With all the restaurant options in Appleton, ****The Lawrentian**** staff decided to review our favorite nearby eateries. Always bring your student ID because many places give LU discounts.Hunan 1 — about $5 to $10
General Tso’s chicken with lo mien and a pork egg roll or crab Rangoon is more than enough for two people or two meals. Hunan is great for an American-Chinese food fix and has many choices, all big servings.
Victoria’s Italian Cuisine — about $10 to $15
With so many sauces — meat, seafood and vegetable varieties — and several types of pasta, a plate will serve two people or provide leftovers. Victoria’s also has the freshest salads and wonderful garlic bread and rolls, which all come with a meal.
Sirocco’s Mediterranean Tapas Bar — about $30 to $50
Perfect for a romantic date or special celebration. Known for flavorful hot and cold tapas, Sirocco’s also has wonderful kabobs, specialty salads, and other main dishes. Make sure you save room for a fabulous dessert.
Erbert and Gerbert’s — about $5
A great health choice, especially late at night, Erb’s and Gerb’s is open until 2 a.m. Their subs are made with a range of toppings, including avocado spread. A similar restaurant, farther down the Ave, is Jimmy John’s.
Katsu-Ya — about $12 to 20
Katsu-Ya offers two dramatically different dining experiences in one restaurant, plus an atmospheric bar that features happy hour sushi specials. Choose to see showy chefs grill up hibachi meals right in front of you or the more serene sushi room, which features a grill-your-own yakiniku barbeque and anime on flat-screen TVs.
Taste of Thai — $6 lunch buffet, about $10 to $15
Featuring a location right next to campus and delicious dine-in or takeout options, Lawrentians love Taste of Thai. With a large selection of curried and sauted entrees, seafood specialties and pasta dishes, you’re almost guaranteed to see another Lawrentian while you’re enjoying your meal.
Brewed Awakenings — about $5 to $7
Brewed is a charming and community-owned caf that is a favorite among Lawrentians looking to “break the bubble” and study, socialize or listen to live music. Featuring espresso that jazz virtuoso Joshua Redmond claims is the best he’s ever had, they also have a huge selection of coffee and drinks, fresh pastries, paninis and fabulous gelato are all sure to please!
Good Company — about $7 to $15
Good Company offers American pub favorites with some Italian and Mexican offerings in a quirky and diverse atmosphere. Choose to dine in their rustic bar complete with Packer memorabilia, the main room that evokes the French Quarter, and an upstairs library that showcases the owner’s book collection.
Sal’s Pizza — about $5
Cheap and open late, Sal’s is notorious among Lawrence students as a great place for a late night snack — as well as for a tasty lunch or dinner. Sal’s offers more than your usual cheese pizza, serving up several varieties of pizza, including macaroni and cheese and barbecue chicken.
Hours: 11 a.m. – 3 a.m., Wed. – Sat.
11 a.m. – 11 p.m., Sun. – Tues.
Chavez Family Restaurant — $5 to $10
With a friendly atmosphere, Chavez provides the perfect location for off-campus meetings. Their continuous breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus can satisfy almost any home-cooked craving.
