[BobPSU92]

Have you been in the Champs Pool Room - Lou's Stick Room

Champs Sports Grill | Lou's Stickroom

It is pretty nice.

That‘s fine if you want an A$$. BEATING. in the parking lot.

 

[Nitt1300]

It used to be the Char-Pit, too.

cured many a hangover at the Char Pit

Village Inn Pizza w/ draft beer and a basement with 6 pool tables is needed more though.

Village Inn serves buffet pizza.....people sneeze and cough over the pizzas. Kids stick their fingers in the pizzas and pick off their favorite toppings

Are you some kind of peasant who can't afford good quality pizza?

The VIP on North Atherton was never a buffet. It was a sit down, like Pizza Hut. The gem was the basement, which had a large bar and game room w/ pool tables and Widdy dart boards. Downstairs was a different crowd. Very Pennsyltucky.

I created the original Friday jukebox on Tom's old board based on songs I had heard or played on the Skeller and VIP juke boxes.

Dear God no! I’m fat enough!

CC Peppers on College Avenue was my favorite. I've heard its back.

That and Stage Door Deli.

 

[MtNittany]

Back in my day, I believe that was Pedro’s Mexican restaurant.

Si` Si`

What was the place where you could get Burrito's as big as your head? Also, what happen to Hi Way Pizza on College ?

I loved Stage Door Deli.

Will they serve kangaroo burgers?

 

[MtNittany]

When I was a first term Freshman in the summer of 81 there was a sub delivery place that would put an 8 oz. can of Rolling Rock in the bag w/ each sub so you would order from them again. It worked.

I wish I could remember the name of the biz. They weren't around long.

La Bamba Burritos

When I was a freshman in the dorms, my go-to from Bubba’s Breakaway was a large Italian sub, pierogies (with butter), and a chocolate chip cookie (delivered warm).

Be right back.

Midnight Madness, $1 tacos and burritos or something.

The owner of the new diner couldn’t keep a coffee shop going in Altoona.

The late night Taco's or Susie Wong egg rolls were a must.

 

[CyphaPSU]

Bring back Eat'n Park.

Actually, change it's name to Park 'n Eat because the other way's order of actions sounds a little dangerous.

You went to heavy on the half and half!

Food was decent…service was friendly but SLOW!

Yeh, but so were some of the customers!

Crazy quasi - Baby's story for you all.... I had a former roommate who just spent so much time partying the first three weeks of school that he knew he could not make it up and decided to withdraw for the semester. He took his tuition refund percentage (that his parents had paid themselves in full) and began to work at Babys so that he could still live in the apartment and pretend to be a college student to his parents. Right before Thanksgiving break he suddenly quit at Babys and said he was going to go visit some HS friends for a few days before heading home to see family. He had left a couple weekends prior to go visit the same friends so it was nothing unusual.

When the rest of us in the apartment came back Saturday for the MSU game, we got a call from Baby's and the SCPD. They were questioning all of us regarding counterfeit money that had been found in the area. Seems his friends from HS made some fake 20's when he visited in October and he was spending them in various SC area shops. I guess he was exchanging fakes for real ones in the till there and then also paying for stuff at McClanahans and other places in cash.

We had no idea about any of it but the kid never came back after break. SCPD called a few other times just to check in for him but the kid vanishedfor at least a couple years. We eventually saw him on social media, so I guess he didnt serve much time if any.

Finance major?

You sure ? We went there all the time and it was all you can eat pizza. Maybe it was only one night a week. But we got our moneys worth. This was 1983

I remember the Village having all you can eat pizza at least one night a week in the early 90s.

Stoney's Posthouse Tavern did free pizza on Friday afternoons in the late 90s. The funny part is they would load it up with red pepper flakes, so it was hot as hell and forced you to buy more beer to cool off your mouth.

 

[BobPSU92]

I remember Pizza Hut in Champaign, IL having a cheap pizza lunch buffet when I was in graduate school in the mid-‘90s. It was greasy and average, at best, but it was cheap. A bunch of us frequented the Old Country Buffet in town too. Trough, cheap.

 

[razpsu]

Brewery had 5 dollar beer and pizza night. All you can eat and drink. I think. Or was it all you can eat pizza only for 5 bucks. Tuesday nights 1980’s

If you can't handle the heat, buy a beer!

Even Blackledge's Taste of the Town couldn't help it. Had to be some bad ownership decisions.

and in the mid 80's Zenos had a spaghetti night. It was only a couple bucks, I think it might have been Thursday nights.

 

[SouthHalls410]

College Avenue CC Peppers- California Cheesesteak and Bay Fries
We also LOVED Bubba Subs and PhD Pizza. And I think the jingle for PEnn State Sub shops yes we love you…is still ringing in my ears….

 

[CVLion]

Will they have a sign that says “Eat & Get Out?”

 

[CVLion]

Burritos as big as your head.

That slogan gives me such flashbacks!

A fraternity brother of mine used to poke fun at me saying I had a huge noggin… and that I would eat extremely well if I walked into La Bamba. LOL
