What are your favorite restaurants around Augsburg?

Over the summer, the Augsburg University Dining Commons was closed for a major renovation, including new flooring, ceiling, furniture, and a more spacious food service layout. With the Commons closed for a glow up, we asked Augsburg’s social media followers what their favorite restaurants were around campus. Here are some of their responses:

As commuters, our home away from home was the Chin Wag, which is no longer. Our group of friends hung out in the Chin Wag during chapel, since that was the only time we were all free from classes. We all participated in our own churches so we wanted to invest more in our friendships. Our group continues to get together several times a year! Here’s a photo from graduation in 1973 in Murphy Square, and our most recent group event—a tour of the St. Paul Cathedral and lunch afterwards.
