Campus Dining
Evea Bainum Cafeteria
The cafeteria, built in 2003, overlooks Flint Creek and is one of the most welcoming spaces on Ozark Adventist Academy’s campus. More than just a place to eat, it’s where students, faculty, and staff gather to share meals, conversations, and laughter. It's bright and spacious dining room seats over 300 guests.
The outdoor patio, added in 2015, offers a beautiful space for students to enjoy fresh air and fellowship. Long tables encourage conversation over meals, while special events—such as “Prayer Glow,” where students sing, pray, sip hot chocolate, enjoy cookies, and gather around the warmth of the outdoor fireplace—create lasting memories that go far beyond the table.

A GlimpseInside
Our cafeteria serves all-you-can-eat vegetarian meals prepared with the warmth and care of home cooking. Most dishes are made from scratch in our kitchen, with a focus on fresh ingredients and balanced nutrition. Fresh fruits and vegetables are featured in every meal whenever possible, taking priority over canned or prepackaged options. At every meal, alternative choices—such as yogurt, milk, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and fresh produce—are available to students.
We also recognize that every student’s dietary needs are unique. Whether accommodating food allergies, intolerances, or vegan preferences, our food service director and cafeteria staff work closely with students and their families to provide satisfying options.
