The Graduate

You’ve known it for its night time activities but have you tried it for lunch?

The Graduate has been serving it up for 33 years. Yes, thirty three years it’s been doing lunch during the day and an assortment of dance nights each day of the week. It a great find for lunch and has a bit of a secret following as most still don’t realize there are open during the lunch hour and have only visited during evening hours.

The Digs:
The Graduate
990 Industrial Way
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

The Scoop:
They have a great selection of food from burgers to great chicken sandwiches, giant salads and even steak if you are craving it. The best thing about it is there is lots of food and all reasonably priced for lunch. It’s quite an operation.

What Rocks:
Big food and done in an assembly line fashion. They really have their system down and they have a huge lunch following. Try the grad burger or one of the chicken sandwiches. You won’t be disappointed but come hungry!

What Sucks:
This is nitpicking but you can’t get your drinks at the same place you order your food so if you pay by credit card you end up with two charges. One charge where you order food and a separate charge at the bar where you order your drinks. They should allow you to pay for your drink when you get your food and then pick up at the bar by showing your receipt.

The Moolah:
Lunch prices range from $4.50 to $13.50 depending on what you order but most is between $6-8. They have a full bar as well.
