I'm a future Aggie and just wanted to get some local recommendations. While I explored a few food spots during my campus visit, I'm looking for your hidden gems. What're the most lowkey lunch restaurants in College Station where students like to relax and maybe study?
Although not a resident of College Station myself, chatting with Aggies and checking out online reviews has presented some popular spots that might cater to your preferences. Do keep in mind that the enjoyment of a restaurant can depend on personal taste, and what one person finds delightful can be different for another.
Firstly, you might consider "Fuego Tortilla Grill." Despite its reputation for great tacos, which you can customize to your liking, its space and free Wi-Fi have also made it a beloved spot for some students to chill and study. It's got a certain ambiance which might offer you the focus required to hit the books.
Another place you might fancy is "Sweet Eugene's." It's a coffee joint but most Aggies go for more than just the coffee. With a comfy interior and some say interesting music selections, it's got a unique vibe that could be a break from the usual study locations.
"Blackwater Draw Brewery" is another well-mentioned name. Though the name suggests it's primarily a Brewery, it also serves excellent meals. People talk highly of their burgers and brisket quesadillas. It's a hybrid place where Aggies grab their grub or pints and also sneak in some study time.
Lastly, "Shiraz Shish Kabob" is a eatery that probably qualifies as a 'hidden gem'. It's a smaller, less-known Mediterranean place that serves delicious and moderately-priced kebabs. Again, it's calm enough for a study session.
Remember to double-check the opening hours and paths towards these places from your dorm or apartment. Additionally, consider checking if they offer student discounts or deals. Enjoy your explorations and hearty meals!
