Restaurants

On Campus
You may try the fast-food restaurants around campus, in the ground floor of PMU or HTM Cafe in Stone Hall. You also can check Purdue dining locations under dining. Dining courts are buffet style (all you can eat!) for about $11.

Off Campus
Here is an exhaustive list of restaurants in the Greater Lafayette By the way, here is the rule concerning tips for the waiter/waitress (who serves you at your table):

• 10 % of the total price if you are not content with his/her job (unpleasant behavior, you've been forgotten or you've received your dish after a really long time, s/he mixed up your orders).
• 15 % for a normal service (s/he came up regularly to check everything was in order, s/he responded in an appropriate time to your requests, etc).
• 20 % and more if s/he's done a very good job with your dinner.
• Just DO NOT LEAVE without leaving her/him money. The tips contribute toward most of his/her wage! Even if s/he's done a poor job, s/he did it and deserves to be paid for it.
• How to pay tips? By adding extra cash (your meal costs $8.50, you round it up to $10 and tell him/her to keep the extra money back), or by adding the tip on your credit card receipt/check.
• Usually for a big group of customers, the waiter/waitress will pre-calculate the tip. Also, waiters / waitress don't mind to divide up the check if you are a group and you all pay separately.
• One more thing: portions are bigger in the U.S. Don't feel like you should finish up your plate before leaving! You can ask for a "box" that you can take home!
