Every part of your Dobyn’s Dining Room experience includes work done by students and products grown on campus.

Best Menu Items

Dobyn’s Dining Room has many different amazing menu options, but here is the top from each category. For the appetizers, the best option is the Smoked Catfish Cakes. This is Dobyn’s take on the crab cake and uses some of the best catfish around. The catfish is hickory smoked and served with a smoked tomato tartar sauce. The best soup option is the signature smoked tomato soup. This soup uses vine ripened tomatoes with a basil cream sauce. Finally, for dinner is the Kansas City Strip. This angus steak is aged 21 days and then hand cut and grilled. The strip is served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and garden vegetables. This amazing dish perfectly sums up the flavor and effort that goes into each of Dobyn’s amazing dishes.
