The marquette dining options will be expanding this summer...Qdoba will be replacing George Webb's in august. Webb's is just another dorm cafeteria, so it will be nice to see that replaced by qdoba.

If true that is awesome. This also means MU can get another burger place on campus. I was told that MU and GW had an agreement when GW signed the lease that they would not allow another burger place on campus. With George Webb gone now I would assume that another burger place can come

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.

Qdoba is wonderful, but it is no Chipotle. The students at MU should make a push for a 5 Guys Burgers and Fries to be franchised on campus, if in fact the rumored MU-GW pact were true.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Whataburger on campus.

The guy who owned Wales lives across the street from me. I'll ask him.

At a minimum, he should whip you up some cheese fries.

While I do agree Chipotle is better than Qdoba, this is both good and bad news. I may need to work some OT to pay for the money I'm going to lose at Qdoba.

Me and my friends have said for years Qdoba or Chipotle should come to campus. It should be a money maker. There hasn't been a time I've gone to Chipotle (down by MSOE) and not seen at least 2 Marquette students.

Looks like OP's burrito bar just bit the dust.

Have the double bean burrito at Qdoba and then go to church. EA could probably get away with it, though.

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, better (and quicker) place to go when in a hurry, and when you have G-Webb's on one side there's no point in having a health debate. Very few Marquette students go to the Qdoba in Grand Ave, since peak hours for campus restaurants are late night on weekends and quickly inbetween classes.

I'll agree that this might hurt OP's burrito business. As I believe OP may be owned by the devil and refuse to give them any business, I say good.

As far as other restaurant choices, since we still could use another (and keeping the old OP location as an unnecessary and redundant "group meeting location" doesn't cut it for me), I wouldn't say no to Culver's or Arby's, but A&W would be my top pick if they want a fast food place. I can't say anything for Five Guys since I've never been there, but it sounds like a place we would want too. I also think Schlotzky's would be a good fit as it they a somewhat unique menu compared to what is on campus now and have a lot of food that doesn't clog arteries. Fazoli's would also be a good choice, but I have a feeling they would run out of breadsticks when drunk kids come by if they stayed open late at night.

I would love to see Sobleman's move their location to MU's campus. Greatest burger ever!

It's not that long of a walk!! And with the remodeling and expansion they just completed it wont happen...also having that walk is probably a good thing considering the delicious greasiness of their burgers.

Dave Sobelman was talking a couple years ago about opening just a burger place (no alcohol) in the open space on Wells by Murphs. That place would be jammed after games.

Qdoba... Meh. In the sport of burritos, it's Chipotle's JV.

MUPig · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2008, 12:37:30 AM »

Other than Chili, the best drunk food was the chimichanga from Amigos. Forget Qdoba - bring back Amigos!

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.

5 Guys would be incredible to have on campus (all of them here in DC, and especially those near campuses are always BUSY!) and would be successful year round...something that most of the places on campus really struggle with.

Comparing Louie D's and 5 guys would be similar to comparing Steel Reserve with Bud Light, essentially the same product, but a substantial difference in ingredients, taste, and residual effect on stomach after consumption. And as far as watching the figures of girls on campus, they do offer jr burgers. Granted all of this is meaningless as I don't believe 5 guys has been franchised in Wisconsin yet.

really? I was under the impression that Bud Light and Steel Reserve were both awful tasting inferior products.

Also, there is a 5 guys here in Madison... its always packed, yes I have had it, and it wasn't AMAZING.

The way you guys talk, its like the first time you heard the Beatles or something.

Sobelman's is the best place in town, and I'll take their burgers anyday over 5G.

Oh, and Michaels isn't on campus, and its ghetto as hell and has terrible food and service.

You are the first person I have ever talked to that wasn't blown away by a 5 guys burger...

There is one in Delafield as well.

My typical order: Cheddarburger, fried mushrooms and a strawberry shake. Probably three times a week.

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