My boyfriend and I went last night for the first time after all these years of walking by it. Four beers, two salads, a loaf of bread, a plate of lasagna, and a plate of spaghetti for $20. Peeber on draft, Grateful Dead bootlegs on the stereo, baseball on the (old) TVs, postcards taped to the wall, and exotic dancers trading pointers at the bar.
Can't wait to go back.

This has been a hidden (well sorta) place on campus for as many years as I can remember.

Don't let the location turn you off, this joint is authentic old school campus.

I don't want to sound like a food snob; I like almost any food, but I cook pasta about 5 times a week and there's is NOT al dente. It's a nice kind of heavy, red, sweet tomato sauce and overdone pasta. It has its place. I like the atmosphere more than the food. And, I can bring my daughter in, have a brew and have no one looks at me funny.
Fun place, mediocre food.

oh yes, don't go if you want anything better than prego and noodles. But that's not what makes this place great.

AHHHHHHHH...NOW I know exactly where this place is! I went here back in the late 80's with a g/f who lived right by there.
After looking, the prices don't seem to have actually gone up in the last 20 years...
And come on, a crock full of nothing but cheese and meatballs????
That's good stuff.

Yeah, I can honestly say this and Out R Inn would be about the only 2 campus joints I'd peek my head in at this point of life.

Hehe, it IS like a baby Bier Stube. I'm def ordering the meatballs next time. A guy I work with said you used to be able to get a pizza there for 75 cents.
I just liked the vibe in there. I had never been, yet I felt I had been there all along...

Yep, definately a hidden gem!! When I lived there we knew a girl who worked there and we got the hook up on everything!!!
Yeah I wouldn't say the food is stellar, but you get more than what you pay for. Cheap beer, darts, solid juke box and a low key chill vibe. 8) 8)

Glad to see Momma's is still alive and kickin'

I think the Southberg closed before all the gateway construction. That place was awesome.
