Vail Commons

Vail Commons is the primary dining option available on campus, offering dine-in and carry-out options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

At Vail Commons, we welcome various payment options, including meal plan options, Dining Dollars, Declining Balance, and credit cards. For those who choose to dine in the facility, the meals are all-you-care-to-eat and comprise a range of options such as hot entrées, plant-based choices, an extensive salad bar, desserts, and beverages.

Beginning this fall 2024 semester, Vail Commons warmly welcomes Sitar Indian Cuisine to the Herbs & Spices station! This Durham, NC based restaurant capitalizes on the bright and vibrant flavors in indian cuisine, while also honoring classic cooking techniques. Explore the authentic flavors of Sitar Indian Cuisine during your next meal at Vail Commons!

Green Box Program

We also offer fresh to-go meals with a one-time $10 fee. Once payment is accepted, participants will receive a large three-compartment box and also a smaller side item box. Bring back the boxes cleaned during your next Vail Commons visit and a Dining Services team member will give you new boxes or a keychain for the next time you'd like a take out meal. Join our Green Box program and enjoy your meals on the go.
