1. The Fix
This is one of my go-to restaurants every time my boyfriend comes up to visit me. Eating burgers here is one of our favorite activities; they melt in your mouth and are cooked to perfection. You can make your own burger with a large list of possible toppings and the service there has always been excellent. The Fix has a very casual atmosphere, which is good for any lunch or dinner date.
2. Peppercorn's Grille & Tavern
This is a great place for a nicer dinner date. It is more on the expensive side, averaging about 19/20 dollars per entree, but the portions are huge. You will always have something to bring home for leftovers for the next day. Also, in my opinion, their "chocolate decadence" dessert is amazing (shoutout to all of my fellow chocolate lovers!). The atmosphere is more intimate and could be either casual or fancy depending on your mood.
This is the perfect place if you are down for some really good pizza. They have a really good selection, but nothing tops the pizza options. The ambiance is very modern and cozy and, overall, is pretty reasonably priced. This is a good lunch or dinner place and is more casual.
This place has a really friendly and fun atmosphere. The burgers are cooked very well here and the other options look really good as well. This restaurant is perfect for a casual lunch date. Also, if you are cutting it close on time, this place is good for a quick bite as the service is usually very quick.
5. Wendy's by College of the Holy Cross
If you and your date cannot find a restaurant that doesn't have a 45 minute wait, there's nothing better than a super quick and casual evening in Wendy's (which I think is the best fast food place in general). Also, the one by Holy Cross is actually very large and has a nice atmosphere to it, not to mention that it is so close to campus you and your date could walk to it as well!
