Attention all wannabe tourism guides: :D ;D ;)

Could people who know the Stevens Point area suggest places to eat and things for all of us coming up for the sectional to do while we are there? Thanks Much!

I was doing it over in the MIAA page while you typed your post!

As promised:

restaurants

Off the top of my head:

I'm going to try not to name any franchises!
Guu's in downtown:  Great for burgers
The Final Score:  Sports bar and grill, serves food
Springville Wharf:  Must try the Cheesy Italian Fries
Hill Top Pub & Grill:  Great food, TVs, etc.  A common place for visiting teams' fans.
Bill's Pizza:  Downtown, eat in, take out or deliver (if you're hungary at the hotel after the game)
Topper's Pizza:  Delivery
The Wooden Chair:  Downtown, good for lunch on Saturday.
Sky Club Supper Club:  Great breakfast buffet (all you can eat)
Blueberry Muffin:  Nice little breakfast place
Olympic Restaurant:  breakfast


Oh yeah, go to Belt's for ice cream!  Seriously.

There is also the Point Brewery, not sure if they give tours on Saturdays.

Do you know how much Wash U and Hope grads make??   ;)

And the Sport Plate is not expesive at all.  It's basically the golf course's club house.  All you can eat fish fry for $7.99.

I've heard this from other people too, but having had many fish fry's in my time (I guess so has everyone from Wisconsin), I disagree.  I just went there last friday and the fish was bland and so were the sides.  Over the past seven years in Point (and many fish frys later) I think Rusty's Backwater Grill and the Final Score have the tastiest fried fish.  It seems like people like the Sports Plate so much because it's all you can eat

Sorry, off-topic, I've just heard that people like the Sports Plate best for fish frys for a while now and I just don't get it. ???

Hudson's is another pretty good place... that's where my wife and I went before the last game.  It's a 50's style diner with burgers and malts, etc.

Coach Buchanon at UW-Superior landed another blue chip recruit this week in Jake Smith from Rhinelander. This is in addition to getting Shane Manor from Altoona and word is that he is heavily pursuing Dan Culy from Rice Lake who will be Big River Conference POY after the dust settles this season.

How in the sam hill does Coach Gibbons even keep his job at UWEC with a below .500 record this season and letting all these solid recruits get away??  Has UWEC lost it's pride?  Have the people of Eau Claire become aloof when it comes to basketball?  UWEC has become an absolute disgrace to every basketball banner that hangs from the rafters at Zorn arena and it is time for a change!!!!!!

And I thought I was harsh on Gibbons ;).  Coach Buchanon is well on his way to changing the atmosphere of Superior Basketball.  Attendence even seems to be up!!!!!!!!!
