Erbert and Gerbert's / Jimmy John's $
218 E College / 345 W College @
Two cheap and yummy sub shops with different locations but practically the same menu. Erb 'n' Gerb's has wheat bread and cartoon characters that profess the virtues of friendship and teamwork; Jimmy John's has better chips. You make the choice.
Veg-friendly?: Both offer a veggie sub, but as a vegan sub it gets pretty sparse. Erb 'n' Gerb's have vegetarian soups as well.
Gyros Kabob $
118 Soldiers Square @
This hidden gem is little more than a hole in the wall in Soldiers Square but serves up fabulous gyros and kabobs. The meat is cut fresh when you order and the sandwiches are finished off with a dash of lemon and cilantro. Try the baklava for dessert.
Veg-friendly?: Surprisingly, yes. Try the veggie pita, and nix the tzaziki and feta for an equally tasty vegan version.
Hunan 1 $
220 E College @
Cheap Chinese takeout right next to campus, which is the only reason you'll go there and not somewhere better. Still, it does in a pinch. Admire the lovely slate on the exterior.
Veg-friendly?: Ew. Respect yourself.
Apollon $$
207 N. Appleton @
Greek classics like saganaki, moussaka, dolmades and spanakopita are all here and accompanied by a number of lamb, seafood and beef dishes. The portions are smaller than in most Wisconsin restaurants, but the food is rich enough that it doesn't matter.
Veg-friendly? You can get away with being lacto-ovo here pretty well, but vegans won't find much.
Good Company $$
110 N. Richmond @
People seem to really love this place, which offers traditional American pub favorites with a few Italian offerings and Mexican dishes. Quirky decoration ranges from a rustic bar that features trophy animals and Packers memorabilia, a main dining room that vaguely recollects the French Quarter, and an upstairs library dining room that showcases the owner's book collection. They also feature a Friday fish fry.
