Best Bargain Lunches In America

Lunch is not only a great meal, but it's also a break from what can be a tough day, especially during a grueling work week. Lunch is a "break," and not only do you want a break from the stress, you want a break on your bill. You don't always want to pay top dollar for lunch, sometimes, you end up paying as much or more for your lunch than you do for your dinner.

Personally, I want a smaller and less expensive meal for lunch. It helps the waistline and helps the wallet. So when I found an article about cost-affective meals, I wanted to read more.

 

 

According to an article by Grace Nguyen for Chef Standards, these are the "cheapest" restaurants for a great lunch in America. "This guide highlights top picks for wallet-friendly dining experiences across all 50 states. Whether you're a local or a traveler, these eateries offer satisfying dishes and unique atmospheres that showcase regional flavors and hospitality."

 

For New Jersey, the restaurant chosen is in the County Seat in Bergen County, New Jersey. White Manna in Hackensack was selected for the best "cheap" lunch in the Garden State.

 

"New Jersey offers a taste of nostalgia with White Manna in Hackensack, famous for its sliders. This retro gem serves these tiny burgers with grilled onions, offering a delicious bite at an affordable price. The lively atmosphere and classic jukebox in the background elevate the diner experience. A must-visit for those looking to indulge in a piece of Americana while keeping the bill affordable."
