I'm trying to eat lunch in 2023.

What are the good spots?

You can never go wrong with Cloos. Ba-da is no longer. And Ruckus? I'm travelling through campus on Western often, and I don't see a whole lot of new places around Centennial.

Is Pearl Chinese still around? Haven't been in that shopping center in ages.

Burger King

at BEEEEEEEEEEKAAAAAAAAAY, have it your waaaaay

1/19/2023 11:43:18 AM

that might be the worst Burger King in the Triangle

I don't think I've ever been to Cloo's so I'll try that out

Pearl is around - I get take out there from time to time

I'm sad that China Queen doesn't do a lunch buffet anymore

Papa Lou's on Western. They good burgers and wings, if that's your thing.

If you're extending yourself to Hillsborough, Guasaca, under the new Target, is good.

one must do so...options directly adjacent to Centennial are limited (though I did like that food court thing on centennial. assume that's still there)

Quiznos wouldn't let us BOGO the large prime rib sub that one time

1/19/2023 3:37:02 PM

And by God, if you can drive out to the shopping center behind Rex hospital, at the corner of Lake Boone Trail and Wycliff rd...yea yea no where close, you have to go to Chubby's Tacos and get their chicken tinga.

There used to a good viatnamese (I think) place by Baja 15 years ago but I think it's one of those hibachi express type places now

1/19/2023 5:04:09 PM

bruegger's doesn't miss!!

1/19/2023 5:08:25 PM

^^ the crappy hibachi (akari) was to the left of the Vietnamese place. think the vietnamese place has been closed for a long time...dont think anything is in that space atm

1/19/2023 5:31:34 PM

That was Dalat. They changed ownership which killed the quality. Then Covid killed the rest.

It's on Hillsborough. In the old Burker King. Beside the old Applebee's. And it's the best. (and they have a food truck on Six Forks near the old Kroger).

If you’re looking for some entertainment after your lunch I’d recommend the Blockbuster over at Mission Valley. They have a great DVD selection.

1/20/2023 12:54:12 PM

^near the old Sammys

1/20/2023 1:29:22 PM

centennial also has a few food trucks nestled together on some field behind the oval
