So not feeling adventurous? Besides the local Austin restaurants, several fast food chains have found a home on the Drag. These include: Pita Pit, Which Wich?, Texadelphia and Potbelly’s.
Pita Pit has locations all over the country, and it offers affordable pitas for the average college student.
With many options to choose from Pita Pit’s menu, there is something for everyone. Meat Lovers can enjoy 14 different pita, veggie lovers seven, and they also have five pitas, which are under 500 calories.
Pita Pit is also great to student organizations. They offer “club night” where a portion of the sales goes to the organization when customers mention the organization.

Texadelphia has locations around Texas (and one in Oklahoma) that features sandwiches, burgers, appetizers and salads. Each cheesesteak sandwich is made to order, from fresh ingredients.
Texadelphia offers chips and queso as one of their staples, what would an originally Texas restaurant be without queso on the menu.
One interesting fact about Texadelphia is that, for all you Dragrats out there, it started out where Manjus is now located, the clothing store (which prides itself on the burnt orange dresses) is located. Check it out. ( Sorry for the blurriness, I had to blow it up from a smaller picture)

Potbelly’s is another sandwich shop, which even though it has a small menu to choose from, the options are endless once you add toppings. Also, their milkshakes are really good, and they are the perfect end to a Potbelly’s sandwich. Or, if you just want something sweet, you can get a milkshake or one of their hand dipped ice cream cones.

Which Wich, in my opinion, is the epitome of made to order sandwich shop. First you choose your “meat” (they have a separate vegetarian and breakfast bag), then you are able to choose your bread, toppings, cheese and everything else you want on your sandwich. The possibilities are endless and there is always something to new to try.
All of these restaurants are conveniently located on the Drag within close proximity to each other, so if you go in a big group and can’t decide on one place, you can each go to a different place, and then meet back up and still enjoy each other’s company.
