re: Your go-to meal when you were a student at AU

Chick fil a, large fry and large drink, use coupon that the university bookstore passed out at the beginning of a semester for free sandwich. Large combo for $3.25 or so, at the time.

I stockpiled those coupons (came in little books with other coupons that I never used). I think we took a whole box of them one time.

ETA: this was the West Mag CFA, the old one.

We also did the strutting duck for trivia a good bit, once it moved downtown to the former Olde Auburn Ale House location. Win a free burger and fries, $1 PBR, good times.

Other places I remember: Hibachi express $4 hibachi chicken bowl, Creole Shack burger po’boy. Tino’s Mexican out on Opelika Road. Whispering Oaks buffet out in Opelika. Buffalo Connection. “College special” at Moe’s (burritos). Little Italy slices & $1.25 PBRs.

Momma G’s was also good when I started college, before the franchises and all that. It was all downhill when they pulled the pool tables out of the original location, and put up TVs inside.
