Exciting Updates Coming to Liberty Dining for the 2024 Fall Semester

As Liberty University students gear up for the 2024 Fall semester, they can look forward to a host of exciting updates from Liberty Dining, promising enhanced convenience, new menu offerings, and improved dining experiences across campus. These changes, guided by student feedback, are set to make mealtime on campus even more enjoyable.

One of the most anticipated additions is the new Shake Smart location at Tinney Café in the Jerry Falwell Library. Announced at the end of the 2024 Spring semester, this health-conscious eatery will celebrate its grand opening on August 22nd with a special Free Shake Day, where customers can enjoy a regular shake at no cost throughout the day.

In addition to this new location, the Chick-fil-A on campus underwent a light refresh over the summer. The renovation included the installation of self-order kiosks, a move aimed at improving efficiency during peak hours. With heavy customer traffic, these kiosks are expected to streamline the ordering process and reduce wait times.

The award-winning Reber-Thomas Dining Center is also rolling out a series of exciting new menu items and specials:

• Smash’d Burger: Crab cakes will be available three days a week.
• Cookout Zone: Chicken fries will now be served during late-night hours, with the popular chicken patty sandwiches offered daily for lunch and dinner.
• Chopsticks: New offerings include Indian food from Monsoon Kitchen three days a week, a pork belly bao bun sandwich, and six new sauce flavors for Asian dishes.
• Mexican Cantina: Ranchero steak and hot plate specials are now part of the menu.
• Street Rollers: Soft pretzels, popcorn, Johnsonville Sausages, and wedge fries are being added to the late-night specials.
• Bistro: Fries are now available.
• Comfort Kitchen: Catfish is making a comeback.
• Little Italy: The menu expands to include cheese tortellini, gnocchi, and risotto.
• Omelette Bar: Sliced cherry tomatoes will now be offered as a topping.
• Pizza Station: Caesar salad will be a daily option.
• Beverage Stations: Sliced lemons will be stocked for added flavor.

Duke Davis, District Manager, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming semester: "We are extremely excited to open the semester with all of the new changes and additions to our stellar dining program. We are committed to continued innovation to ensure our students, faculty, and staff are provided with fresh new concepts and menu creativity."

These updates demonstrate Sodexo's commitment to continually enhancing the dining experience at Liberty University, ensuring that students have access to diverse and high-quality meal options.
