With the college basketball season in full swing and March Madness fast approaching, it’s nice to branch out from campus and east Lawrence for a gameday meal. Check out these hidden eateries in west Lawrence, where the chill vibes are as refreshing as the dishes you’ll be served.
CHIPS AND SALSA
The Salty Iguana
4931 W. 6th St.
Free when dinning in, $2.79 for a
16-ounce carryout
While you’d think a Mexican restaurant would guarantee an exquisite salsa, the Salty Iguana’s just barely reaches par. After a few drinks, you’ll forget you even had an appetizer.

KING PIZZA
Pizza Shoppe
1520 Wakarusa Drive
$11.50 (single topping)
Pizza Shoppe’s dish is a great change of pace for the college crowd’s favorite diet staple. Although they don’t deliver, the trip to west Lawrence is well worth the commute.

SANTA FE CHICKEN SANDWICH
JB Stout’s Bar & Grill
721 Wakarusa Drive
$6.99
The chicken tastes like… well, chicken. But the fries pack a punch, and when combined with Stout’s honey mustard sauce, wash down splendidly with your favorite pitcher.

BEST: BBQ CHICKEN SALAD
Zig & Mac’s Bar & Grill
1540 Wakarusa Drive
$9
Barbeque will do what barbeque does best, leaving your stomach happy and round while the salad will let you feel good about your figure, even after a round of beers. With 24 TVs, Zig & Mac’s is the best gameday venue in west Lawrence.
