If you go to Radford University, then you know the struggle of trying to find something good to eat on campus. The best thing we have to offer is Chick-fil-a, but not even that is open past midnight on Friday's. As for the other places on campus, the most popular are ABP, Wendy's, and the sushi place that no one knows the name of. Most of us can agree that Dalton's food is nasty, am I right? When you go to other campuses such a Virginia Tech and JMU, they have a plethora of places to eat. Why can't Radford be like that? Sure, we're a small school, but we deserve good food too. On the bright side, we are getting a Moes, but here are eight food places we need to have on campus.
1. Chipotle
I bet you knew that was coming. That's probably one of the number one answers I get when I ask students what they want on campus.
2. Qdoba
If you aren't going to give us Chipotle, at least give us a Qdoba. It's almost the same thing as Chipotle, but it's certainly up there when it comes to taste. If you haven't had it, try it.
3. Cava
Do I need to say more?
4. Tropical Smoothie
VT just got one, why not us?
5. Wawa
Maybe that's a stretch to get on campus, but Wawa is delicious.
6. Five Guys
Have you realized that there are no places that have burgers on campus? Only the West Coast have In-n-Out, so why not get a Five Guys? It's the next best thing.
7. Panera
Okay, we have ABP, but that's really only a knockoff Panera. We want the real thing!
8. Manhattan Bagel
If you've never had this, well then I am truly sorry.
9. Something better than Dalton
Dalton's food is not good. I'm not sure how else to put it. The food tastes like cardboard (no offense).
10. Steak N Shake
This one isn't as well known as the others, but try it and I promise you won't regret it.
11. IHOP
This is more of a sit-down restaurant, but why does it seem like there are no places to get pancakes on or around campus? Now that Brewin Around is gone, I can't get breakfast delivered to my door anymore.
There are so many options, so come on now Radford, don't let us down. Also, can we just get rid of Dalton completely? Also, what's with Dalton to go? Does anyone even go there? The only time I look forward to Dalton is when it' the weekend and they have french toast sticks and biscuits with gravy. Also, I need to give credit to the omelets (shoutout to the person who makes them). Those are so good. Other than that, Radford's dining services suck. As a Radford student, this disappoints me. And yes, I'm getting upset about food. That's when you know it's serious.
