MWR has combined breakfast, lunch and dinner items from the various restaurants on post into one menu. The items are available for curb side pick-up at MWR to Go, 5380 Tennessee Ave., or on post-delivery, seven days a week.

“The plan is to stay open for as long as possible,” said Keri McPeak, business manager at MWR to Go and Hooper Bowling Center. “We want to ensure Families have a place to order food on post. Many people are getting tired of cooking at home, so this provides them a place to go without leaving post.”

Selections include items from the Artillery Grille, Cole Park Eatery, the Smokehaus, the Warrior Zone and Hooper Grille. Orders can be made 8 a.m.-1 p.m. and 4-9 p.m. daily, by calling 270-798-5887 or 270-461-0013.

“Customers call in, let us know if they want it for delivery or pick-up,” McPeak said. “If customers are picking up, they call when they arrive and pull up to the side door and we’ll walk it out to them. We try to maintain as much social distancing as possible, we wear gloves.”

Delivery drivers wear protective gloves and drive sanitized vehicles that continue to be disinfected throughout the shift. The drivers are Child and Youth Services bus drivers and do not accept tips. Delivery is available for any office, home or barracks on post.

“We’ve worked out a system to deliver to the quarantine area,” she said. “We just require a minimum of three orders, and we waive the delivery fee for them.”

The facility and the kitchen area also are continually deep cleaned to keep the workers and customers safe, McPeak said. MWR is working hard to provide good food in an easily accessible way for the Fort Campbell community.

“Everything is paid over the phone, we don’t take cash, and our delivery fee is $4,” she said. “We will not go into buildings for delivery. The Family meals can be ordered ahead of time or right away, because they are heat-and-eat. We put the meals in containers and provide instructions for how they can heat it up, and it’s a lot of food. Family meals are available for two people, four people or six people.”

“I think we have a wide variety of items on our menu and we are still giving everybody a little taste of everything,” McPeak said. “I encourage customers to give us feedback."

The full menu is available at https://campbell.armymwr.com/promos/mwr-to-go.

Feedback can be emailed through the link on the webpage and there is a QR (quick response) code on the paper menu that comes with your food to make it easy to respond. MWR is here for you.

“We just encourage you to try us, and thank you for your patronage, and we hope you like our service and menu items,” she said.
