One of my favorites and a short walk away. They don't take reservations so it's best to get there early. You can always eat at the bar which is a great place to hang out. Try the House Pizza.

Jimmy John's
1540 W James StTo my mind it's better than Subway, a quick in and out. Walk or drive. Friendly staff.
Arts & Culture
I think it's the best movie theater in town. Good food and drinks you can take into the theater. There are previews before the movie but not advertising. Reserve seats on website and walk right in.
