However, it's entirely possible if you think outside the Mountain. Yeah, the Jamocha Shake is only available here, but these are the best damn fries in the game.

It's also worth checking if they're offering anything for signing up for the Arby's email list. Sometimes handing over your email lands you a free sandwich or gyro. What to order: If you've ever been to a White Castle or have seen a film with the words "Harold and Kumar" in the title, you know the drill.

What to order: No, the Colonel still isn't bringing back the long-dead Double Down. Though, the nuggets would substitute well and keep you in the same price range. Plus, you'd be getting those sweet, sweet sauces. Sometimes the classics are classics for a reason.

What to order: Jimmy John's hasn't always been the best place for a super-cheap lunch. However, in late , JJ added the Little John. Plus, there are seven varieties of the Little John, which gives you options, but the 6 is a solid choice if you're looking to get the most out of the smaller sandwich.

The vegetarian sandwich comes with avocado, provolone, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. You're getting a lot more flavor there than with the spare Slim 5 and a few more calories than with the other Little John options.

If you're ordering anything but the salt and vinegar chips, you're doing it wrong. What to order: You're going to have a tough time pulling this one off.

That's the highest calorie soup they offer. For the same price, you can come close with the Summer Corn Chowder or the Bistro French Onion. What to order: You'll run into the same problem here that you ran into at Chipotle. You could turn to the kid's menu, but that can get awkward.

Let's go a different direction. What to order: The Dollar Menu is dead; long live the Dollar Menu. That's the best you'll do unless you're dining with the Hamburglar. What to order: Get dressed like you're making stops at the sock hop and Makeout Bluff, then try not to spill chili cheese down your chest.

So, there's really only one option to make it all happen here. Load it up with your favorite fixings and add in a bag of Sun Chips, because that's what you do at Subway.

What to order: Yes, you could blow your budget and more on any of its ridiculously sweet Frap du Jour surprises. But you can actually get a decent breakfast as well.

Not to mention you should be checking the Rewards app to get points and see if there's a Happy Hour going down. What to order: You could blow the budget on the new Impossible Whopper , which is really a pretty good choice. That'll land you a bacon cheeseburger, four-piece order of chicken nuggets, cookie, value-sized fries, and a ounce soft drink.

What to order: Look, you know where this is going. You can't just go to Popeyes and not get that chicken sandwich. That almost puts you up to you budget's ceiling.

You're going to want that drink to cool your mouth if the sandwich proves too spicy for you. Skip to main content News. By Dustin Nelson. Here are the three principles driving the food selection for this list: 1. Now, dig in. Taco Bell. Panda Express.

White Castle. The saucy mix of green chiles and cheese over corn chips was modest in size, but still more than we were anticipating. The main draw here is the number of choices Del Taco provides.

This restaurant is doing its best to serve satisfaction for less, and it's succeeding. Jack in the Box hides many of its value-conscious items amidst its general menu, making for a frustrating search. But it does this extremely well, providing a sandwich that's both crispy and tender, with a refreshing touch of lettuce and a smear of mayo added for good measure.

While this simple bite isn't as flashy as the more glamorous chicken sandwiches on the Jack in the Box roster, it's also not nearly as pricey. If a cheaper chicken alternative is what you're craving, Jack has you covered with its most basic choice. The population of this trim listing includes three modest yet outstanding offerings: the Americana Roast Beef Sandwich, the Classic Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and Mozzarella Sticks.

It's a small list, but one that transcends its limitations by providing full-sized portions that feel like a triumph. Allowing diners to mix and match makes the victory even sweeter.

We opted for the Americana Roast Beef Sandwich and the Mozzarella Sticks and discovered that Arby's roast beef topped with American cheese, lettuce, onions, and tomato feels like a new and delicious type of hybrid between a burger and a beef sandwich.

The Mozzarella Sticks were cleanly breaded and caused zero complaints. For a franchise that's been serving up America's roast beef in pretty much the same way since it opened, finding an exciting sandwich that freshens up the menu at a price that's nice is a sweet surprise.

Having a side option that deviates from the familiar fries selection is a bonus as well. The Burger King Rodeo Burger just so happens to be one of these items. Imagine improving a Burger King cheeseburger by adding a couple of whopping onion rings and some BBQ sauce to the bun to bring a zesty zing to the flame-broiled, cheesy goodness.

