Jefferson's serves up cheap eats
By Amanda Kaschube and Amber Steuver Kansan food critics
Let's face it. After the third week of classes, most of your money has been spent on books, spiral notebooks and calls home to mom.
You're pinched for cash, but the A&W burger-and-fry combo isn't exactly what you had in mind for your Friday night date.
Enter Massachusetts Street's newest eatery.
Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St., is a college student's dining dream come true. By combining $1.40 drafts, a bizarre mix of cheap food options — burgers, wings and seafood — and a sporty atmosphere, Jefferson's provides an alternative to the Iowa Street franchise funk.
Owners Jeff and Rachel Webb knew what they were doing when they opened the original Jefferson's in the Deep South. Their second creation opened in Lawrence in June, serving home-cooked Southern cuisine.
Jefferson's prides itself on three main dishes: outstanding burgers, ovstrs and wings.
large portions and leave your mouth watering for more. The wings fit right into Jefferson's cheap theme too — 10 pieces for $4.25, 20 for $7.95 and for only $16.50.
While the burger tastes like any other run-of-the-mill patty, the wings — available in mild, medium, hot or turbo — come in
Jefferson's seafood options are a pleasant surprise to landlocked Kansans. Served in five unique styles, the oysters are amazingly cheap and fresh from the Gulf of Mexico. They're tasty — if you can get your hands on them. Fresh shipments come in weekly, but lateweek customers may find them hard to come by. A half-dozen of the seafood treats cost less than $4, while a dozen will only set you back $7.
But there are other options to satisfy your seafood cravings. Shrimp, crawfish, catfish baskets and crab legs are sure to shiver your timbers.
The menu also includes traditional sandwiches, salads, platters and a peanut burtie pie to

die for.
Jefferson's offers patrons cheap beer and large sodas for 93 cents. Mugs of beer are $1.14, and longnecks are only $1.75 on Monday nights. Other drink specials include $3 Bloody Marys on Tuesdaydays and $1 draws and $4.50 pitchers on Thursdays.
Hanging out at a restaurant may not be the hip thing to do on a Thursday night, but the sporty atmosphere at Jefferson's provides the perfect location for a pub crawl or place to watch your favorite baseball team. With several televisions placed in perfect viewing positions, you won't miss any of Sammy Sosa's home runs.
Massachusetts Street's newest bar and grill is a perfect choice for a Friday night date or watching a game with friends. And on a tight budget, you'll still have cash left to call mom and tell her all about it.
