Beyond Rock Road: Student-Approved Lunch Spots for Glen Rock High Schoolers

by Maggie Casper, Review Editor • April 2, 2025

It’s 10:56, you’re a Glen Rock highschooler, and you have precisely an hour and one minute to get back to class. After resorting to the same old classic spots on Rock Road everyday, students are now looking for some new lunch options to explore.  It’s a common struggle to find efficient new places to try, and students are often stuck when thinking about how to fulfill their cravings while still making it back before the bell. And then there’s the issue of finding a good parking spot on the back end of lunch. Whether you go alone, or with friends, the ability to go off campus during lunch is a great privilege, one that many upperclassmen tend to utilize. It’s well known that students have tunnel vision when it comes to lunch, needing to have same pizza slice, or bagel order multiple times a week. With this, I’ve gathered student-recommended places to try, which can allow you to broaden your horizon, on an efficient schedule. These trusted spots make the privledge of going off campus worth it, with distances and travel time all accounted for. Whether you’re craving a refreshing smoothie, crispy wings, or a juicy burger, these spots will leave you satisfied and energized for the rest of your school day and any extracurricular activities.
