Always Happy to Help

Red Apple Dining has served Seminole County Public Schools for more than 75 years. You might have known us by other names, but what has always remained constant is our longstanding commitment to exceptional service and high quality meals.

At the heart of Red Apple Dining is our community. People are our strength. That’s why it brings our caring team so much joy to provide exceptional service each day by helping you select fruits and vegetables or greeting you with a smile at the register. We’re better together.

We’re also passionate about quality. From our chicken biscuit to oven fresh pizza, you’re guaranteed a breakfast and lunch meal made with premium ingredients when you dine with us. Our partnerships with local farmers and vendors ensure we serve multiple healthy, fresh options to you daily.

Whether you’re a new guest or a guest that has dined with us before, we can’t wait to see you in our campus restaurants. Welcome to Red Apple Dining and thank you for allowing us to serve you.

 

Our mission is to nourish and enrich the lives of our guests through an exceptional dining experience.
