  More like "Meh-na's," amirite?
  
  I can see this place being awesome at 2am after a fun night in college. As a lunch customer...not so much. It was very average. The dub is basically a burrito/sandwich hybrid, which is fine. I mean, again. Whatever. But it was quite heavy and greasy - even the vegetarian one. It came loaded up with home fries in the wrap itself, and it was just really greasy and not my thing.
  
  Again though, I get why this would be really terrific late-night food. Seriously. I get what they're going for and why people rave about it. With my wits about me at 12:30 in the afternoon, however, I basically ate a fried potato and banana pepper burrito, and I'm not totally sure why. Meh.

  I thought it was super tasty.  I got the veggie dub and it was huge.  I could imagine that it would be the perfect night cap, if I was still in college.  They are open til 4.
  
  I ordered fries also, which are more like potato spuds, not fries.  They were good, but it just wasn't what I expected.
  
  The prices were reasonable, you can mix up the toppings to make a sandwich that you want, and I loved warm wrapped tortilla sandwiches.

  Love it!  Yes, it's tacky.  Yeah, it's a little unsophisticated.  Uh-huh, it's sloppy.  But it's great rib-sticking grub for cheap.  I thought it tasted great when I was sober, I can imagine it would make for great drunk food.

  Whoa... just tried my first "Dub" -- a tortilla-wrapped sandwich of grill-top cooked ingredients.  It was pretty delicious.  My hot veggie dub came with piping hot grilled peppers, mushrooms, onions, and the the joint's specialty home fries, all dripping with melty mozzerella cheese and ranch sauce.  (This is the only veggie option aside from a build-your-own, but I could eat this every time.  Those who enjoy meat will find a bevy of options.)  What makes the dub truly great is the crunch of the grilled tortilla outside the melty, savory filling.
  
  Menna's has several locations on campuses around Michigan.  Apparently a couple of self-described "old hippies" started up their first student-operated "joint" at Michigan State to offer their favorite munchies to the public, which have been popular enough to warrant several new locations like this one by CMU.  The place is themed with (not so) veiled weed references, which might lead you to believe you are ordering a "doob," but the house specialty is pronounced with a short-u like "shrub."
  
  I'll be back for another dub the next time I'm in the mood for some awesome comfort food.
