Grubhub Reveals Student Dining Trends

Burritos, cheeseburgers, and chicken quesadillas were the three meals that students ordered most frequently via the Grubhub platform, according to findings from its inaugural ’22–’23 Delivered: Campus Edition report.

Broken out by meal-time, the top food orders were as follows:

• Breakfast: donuts, sausage burritos, and bacon, egg, and cheese bagels.

• Lunch: burrito bowls, mac and cheese, and spicy chicken sandwiches.

• Dinner: pad thai, boneless wings, and miso soup.

On the beverage side, students' most ordered caffeinated beverages were cold brew, vanilla iced coffee, and Frappuccino.

“With demanding schedules, early classes and finals, it’s no surprise college students consume cup after cup of caffeine. When it comes to their cup of joe, students prefer their caffeine served cold. The top three coffee drinks ordered this past year on campus were all cold beverages,” noted Grubhub.
