With the exception of the average fast food place, (Subway, Cookout, Wendy's, etc.) where is it possible to have a somewhat substantial meal for $5?

1/23/2010 6:06:00 PM

nowhere

1/23/2010 6:09:13 PM

Chinese?

1/23/2010 6:13:07 PM

yeah you're gonna be pretty hard pressed to find decent food for $5

1/23/2010 6:15:39 PM

Fountain or Clark

1/23/2010 6:16:32 PM

noodles & company is 5-something

that armadillo grill can be 5-something if you just get something basic

golden dragon (not to be underestimated)

1/23/2010 6:23:18 PM

I'll give you a knuckle sandwich for $5.

1/23/2010 6:24:13 PM

Bowling alley restaurant.

1/23/2010 6:24:57 PM

golden dragon is pretty good one, but I always get instant, raging diarrhea.

P.S. - I used to enjoy linguini at Pizzamerica ... but I don't remember what it cost.

i used to get a veggie taco and a side of guac and chips for like $5.50.

1/23/2010 7:03:41 PM

that new place that opened where Marrakesh Cafe was has a decent special for <$5

And melvin's has food that's worth what you pay for it.

When I was at State you could go to Golden Dragon and get a big ass plate of sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and a cup of water for $3.13. That was like gold for a poor college student.

1/23/2010 7:11:57 PM

Bean-fucking-sprout.

WTF is this Golden Dragon bullshit?

1/23/2010 7:12:52 PM

I haven't been to campus in a while, is Golden China closed down?

1/23/2010 7:19:34 PM

golden dragon sucks ass.

I like Melvins when I'm around campus especially at lunch when they're cooking to order

Amore's is good and don't forget Chic Fil A is in the atrium

FUCK THAT. It's $7.50 to eat at the dining hall

1/23/2010 7:46:09 PM

7.50 seriously?

what did it used to be

1/23/2010 7:47:59 PM

K&W

1/23/2010 7:52:28 PM

$7.50 for all you can eat buffet.... not too bad, IMHO. And Clark was awesome when I lived on campus - the food was great and the staff were very friendly.

[Edited on January 23, 2010 at 7:53 PM. Reason : .]

1/23/2010 7:53:09 PM

it's all you can eat but not exactly a gourmet meal. It's a campus dining hall. How about they try to have something that caters to a college student's budget?

1/23/2010 7:54:55 PM

i'm getting old

dining hall used to be 5

what fucking college students are looking for $7.50 gourmet buffet? it's good food, with a good selection.

1/23/2010 7:55:46 PM

Taco Bell.

2 chicken burritos, and you are done!

1/23/2010 7:57:23 PM

What gourmet food is on a buffet for that matter?

Do gourmet chefs regularly put food under a heat lamp for 45 minutes before serving it?

1/23/2010 7:57:28 PM

5 of those 89 cent burritos taco bell is pushing.

1/23/2010 8:06:42 PM

^^^^i can't name 10 items in all of ncstate dining hall history that i would consider to be good or great.

1/23/2010 8:09:29 PM

$6 for UT's cafeteria

1/23/2010 8:10:25 PM

is the bojangles still on fire?

1/23/2010 8:16:47 PM

Pizzamerica is good if you enjoy being robbed while you wait for your diarrhea.

1/23/2010 8:19:52 PM

the grocery store. If you're especially lazy you can get something from the freezer section.

I ate at Fountain tonight, and this is after their supposed "face lift" that has been disappointing.

ENTREES

* Bacon Wrapped Scallops - Wouldn't try this time--they're literally skate (they HAVE to be, taste nothing like even the worst scallops) in BBQ sauce and nasty bacon. Instant appetite suppressant).
* Burgers - Meh, it's a frozen patty with cheese, not much to say.
* Outlaw ChickenTrans Fat Free - I hope you like ranch, cheese, and mushrooms.
* Shepherd's Pie - They scraped the potatoes off before serving when I was there... what?

VEGETARIAN/VEGAN

* Bowtie Pasta w/ BeansTrans Fat FreeVegan -Not beans, was asparagus. Tasted like salt and vegetable broth.
* Cheese Stuffed Shells - Removed before 6:30.
* Santa Fe BurgerWolf ApprovedTrans Fat Free - Nothing makes a veggie burger more appetizing than congealed... stuff, and a heat-lamp.

Seriously though, Golden Dragon is great and I can't understand the haters here. The two times I've been to Beansprout not only was it more expensive, it didn't taste as good (in the exception of maybe the dumplings) and didn't have red chili paste, which is something I love about Golden Dragon. China Pearl on Avent Ferry isn't bad either, but not so "close".
