What’s Cookin’ at Grace Dodge Hall this Year

Favorites on the menu and streamlined service model. Grace Dodge Dining Hall service starts for the year on Tuesday, September 3.

August 12, 2024

Grace Dodge was a popular introduction to the Columbia Dining portfolio last academic year. With its reopening in the fall, the team is fine tuning the menu to focus on crowd favorites and to simplify transactions in the servery. Here’s what to expect!

Focusing on Your Favorites

The Grace Dodge dining menu will now focus on your favorites. The two main stations will be the made-to-order salad bar and the ramen bar. A meal at Grace Dodge Dining Hall will be one swipe or one price, to include: customized salad or customized Ramen bowl, plus fruit, dessert, and drink. (Columbia Dining fans, this is similar to the model at Chef Mike’s Sub Shop or Chef Don’s Pizza Pi.)  

To make things easier for you, you’ll order directly at the counter and swipe or pay right there, too.

Here's How it Works:

  • Enter the servery and join either the ramen or salad bar line.
  • Place your custom order at the counter.
    • Salad bar: choice of one salad greens base + protein + toppings (choose from shredded carrots, tomatoes, red onions, feta, edamame, avocado, dried fruit, and more)
    • Ramen station: choice of shiro miso (vegan) broth or tonkatsu broth + protein + toppings (choose from sauteed bok choy, shredded carrots, edamame, corn, cilantro, green onions, mushrooms, and more)
  • After you collect your entree, tap you card at the cashier stand (or pay by credit card, Dining Dollars, or Flex) and grab a dessert, hand fruit, and beverage cup.
  • Grab your drink on the way out: soda and coffee are inside the servery and a hydration station will be available in the seating area.
