Perk Up Shines in the Eyes of Students

Anandhu Shaji, staff writer

Before you walk in through the front doors of the South Entrance at PVCC, your nose will be met by the smell of delicious food. Where is it coming from? Well it is from the campus restaurant Perk Up.

I had the opportunity to try their burger with fries. There are few words to describe the experience. The burger with fresh lettuce, green pickles, melted cheddar cheese was a celebration of flavors in the mouth. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

If you are not a meat person, there is no need to worry. “We have salads, veggie burgers, veggie wraps and much more for the vegetarians,” said the friendly and smart staff member at Perk Up.

Perk Up also has a coffee stand outside their doors where they brew many selections of fresh and tasty coffee. So if you want to get a nice cup of coffee in the morning or before class, then the Perk Up coffee stand is the place to go. Compared to many of the restaurants around Charlottesville, Perk Up is affordable for the students at PVCC. The burger with fries came out to $10.

Overall, Perk Up is worth trying. Perk Up is open Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m.
