<p>Got it. Thanks, all. Better late than never that we find a decent place to eat.</p>
<p>Marathon Deli. That’s the only decent place here. </p>
<p>Unless you want to do happy hour in which case Cornerstone has the best deals.</p>
<p>^Happy hour at Cornerstone is great. $5 for 20 wings, $2.50 for a burger and beer battered fries. Delicious.</p>
<p>Restaurants is one thing College Park does not lack but there are so many I guess it can be confusing to find the gems in the haystack so to speak…</p>
<p>My favorites for comfort food are Plato’s Diner, south of campus right on Route 1, as well as Franklin’s, also south of campus and on Route 1 (but a little further, technically in Hyattsville, maybe a 3 minute drive as opposed to 1 minute). Mosaic Cafe is right across from The View (on Route 1 next to campus, student apartments) and it is a very nice sit down Lebanese place in a small shopping center. Very nice atmosphere. Jason’s Deli and Noodles and Co are kind of the “order at the counter, take a number, and have them bring the food to your table” kinda places and are in the same shopping center as Boston Market but 1000x better! </p>
<p>CP does Japanese/Chinese particularly well, I would recommend Yami Yami, Wasabi Bistro, and Kyoko’s if you are into Japanese/sushi/etc. Two are by book holders and one is along Route 1. The seating area is small so you may feel like you are more in a “carry out” place but the food is to die for. </p>
<p>The food here is amazing. That is all ;).</p>
<p>Of all the above my recommendation would be to check out Mosaic Cafe next time you are in town, it is run by two graduate students and is a perfect place for parents/students in my mind. Sit down w/ menus and nicely decorated but not too fancy (certainly a far cry from Boston Market but there aren’t table clothes!), and a nice small business that is probably much better than Olive Garden and deserves your support much more :).</p>
<p>^Hanami (yet another sushi place) has a bunch of seats–it’s a lot nicer inside than you would expect.</p>
<p>Yeah, we like Plato’s Diner too, esp. for breakfast. We’ve been up to Maryland three times and eaten there twice lol. In fact, I was telling my DH about this thread and he couldn’t believe I didn’t mention Plato’s Diner, lol.</p>

<p>You can also eat–and shop–at IKEA, just north of the Beltway on 1.</p>
<p>Haha…we just had their Swedish meatballs for dinner tonight (bought frozen at their food store)!!! I’m thinking that IKEA probably doesn’t fit in the OP’s category, but it works for me!!!</p>
<p>Has anyone eaten at the 94th Aero Squadron resturant? We are coming Sunday to take my son to dinner, and my nephew recommended it. He graduated 2 years ago, o i was wondering if they are still open and any good. Thanks!</p>
<p>94th Aero Squadron is currently closed I think. That’s what it says on their website.</p>
<p>Thank you.!</p>
<p>suzy13, consider yourself lucky if they’re closed. That had to have been one of the worst meals our family has ever had in terms of food and ambience.</p>
