As far as sit-down restaurants go, Texas Roadhouse is a "meat n' potatoes" type of place known for serving large portions. According to The Duluth 10 Web site, they started construction back in July at 902 Mall Drive next to Olive Garden, and hired 200 people. However, they are not scheduled to open until Jan. 25.

Buffalo Wild Wings and Culver's seem to have an upper hand in college students' preferences, due to their prices and fast service.

"I'll probably go to Culver's sometimes," senior Stephen Eder said. "But I don't have the time or money for sit-down restaurants."

Jake Meyer is a junior who said he would like to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. "I'll probably go there quite a bit for game and fight nights because they get all the pay-per-view stuff."

Despite all of these restaurants being the first of their kind in Duluth, it looks like they will have some trouble roping in the college demographic due to their location and the wide variety of dining options that Duluth already has.

"I like B-Dubbs personally, but I hardly ever go up by the mall. It's too far away," junior Nick Emanuel said. "I mean, I love Taco Bell, but I can never make myself drive all the way there. Chipotle would be a different story."
