For teams that are traveling these may be suitable for groups of adults and students. Please note that if you’re bringing a large group it may be beneficial to call ahead. Also note that some establishments close relatively early in the Troy area.
Most places on this list will focus on dinner as that is the most likely meal teams will be eating out.
Trevarrow Ace Hardware is a local hardware store with a decent selection.
