Not everything that you eat has to be a four course meal. Its time to open up about munchies and admit that we all get a creative palette at times. No this isn’t an article for smokers- but even if that is what you’re into, enjoy this list of amazing restaurants to choose when you need that munchies fix!

Cookout

The best of the best of the south. WOW. Cookout has endless options of fried foods, shakes and burgers. If you’re a cheese lover, the cheddar burger is the way to go! Pair that with any shake and you’re on your way to munchie heaven! ( Their milkshake flavors range from banana pudding to blueberry cheesecake. I know, I’m drooling too.)

Blueberry Cheesecake Milkshake and Cheese Fries.

Sweet Frog

Sweet Frog has and always will have a special place in my heart. If you’re one of those people that try to convince yourself that everything you eat has some sort of nutritional value then this will be your munchie oasis. Besides, Froyo is more nutritional than ice cream right? Endless toppings, syrups and cereals leave you satisfied because you can get everything you’re craving at a one-stop-shop!

Chipotle

Need I say more? Higher quality than Taco Bell, and lower quality than authentic Mexican food. Who doesn’t love a happy medium? Chipotle also has all organic ingredients and its fresh taste of variety is what makes this a top pic for munchie mayhem.

From Tacos, to Burritos, to Burrito Bowls, you can truly get fresh ingredients you want the way you want it. Don’t even get me started on the guacamole! If you’ve been to chipotle, you know exactly what I mean.

I recommend getting the Burrito Bowl with Barbacoa meat and whatever else you want on top!

Sonic

Okay, I know what youre thinking. Sonic? Whats next- McDonalds?

But here’s the thing: Not everyone has access to the Chipotle’s and Panera Breads of the world. This one is for my fellow college students on a tight budget. If you want to go crazy on fried food options and shakes, slushees, and most importantly, A FOOTLONG HOTDOG- Sonic is the place for you. The greatest thing about Sonic is that it’s not just in the South. Sonic is accessible everywhere in the US!

Just like cookout, the options are limitless. I recommend Chilli Cheese or Ched r Peppers.
