Students of today will NEVER know: What were your hot spots?

What Clemson campus and city of Clemson hot spots, restaurants, attractions, etc. will today's students never know anything about?
My featured spots:
-Clemson House Dining Hall (Sunday brunch!) -Clemson House Barbershop (go see Dennis or Joe and get straightened up!) -Rockhoppers restaurant (esp for trivia night) -Explorers restaurant/bar (Plutonium Wings) -Sardis Den restaurant (All you can eat crab legs!) -Western Sizzlin (when this place closed, we stopped winning National Championships... Just saying) -Tiger Tails in Seneca (I bet current students would never believe this place existed so close to campus)... to be clear, this wasn't a place I frequented -Beezers ($1 subs delivered to your dorm... before Grub Hub was a thing) -The indoor track in Littlejohn Coliseum... that had a 100m that finished in the bathrooms. Lol!
What else you got?

I lived in the prefabs by the P and A building my freshman year 1980-81 school year. Heck of an introduction to college! And Bengal Ball was always a great weekend.

The canteen under the loggia for bacon egg and cheese sandwiches Message was edited by: cu85tiger®
Macs hamburger steak smothered in onions salad with french dressing, buttered toast and tea $1.25 or sometimes a BBQ sandwich (the dollar bill on the menu board that Moses Malone tipped Mac when he was on Clemson visit) Red Carpet fried chicken and Longneck Bud Walhalla Steakhouse ($1.99 for a steak with fries and grits!) Capri's lasagna Dan's hamburgers
Monday nights - my roommate and I would go to Hardee's for 2 burgers, fries, apple pie and drink for $1.04, then the Esso Club for a case of cold Bud and 2 bags of Taco flavored Dortos then over to our buds in Lever to watch Monday Night Football with Frank Gifford, Dandy Don & Howard Cosell, "Would you look at that Moon over War Memorial Stadium!"

1) The milkshakes at the P&A building.
2) The ‘stro’. The Astro Movie Theater. Can remember when the cost to view a movie was 99 cents. The person at the ticket booth had rolls of pennies and constantly handed back one as the customer handed over a dollar bill.

The 55 Exchange in the Hendrix Student Center still sells the milkshakes. Made from the same original formula Clemson Ice Cream. They cost a lot more than $1 now though.

Sliding down the issaqueena brings back memories. I was so young and fearless and foolish that I would dive off the ###. Would even do it at night. Lucky to be here

I was in summer school in 1977. My roommate and I would go to school every morning and then do whatever schoolwork we needed to do immediately after class. Then we’d head out to Issaqueena for the afternoon because our apartment was too hot and we couldn’t afford to run the AC.

Card punch machines and the card reader at the computer center. We would wait in line to have your cards run through the hopper, then have to wait for an hour or more just to find out you had a syntax error. I hated that place.

After about a month of doing the card reader thing, I got a password to access the computer screens and got back results within seconds. Also played games, like star trek, which we were not suppose to do (to much computing usage).

hardware. Del Taco on Tuesday nights for sure. Movies at Astro and the Y. Sunday lunch at Clemson House. Sitting on the ledge at Johnstone. Waffle King in Pendleton in the wee hours of the morning. But we spent a lot of time in TTT and Sloan Street as well! Sad part for me is that I lived in two dorms at Clemson, and they are both gone now (Clemson House and Johnstone). Still remember that Peggy Caple could touch her palms to both sides of the Clemson House hallway at the same time (A lot of the Women's BB team lived on my floor). Good times indeed!

Nickel draft at Zack’s My wife served shakes at P&A; someone tried to tell me once that the dairy shop was ever in that building
We always capped a big night with a Sonny burger plate at Sonny’s 123; couple of times we wandered into the dive across 123 from there…rough place, with a sign on the back of the door listing people who were no longer welcome there for various transgressions

My uncle was the manager at the buffet at the Ramada Inn for a long time. I always loved it, maybe because he was there. He took me to my first Clemson game. We lost him way too early.

