Where to eat
Lunch — close to class
Bay City landmark. Lunch specials run quick — you'll be back in your seat at 1 PM on time.
Lunch — quick & honest
Family-run Tex-Mex. Order at the counter, eat fast, get on with your day.
Dinner — night before
Sit-down Tex-Mex with margaritas if the morning class doesn't start too early. Local favorite for a reason.
Coffee — pre-class
We brew coffee at the facility too, but if you want something on the way in, there are several locally-owned drive-thrus along Avenue F.
