Best places to eat on Clemson University's campus
There are a variety of fantastic restaurants, all just steps away from campus and the nearby Clemson apartments, making it easy to enjoy diverse dining options. Whether you are in the mood for a quick meal or a sit-down meal, Clemson University's campus offers food options for every craving. One of my favorite parts about Clemson's dining plan is the various restaurants that take dining dollars, paw points, on campus. This gives students the opportunity to change their eating habits and explore new options no matter if you live in an on or off campus apartment. I love being close to on-campus food options—it's perfect for busy days, meeting up with someone, or when I have a visitor in town.
Clemson On-campus Dining
Clemson's on-campus dining options include diverse cuisine and tastes. If you are near Core Campus or
Memorial Stadium, Which Which, Chick-fil-A, Raising Canes, Stripes Grill, and Blenz Bowls are the best food options. Stripes Grill is a new restaurant known for their smash burgers and slushies. The Buffalo Chicken wrap is my favorite menu item other than the smash burger! The right next store is Which Which, where you can design your own deli sandwich. This is a great choice if you're on the go and need a hearty, satisfying meal. When located on the east campus or near the Hendrix Student Center, visit Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, Einstein Bagel, or the new Halal Shack.
The Halal Shack offers fresh Mediterranean cuisine with an American touch. Additionally, students and visitors can pay to eat at the university dining halls if they do not currently have a dining plan. There are three dining halls on campus with differing menus every day of the week. This can be an excellent way for potential students to get a feel for Clemson's dining services.
Core Campus:
- Which Which
- Chick fil A
- Raising Canes
- Stripes
- Blenz Bowls
East Campus:
- Chick fil A
