For $9.95 for lunch and $11.95 for dinner, you receive an entree, two sides, a salad, a fountain drink, a whole fruit and a dessert from a menu that mirrors the rotating offerings at Maplestreet Commons.
Spring Menu Updates

- The Q pulled pork at Maple Grill.
- Mac and cheese bites at Maple Grill.
More Healthy Options
This semester’s menu review was focused heavily on providing healthy foods on a daily basis. Dining services looks at balancing its buffet options with all macronutrients (carbs, proteins, fats). In addition to revamping fresh fruit and salad bars at every location, they looked at commonly fried foods and manipulated the cooking to reach a healthier alternative.
More Vegan Options
Every buffet location will have a featured vegan entree of the meal as well as vegan desserts and muffins.
