Question:

Lunch suggestion for Urbana, IL area near I-57?
Any suggestions for a good place to eat near I-57 in the Urbana/Champaign area?

Answers:

A-Best: Magarita's Restaurant (1717 Philo Road, Urbana IL) is amazing. Huge portions and great food. You can also find a lot of restaurants on Green Street in Champaign.  

A: In Champaign there are three institutions one should not miss. First is Garcia's Pizza in a Pan on Green Street at 2nd St. Excellent pan pizza by the slice or by the pan (you might have to wait 30-35 minutes for the whole pie). Immediately east of Garcia's (adjoining Garcia's parking lot) is the White Horse Inn. It is famous for mushroom burgers and great beer. Parking in back of White Horse. Beer garden in back open in the summer. Closer in to campus town, about three blocks east of White Horse is Papa Del's. Papa Del's has by far the best pan pizza in Champaign. It is worth the long wait for a whole pie. Exit I-74 onto Lincoln Ave. Take Lincoln to Green Street and turn right (west). "Campus Town" starts at Wright Street just past the Illini Union. Papa Del's comes up first, two blocks down is White Horse and then Garcia's. All three are on the right (north) side of Green Street.
