After a long library session on Wednesday night, we wanted to get some late night food. Going off campus seemed like too much of a process, but thankfully, the Bistro now offers late-night food. When we passed by the Bistro on the way back to our dorm and smelled the greasy aroma, we knew that was where we were going. Starting this year, the Bistro is open from 11pm to 2:30am Wednesday through Saturday.

The Bistro late night atmosphere is very different compared to the daytime. The lights are dimmed and the music selection is more upbeat and loud.? The atmosphere tends to change each night. Wednesdays are a lot quieter, usually only busy at the beginning, while Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are louder and get busy at the end of late night. If you want to avoid long lines, we suggest going on Wednesdays or right at the beginning on the weekend. The staff is very attentive and they are usually very fast with their service. Everything is served with tater tots or French fries and a drink for just $5.75!

There are a variety of options to choose from on the menu. The diner style menu offers breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, wings, waffles, French toast, wraps, omelets and more. We didn?t know what to choose so we decided to get a variety of things including pancakes, wings and a breakfast sandwich to share.

We decided on chocolate chip pancakes, but they have regular and banana as well. The portions are large and an order of pancakes comes with three. Each menu item comes with tater tots or French fries, but we suggest getting the tater tots. They are perfectly crispy and when dipped in ketchup they taste phenomenal. The pancakes were fluffy and golden with the perfect amount of chocolate chips on them. We heard from others that the regular pancakes are just as good. Chocolate chip pancakes, however, are the most popular choice. Pancakes paired with the tater tots are a perfect combo for a late night meal.

For those who don?t like sweets and usually crave salty, they have an array of items to choose from. We decided to try the wings. There are different flavors offered ranging from barbeque to hot. The hot wings can be made hot to very hot for those that like things extra spicy. We decided on barbeque wings and got fries with them. The fries served at late night Bistro are the normal Bistro French fries, which we all know are the best fries on campus. The wings were a little messy, but what wings aren?t? They are very generous with the sauce and poured it all over the chicken. The barbeque flavor was great. We have heard that the hot wings are better but for those that do not like spicy, we suggest getting the barbeque because we were very satisfied with them.

We also tried the bistro egg sandwich on a croissant. Diners have the option of getting sandwiches with bacon, ham, or with just egg andcheese. We decided on getting it with bacon. The cheese was melted perfectly on the egg and the egg was cooked very well. The bacon added flavor and crispiness to the sandwich. The sandwich can be made on a roll, but we suggest the croissant as it tastes much better.

Bistro late night is perfect for those wanting late night food after a long night in the library or after a night out. The food is similar quality to most diners and students can use their meals! Just remember that on Thursdays, meal plans reset at midnight, so any food you order after midnight will take meals away from your next week?s stock of meals. They also serve beer and wine on Friday and Saturday nights so those over 21 can also enjoy a drink with their food.? They also have the refrigerators stocked with shaker salads, drinks, desserts, salads, fruits, yogurt, and sometimes sushi. So if you are not in the mood for any of the made to order food, you can always grab a quick snack! The best part of Bistro late night is the fact that you can use a meal and that you get a lot of food for what you pay for. It is perfect for those that don?t want to drive off campus late at night and don?t want to wait to order food. Make sure to go on Wednesday or on the early side on the weekends to avoid long lines and waiting. We suggest going to the Bistro whenever you?re in the need for some yummy food late at night!
