We like to think our restaurants are an extension of your own kitchen. That means no matter where you live, be it independent living, assisted living or skilled nursing, we’ll find you the best table in one of our multiple on-campus eateries.

Each dining venue offers a unique menu, distinct atmosphere and specialized service, including cafeteria service with style, coffee shop grab-and-go and traditional sit-down, service-driven dining. Craving a laidback evening at home? Let us do the cooking – we’ll even deliver it to your door!

Our core menus, daily specials and pop-up gastronomic events are all chef-driven and designed to keep your culinary options fresh, flavorful and interesting. Choose a classic meal like fried chicken. Try something new, such as a quinoa-based Buddha Bowl. Or, go on a taste adventure with Hawaiian chicken tacos. What’s more, our chefs work closely with our professional dietitian to ensure menus, which are updated seasonally, are accented with balanced, nutritious choices.

Give John Knox Village restaurants a try, just be sure to call ahead as restaurant operating hours vary. Learn more about our wide variety of culinary delights by filling out our contact form or calling (816) 892-4294.
