The James W. Jackson Dining Room – named after the late James W. Jackson in recognition of his 28 years of exemplary and distinguished service to Appalachian State University.
The Jackson Dining Room, or JDR, is located off the main lobby of the facility. Wi-Fi is available. The JDR offers both ambiance and diverse dining options throughout the day every day. Dine either near our majestic stone fireplace, made from local Tennessee black stone, or take in the beautiful 25 mile mountainous view from the completely windowed wall. Enjoying an early breakfast with a breathtaking sunrise over the mountain tops is a highlight for many of our guests. Our delightful cuisine, impressive views, and live student entertainment make the JDR a truly special place to “dine at the top."
