Taking my youngest on a UT tour tomorrow/friday. I had some ideas already where I wanted to take her to eat, but she wants to keep things near campus to keep the campus “vibe” going. Any suggestions? 

I have no idea what’s good in proximity to the 40 acres. 

Maybe Hopfields. A little north of campus. Or grab a burger at Crown & Anchor or Dirty’s if you want something more old school UT.

Arturo’s is a great breakfast spot. Downtown but just a couple blocks south of campus.

If y’all like Chinese, Chef Hong is a really tasty dumpling/noodle food truck off W 24th. 

Counter Cafe for breakfast. Old Conan's location on 29th.

I was going to mention Hopfields for dinner.  I don't know if it has a "campus vibe," but it's very good.

Errybody always overlooks The Tavern.  Free parking in the lot across 12th street is a huge draw for me.  And must I say it -- Texas Chili Parlor!

The answer is Crown & Anchor. Awesome burgers and atmosphere. Legendary spot for students. Play a game of darts or pool with her while y’all are there.

look up UT students on tiktok

you're asking a bunch of old guys here, they have no clue were a young female eats lunch / breakfast

We took my son and his roommate there for lunch his first year right before we said our goodbyes.  I kept mentioning the "air conditioned" benefits to him.  He's gone back on his own several times. Need to take him to Chili Parlor next time I visit.

Mongers is on Guadalupe and has fantastic seafood. Red River Cafe for breakfast would be good too.

The Tavern rules. Back in the day, they were one of the few bars with NBA League Pass. We watched a ton of Rockets games there.

Went to the tavern on NYE day to watch some football. Food was still pretty good and free parking is indeed a huge perk.

When it’s on the menu and you don’t mind farting all night, the hamburger steak with mushroom gravy is quite tasty.

I think most posters here fart all night, so it's not an issue.

Kerbey Lane on the Drag.

This is only good for 4am when you’re on mushrooms, drunk,  and high. At least one of those anyway.
