Welcome to Taylor’s

Here to serve all of OSU
Enjoy our interactive food action stations run by students for $12.50. Open from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday during the spring and fall semesters and located in the Nancy Randolph Davis building, the teaching restaurant provides students, faculty, staff, and OSU guests an option for lunch not found elsewhere on campus. Each week’s menu highlights a new cuisine.
We strongly recommend reservations through Phone, OpenTable app, or HTM website.

New system and new procedures

  1. Make a reservation in the OpenTable app or our website.
  2. Check-in with your name at the host station.
  3. Go through our new concept of interactive action serving stations, where sous chefs will personally take care of you.
  1. Don’t forget to grab your dessert and drink as a part of our the all-inclusive system.
  2. Pay at the register with a credit card or meal plan card (cash is not accepted).
  3. If seating is available at the dining room (very limited), make it your own. But always respect the 6-foot social distancing rule.

In our “back-to-normal,” we still take extra precautions

We decided to maintain safety guidelines to protect student workers and patrons:

  • Cash will not be accepted this semester.
  • Action stations implemented where student sous chefs will serve each guest individually, eliminating self-serving.
  • Kitchen stations will be strictly divided to maintain safe distancing as much as possible.
  • Hand sanitizing stations will be located at every entrance and at kitchen stations for extra precautions.
  • A student manager will guide patrons in the dining room to maintain social distancing.
  • Strict reservation policy to maintain adequate restaurant capacity.
