Where to Eat

Breakfast and Lunch

The University’s dining service is offering pre-ordered breakfast and lunch in the Champions lounge for GCC attendees as a convenient option for dining without having to go off-campus.  See below for details.

Alternatively, you may go off campus to purchase food at a local establishment or have it delivered to campus. The University is located in a vibrant area of Houston with many good-quality, reasonably-priced food options, several of which are nearby. Click here for local dining suggestions.
