Food Trucks to Return May 2021

Beginning May 3, the NIH community will ha food trucks available to serve staff on the Bethesda Main Campus in the 10H parking lot. Weather permitting, these trucks operate daily from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., or until the food runs out. The Division of Amenities and Transportation Services (DATS) have worked with the R&W and Eurest Dining to offer a variety of rotating trucks and concepts to meet everyone's palate.  Please bookmark the DATS Food Page for full details and to stay updated on all the offerings.

A full list of food trucks and menus can be found on the R&W's website.  Food trucks will not operate in poor weather conditions. A weather check will be conducted daily at 4:00 p.m. the preceding day. If the weather is forecasted to exceed 95˚F or the chance of precipitation is greater than 70%, the trucks will not operate the following day.  

Continued operation of the food trucks will depend upon demand by the NIH community.

Be sure to maintain physical distancing while waiting in line or receiving your food, and remember safe distancing while enjoying your lunch. 

These trucks are sponsored by DATS, Office of Research Services. Please direct comments and concerns to our Food Services Team at 301-827-3248 or ORSWEPB@ors.od.nih.gov.
