Lincoln Land students quickly learn that a full belly is the most essential tool for college success. But there’s more than hunger to satisfy. There are the taste buds, the wallet and the clock.
When the clock is ticking, Subway is right on campus. On the lower level of Menard Hall, this great option can keep your budget in check.
Some students, however, have encountered a lunchtime rush, so they turn to the vending machines. That’s always a time-saving option, but Subway may speed through your order.
There is an application for smartphones (or any computer) that allows you to order your food from Subway online. Go to order.subway.com. It allows you to create an account to make ordering and purchasing easier.
By the time you get down to the restaurant, your food will be ready to eat. Subway promises that your meal will be ready within 15 minutes if you order online.
Subway probably won’t satisfy a student every day. So if you have a little more time, you can find a smorgasbord of dining options along Toronto Road.
Just 1.3 miles from the entrance to Lincoln Land, hungry students will find Antonio’s Pizza, China Express, Cracker Barrel, Head West Subs, the Hen House, Lake Pointe Grill, McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Wendy’s.
If a you have a little extra time, you could eat at one of the best restaurants nearby: Lake Pointe Grill. This amazing eatery offers wonderful food. Plus, it is a great place to sit down, talk, relax and study while your waiting for your food.
“When I would attend classes, I was so hungry. I never knew what to eat,” said former LLCC student Ashley Lambert. “But I just loved that Head West was right down the street, because they have the best sub sandwiches around town.”
Many students echo Lambert’s sentiments about Head West, but others recommend other fare.
“I would have to say that Wendy’s is a very good place to eat,” one current LLCC student said. “If you want some meal that is fast and tastes really good, then go to Wendy’s.”
“I would recommend new … students to go eat at Taco Bell.” said LLCC student Kay Marie. “Who doesn’t like tacos? Plus, it’s a fast meal, and when a student is rushing in between classes, it’s a lifesaver. It really is the best way to go.”
Assure your academic success with a good meal at a reasonable price from a nearby site.
As Marie said, “Class is so much better when you have a taco in your left hand and a Baja Blast Mountain Dew in your right.”
