Where to Eat When Visiting Campus

Where to Eat When Visiting Campus Student tested, family approved! These restaurants  are campus favorites for students. Ranging from sit downs to fast food, the University of Illinois has it all. Seven Saints Located at  32 E Chester Street in Champaign, this sit down restaurant  by day and bar by night is incredible. It features crazy sliders, such as the Chicago Style Hot Dog Slider and has combos to mix and match. I had the BLT, and it was to die for. It also offers vegetarian options such as a hummus plate, grilled cheese, or fish tacos (for you pescaterians). Offering an extensive drink menu, as well, it will impress your whole family.

My dads personal favorite is the Cuban Sandwich, and my mothers is the Berries and Goat Cheese Salad. Lunch combos are offered, and the stone oven pizzas are delicous. Again, Destihl is sure to have something for even the pickiest of eaters.

With a modern vibe on sushi, I have yet to hear a single bad thing about KoFusion. Located in both Champaign and Urbana, it is easy to find a KoFusion no matter where your tour ends. The best part? There is a dollar sushi portion of the menu to allow customers to taste a variety of rolls. View this post on Instagram Do you want to try our Flaming Phoenix? How about our Fusion Maki? Or our Rainbow Roll? The best way to spend your weekend is with #sushi! Head on down to #KoFusion today! #nightout #greatfood #drinks A post shared by Ko Fusion Downtown Champaign (@ko_fusion) on Oct 29, 2015 at 3:02pm PDT Which Wich Again, this one made the list for my dad. Which Wich changed the sandwich game. When entering the restaurant, the customer grabs a paper bag from a protein section: turkey, pork, egg, veggie, etc.  Then, on their bag, they use a Sharpie to mark what ingredients they want, what bread type, how they want is cookedâ€"basically, any modification they want. Why is this technique so successful? It leads to quick and accurate service.

All of their recipes are made from scratch and are very tasty. If you dont believe me, just look at their ratings: 4.7 stars on Facebook Review, #5 restaurant in Champaign on Tripadvisor, and 4.5 stars on Yelp.

My personal favroite is the Veggie Wrap with a side of Caesar dressing. Firehaus offers an energetic atmosphere and a true campus experience for all.

Wingin Out is a small restaraunt with minmal seating, but the wings are out of this world. A campus favorite for late night dining, many students would consider this their go to. They also serve milkshakes and sides. I would reccomend the Mac and Cheese Bites. View this post on Instagram Forget #TacoTuesday everyones talking about #WinginOutWednesday ??
