What was the place for drunk food where you went to college?

What was the best place in your college town for drunk food?

I went to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and we had a few good places:

Perkins: Short walk from the dorms and was open 24 hours at the weekend. They always got a lot of business from drunk and stoned students.

Southpoint Diner: Was a bit of a drive from campus unless you lived on the south side, but the food was cheap and decent. Was also popular with smokers because the whole restaurant was a smoking section (and still is to this day, IIRC)

They Gyros and Kebab Shop: This was on Main Street, convenient to all the bars downtown. It's Run by one of the econ profs whose family fled the Iranian Revolution in '79. Best. Drunk Food. Ever.

Bill's Pizza: Best pizza in Stevens Point, and they deliver, too! The guy who runs the joint looks out for his drivers, too. He doesn't make them use their own cars, he's got a fleet of mid 90s vintage Ford Escorts that he uses.

Erbert & Gerbert's: Wisconsin based sub sandwich chain, located on the square, where most of the city's finest drinking establishments are. Half the fun of eating here drunk is trying to pronounce the fucked up names they have for their sandwiches.

Taco Bell, Right on Division Street, near the dorms, cheap as fuck, just never use the drive thru, as the shit for brains working the drive thru always fuck up your order. However, if you go in and order, it's usually not a problem.

burritos as big as your head in Madison, WI. :-)

I didn't know it was a chain.

There are a lot of them around college campuses, I think.

I don't know of any White Castle's in Wisconsin.

There are not White Castles west of Minnesota.

Jimmy Johns

Karl Marx Pizza
Taco Time
Sellas Calzone
Burger King

I drool just thinking about it...

I drool just thinking about it...

since RoFo was robbed practically once a week, and the robberies were always late at night, if you went there for your drunk food, you were taking a risk. People swore by the RoFo chicken, but I never touched the stuff. Me, it was Krispy Kremes.

I was shocked as shit to find out they have a webpage. This is the greasiest greasy spoon I've ever been in. Also, the prices have gone up by nearly 50% since I graduated in 2002. I blame the Presi-dunce. :dunce:

Not that I eat eggs, steak, bacon, sausage anymore...but they served the best ever. Yes...their $8 steak was better than Ruth's Chris or Morton's. I do realize that is an apples to oranges comparison. It's also true.

there was a Jimmy Johns, and a Pizza House open till 4am, as well as other pizza places that would deliver.

I forgot Cottage Inn Pizza...

When I was in flight school, those late Saturday nights always seemed to take us to Jack in the Box (they were open all night in those days).

Best chili burger in the universe. :9

Taco Bell had a drive through. Thankfully, one of my friends didn't drink so he would always take us to Taco Bell after the bar.

If we were adventerous, we would go to IHOP and get us some buckweat pancakes.

Purple Pizza or...Swenson's ice cream...both of which were also patronized by err people who had the munchies as well...

College Park, MD > Brookland, DC. At least it used to be...College Park is turning into an over-developed giant strip-mall. That's my impression of it, at least.

I'll have to check out those places.

:hi:

Unfortunately, I know Swenson's isn't around anymore (Boo). Not sure about Purple Pizza though. I graduated in 1991 so its been awhile.
Even the big drinking spot the Vouz is gone...

An Ann Arbor institution since 1936. Pizza and lots of greasy food and it's open until 4:00 a.m.

Taco Bell was another; so was Burger King when it was right on campus but the Brown Jug -- or Slug as it's known locally -- is tops.

I did not know it was open till 4am.

I was there all the time though.

they both served beer late too. weee!

:hi:

The breakfast buffet at 3:00 am, or one of those shredded pot roast sandwiches with mashed potatoes. Mmmmmm. :9

Mmmmmmmm....Wawa hotdogs at 3:00am....

I learned that on South St. in Philly. It's also a thought exercise...ordering food by touchscreen when you're blind-drunk.

:cry:

On edit: and they're hoagies. HOAGIES.

you're lucky I didn't say grinder. We sometimes tack a spare "a" on the front of pizza too. And liquor is only sold in package stores.

Regional dialects are amusing.

I still sport a small scar on my face because I *needed* to go to Wawa for that soft pretzel at 2am my senior year

stupid sidewalk shrubbery :mad:

There wasn't any really good 24 hr diners within stumbling distance from my college bar so Wawa was the spot...mmmmmmmm pork roll sizzli sandwiches :9

Steverenos Pizza (now an empty building) at Five Points, Taco Stand (Mexican, 'natch, universally abbreviated to T-Stand), Mean Bean (Mexican), The Beanery (Tex-Mex) The Grill (burgers), the China Boat (cheap and abundant chinese food, now empty), Gyro Wrap (just what the name suggests), and Allen's in Normal Town (bar and grill fare) all come to mind. There used to be a Philly cheese steak place on Broad Street and a big pizza place whose name I've forgotten. And of course, there was a guy that ran a hot dog cart for YEARS outside the bars at night, sadly gone now, too.

but people who have been here longer tell me that it was good at one time. I will take their word for it.

