Juniata College Top Questions

Tell us about the food and dining options.

The main eating areas in Juniata are Baker and Muddy. Baker has a cafeteria format, with several areas with different food options that change each day. As a result, the quality can be hit-and-miss. One day they might make an amazing baked chicken; the next day, there might be bland fish. There are sometimes vegetarian, organic dishes made of ingredients from the school's farm and cooked by students, and those are generally good. Muddy was originally called Muddy Run after a river near Juniata; now it is officially Eagle's Landing, but no one calls it that. It is set up like a food court. The food is pretty good and consistent, but it can be repetitive. People usually go there for quick meals. There are some restaurants and coffee houses in town, like Boxer's and Standing Stone, and they are pretty good, but students mostly go to those places for special occasions.
