Spring Break
Get sauced at Campus West Shell's Smoking BBQ

Issue date: 5/1/08 Section: Verve
You might need teeth for the ribs though. They're loaded with meat and, even without one of Terry B's three levels of sauce, they pack their own smoky spice.
Vegetarians aren't completely ignored at Raymond's. True, meat's the thing, but the sides are delicious too. Terry B. makes baked beans as tasty as I've had and his potato salad mightily improves on the bland potato.
Since grilling season and graduation are upon us, it's time for marinades and sauces. You could really impress your guests by soaking and grilling chicken or fish with Angela's Tamarind Chutney or by slathering Terry B's barbecue sauce on ribs and chicken.
Prices at Raymond's range from $6 for a Smoked Beef Bologna sandwich to $9.75 for Baby Backs.
Raymond's has chicken too, at $7 for a half and $12.99 for a whole. Sandwiches come with one side; entrees come with two.
At the Caribbean Food Shack, you'll pay $1.95 for an "island" hot dog ("Not your typical gas station wiener!") or a doubles or aloo pie sandwich, with prices up to $6.95 for a catfish dinner on Friday or a BakeNShark ("Voted #1 Sandwich by Andrew Zimmern of Travel Channel").
The dining atmosphere at the Shell station is a tad improved by outdoor seating, and speakers that now pipe blues and honky tonk, but that'll never be the draw. It's the food they're dishing up that's not to be missed.
So follow the smoke and go for the regional cuisine at Campus West Shell.
A gas station never smelled so good.

Both these places are addicting as hell! My friends and I eat there at least 3 times a week between both stands. Both have awsome food and great people work them. (Continued…)

Damn you guys now I am hungry as hell and no where close to either place. LOL!
It's been years since I was in Fort Collins but when I was there last I liked that Chipotles place right near campus. (Continued…)
