Armory House Properties’ dining services cater to you!  AHP provides flexible meals plans (choice of 10, 14, or 19 meals per week) with the needs of busy students in mind.  We offer flexible cafeteria hours with the options of requesting a “sack lunch” or “late plate dinner” for students who are not able to make it to the cafeteria during normal hours.  AHP also offers “to-go containers” for times when students would like to eat outside the cafeteria. 

AHP residents may also choose to eat at Hendrick House.  Our cooperative agreement with Hendrick House provides a convenient alternative for students who have classes on the north side of campus or would like a change of scenery!

All residents, including residents of the apartments and annexes, are eligible for a meal plan at AHP.  We offer a variety of plans suited to meet the differing needs of all students.

The cafeteria is small compared to most dorms, which I think is great because it’s easier to really get to meet people.  Also, with the regular and vegetarian choices along with a salad and sandwich bar it’s easy to eat healthier than the other dorms (avoiding the classic freshman 15).

We have all your favorites for breakfast: pancakes, coffee cake, French toast, biscuits and gravy, breakfast burritos, and more!  Check our weekly menu under current residents to see more!

Our dining staff will be happy to create whatever type of omelet you would like using our high quality ingredients.  If you would prefer something simpler, we also serve made-to-order eggs.

Each morning, we offer fresh yogurt, cereals, oatmeal, bagels, and various other light breakfast foods to prepare you for the day ahead.

Lunches at Armory House are anything but typical.  We offer unique lunch cuisines, such as pesto chicken, Reuben sandwiches, and polish sausage.

Our chefs work hard to bring you delicious dinners.  Chicken marsala, enchilada casserole, and lasagna are just some of the delicious dinners you can expect in our café.

Choose from four revolving dining themes, Asian stir-fry, Mexican, panini, and Italian, to create your own, individual entrée.  After choosing from the assortment of meats, vegetables, sauces, and other ingredients, you can request anything from a stir-fry to a quesadilla.  If you can think of it, our chefs can create it!

Our kitchen also offers grill basics each and every day.  Our grill-cook can prepare grilled cheese, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken breasts, and French fries fresh and made-to-order.

Our chefs make it a focus to provide daily vegetarian options.  You won’t find “salad” as the typical vegetarian option; we provide a dedicated vegetarian entrée at every meal.  

Grab a bowl, select some fresh vegetables, throw in your favorites, and top it all off with a choice of dressings to create the perfect salad.  If you’re hungry for a sandwich instead, our deli bar has an assortment of meats, breads, cheeses, and condiments to help satisfy your hunger.

A soup-of-the-day located on the salad bar always accompanies the main dish and is a great option on cold, windy days in Champaign.

The café’s fresh-baked cookies, pies, ice cream cones, ice cream bars, and collection of other desserts are sure to please your sweet tooth.

Whether you prefer water, soft drinks, juices, coffee, tea, or milk, our dining services offer a multitude of beverages to quench your thirst.

Hello, my name is Jason Pokorny and I grew up in Algonquin, IL.  I attended the Culinary Arts School at Elgin Community College and am currently living in Tolono, IL. I have worked at several local restaurants including three years at Montgomery’s on the Square in Monticello, IL as “chef de cuisine.”

I like to watch or play sports in my free time, and my favorite team is the Chicago Cubs. I also enjoy listening to music and watching movies.

I bring my own culinary spin to my food, but I am very open and willing to listen to any suggestions. My door is always open! I look forward to serving you here at Armory House.

Hi everyone, just a little about myself:  I'm originally from the island of Sicily (Italy). I have been cooking for this community for over 34 years. I'm delighted to be here at Armory House and I really enjoy being around young adults and the college environment. I have two boys, our oldest is a U of I graduate with a Masters Degree from NYU. Our younger son graduated from Parkland College and is currently taking time off from Rosen College (UCF) in Orlando. In the meantime he is working at Disney and Sea World in Orlando and having way too much fun!

I love, peaceful summer evenings in my back yard with my husband sipping on iced espresso, beaches and gardening.
