Now Serving
Vail Commons is known for unforgettable entrees and sides, designed to fit every need. This coming academic year, we’re leveling up and bringing the Davison community a whole new identity to Vail Commons, catered towards allergies and dietary needs. Introducing our Friendly Fork program, creating stations free of the main nine allergens; peanut, tree nut, soy, dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, and sesame! The Friendly Fork stations can be found at Herbs and Spices, Corner Grill, and Power Plant in Vail Commons, making these three show-stopping areas FREE of the main nine allergies. Every wildcat, no matter the dietary restriction, can eat comfortably and enjoy all of what these stations have to offer, without the worry of their allergies or intolerances getting in the way.
