to take a look at our options before you head into the dining halls, you can use the made without gluten and wheat filters on our website to remove the items that are not gluten friendly.

Dining at Dubs:

• Dubs cafe has a dedicated fryer for chips, fries, and chicken tenders that are made without gluten.
• They also have a dedicated panini press, and space for making gluten safe sandwiches.

Dining at the Shore:

• The Shore does not menu gluten at the Baja station, and has a dedicated fryer for cooking their tortilla chips.
• They also have dedicated spaces for preparing meals that are made without gluten - these can be ordered through the kiosk at the Worry Free Zone.

Dining at Wagoner:

• Wagoner also offers kiosk ordering and space for building sandwiches that are made without gluten.
• The True Balance station at Wagoner also eliminates the top 9 allergens and gluten from their menu.

When ordering from our kiosks in the our 3 Dining Halls, please make sure to check the box that you are dining without gluten so our staff know to take extra precautions when making your meal. Check out our quick guides for each location for more information on dining without gluten.

Yes! An important note first, we have begun limiting the use of vegan in our menu signs and online. You will start seeing “plant-based” as an indicator that an item has been made without any animal-based ingredients.

Many of our sauces at The Shore, that previously were made with mayonnaise have been reformatted to use a plant-based mayonnaise, making them vegan friendly. We have also made sure to have plant-based proteins available as regular menu offerings. This may look like plant-based chicken, plant-based chorizo, Beyond and Morningstar sausage and burgers. We also know that not everyone wants a meat alternative as their plant-based meal, we have expanded our sides and entrees that are built around beans, legumes, tofu, or use non-dairy alternatives where butter or milk may have been used previously.

The Shore and Wagoner at breakfast have also added Just Egg patty’s and scrambled eggs, for a plant-based omelet or breakfast entree. All of our made-to-order stations have a wide variety of vegetables that can be incorporated into your sandwich, grain bowl, or noodle bowl.

Keep an eye out for the vegan icon on our menu screens to more easily identify our plant-based options. You can also use our website to filter out items that are not vegan!