It's a festival of flavor that takes a simple sandwich and turns it into a pub-style revelation for less money than just about anything else on the menu. You can lay five bucks on the counter, order two of these tastebud-wowing sandwiches, and have enough to cover tax.

There aren't a lot of restaurants where this happens, but the world works differently when you're the King.

Though the nutrition facts may make you think twice about getting a Burger King Rodeo Burger , at least the price is not prohibitive. Since the items on this list were chosen for their pricing and relative quality in the dicey domain of fast food, shopping for mindful possibilities was severely constrained.

But if you know the deal and you're good with how the numbers shake out, a Rodeo Burger at BK is A-OK. If you plan on making a run for the border, you can do it with the spare change in your pocket and come through with a range of filling selections.

It's a thoughtful way to honor the tradition started by the chain with the original Taco Bell dollar menu. Out of everything we could have chosen on the list, we found that the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito was by far the biggest item we came across in the discount bin.

There's no shrinkflation affecting this full-sized burrito. This bountiful bite is a full-sized entree loaded with strips of grilled chicken, spicy-creamy chipotle sauce, and a sweet selection of toppings.

What you get in the bag is the fullest extent of what two singles can get you in a world where everything seems to cost five dollars or more. It's a savory surprise of a dining experience that leaves room for adding another item or two to affordably round out your meal.

The inclusion of fun and frosty sips and the possibility of a creamy dessert makes this selection one of the best-priced deals in the fast food sphere. You can grab a cheeseburger and fries, a chili dog and a sundae, or a soft drink and a few pretzel sticks.

Not that many menus offer soft pretzels with dipping sauce these days. So when we saw these salty bad boys as an option, we doubled up the order and didn't feel bad about it for a second.

Our five bones bought us six sticks the size and shape of hot dogs, swirled in butter like the best pretzels are and served with a side of spicy cheese sauce. The pleasure that this quiet yet confident combo brought our famished souls can't be overstated.

If you're looking for a snack that's different from the pack, DQ is going to treat your right without taking advantage of your financial state. Anything with the word "California" in the name is bound to feel breezy and fun, like a spin through Hollywood by way of Disneyland with a beachside stop-off added for good measure.

While the California Classic Double Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. doesn't quite inspire so much starstruck awe, it does provide a high-quality burger at a modest enough price that you can spend a five-spot and get a fair amount of change back.

This smoky, cheesy double stack sits on the menu among burgers that cost twice and three times as much, even when not part of a combo meal. It's a savory standout that can't help but catch the eye of frugal diners looking for the deal of the day.

The CCDC, as we abbreviate this mouthful of a name, brings the famous Carl's Jr. quality to a simplified burger, which means you get exactly the same level of deliciousness as you would in the chain's pricier items. It may not be loaded up with toppings or feature bacon or onion rings sandwiched between the patties.

But if a quick bite at a cool price is what you're after, Carl's Jr. The broiled patties, Classic Sauce, and grilled onions are a savory combination that's well worth the modest outlay of cash for this burger. Adding a Little Caesars value menu item to the list may seem like a cheat.

This is the home of the Pizza! Deal after all, where ten bucks would get you two pizzas in one go. That was a lot of food for a moderate amount of dough, and though neither the slogan nor the promotion are still around, Little Caesars remains one of the most respectably priced pizza chains in the fast food realm.

But even for makers of cheap pizza, prices are creeping up bit by gooey bit. The only entry on our value menu list that's perfect for price-conscious pizza lovers is Little Caesars' Italian Cheese Bread. This hefty bite comes so close to qualifying as a personal pan cheese pizza that it almost feels wrong to call it a bargain buy.

Still, it's the most moderately priced pizza-like item on the menu, so it's a keeper.

The company was a trailblazer on the scene for its outrageously cheap prices, introducing its famous Hot-N-Ready pizzas back in Little Caesars set itself apart from competitors by making pizza available in stores without customers having to place an order, which simplified operations and cut down on wait time.

Hot-N-Ready pizzas are usually available with a few different toppings including pepperoni and green peppers, with some stores also offering things like jalapeños or black olives.

