What's Open?
McElroy is open from 8am–2pm, Monday–Friday.
4th of July week (June 29–July 3):
McElroy will be open for Curbside for a Cause pickup only.
Face Covering Required
Effective Wednesday, May 6, all customers and staff must wear face coverings in public. Customers without face coverings will not be permitted in the servery. Thanks for your cooperation.
What's on the Menu?
Due to the rapidly changing environment on campus, McElroy will be open as listed but not be following the normal set menus. We will strive to provide as many options as possible based on what products are available and our staffing levels. Be assured that we will continue to provide meals based on dietary concerns as we have in the past.