The last time I was there it looked like Goobers had expanded and had taken over the whole building but I didn’t stop to check it out. I ate at Sardi’s many times in recent years but it wasn’t there when I was a student.

Maybe I am a little too old to have gone to any of those - or the lack of a car on campus kept me close to campus for some? I know the Clemson House was there of course but never went there to eat. Dan's was about as far as I ventured for food.

Neither did I...a '66 grad. Think Dan's was the main food source off campus, as it was very close to the tin cans. I lived off campus in a private home my middle two years, so only paid for lunch at the dining hall those years. On my limited food budget, I often dined on two lettuce and tomato sandwiches on toast for dinner from Dan's, which only cost 10 or 15 cents each at the time. Cannot believe how good and plentiful the food is in the dining hall now.

Do y'all remember "The Store"? It was located next to The Bookstore bar. Before the Fastfare was built, The Store was the only convenient store to campus.

In my day,early 60’S it was Dans or you didn’t eat,,, One place within walking distance of the tin boxes where you could get a 14 ounce Old Milwaukee was Nick the Greeks. You seldom saw more than a few guys in there. If you had access to a ride Bolton’s was the only other place to go. I ate my very first Pizza there in 1961! The Smorgasbord at the Clemson Housebwas especially good as I recall.

Yeah, my senior year in 1969, I was off the meal plan. My main meal of the day was at Dan’s, a hamburger steak, fries and iced tea, for $1.00.

memory. It was where our high school group of Clemson freshmen celebrated our college "Rite of Passage" that first Friday night, pitchers of beer and big ole greasy pepperoni pizzas, upstairs at The Study Hall. I've had better beer and better pizzas, but I can't remember any of them the way I remember those.

Someone mentioned Del Taco. Man I loved Del Taco and their Burrito Grande with onions back in the day. Way better and fresher in the 80's. I tried modern day Del Taco not long ago and it was more like Taco Bell. No where near as good as it once was.

I usually got the platter with the rice and beans. That beef burrito was off the chain back then though. I guess under different ownership and costs cuts over the years it just kind of went down in quality with the ingredients.

-All you could eat pancakes during exams at the McDonalds that was near the ESSO. It was amazing watching some of the O-Lineman eat. -Charlie T's lake front for $5 pitchers of Long Island Island Ice Teas and karaoke on Thursday nights. How we made it home was a sheer miracle -The Tackle Box to meet for night fishing tournaments on lake Hartwell with the local bass fishing clubs. -Having a gate key to cut through the hog farm and come out by T. Ed Garrison Arena after games to bypass traffic. -Tailgating as students in late 90's and early 2000s in Lot 4 right beside the walk entrance to the football facility with counterfeit parking passes we copied at the campus print shop. (I'm assuming statute of limitations has run its course)

Wasn't the snow in '72 the Thursday before Spring Break? I remember not being able to leave until Saturday and on Friday walking across campus getting into snowball fights with guys on the ledges of the Tin Cans, then ending with spending a memorable night at the Red Carpet!

Explorers - and their hot wing waiver and Kubla Kahn with spicy ranch!
Los Amigos - I think there was a two story one on Issaquena
Hardees - fast, convenient, near the intramural fields
Bojangles <- I think when I stopped going, I single handedly put them out of business.
Rumors - I think 18 and up at the time....
After hours spot in the neighborhood - It started like a DJ at 2 am - Anyone remember that name?
The one spot near the cop station (abandoned now near old KFC). You could barely see the top of it and you had to drive down a steep bank. (It was sort of a club/dive bar). Changed names a TON!
Charlie T's across the lake!
Go Tigers!

Sing-a-long at Whirl's or low tech Karaoke as I heard him say a few times. Before he expanded into the store, there would be more people drinking in the parking lot than inside.

from an old grocery store, hence the name. I remember seeing Mother's Finest there, with the female lead singer wearing a bright red belt buckle that said "HOT". She, and the place both were.

building out in the intersection of 93 and 133 across from end of Bowman. Guess they wanted better traffic flow and got rid of it. What was there before Substation II?
