UNOFFICIAL GUIDE
Beyond these there are several fast food hotspots that can fill your belly. I will just name
a few lumped together by location.
Bobo’s Chicken - If you aren’t from the area, you gotta try this place. There is no
address because it is just a trailer parked in a parking lot on 23rd Street. Go west of
Lincoln for about a mile or two and look for lights mounted on a trailer connected to a
truck. They usually park it on the south side of the road. They open around 10:30 on
Friday and Saturday nights and serve chicken wings. They are the best, greasiest,
greatest, wings in the world. They smoke them first then fry them, put them in a
Styrofoam container with French fries and fry bread, then drench the whole shebang in
honey. It is cash only, and around 10 dollars will feed you and your date.
If you want a change of scenery, you can head to one of these areas:
Downtown: There is Abuelo’s, Zio’s, and Pearl’s Crabtown to name a few. These are
mostly sit-down chain restaurants. The downside is parking, which is either hard to
come by or far away from where you want to eat.
South Meridian Ave: Head west on I-40 and go south at the Meridian exit. There are
restaurants like On the Border, Panera, Charleston’s, etc.
Northwest Expressway: Go north on I-235 to I-44. Take I-44 west to the Northwest
Expressway exit (it’s a left exit). In that general area you can find a Chili’s, Olive Garden,
Pei Wei, and Moe’s. If you go down farther there are a few more choices.
May Ave: Take the same route to Northwest Expy, but go west for about two miles and
you will see an exit for N. May Ave. Here is the infamous Ted’s Escondido, and some
other restaurants worth trying, like Zorba’s (Greek food) or Cous Cous (Moroccan).
For a really high-class dinner, one of our mod favorites was Café do Brazil located at 440
NW 11th St # 100. It is fairly close to campus and has excellent food. The catch is that
you can expect to pay $25 or so for a meal. You won’t regret it though.
North of the capitol on Lincoln you can find… Subway, Arby’s, Grandy’s, Wendy’s,
Pizza Hut, Taco Rico, Chinese, Church’s Chicken, BBQ, etc.
If you travel west on 23 rd St. you will find… Sonic, Church’s Chicken, Popeye’s
Chicken, Mexican, McDonalds, Carl’s Jr., Taco Bell, KFC, Long John Silvers, Subway
etc.
“Without question, the greatest invention in the history
of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was
also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as
well with pizza." -Dave Barry”
