College breaks even the strongest of souls. In the deepest depths of this dark hell, great food is one of the few things we can find solace in.

Keep reading for 20 things you need to eat in Minneapolis.

1. Fried Chicken and Garlic Toast from Raising Cane’s

Mmmhm. This should come as a surprise to none, but the chicken and special Cane’s sauce is legendary. The toast that comes with every meal are like little pillows of happiness that you can eat, that you should eat. Lots of.

2. Cookies from Insomnia

The savior of all late night cram sessions. The warms gooey cookies fresh from the oven are heavenly at any time of the day, but they’re especially delicious at 1 am when you’re desperately trying to learn an entire semester of ochem.

3. Fries and Malts from Annie’s Parlour

Portion control is not a thing here. Get an order of fries and you’ll be one of the happiest carb consumer in the Dinkytown area. Likewise, the malts also come in gigantic sizes for you to share with that special someone. Or yourself, no judgements.

4. Pizza from Mesa’s

The strangest flavors you’ll never want to try except for when you’re definitely not sober. Definitely a must if you’re into trying different things.

5. Kalbi from Korea Restaurant/Hair Salon/Karaoke Bar

You probably haven’t heard of this because you’re an uncultured swine. It’s beef ribs. Go try it. Also a great opportunity to grab a haircut and sing some karaoke since the restaurant has all three.

6. Wings from Blue Door Pub

If you’re ever in the Como area, this is the place to go. They’re famous for their juicy Lucy’s, but the wings are a must try as well. They have monthly promotions so it’s more gentle on the wallet as well.

7. Waffles from Black Coffee & Waffle Bar

You don’t have to be a basic white girl to come here. In fact, your barista with the tattoos and alternative band tee will probably judge you less if you don’t Instagram your waffle. But feel free to do it anyways.

8. Sushi from Haiku Japanese Bistro

Definitely the best spot for sushi on campus. There’s so many different rolls here, you’re bound to find something you love. I mean, unless you’re just that high maintenance.

9. Shawarma and Hummus from Wally’s Falafel and Hummus

The underrated gem of Dinkytown. Try their shawarma, falafel, gyro, hummus, everything. Buy out the store. Live there. Be happy forever.

10. Ice Cream from Izzy’s

Home of the famous Izzy scoop. With three locations in the twin cities area, the lines can still wrap around the entire store. One of the sweetest things to eat in Minneapolis.

11. Calzones from DP Dough

The calzones here really know how to ooze cheese. Everything, including their cookies are fresh out of the oven.

12. Pancake’s from Tony’s Diner

This old fashion diner serves some of the best comfort food on campus. Their portions are huge and you always leave feeling like you just received one of Grandma’s big hugs.

13. Sambusa from Afro Deli

You really can’t go wrong ordering anything from here. They’re reopening soon on East bank because the other location was too small. Enough said?

14. Burgers from Surley’s Brewery

You do not have to like booze to come here. I repeat, you do not have to like booze. It helps though. The burgers are stacked higher than your ambitions and their desserts are mind blowing.
