After gaining recognition within the local community, Dandy\u2019s Burgers and Texas A&M University-Kingsville are engaged in a partnership that goes together like burgers and fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a well-received trial run, Dandy\u2019s Burgers can now be found at the Memorial Student Union Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExpanding into the university has been fun. It comes with its challenges like any other business when expanding such as building a bigger team and training but over a great opportunity\u2026 Aramark, who runs dining at TAMUK, was looking to add to the university and we both felt it\u2019d be a great idea. Since we already have a large student customer base the move seemed simple,\u201d owner of Dandy\u2019s Eliu Cazares said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lunch time is a rush hour for Dandy\u2019s Burgers. Students can be seen lined up around Dandy\u2019s Burgers for a quick bite before class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a variety of toppings and flavors, Dandy\u2019s Burgers stands out from other food options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dandy\u2019s Burgers is in the MSUB two days out of the week on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The addition of guest restaurants gives students a wide range of options for lunch and dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been wanting a good burger place in town since I came to Kingsville. When Dandy\u2019s opened it became my go-to place for food when I was off campus. Now that they\u2019re a visiting restaurant I don\u2019t have to leave campus for a burger. Having other restaurants in the SUB or on campus provides me with more diversity for lunch or supper rather than eating Subway like I normally do,\u201d Gina Merzbacher, agricultural business major, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dandy\u2019s Burgers is local restaurant that quickly picked up clientele upon opening. The unique home-made burger makes Dandy\u2019s Burgers a must-stop in Kingsville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think having Dandy\u2019s in the SUB is great. It gives us the opportunity to eat something else that isn\u2019t your traditional chain restaurants and it helps students get a taste of what local restaurants are here in Kingsville. I also think that it\u2019s a great way for us to help the locals here in Kingsville\u2026.I do wish more places like Dandy\u2019s would come to campus so we can try new foods and be able to see what other options we have here in Kingsville and help out local business as well,\u201d Erik Zamora, range and wildlife major, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students can look forward to a tasty burger at the SUB and the opportunity to support local businesses. Cazares was flattered with the opportunity to collaborate with TAMUK and looks forward to other partnering ideas with Aramark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt meant a great deal to me as a TAMUK alumni and having the opportunity to come and serve is a wonderful feeling,\u201d Cazares said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
