<p>Any restaurant recommendation near the college for breakfast or dinner?</p>
<p>In the immediate vacinity of the school, most of the eateries are typical chain restaurants…Outback, Longhorn, ect. Mexican is pretty good, LaFiesa near the Burlington Mall.</p>
<p>If you want more “upscale” dining, I’d suggest heading to either Chapel Hill (40 minutes) or Greensboro (1/2 hour) from school. We used to live in Greensboro - some very nice restaurants are The Green Valley Grille (in the O’Henry Hotel), Saffron (delicious Indian), Casaldi’s Cafe (very good non-chain Italian owned by a really sweet lady). You can PM me and I’ll ask my son who’s at Elon. Things have changed quite a bit and he may know of others right near the school. But, our favorite is in Durham near Duke called Chamas (a Brazilian steakhouse) $$$ for dinner but not so bad for lunch.</p>
<p>Breakfast:
Can’t really go wrong with IHOP 
Only place I would ever go.</p>
<p>Dinner:
Maria’s Cafe - Italian, family owned
B Christopher’s Bistro - American upscale
Red Bull - American, sit down
Vesuvio’s - Italian, sit down/take out - best pizza in town IMO. Other stuff is good too.
Sidetracks - American, right next to campus
I have friends that work at the first three and they are excellent.</p>
<p>Red Bowl is a nice Japanese and Chinese restaurant at Alamance Crossing. There’s also a Buffalo Wild Wings right there too.</p>
<p>Dinner:
Sal’s (Italian) — $$
Chop House — $$$</p>
