Avanti's is great for the poor college student or a togo order when you're headed for a picnic. It's simplistic flavors and super soft bread are designed for children, old people, or anyone with a child-like taste palette. I didn't find it romantic, or quaint. It's another kind of fast food, and allows large families to go out without breaking the bank. If you've never been, you should go just so you can say you've been. In Bloomington-Normal, Avanti's is very popular, but I don't know why.
Pros: inexpensive, simplistic menu
Cons: boring decor, "hokey"
