Every day many students like to go off campus for lunch, so I wanted to find out which place is the best and fastest place to go for good food, and still have time to eat. Every day I see students came back from places with a different assortment of fast food bags.

The place that is physically closest to the Bowie campus is Sonic. This place is a drive-in style fast food restaurant. It features a wide variety of food from breakfast to an extensive drink and dessert selection. Food is at a pretty reasonable price, give or take. I would say the main flaw of going to Sonic is probably the long wait time.

The next closest place to Bowie would be Taco Bell. Taco Bell, as the name insists, features a variety of tacos and Mexican-inspired food. It certainly does have a reputation for being a really cheap place to get semi-par food.

On a high school student’s budget, this place is definitely affordable. While yes Taco Bell is extremely cheap, the majority of its menu seems to blend together, and basically tastes almost exactly the same, which I guess could diminish the overall experience.

One of the local favorites, at which so many people go there after football games they even had to hire a private security guard, is Whataburger.

Whataburger is a staple in Texas and features a very extensive menu and a wide variety of sandwiches and burgers. Whataburger is most definitely the most expensive place nearby campus, but overall is a pretty high quality establishment.

Another place that is near campus would be Wendy’s. They are a fast food chain that prides themselves on the fact that their ingredients are always fresh, pushing away from the fact that most places just usually just freeze their product and grill it when it arrives at the restaurant.

Wendy’s has a wide variety of burgers, salads, sandwiches and wraps. The price is pretty middle of the road, and overall I think for what you get, it is pretty worth while.         

Overall, I think we are pretty lucky to attend a school that’s campus is in the close vicinity of a wide variety of places that serve a wide variety of food.

While some may be better than others, with food on the cheaper or expensive side, or make the most of your time, there is no question that there is certainly something for everyone. Whatever you are in the mood for, I am sure you could easily find it.
