Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When most students think of off-campus restaurants, foam forms at the sides of their mouths, and they scratch at the door, whimpering to be let out. Once they calm down, they will tell you that Flagstaff is home to some of the best places around when it comes to food. When you compare it to the experience of eating at the Doob or the Union, going off campus definitely makes sense. The food is very moderately priced, and a dinner for two can be had for just around $25. It’s easy to find a restaurant—no matter what kind of food you're looking for. You want Italian? Bada-bing. You want Thai? You got it. You want food poisoning? Well, the Union might still be open.

Oregano's and Macy's definitely stand out as the places to be for students. Don't miss NiMarco's and its unbeatable pizza, as well as Hiro's for being the affordable, delicious joint for sushi. Because Flagstaff is so dominated by the college scene, many of the restaurants in the area will also have special student menus or discounts. Most of the food action in the area will be just off campus or within walking distance downtown, so it's very accessible. If there's one complaint, it's that very few places are open late for after-hours eating. It's 4 a.m., and you're hungry? Too bad. It's either go to Denny's or gnaw on your thumb.

Off- Campus Dining Options

There are quite a few food choices around the campus. It requires driving, however, it is just down the street. They have the most common eating places surrounding the area, but not a big selection to choose from.

I wish NAU would cover the cost on off campus dining, it would make our transfers worth something...

Cost

Most places around us offer student discounts which makes it easy to eat out once you decide t try something new. Its all within good walking distance and if you wait ten minutes there is a buss that will take you to the main square.

Did You Know?

Tired of eating on campus but don't really have the cash to go off? Wish you could use your on-campus meal plan at your favorite spot in the city? Well, now you can. Kind of. While your NAU meal plan must be used on campus, you and your parents can purchase the off-campus meal plan through www.ocmp.com. Using this company, you select a plan, swipe your card at one of the participating restaurants in the area, and enjoy food that's not from the Union. Though it is not University-affiliated, it can be a great way to beat the humdrum taste of the everyday, on-campus dining life.
