Trudy's offers a wide range of Tex-Mex with a slightly contemporary twist, and fans are crazy about the chipotle salsa and chips that precede the meals. The half-pound burgers are tasty and massive, and they also offer medium and huge chicken-fried steaks. There are many selections for the vegan crowd, and a wide assortment of side veggies available. Try the mixed grill or the portobello fajitas. A well-stocked bar rounds out the mix, and keeps the UT students happy.
