On campus late night eating has taken a turn for the better with a new and improved menu at Fran’s Café, located in Willard dining hall. The South campus rival of Lisa’s Café, Fran’s Café, has a new claim to fame: its expanded hot food menu. In years past, the staple item of Fran’s was the delicious milkshake. Now, imagine milkshakes with a burger and fries as late as 2am. Burgers, quesadillas, flatbreads and fries are just a few of the many items on the newly expanded menu.

Feeling healthy? Check out the Caesar or buffalo chicken salads. Vegetarians can also indulge in Fran’s new menu by choosing the garden burger or the hummus and pita chips. As always, Fran’s utilizes the seating in Willard dining hall, so you’ll have plenty of space to talk to your friends or do some late night studying.

Lisa’s reign as the traditional best on campus late night dining option may have come to an end. Cold deli options and sushi are out; hot food, fresh off the grill is in. Next time you find yourself on South campus late at night, be sure to stop by Fran’s Café, the new late night dining hotspot on campus.

Hours of operation: Mon-Thurs: 8pm to 2am, Sun: 7pm to 2am
