- Recycle
those Cans, Baby! ($5-$10)

-
- Chico's
Tacos (aka Tecate Grill) HOWE
AVE.
- Better find a seat - this
place is always packed. Chico's always has great Mexican-type
food. They give out free chips and salsa, too. They've been known
for years as one of the best places to eat off-campus - eat here
once and you'll get hooked!
-
- Old Spaghetti
Factory MIDTOWN
- "Spag Fag" offers
the biggest (and best) meal you can get for six and a half bucks.
It serves... spaghetti, stupid. Make sure you get the free Spimoni
ice cream after any meal. If you want to be a real cheap-ass,
they serve iced tea for free as well. This place used to be a
train station way back in the early 20th century, so it's got
a really cool feel to it.
-
- Mountain
Mike's Pizza LA RIVIERA DR
- All-You-Can-Eat Lunch Buffet...Who
needs that Biology lab, anyway? Mountain Make's serves as a good
meeting place for any occasion. What else can we say? It's the
greatest pizza joint in town!
-
- Mongolian
BBQ HOWE AVE
- Sit here for hours and make
good on that all-you-can-eat offer. Cruise over and make a big
bowl-ful of Noodles and meat and whatever you want on it. They
cook it up right there in front of you. Just don't hand pack!
-
- Bleacher's UNIVERSITY AVE/EXPOSITION AVE
- They do have food here
too, you know. Bleacher's is the only place you can go to and
feel like it's more than a sports bar, but a Sac State sports
bar. Great food, even better drink specials. They spin this giant
wheel on occasion to see what the drink special of the night
is. Come here to watch Kings games, Giants games, you name it.
-
- Merlino's
Orange Freeze
FOLSOM BLVD
- You gotta have an Orange
Freeze at least once while at Sac State. They're kind of like
a cross between slurpees and sweettarts. You have to taste them
to understand. They also serve a wide variety of burgers and
stuff, but check out the Orange Freeze at once! It is essential
on those 100-degree days that we all know and love here in Sacramento.
-
- Johnny
Rocket's DOWNTOWN PLAZA (K
ST MALL)
- Definitely above-average
burgers. Don't expect to see your food come all at once, but
it's a great atmosphere. They even have nickel jukeboxes! It
can be a great place to bring a date before you hit the movies
right next door.
-
- La Bou
HOWE AVE
- When grease just won't do.
Hit La Bou for great sandwiches, soups, or salads. The food as
a little pricey for everyday dining, but it's worth the stop.
Pretty interesting looking architecture.
-
- Original
Pete's Pizza HOWE AVE
- Too much good stuff to eat
here! Pizza, pasta, salads... you can't go wrong at this place.
Definite family atmosphere (if you're in to that sort of thing).
-
- Big Kahuna
Burger K ST (DOWN BY HARD
ROCK CAFE)
- Inspired by the movie Pulp
Fiction; make sure you get the Big Kahuna Balls! Ask for them
by name. If you get a Big Kahuna Burger, it's a full 1/2 pound
burger. It's HUGE! If that's too much for you, order a "wimpy"
burger - it's 1/4 pound, but is it worth the humiliation? They
cater to the downtown office crowd, so don't try coming by at
night (they're closed).
-
- Fresh
Choice HOWE AVE
- When grease just won't do
II. Come here for great soups, salads, and pasta. Always an excellent
choice with women - great place to take a date. Chances are you
can't offend anyone!
-
- Denny's COLLEGE TOWN
- Hey, when the library closes,
it's a good place to study. Time for the ol' bottomless cup o'
joe and a date with that Anthro book.
-
- Lyon's
HOWE AVE
- Likewise on study breaks.
Grab a seat and hit the books. The waitresses will know what
you're up to. Just tip them well!
-
- Zelda's
Pizza 21ST
ST (MIDTOWN)
- Midtown Pizza at its finest.
Everything here from liquor to beer to pizza, of course. You'll
feel like family in this place. If you live in Midtown, frequent
this place often. Once you finally find the place, you'll be
back again and again.
