Time-Out Restaurant

A popular student eatery, this is a greasy fast food place noted for its delicious chicken cheddar biscuit. The rest of the food is rather "meh", but the biscuits are great. It's open all the time, so it's a popular stop for students after drinks.

Linda's
A bar with a relaxed atmosphere, a good selection of beers on tap, and cheap prices, although the real attraction here is the bar food, which includes fried okra and sweet potato tater tots.

Zog's
Cozy place with a good beer selection and an excellent place to play pool. The decor is rather eclectic and there's also board games, darts, and a craft box.

Sutton's
A classic lunch counter at the back of a pharmacy that has been on Franklin Street for ages, as evidenced by the photos on the walls. Serves great burgers.

Carolina Coffee Shop
Despite the name, this place is not a coffee shop, but a small restaurant/bar that has been a student hangout on Franklin Street longer than anyone can remember. Decent lunch/brunch offerings by day and a fairly calm, casual bar by night.
