Food Options

• Sandwich Factory
  • Good: Burgers, Tour of Italy sandwich, Fried Pineapple and Onion Ring Burger.
    • The inside out burger was alright, but I'd probably get something different next time.
    • Chocolate covered bacon
  • Bad: The Philly Cheesesteak is reportedly awful
    • "Awful" might be a little melodramatic. I'd go with "weird." Hfuller (talk) 22:04, 9 November 2015 (CST)
• Deezie's Hot Chicken
  • Jeff 2015: Hot was too hot, Cajun and Hot together was about right.
  • Jeff 2016: Feels like they changed their flavor levels. Hot and Cajun mixed together was not spicey enough this year. Also liz got food poisoning, hope that's just a fluke.
  • Jeff 2017: Medium was not hot enough. Would go Cajun, or maybe Cajun mixed with Hot. Extra pickles is a good idea.
    • We sent a small group to bring back the order this time and it worked out really well.
• Green Dragon Inn, middle earth themed restaurant.
  • Would need to call to confirm, but this place has a room in the back that could be used for large groups. If that room is not available, I would not dine here with a group larger than 6.
  • Very good sandwiches and food. Can recommend Brie and Apple sandwich, and the Reuben.
  • Had good selection of meads to drink.
• O'Possums. Irish gastropub about 15 minutes from hotel. Good Mac and Cheese \ Shells and Cheese made with gouda, or blue cheese. Shepard's pie was good, but needed salt. Corned beef was good. Fried pickle spears are large, and use a funnel cake like batter. To-go orders available.
• Chicago Pizza, almost walking distance from the hotel.
• Chick-fil-a, walking distance, same side of highway 96 as the hotel
• Panera, almost walking distance, other side of highway 96
• Wasabi Japanese Steak House, The only hibachi option in the area. Samurai Cuisine is closer, but we don't go there.

Drinkin

• Don't forget to bring a good large insulated mug (Yeti or similar)
• Just a traffic light or two down the road is a very large Liqour Store, "Total Beverage"
• A Wal-Mart is nearby for mixers.
