Lawrence restaurants provide good eats for hungry students
From upscale dining to rowdy sports bars, Lawrence eateries provide lots of opportunities to treat your taste buds.

One of the best ways Lawrence shows off its charm and its character is in its restaurants. From The Wheel down the hill from campus, to the sports bars on Massachusetts Street, Lawrence provides a variety of great places to grab a bite to eat, get a drink and bask in the congeniality of this mid-western college town.
No one will go through four years at the University and make to every restaurant in town, but if nothing else do not miss Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St.
Jefferson's has great wings, chicken fingers and burgers. With an "everybody knows your name" environment and a great location, Jefferson's is the fundamental college sports bar. And don't forget to bring markers because at Jefferson's, patrons can decorate a dollar any way they want, and have it added to collage of dollar bills that covers the walls.
"Jefferson's is the perfect college town restaurant and bar," Bob Sherrets, Lincoln, Neb., senior, said. "Its location and school spirit make it perfect for hanging out and enjoying college."
Other great spots in the Jefferson's category, which should not be missed, are The Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin
