Welcome to Taylor’s

Here to serve all of OSU
Enjoy our interactive food action stations run by students for $14.95. Open from 11 a.m.-1:15 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 via this website. For groups of nine or more guests, please send your request through the "Reserve the Banquet Room" button, and we will try to accommodate you in Taylor's as availability allows.
Metered Parking is available adjacent to Taylor's on Athletic Ave. Please see map.