I would have hated to be a waitperson there after midnight. NOBODY was sober!

I'd sober up with a plate of hama nd eggs. That was 35 years ago and its still in business in the same location.

Because nothing goes with a litre of Rumple Minze like greasy bacon, eggs and hash browns.

Everyone in my lab had Waffle House T-shirts because my prof insisted on a stop at WH on the way to early morning field work. It was the standing joke-- we called ourselves Berisford's Bark Beetle Boys and wore Waffle House T-shirts. Until the first female student arrived, LOL.

Kentucky Wesleyan. Open all night.

There was a place in town called The Royce that served breakfast 24/7 too.

Southside Barbecue was open pretty late as well.

Isla Vista, CA

Awesome nachos!

:patriot:

Sometimes we'd wind up at Abo's Pizza on The Hill, or Silvermine Subs, but Denny's is the most common place.

We still manage to find our way there about once a month when we decide it's time to get drunkified.

I went to college in a small town (population 8,000, including 2,000 college kids), and TJ's was the only place open after 1:00 a.m. Bean burritos and potato ole's are still a sentimental drunk favorite.

I swear I made better breakfast burritos drunk than I ever did sober. Even sober people said so. Oh, those were the days.... 4am trips to the grocery store for chorizo, potatoes, and cheese..... yum.

What is the famous Nick Tahou's Garbage Plate™? We start with a base of any combination of home fries, macaroni salad, baked beans, or french fries topped by your choice of meats and dressed to your liking with spicy mustard, chopped onions, and our signature Nick Tahou's hot sauce. Each plate comes with two thick slices of fresh italian bread and butter.

long distances, to chase women at colleges at some far distances from home.

Hey, I may have not always caught the women, but it did give me the chance to discover America Treasure like the Garbage Plate. And to do so while I was still young enough to appreciate them.

Redstone

Drunk students and assorted "characters" inside. The place is no longer there; a porno store is now in the location. (I'm not making that up.)

There was a small chain sub shop we'd go to, often after a smoking 'session,' but its name escapes me right now.

Mama Lisa's was the place to go for pizza.

Note: All of these places required us piling into a car to get there.

Another favorite was to have "lunch at the J." The "J" was what everyone called the upstairs bar at the Jumbo Lounge (a notorious club in the city). Lunch consisted of 25 cent drafts.

and the only place we could go late-night was an hour away...up to Alexandria to Perkins.

Arcata Pizza and Deli. :9

Richmond Street just off campus, London Ontario

Also Mother's Pizza closer to downtown.

Viva San Diego.

take a guess!

:rofl:

Helen's donuts was the place. Just be careful not to block any of the garbage trucks in.

Anyone who's ever been drunk in New Brunswick knows exactly what I'm talking about

You beat me to it.

Also, Cluck U Chicken.

the best drunk food on the planet. All others are pretenders to the throne.

That was the first and last time I ever had a hamburger and french fries soaked in ketchup all wrapped up in a pita. I just drooled a little bit.

back in the 60s, 70s and 80s

but I remember the grease wagons too.

Livingston College '75

Blue Danube.

I shit you not!

Everything else would be closed by the time we all rolled out of the pub, so a hot doner kebab was the only option for late night munchies. On warmed pita bread, with lettuce, tomato, onion and extra hot sauce, it was a little piece of heaven. I once tried one sober, and it was the worst thing I've ever tasted, so excessive alcohol consumption was a necessary part of the magic.

Open 24 hours.

Otherwise, SE Portland kind of sucks.

Wawa = also a popular drunk hangout (not to mention the place where I got the vast majority of my alcohol while in college. Cheap beer, Mike's Hard Lemonade, Smirnoff Ice...yup.)

:toast:

:rofl: "drunk food" at LABC... :rofl:

Okay, maybe the students who drank (against their signed pledge that they would not) could answer this, but I didn't drink.

:hi:

It was located at the corner of Somerset Street and Easton Avenue, just off the Rutgers College campus, but it's long gone. Moved to Arizona.
"No charge for the extra grease"

Best cheese steak subs anywhere.


I decided to look it up on Google, and there's still a Greasy Tony's in Tempe, AZ.

"Come...to...Taco, taco, taco, taco, taco, taco, taco, taco, Taco Bell!"

A local hot dog joint named the Hot Dog House, which was only open from 10PM-3AM. The owner's name was Eddie. For $2, you could get 3 taco dogs, which were cheap, store-bought hot dogs topped with canned chili, powdered cheese sauce, and crushed stale tortilla chips. It also took him about 10 minutes to place the order.

And yes, they were as gross as they sound.
