One of my favorite places to grub when I was in Lincoln was/is Ali Babba Gyros.

 

It's unfortunately still there.   

 

By the way, those stiletto heel boots in your profile picture look like the perfect footwear for walking to that fridge in the background, grabbing three Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers, pouring them all into a different, empty stilleto heel boot, and pounding them as fast as possible.

N Zone...I have never really been a fan.

 

Tavern on the Square is cool, sort of a hidden spot.

 

Duffy's is always fun!

Lol I have NO idea how I managed that. 

 

I live out of state and love a cheese runza with frings whenever I'm back!

Wife had that Akron week, I got the lead belly I think it was called. It was a burger with a cinnamon roll for a bun covered in chili etc. Holy crap was it good 

That's a good option too, just bring the tums!

It's true! Runza is ok at the restaurants, but much better at the stadium. Val's borderline bad from the restaurants. The dough is never cooked all the way through.

I've been eating Val's for 50+ years and it's always been that way.

Vals has some great ranch

Nebraskans will tell you to try Runza and Valentinos... maybe even amigos.

 

My advice, is dont try Valentionos. If you want pizza in the stadium then go for it. Runza isnt my style but I do think its worth trying it at some point but not maybe as a meal just to try it.

 

I just dont think Valentinos is very good.

 

Stay away from Amigos.

 

The bars on O-street are a bit more "college" age. The bars in the haymarket tend to be for a more mature crowd but on gameday there will be a healthy mix of both all over.

 

Regardless of where you go people will be great. You will have many drinks bought for you. Wear your Troy apparel with pride.

Anybody go to Barrymore's any more?  I always loved going to that place.  How about the Zoo Bar?

[jager]

The Valentinos on Holdrege has always been good to me.

I never really stop in either of those places on gameday.  

 

If I am hitting up bars these will be the ones...

 

Barry's

The Bar

The Rail

Duffy's

Sandy's

Brothers

Cliffs

Main St Pub (I think that is the name, they have sweet specials)

 

I like O street more than the Railyard on game day...I think it just brings back some good memories.

Should we exile this man from the State forever?

 

 

The Original Valentino's. /sigh

Well, I live in Minnesota. And not allowing me back means I dont have to see my in-laws.... SO...


Listen. Anyone who isnt a born/bred Nebraskan tends to be a bit more negative on Valentinos. Its just not good pizza. Honestly its kind of hot garbage.

 

 

I think Runza is VASTLY overrated but I also am not a big fan of what a Runza is in general so I can understand why some like it but most non-nebraskans dont really seem all that impressed by it from people I have talked to.

thats rather insulting to hot garbage. val's is the worst pizza i have had. yes, that means chuck e cheese is better.

 

as for runzas, most runza employees will tell you it is the worst item on the menu.

Also, don't accept Fishbowls from random dudes. That's how you fall asleep in the fountain on campus at 3 in the morning. 

 

I'm guessing there is a personal story behind this comment?

I live in Colorado and I can drive to Loveland (1.5 hours one way) to get a Runza. I don't do that often because as a diabetic I'm only supposed to have 30-45 grams of carbs per meal and 1 cheese Runza is 69 grams. The last time we went I ate two cheese Runzas and a large fry, 198 grams of carbs... It was so good, but I paid the price in guilt.

Of course Oklahoma is too far way for a Runza store HOWEVER, I understand the chef at the Wyndham hotel where we have our watch parties was given some Runza and is perfecting the creation of the Runza  via reverse engineering  for our watch parties. --- it will be sooooo good.  

Actually the last real Runza runza that I had was in Loveland at the place Husker_Bohunk mentioned above while we were visiting Estes Park.
