Food Service

Food Philosophy

Waycross encourages meals as an opportunity for guests to enrich the fellowship among the Waycross family in a home-like Christian environment that allows guests to to enjoy the Waycross experience.  The Director of Food Service is mindful of providing essential, nutritious, healthy foods.  Our food service staff consider it their ministry to prepare fresh, simple, well-balanced foods, specializing in country-style comfort food and of course, our famous Waycross Cookies.  We intend to nourish our guests' bodies, allowing the individual to nourish their mind, spirit, and soul.

All overnight stays include three buffet meals per day.  In addition to our buffet, we also have a full, colorful, salad bar.  Beverages include tea, coffee, milk, juices, cocoa, and water, which are available 24 hours a day.  Sodas and other specialty drinks are available for an additional charge.

Dietary Needs and Special Accommodations

Waycross strives to accommodate the dietary preferences and needs of its guests by offering a variety of choices.  As you dine with us, please feel free to  ask our food service staff for anything that would make your meal more enjoyable, and we will do what we can.

If you have specific dietary needs we recommend you talk with the Director of Food Service and/or bring food items with you to ensure that your dietary requirements can be maintained during your stay.  Refrigerators are available for guest use in our hospitality rooms.

Sustainable Coffee

We serve coffee from the Brown County Coffee Company.  They are a local company in Brown County.  They bring in certified organic coffee beans from around the world to be roasted locally.  The coffee that we serve is our own Waycross Blend! Enjoy!
