Top 10: Best Places to Go with a Hangover in Blacksburg

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Virginia Tech chapter.

 

10.) Hokkaido Buffet: Located next to the South Main Kroger, Hokkaido serves a cheap $4.99 lunch buffet. If you come here you will be leaving your hangover at the door, I promise.
 
9.) DP Dough: With an endless amount of possibilities DP Dough makes it how you like it. Did I mention they deliver?
 
8.) Kobe Japanese Express: Just when you think Habachi to go can’t get better, they have hibachi that is delivered.  Teriyaki chicken and stir fry with “hokie sauce” is the perfect concoction to cure your hangover.
 
7.) McDonalds: Okay, okay, Micky D’s is the classic example of hang over food. It’s greasy and the dollar menu is calling your name after a rough night of partying. Breakfast or dinner… it’s quick and cheap.
 
6.) Five Guys: What’s better than a cheeseburger and an over flowing bag of french fries?
 

5.) Benny Marzano’s: Benny is the new kid on the block but don’t be too hasty. Benny ‘s has already made a name for itself with the humongous 14 inch Virginia Slice. The greasy cheesy NY-style pizza is your remedy, unless you ate it the night before.  Go big or go home Benny’s serves a 28 inch pizza pie for 30 bucks, split it between a few friends and it will cure any head, stomach or heart ache for that matter.
 
4.) River Mill: River Mill is a hop skip and a jump from our friend Benny Marzano’s but what separates these contenders is the “hair of the dog”…that’s right, because nothing rids a hangover like more drinking. Bloody Marys, please. River Mill has fresh food and everything is less than $6.  Have your choice, tex-mex or burgers? Can’t go wrong.
 
3.) Chipotle: Of course the student favorite — Chipotle — made the list. Everyone has their “to-go-to” meal whether it’s a burrito or burrito bowl. You are in charge of this one folks.
 
2.) Jimmy Johns: Jimmy Johns makes it almost to the top of the list not only because its delicious but because it delivers. No, need to get out of bed they will bring it to you. Convenience is key. 

1.) Joe’s Diner: Joe’s Diner is your typical diner ranging from dressed hotdogs, melts and shakes. But this hole in the wall is known for its breakfast. The Big Joe’s monstrous breakfast will cure any hangover with its whooping 2 eggs, choice of bacon or sausage or country ham, hashbrowns or grits, toast plus your choice of French toast, waffles or biscuits and gravy.  This hangover delight barely fits on a plate.  Did I mention you can have anything smothered or covered, yep, its that good.
Not to mention, everything on the menu is less than $7.
