The Brown Bottle
A long-time favorite serving Italian fare. After a meal one can stroll alongside the river just across the street. Gluten-free menu available.
Pepper's Grill and Sports Pub
2 floors with 40+ TVs to watch the game. Wings, sandwiches and all sorts of alcoholic drinks. The pool tables are sort of tucked away so it's a good place to eat and have a lot of fun. Extremely busy if the Panthers or other local teams are on TV.
Mulligans Brick Oven Grill and Pub
Another popular place to both eat and watch the game. One floor split into two sides, one focused more on eating and the other more so on TVs and food surrounding the bar.

Main St. (http://www.communitymains...) downtown is a popular spot for a variety of restaurants, some which are nicer than the ones near campus.
