Located on the southeast end of campus, Dave and Cranky’s offers students a unique dining experience with the best home-cooked meal outside of the home. The all-American bistro offers flavors and seasonings that fill the mouth with a palate overload. The menu is filled with delicious meats, from steak to pork, that compliment the restaurant’s fresh salads.
Dave Furse, the owner of Dave and Cranky’s, and his wife Lindsey, share stories and jokes with their customers, making customers feel like they are at a dinner party rather than a restaurant.
Everything in the restaurant has some personal value to Dave and Cranky’s. From the homemade tables and chairs to the Dada art hanging on the wall and the bar made out of a bowling alley floor, Dave and Cranky’s furnishings contribute to the bistro’s relaxed atmosphere.
