Read has its own food options inside the building, which serve a wide variety of fresh and healthy dishes to suit every palate and meet many dietary guidelines. A short walk across the quad is the Forest dining facility. The eatery is open every day, and has large, bright seating areas that overlook picturesque Kinsey Hollow.

Off-campus restaurants on 3^rd Street or Kirkwood Avenue are within easy walking distance as well. These neighborhood restaurants offer delicious local fare and great Bloomington hospitality.
