This doesn't really meet any of the qualifiers but The Village. The food is mediocre but it thrives due to its location by VCU.

Yeah idk if I'd call it expensive or pretentious though - just kinda crappy.

Make a mean milkshake though. And you get the extra bit in the metal cup too.

That's why I said it doesn't really meet any of the qualifiers. Just came to mind when I saw mediocre and survives due to convenient location for faculty gathering

Ruined any weight the endorsement of "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" had going for it. That place is a greasy spoon in the most C+ way possible.

Did village go down hill recently? I graduated 2015 and village was always a relatively cheap place to get a descent meal.

Loved The Village back in the early 00s. Then again I haven't been since the early 00s.
