Picante: Made-to-order authentic Mexican concept station offering proteins seasoned and roasted in-house, and salsas made from scratch.
Grill: Burgers, chicken sandwiches, and sliders are all favorites off the grill. Quest offers these items as well as enhanced versions of traditional favorites—because a cheeseburger is great, but a jalapeño bacon cheeseburger is amazing! Featuring lean 100% beef, chicken, turkey, and vegetarian options, the Grill offers something for everyone.
Crust: Pizza is not just a staple for students, it’s a Chicagoland staple. Crust offers traditional hand-tossed favorites, gourmet thin crust options, gluten-free options, calzones, and everything in between.

Quest’s Homegrown concept features a rotating menu of Chicago staples; BBQ from Kansas City, Memphis, and Texas; New England seafood classics; Carolina low-country fare; and fresh, produce-centered favorites from Southern California.
Hemispheres: Food unites people and promotes a greater understanding of cultures that may be different than our own. Quest strives to provide authentic international offerings that showcase and educate students about flavors from around the world.
Hearth: Everyone loves a home-cooked meal. Hearth aims to deliver just that. Featuring traditional favorite comfort foods, Hearth brings a taste of home to the school menu.
Crave: Nothing complements a great dining experience like a sweet finish to a delicious meal. Quest’s dessert offerings are made-from-scratch and baked in-house.
Dash: We understand that classes, work, and athletics can make a student’s already busy schedule even busier. That’s why Dash provides a variety of hot and cold grab & go items such as yogurt parfaits, protein boxes, sandwiches and wraps, and much more.
