Being a foodie, I don't mind spending a couple extra dollars for food. However, being a student myself, my friends aren't exactly in the same mindset of spending big bucks for food. That is why I always have happy hours deals in my back pocket, to entice my friends to eat at restaurants nicer than good old McDonalds. These happy hour deals are tried and true! Note: Make sure to call to double check if the happy hour deals are still the same
