I really like Saigon to Bankok in Savoy right next to Friar Tuck's.

Kind of a broad category.....but the best burgers (and lots of other things) in the greater metro area are at Farren's, tucked back in the shadow of the new parking garage at 308 N. Randolph, around the corner and in back of Nitaya Thai at Church & Randolph. Kinda hidden, but a large clientele, with good reason.

Farren's is solid for salads. I really like Radio Maria for a classier night.

For cheap and good, check out giovanni's on green st.

Dos reales is probably the best mexican food in CU.

Burger = Farren's
Sushi = Kofusion
Italian = Timpone's
Fine Dining = Bacaro
Breakfast = Original Pancake House or Carmon's
BBQ = Hickory River or Black Dog
Mexican = Dos Reales
Thai = Siam Terrace

Crane Alley is a dump! It used to be great, now it's a s***hole.

+1! Ferrens is great!

On the Timpone's bandwagon too, from back in the Jolly Roger days, if you've been around you know!

I enjoy KoFusion and Radio Marias

The Currier Cafe' has a great lunch. Excellent salad bar and awesome sandwiches!
