Georgia Southern University offers a variety of dining options. There are two Residential Dining Halls, the Dining Commons and Lakeside. Other than these two, the university offers several retail options. According to the Eagle Dining website, their mission is to "[provide] those [they] serve with excellent food and exceptional customer services, while providing a sense of community for all."

Dining Commons
The Dining Commons is the central dining area for the Georgia Southern University campus. It offers 10 different eateries which serve cuisine from all around the globe. Prior to 2013, the Dining Commons (referred to as "Landrum" at the time) was considerably smaller and did not offer as much dining variety. The newly renovated space was re-opened for the fall 2013 semester with more options.
