I don't know why it has taken me so long to review the Rat considering I spend a good amount of time here these days. Last night, between classes a group of 9 of us went to grab some dinner and I realize how awesomely convenient this place truly is.

First of all they have beer, hard to find on a campus, which makes the world of a difference when you just got out of class at 5pm and have a three hour night class at 6:25. Enough time to sneak a pitcher in, maybe two if you are well accompanied. They also give the law students free beer and fries every other Thursday (yes...needless to say I've made friends with lots of them)

Secondly, they have $2.99 lunch deals, that include a bottle of water (or a soda for an extra buck), and that are quite filling. Their menu is pretty extensive, with veggie options, all kinds of finger foods, burgers, grills, salads, pitas (my favorites are the pats veggie or the posse) chop-chops, etc. I love the fact that most of their sitting is outside and you can opt from a regular table,  rocking booth, or now the recent addition of some comfy couches.

They often have live music playing inside, and even though some might find it inconvenient, I kinda like the way you order and pick up your food if you are sitting inside. The service outside is a toss up, sometimes you'll get really good servers, other times you'll get the newbies that have never been in the service industry but are trying to have a job in college- types.

I was going to give it a 3, but then I remembered I never had anything like the Rat in undergrad and it truly is so refreshing and convenient that I have to go for the 4.

I used to have lunch here all the time at UM. I would meet friends and swing in their tables. Loved their daily specials and the fact that it was table service.

The best part was getting a nice buzz before going to a extremely boring class.

Why don't we have a Rat at work?

surprisingly tasty veggie burger when you think about the type of establishment it is.  Not so great shakes.  I would grab a veggie burger if I ever have to grab a quick bite while im on campus

The Rat, as it's known on campus, is a popular lunch and happy hour spot for UM students.  Their daily lunch specials are great deals, as you can get a meal, including a drink, for about $7 or $8.  The Kitchen Posse Pita is a great choice, as are their chicken fingers.

The Rat also does pretty good beer specials.  They're mainly a beer place, but they can scrounge up some mini-bottles of vino for you if that's what you're feeling.  My friends and I would often go hang out on their big swings and split pitchers while waiting around for our evening classes to start.  Ah...those were the days...
