What is wrong with Blaze? This is drunk food we are talking about, not Frank Pepe's pizza.
Blaze, for what it is, is really not bad. I don't know what you're talking about.

I think your state of Connecticut education has failed you if you don't know the correct usage of "than" vs. "then".

Lol full disclosure, I was drunk when I wrote this
 
Am I the only one who thought Wally's was a lukewarm foil bag of salty, soggy chicken scraps? How can you guys even consider that a top option at UConn?

On a side note, co soldering the student population at UConn, the food selections really are limited. How has no one tried to pry the insane monopoly Wings and Sgt/DP have on campus away from them?

As for DP Dough vs Sgt Peps debate. Sgt Pep's had better calzones, while DP Dough's delivery boys were known to make special "deliveries" in your order bags if you used the right phrases. So it's DP Dough for me.

Bidwell Tavern kitchen is bad... friends worked there and said drink there but do not eat the food.

Things might have changed but back in the 90/ their wings were great... ah the generational gap!
 
Bidwell has gone dramatically downhill the last few years. I think new chef/owner? Other posters here have the details.

No wings are fine.. the problem was that the kitchen was a health trap

I've always thought you could make a lot of money in Storrs if you opened a cheap Chinese place that delievered

there is a place that delivers, but only to campus, and only until like 9 or 10.

Q ring pizza from Teds.
Expand ...
It's not good pizza, but it's great drunk food. That and peps calzones were my favorites after nickel.

DP Dough was really good my freshman year but then it went downhill

Cheeseburger sub from Ted's.

There's no other acceptable answer.

Six patties! No weekend meal plan in the late eighties, I would live off of a Ted's cheeseburger sub and quarts at Ted's on weekends.

Really wish I had known that during my time there

it wasnt that good so you didn't miss anything.

The place by Big Y wasn't bad but they didn't deliver
 
There's a weird business vacuum around the entirety of Storrs/Mansfield. Wouldn't surprise me to hear it's due to the old stubborn locals, they tried to stop half a dozen projects that popped up during my time there.
 
Going back a ways, but it was Italian Gardens in Willi.

One night we figured out that pitchers only held 11 glasses of beer and we could order 12 glasses for the same price. So we always ordered by the glass after that. That saved a quarter for the jukebox.

The food truck across from the jungle (really ahead of its time). I believe it was originally Irma's then changed to Food for Thought. Turkey grinder.
Expand ...

Food for Thought! I certainly remember that food truck. Back in the late 70's into the 80's there were several food trucks around campus that would catch the lunch crowd. Being a Jungle resident (New London Hall, or Ne Ondo Ha as we called it on account of missing letters) at the time, Food For Thought was a fairly regular weekend dinner spot for me. Back in those days, Ted's was a pretty good weekend breakfast spot as well.
 
When is a Junior Ray Croc going to open a Garden Catering franchise in Storrs? Potato Cones would be world famous. Lol

Lol funny story about that one... There is a rip-off called Wally's that got sued by garden catering for having basically the same menu

I was there from 98-02...

Peps (I'd argue their Calzone's were better than DPs)
Wings Over Storrs
DP Dough
Stolen grilled cheese's from South
Domino's
Wing's Express
Expand ...

their calzones are still better than DP Dough. Their buffaque wings are also really good. Probably the best wings on campus.

Garden Catering has been getting ripped off for years by Chicken Joe's too. Was Wally's the place in Storrs run by the former GC employee that they took to court?

I don't think its that weird. Its an unpopulated town in an unpopulated area and between the summer and winter breaks a majority of students are gone for 4-5 months every year. I can't imagine its easy to start a business there.
 
I just visited campus with my wife and kid and we stopped by Insomnia Cookies.... Holy shuttleworth those things are good. I would have easily gained a zillion pounds ordering warm cookies every night.
