Finding a place to eat off campus can often times be a difficult decision. There are so many places to choose from it can often be hard to decide on a place to go. Choosing between a sit-down place or a restaurant, and then deciding what type of food can be difficult too.

Most students that live on campus at Quincy University eat in the cafeteria every day. If you are looking to explore some new restaurants, look no further these QU students will help you out.

Junior Quincy University student Jamaurie Coakley talks about his favorite place to eat off-campus.

“Qdoba is my favorite place to eat off-campus. It’s a Mexican chain food place I always get the burrito bowl when I go. I like it because you can sit down and eat and enjoy your self or if you’re in a hurry you can get it to go,” Coakley said.

“They have a lot of stuff that you can choose from. I never get sick of eating there, if you start to get sick of it you can just change up your order. The people that work there are always nice too, I would definitely recommend it if you haven’t tried it,” Coakley said.

Qdoba is a great place to eat if you are in a hurry or if you are looking to sit down, they provide a lot of different varieties of food for their customers to enjoy.

If you’re looking for a sit-down pizza place Quincy University Junior Kori Kay Obert has a recommendation for you.

Pappos Pizza also has live music on select nights. It is a great place to go if you are looking for live music and good food.

“Brisket, pulled pork, and the ribs; it is all good.
