Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus dining can be a treat and is always a welcome break from college food. There are a few gourmet restaurants around Centre’s campus, which is fine, because most eateries cater to a college student’s budget. Students generally have the same favorites—the Guad, Freddie’s, Applebee’s)—but agreeing on one can be difficult. Some students’ favorite dishes are the fajita nachos at the Guad, eggplant parmesan at Freddie’s, and the happy-hour priced chicken quesadillas at Applebee’s. Fast food wise, Danville has many, many options, most of which are open late.

Off-campus dining also provides great opportunities to hang out with friends and is an important part of women’s Greek recruitment. The welcoming of freshmen by Greek women has almost evolved into sport, and as a freshman, getting invited to multiple weekend meet-and-greet dinners is common. For girls interested in rushing, or just meeting upperclass women, these dinners are essential and fun. Recruitment dinners for Greek men tend to be more low-key, more likely is the trip to Lexington’s Hooters for wings. While the selection of off-campus restaurants may not be the best, the fun you’ll have just being off campus for an hour is well worth the trip and is a guaranteed good time. Few students turn down an opportunity to head to the Guad with a group of friends, even if they’re broke.

Not Much

There are enough fast food restaurants but there is not a lot of variety. If you do not have a car, restaurants near campus are few and far between.

Danville Area Food

Danville is a small town with a lot of variety and options for its size. There are many fast food places but the nicer options are limited. Guadalajara is easily the best restaurant in town. There are several locations but its a bit on the pricey side.

Hope You Like Applebee's and O'charley's.

Danville is not exactly a foodie's paradise. That being said, if it's fried, fast, or grilled, it's probably here. You'll have your greasy food desires fulfilled, but dining experiences are a little lackluster. You'll get 10% discounts at many places, and there's rarely anything overpriced...but I wouldn't mind paying for some nicer fare every now and then.

There are some more regional and locally owned restaurants though. Reno's is a steakhouse frequented by those looking to sing some karaoke. There's Sutton's, which masquerades as fine dining, but it's just O'Charley's with more butter and higher prices. Freddie's is a local hole in the wall Italian joint that offers an average setting for average Italian dining.

But Danville does have a trump card, and this prevents it from getting a C, in my opinion. Guadi's. You ask any Centre student what their favorite restaurant is, and they're gonna say Guadi's. It's a Mexican restaurant, well...technically they have three locations with about 5 square miles. Its delicious, affordable, and goes down well with a pitcher of margaritas. (If you're not careful with the margaritas though, it might not come up as well.)

One last note, there's a genuine Mexican restaurant that's located inside a Mexican convenience store called La Hacienda. It's a real gem, and mostly undiscovered.
