2024 Franklin &Marshall Diplomat DiningRestaurant Guru

We are proud to offer a dining program complete with signature brands and menu selections that include just about every item you can imagine. Just feast your eyes on what we have available! Featuring a wide variety of fresh food designed to satisfy everyone's appetite with food choices to rival your favorite restaurants.

Menu items at the Restaurants at Ben Franklin are prepared using recipes and ingredients that do not contain tree nuts or peanuts. All RBF recipes are prepared in a facility that also prepares recipes with allergens such as soy, egg, fish, shellfish, wheat, and gluten. Please be advised that we cannot control exposure to food allergens or gluten by food manufacturers or our suppliers.

Simple Servings: Simple Servings is Sodexo’s innovative solution to proactively address most of the ingredients that account for 90% of all food-allergy reactions: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish, sesame, peanuts, and tree nuts. The 9th FDA-specified allergen, finfish, is included in the offer. Simple Servings also recognizes the current skyrocketing demand for gluten-free foods, which certain students may require out of medical necessity (Celiac disease) or simply by choice. Simple Servings also appeals to students who prefer plain and simple foods and those with other health-related dietary concerns, such as Type I diabetes.

With Simple Servings, students can comply with food allergies or other dietary concerns without feeling singled out. They won’t have to go off-campus for their meals or miss out on dining with their friends while waiting for the chef to prepare their meals specially. All foods offered at the Simple Serving station are naturally free of milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, and gluten. Straightforward preparation techniques assure transparency of ingredients and help students prepare to be responsible for their own shopping and cooking in the future. The lunch and dinner menus change daily and include varied protein options: fish, beef, pork, chicken, and turkey. All side dishes are vegan, containing no milk, eggs, or meat products. Most proteins at Simple Servings are halal-friendly.
