Harvard University Dining Services Walks Back New ‘Pub Night’ Menu After Student ComplaintsHarvard University Dining Services walked back spring 2025 changes to its weekend dining hall menus on Tuesday after students complained that the new options were “junk food.”HUDS introduced the “Pub Night” theme, serving mozzarella sticks and burgers on Fridays and pizza and chicken tenders on Saturdays, in an attempt to draw students back to dining halls on the weekends.But outcry among undergraduates prompted a swift about-face.“Effective immediately, we are transitioning back to the old menus and style of service, to include traditional hot entrees, starches and vegetables,” HUDS spokesperson Crista Martin wrote in an emailed statement on Tuesday afternoon.She added that HUDS made the switch after receiving “feedback from some number of students who did not appreciate the menus and wished us to return to the previous dinner formats.”…“Dinner, I feel, is the meal that HUDS does make like an actual meal — like entree, vegetable, lots of nutritional variety and availability,” Unini said. “And I don’t know if this food is doing that.”One post with more than 400 upvotes read, “HUDS tonight is giving school lunch pre michelle obama” — invoking the former first lady’s efforts to improve the nutritional standards of school lunches.Some students said they were particularly frustrated by the limited options for students with dietary restrictions.Arjun Nageswaran ’25, who is vegetarian, said on Saturday that the current selection “makes it difficult to find a nice warm meal when your only choices are between mozzarella sticks and burgers.”Taj S. Gulati ’25, sitting in the Eliot House dining hall for dinner on Saturday, pointed to his vegan friend and said, “That guy is just eating like a bowl of black beans every day. It’s insane how bad it is.”
