Learn more about our Residential Restaurants

We offer vegetarian and vegan meals throughout our dining venues daily. When checking our menu, look for the green (V) next to the menu item. Some locations offer Halal chicken and gluten-free options.

Treat a friend or family member to a meal at one of our Residential Restaurants. Some Dining Plans include free guest meal passes. A guest-meal pass is equivalent to one meal swipe. Guest meal passes are not valid at UCR retail dining locations. If you run out of guest meal passes or do not have a Dining Plan, Dining Dollars are accepted. Read more about Dining Plans.
