Wow. Getting old. I only know Real Chili.

Wales on Wells. Cousins. Marquette Gyros. Angelos. Suburpia. Ham N' Egger.

Angelo's closed down a couple years ago. Soblemans is now in that spot.

They mentioned MU is the landlord so I am guessing Marquette bought up all that property?

[GGGG]

Yeah...a long time ago.  I think that was done under DiUlio.

Graduated in 08' and from your list I know cousins, real chili, marquette gyros and angelos.  Wales on Wells, suburpia and ham n'egger must be newer.  Made the mistake of eating half of a marquette gyro and leaving it in my room overnight on multiple drunk occassions.  Not a pleasant smell in the morning.

What a surprise! It was always packed (with underaged students). I think they may have been nailed for serving to minors a few too many times to keep business going.

I found it very difficult to stay in shape during my time at Marquette. So many great places to eat - all terribly unhealthy. Jogged almost every day and still gained weight.

Marquette Gyro's
Dogg Haus  - Two Chi dogs and a basket of chili cheese fries was one of my favorite drunk meals
Sobleman's - Simply legendary. Though I was pretty much out of commission for the rest of the day/night after a meal here. It was down in the industrial wasteland when I was a student.
Real Chili
Sal's - my other drunken go-to, especially on the way back from the Rave or visiting my fancy friends in the 2040 lofts. Those garlic knots haunt my dreams.
Broken Yolk
Angelo's - I heard it burned down or something? I remember the deep dish pizza being pretty amazing, but that may have been the inebriation. That place didn't give one fork about serving minors.
Qdoba - I remember a constant barrage of free promotions.
Those freaking "cheesy fries" things sold at every dorm store that stank up the whole hall. The epitome of immediate gratification via grease and fat.
Of course, Dominos was always a presence.

Blue Deli and Dal's

How could I forget...Sy's Deli! Oy!

Try visiting campus once in awhile for chrissakes.  It's pretty cool.

But they do need to bring back Wales on Wells. That place was the bomb.

Before there was Marquette Gyros, you could get a pretty good gyros at the Circle.

I'm guessing your drive from Barrington is a little easier than mine has been from Kandahar??

Seriously, Milwaukee has just been off the radar for many years. My wife had more reason to go back to the Midwest and visited MU often. I do need to get back, though. I look at scenes of the campus today and am amazed that it now looks like just that, a campus.

[swoopem]

You don't want to go back for a bball game?

Aaah, just borrow a warthog and make sure there's lots of refueling tankers along the way. You can put the hog down somewhere near the union... should work.

Honestly, there isn't a restaurant in the group I'd eat in today. If I am going to block my arteries, it isn't going to be over a grease filled bowl of beans, a submarine that had enough oil in it to allow the U.S.S. Nautulis to sail  or some greasy gyro, hot dog, pizza or other snack food so bad not even my cocker spaniel would eat it.

Let the record reflect that Angelos was the worst pizza known to mankind. The pitchers were relatively cheap and the decor was classic dark alley. You ate there because Sagarriha was particularly bad in a given night (probably because they were serving that infamous Saga special, el Rauncho), it was -20 outside and the nearest restaurant worth eating in was in Waukesha County.

Since Mom and Dad lived in Tennessee, going home for a home cooked meal was expensive and time consuming.

[JakeBarnes]

I don't care if it's not there anymore... Ziggy's deserved a review. 

[T-Bone]

Best food places no longer there - early 90's edition.
Rick's on Wells,
Wales on Wells,
Taco place in the 2000's (address) of Kilbourn.  A guy made tacos in the family kitchen amid sleepy kids and other normal household life going on.  Assuming licensing wasn't really factored into running the business.

Even if you ate essentially all of it, getting the container and bag out of your living quarters is necessary. Everything must be gone.

We'd get gyros and have a couple of stray onions, some of the ZFB sauce, maybe a little strip of lamb leftover... my roommate would gather up all the trash and literally open the door to the apartment and throw it out into the hallway. Wasn't going to bother walking all the way outside to the dumpster and refused to discard gyro remnants in the apartment. We were really awful neighbors that year.

T-Bone - you're talking about Jose's? That was great. Walk into dude's house and have a meal.

Ziggy's drunk window was beautiful.

I always liked Taco City. And A Taste of Philly... and Pizza Joe's.

[Skitch]

I liked Pizza Joe's.  Good wings by the bucket. There was a place near wales that had pizza by the slice. 2 slices and a beer for $3. Spent a lot of late nights there.

Jose's is the name. 
And forgot Pizza Joe's.  Great wings.

04 grad here. I rememfber eating at louis d's a lot as a freshman. Also I would occasionally travel near the uwm campus to get Oakland Gyros.

The old one or the expanded shop?

I don't care as long as I can get my chiliburger and Oreo shake. Between that and the drinking, it's a miracle I didn't leave campus weighing 200 pounds.

Early 90's addition missing Guiliano's (sp) ?   Disappointing!

I thought you tipped it at 250#??
