Food Service

Our Food Service provides daily nutritional meals to students, faculty, and staff on the Emmetsburg, Estherville and Spencer campuses.

We also provide several types of meal plans for students, especially those living on campus. Food Service also provides food and beverages for special events.

Emmetsburg and Estherville cafeterias are open Monday through Friday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Spencer will provide noon and evening meals (Monday - Friday) with limited service at breakfast. You can check out the weekly menus during the fall and spring semesters on My Iowa Lakes or on our Facebook page.

You may purchase meals with cash as you wish, buy a meal card for $15 to use instead of cash or purchase a meal plan.
