The Best Places to Eat Around Chapman University

By Maddie Howard on February 27, 2017

One of my favorite things about going to school on the west coast (other than the weather, of course) is the food! From Boba to Pho and everything in between, California is without a doubt a hot spot for some seriously delicious food!

Students at Chapman University, located in the heart of old town Orange, are fortunate enough to have five-star grub within walking distance from campus. So when deciding which restaurant is going to be the source of your freshman 15, check out this list of the best restaurants near campus!

1. Growl Juice Pub

Get your acai bowl fix at the most addictive place in town! Growl offers a wide variety of tasty and healthy options that everyone will love — not to mention how #instaworthy all of their food is.

2. Pie Hole

If you love pies as much as I do, you must stop by Pie Hole on the corner of Glassell. Their selection of sweet and savory pies draws crowds of students there on the daily. If you’re looking for a recommendation, try one of their best selling pies: the “cereal killer.”

3. Burger Parlor

Burger Parlor is In and Out’s much cooler older brother. This upscale burger joint likes to add a personal spin on the hamburgers you grew up with.  From chili cheese Fritos to their “secret sauce,” you are sure to find the perfect burger to suit your cravings.

4. Gabby’s

Ask anyone what Chap Town’s best kept secret is and they will tell you it’s Gabby’s. Why is it a secret? You may not be able to find it!

Located at 141 South Glassell Street, you might accidentally drive past the restaurant because they don’t have a sign. But it’s worth the search to find the most authentic Mexican food in town.

5. Pizza Press or Blaze

There are only two types of students who attend Chapman University: those who love Blaze and those who love Pizza Press. It’s a heated debate at Chapman. Students are passionate about their favorite custom pizza parlor in town. Which side are you on? Guess you’ll have to try both and find out!
