As the new school year begins to start, more and more students come rolling onto campus without any knowledge of Fayetteville. I learned a lot my freshman year. One of the most important things was the best places to eat here. Each of these places is amazing for different reasons. Whether it be fast food or a fancy restaurant, my year has come to let me try them all. Here are my top five places to eat in Fay-Town.

1. Burton’s Comfort Creamery

I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, but when it comes to Burton’s I’m always down. This food truck is some of the best ice cream you’ll ever have. My personal favorite is the “Nutellagram,” because who doesn’t love Nutella and gram crackers? Plus it’s right on Dickson and next to my next favorite place to eat.

2. Hammon Tree’s

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, in my bio you’ll see that I clearly love grilled cheese. So a whole restaurant dedicated to different kinds of grilled cheese is basically what I call heaven. I always get the “Jack to the Future”, because it’s one of the cheesiest sandwiches there. I mean go hard or go home, am I right?

3. Chuy’s

So this one is actually about twenty minutes North of Fayetteville, but the drive is absolutely worth it. The homemade tortillas might actually be the love of my life. This tex-mex has the key to my heart, because whether you call it queso or cheese dip, it’s damn good at Chuy’s.

4. Whataburger

If you’re from Texas this isn’t a really big deal, but I hadn’t even heard of one until last year. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without the honey butter chicken. When three AM rolls around, nothing makes my heart happier than their fries and a HBCB.

5. Hugo’s

This sandwich place is right in the heart of Fayetteville. It’s such a convent location, and the underground atmosphere is so unique. The fries are to die for. Their burger will never leave you hungry.
