Sample Menus & Food Service Rates

Experience Classic Valle Crucis Hospitality in our Historic Dining Hall

Our Dining Hall meals are served buffet-style with self-service. There is a 10 person minimum for all meals. We do not charge sales or use tax or gratuities for our food service. We happily accommodate any dietary requirements such as vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.. We encourage communication about general dietary preferences, as well (e.g.  if your group is heavily vegetarian or prefers healthier options, or if a more “Homestyle like Grandma used to cook” is more your speed).
