Straight from the University News Briefs:
Qdoba Mexican Grill will open on the Marquette campus this summer. Qdoba, a nationally franchised restaurant specializing in fast, fresh Mexican cuisine, will be located at the northwest corner of 16th and Wells, in space recently vacated by George Webb’s.
Mike Whittow, vice president for Hilltop Enterprises, Inc., said George Webb decided to leave the area after five years. “George Webb was a welcome partner in the mix of food operations made available in Campus Town,” he said. “With their departure, we are delighted to have secured so quickly a tenant of the caliber of Qdoba.”
Qdoba offers its signature burritos, tacos, salads, quesadillas, nachos and more. Qdoba expect to open by the end of August.
That George Webb’s was nothing but an eyesore of empty booths and apathetic severs that is FINALLY gone. When your burger can’t compete with the likes of MU Gyros and… MU Gyros? it’s indicative of a problem. Thankfully we’ll be taking another step closer to adding some decent food. Now all we need are some tenants on the East end of campus. Noodles, Panera or 5 Guys is acceptable. 5 Guys… second best burger I’ve ever had… the fries, not so much.
I was recently reintroduced to Qdoba, and though it’s no Chipotle, it is close and their delicious burritos and quesadillas will be accepted whenever I am jonesing for some burrito. I feel like I’ll be willing to walk the extra few blocks past T-Bell and The burrito lounge at Open Pantry. Hopefully they’ll be open late too so I can make a midnight run.

In case anyone From Qdoba comes upon GOP3, I want to let you know the number one thing you can do to be successful at Marquette University:
Staff your restaurant with Marquette students.
The reason that nearly every restaurant or fast food joint fails on campus is that employees seem to have little incentive to serve MU students well or quickly. The reason that the Dogg Haus, on the corner of 17th and W. Wells St., has been successful (in my opinion) is because they have been staffed by either MU students or college-aged employees. These students know the rest of the student body and have a better work ethic than non-students since they have an incentive to do well (as they interact with them outside of the restaurant).

I’m not going to lie; I love burgers from Marquette Gyros.

Apparently I’m in the minority position here, but I loved the George Webb’s on campus.
It was slow, but where else could you get a breakfast (2 eggs, hashbrowns, toast) for $2.69 with one of their coupons?
A little part of me died when I read this post.
