Brewha's Bar - This is some hole in the wall sort of bar. It isn't very big. What makes it awesome though is $2 burger baskets. A delicious burger loaded with lettuce, tomato, etc and a side of fries for $2 after tax.

I feel like every college town has some unique restaurants famous amongst their area.

Let's hear a top 3 or top 5, what the restaurant is, what it serves and why it's special.

<u>University of Maryland</u> -

1) Danny's - claims world's greatest hamburger. while this is incorrect, they do have amazing drunk/late-night food, most notably their cheesy fries.

2) Ratsie's - best pizza/hot wings in town. kinda expensive, but a must-visit for anybody hungry after the bars. definitely the best pizza and most delicious wings in college park.

3) Cluck-U - chicken joint specializing in fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, etc. also stars local rap celebrity "Cluck-U Pac," who has music videos online.

note that this thread does not want to hear about chain restaurants such as papa johns, coldstone creamery, etc. only list what your college is unique for.

Ratsie's calzones are amazing as well. But yes, the wings are by far the best in College Park and among the best in the DC area. Also, they never used to ask for ID when ordering beer. Good times.

Is UPac back at Cluck-U? I thought he quit and started working at Santa Fe a few years ago when Cluck-U got a new owner.

Hoagie Haven: greasy, delicious sandwiches. cheesesteaks, chicken parm, gyros, etc. One favoritee of mine is the "fat lady": a cheesesteak with fries, mozzarella sticks, and hot sauce.

Shakespeare's Pizza - by far the best pizza I've ever had and some of the weirdest people I've ever seen work there. They did a little bit on Shakespeare's when we played Oklahoma at home last season

Booche's - $1 a burger, they are a little bigger than the size of your fist, people go in and get 10 of them, great hangover food (imagine white castle x20) Beat: it isn't open late

The Diner - Only open from 11 pm - 6 am and only on the weekends so it is pretty obvious who their target market is. My favorite is "the stretch" It has chili, eggs, onions, peppers, cheese and a bunch of other random stuff I can't remember. It hurts in the morning.

CJ's Hot Wings - homemade sauces (the best of which is BYFO, burn your face off) and the biggest chicken wings I have ever eaten. There is more meat on one of their wings than 3 BWW wings

Cluck-U is a chain. Lots of locations.

At Arizona State when I was there, Long Wong's was legendary. Best wings ever and spawned bands such as the Gin Blossoms. I believe it was torn down and taken over by a new owner and now probably sucks.

PSU has its own creamery, where they sell the ice cream that is made on campus. Though I don't know if it constitutes a restaurant.

Queen's University in Canada.

Bubba's: Delicious poutine.

For some of you unfortunarte Americans who don't know what poutine is, heres some Bubba's.
