Qdoba

[Hards Alumni]

Michaels is on campus and the Marquette Special with a side of biscuits and gravy is fantastic.

no, its NEAR campus.  23rd street is not Marquette... how far would  you extend Marquette's 'campus'?  The last Marquette owned building on Wisconsin going west is Mashuda Hall, and that is on 20th.

and the food and service are terrible.

I haven't been to Michael's.  It does look kind of ghetto.  As far as "on campus", I will agree that it's not on the boundaries of campus.  Though if you're going to go to a dining place for breakfast it's not far away.  I go to the Taco Bell there once in a while (gross Taco Bell food, but very good service).  I'm not sure if you consider 2040 on campus, but a new breakfast place just opened in the building, I'm not sure of what they serve or how good it is though but at least 2040 has been proactive about getting more options near campus.

The last thing MU needs is another greasy burger joint on campus (Remember Louie D's anyone?) for the girls to get fat at.

My friends and I high fived each other when DQ left and Webbs opened.

I will miss Webb's because now there is no good breakfast place on campus (that I can remember).  I welcome Qdoba, but GW will be missed by me.

 

I will also agree that it would be nice to get something that doesn't serve greaseburgers.  Gyros and Ziggy's have enough grease for everyone, and the Annex serves burgers too.  Though restaurants/schools contribution to people getting fat is a long-going debate throughout the country; I've seen girls get the veggie sub in line at Subway to pretend to eat healthy while loading it up with extra cheese and extra mayo, three cookies, and a large soda.  So restaurant selection isn't everything, though I think giving students healthy eating options should be a consideration when they decide which restaurants to bring to campus.  Besides choosing which of the three sub places you want to get the same sub at there's not a lot of healthy eating, and my liking of A&W doesn't fly health-wise as that's pretty much a DQ with a popular root beer.

Since students live in the Patrician Apartments across the street I would call that campus.

what do you want, the buffet at the Pfister?  When I'm drunk and hungry at 4 am, I want food.  don't care if it's good, slow, etc.

And sometimes you get free entertainment with your meal!

Healthy food in Milwaukee?!? 

[muhoosier260]

Michaels.

Miss Katie's is pretty solid

[Marquette Gyros]

Qdoba is no Chipotle, but this place is going to pose a serious challenge to Gyros' late-night dominance if it stays open past midnight.  Good news for drunken students looking for a little variety.  Time for a trip back there to enjoy it all -- when's Buzz's first home game?

G-Webb never stood a chance.  The food was alright, I guess, but it was sloooowwww... even if you were the only person in line, it'd take 10+ minutes for your order.  The food has to be really good to withstand consistent waits like that.

Off topic, I've been abroad way too long.  I'd kill for Gyros, Qdoba, Chipotle, or even the chicken strips from Webb right now.

I agree, the thing that did suck about GW was the super slow service... but then again, it isn't supposed to be fast food.

and at 4am I usually didn't care what the food tasted like either, usually, but getting me to walk to 23rd st would have been a chore to say the least... We did it a few times, but Gyros and Webb's were always closer... and I didn't feel obligated to tip for crappy service.

and I know students who lived in the Library Hill apartments, but that doesn't mean its campus... I mean, its called 'Off-Campus housing' for a reason, right?

WH.. WH.. WHAT???!?  As a former Westie, YOU SIR, ARE BANNED!

[Schoolyard]

While I eat Chipotle 3-4 times a week, neither it nor QDoba is qualified late night food.  Both are too fresh, you need something with some grease...'Bamba, Taco Burrito Express, Allende are tops in Chicago, El Chico Zuma in Milwaukee is decent.  Getting late night eats at Chipotle is like going to Alverno or Mount Mary to Hook-up.  Brutal.

Too bad Webb's is being forced out, they offered MU kids a little bit of culture.

lol, hey believe what you want, but it is off campus.

Classic!   

[mosarsour]

I was critical of campus business back in the thread a few months ago, so I'll say this is a start.  I'll take Qdoba over George Webb any day.  Better place to go after the bar...  

Qdoba will not be open at 2 or 3 am.

[IAmMarquette]

Qdoba will not be open at 2 or 3 am.

Unless I'm mistaken, Q'Doba on Prospect is open until 3am.

[muhoosier260]

I can see it being open til 2 on the weekends for sure. I've been to one in broad ripple in indy and it was open til 4.

exactly my point.

[Avenue Commons]

wow, webb's went over like a fart in church.

congrats to Mu, they are no longer the only college in the US without a burrito joint.   

I always thought that Jalisco's should open a "Jalisco's Express on MU's campus. They would have made a million dollars. Also, I don't think a Qdoba is a "burrito joint." It's just another "fast casual" restaurant like Baja Express of Chipotle.

How the hell have you attended MU and not gone to Michael's?

[spiral97]

Ah michaels.. went there a few times in my freshman year while living in O'Donnell.  The night before the holiday break started a floormate and I went there and he, needing to quit the habit before seeing his parents the next day, proceeded to chain smoke an entire pack of cigs while we drank coffee.  It actually worked - he was so sick of them by the time he was done he didn't look at another pack for 2 weeks.  It wasn't a long term solution apparently.

[jaybilaswho?]

I would give my left testicle for sobelmans to put a burger branch in on campus, especially a late night one. As an employee of a campus bar, who is almost always hungry after the bar is closed, I would like to have a better choice than Michaels, GW or OP- really anaything is better than these three. But sobelman's, ahhh a boy can dream.
