Fresh meals made daily

Every meal is made fresh daily by trained chefs who focus on using fresh ingredients and cutting down food waste with sustainable practices.

If you have special dietary needs, there are plenty of options. The Delicious Without station is free from the top nine allergens: milk, eggs, sesame, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, and soy. You’ll also find gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian choices at every meal, along with fresh fruits, vegetables, and plant-based proteins at the salad bar.

Tools to help you eat right

If you need help finding meals that fit your diet, you can meet with a registered dietitian for free. The Transact Mobile Ordering app also makes it easy to order custom meals at SoVi’s Avoiding Gluten station or Social 704’s grill. Try favorites like a vegan black bean burger or gluten-free entrees.

Desserts and pizzas made fresh

Got a sweet tooth? Desserts made daily at the SoVi Bakery include gelato and vegan options. The pizzas at both dining halls are cooked in open-flame ovens, and you can request custom toppings or vegan cheese. Social 704 also lets you order pizzas to-go for easy pickup.