For decades, Hot-N-Readys at Little Caesars were only five dollars, making it one of the best deals in the fast food industry. For a whole pizza, that's certainly nothing to complain about. To be honest, it's pretty astonishing that Little Caesars has managed to offer such a low price for such a long time.

Little Caesars, we salute your efforts to nourish the masses with pizza at such a bargain. Famous for its Whopper, Burger King is one of the best-known fast-food restaurants in the industry. It has some great deals on its menu and offers many of its items for less than five dollars.

Some of these include the Rodeo Burger, Whopper Junior, and Bacon Double Cheeseburger. The Rodeo Burger stands out because it includes crispy onion rings with a touch of barbecue sauce, and currently costs less than two bucks.

The good news is that the impressive values don't stop there. Burger King also has a few wraps on the menu that are only about three dollars each. The Classic BK Royal Crispy Wrap comes with a fried chicken breast fillet, Burger King Royal sauce which is similar to ranch , tomato, and lettuce in a warm tortilla.

The other variations of Burger King's Crispy Wrap come with chicken glazed in different sauces, including honey mustard and a spicy triple pepper glaze for those who like a little heat. The sides on their menu offer good deals, too. Onion rings, fries, chicken nuggets, and mozzarella sticks all cost only a few bucks each.

When it comes to cheap burgers and other snacks, Burger King definitely has some very solid deals. Like just about every other business in the food industry, Taco Bell's prices have risen in recent years. That said, the company still has some tasty bargains. Many of Taco Bell's menu items cost anywhere between two and three dollars apiece, including its soft or crunchy taco supremes, and spicy potato taco.

Taco Bell's burritos are equally cheap, including its Beefy Crunch Burrito, Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito, and Chili Cheese Burrito. The company's Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito might be one of the best deals on the whole fast-food scene, only costing about a buck or so.

The company's Chicken Enchilada Burrito, made with chicken, shredded cheese, red sauce, seasoned rice, and sour cream, will only set you back a couple of dollars. The Shredded Beef Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco is another great value menu, at a little under four bucks a pop.

The shredded beef in this taco is a big step up from Taco Bell's regular ground beef. Tender and juicy, it makes this a fast-food version of a birria taco.

Other cheap eats include Taco Bell's nacho fries, cheesy fiesta potatoes, beans and rice, and cinnamon twists — all of which only cost about a couple of dollars.

Part of what makes Taco Bell's value truly exceptional is the wide range of low prices that it offers on its menu. While many other fast food joints might only have a handful of deals, Taco Bell feels more generous in its variety of affordable options. Jimmy John's is a popular sandwich chain that sets itself apart from some of its competition by preparing some of the menu's main ingredients in-house.

The company hand-slices its deli meats fresh at each location, makes its ranch dressing from scratch, chops its veggies by hand, and bakes loaves of bread in its stores to ensure ultimate freshness.

Even with good-quality ingredients and attention to detail, Jimmy John's still manages to make much of its menu very accessible in terms of price. In , Jimmy John's rolled out its Little John sandwich line. These sandwiches are a little smaller but sold for a cheaper price, which makes them great for lighter meals and snacks.

Originally, Little Johns were sold for only three dollars apiece, but the price seems to have increased somewhat over the years. Fear not though: Little Johns are still available for only about a couple of dollars more. Still very reasonable, especially compared to some other sandwich chains.

There are seven different Little John sandwiches available on the restaurant's menu. Some of the choices include ham, roast beef, turkey, salami, and a BLT.

There's also a vegetarian sandwich that includes mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado spread, and cheese. If you're in the mood for a good sandwich and you're looking to save a few bucks, the Little John menu should fit the bill. Wendy's has been in the fast food game for generations, having opened its first restaurant in The company cooks its food to order, grills fresh and never frozen beef, and uses seasonal produce in its salads.

Wendy's has some great deals on its menu for both breakfast sandwiches and burgers. One of the best value items at Wendy's is the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. The company first introduced this cheeseburger back in and it's been a staple on the menu ever since.

It only costs a few bucks and comes with a junior hamburger patty and melted American cheese. With its refreshing layers of crunchy lettuce, applewood smoked bacon, slices of sweet tomato, and a creamy spread of mayo, it's almost like a blend of a fast-food burger and a BLT.

The chicken nuggets at Wendy's are also a good choice, and the four- or six-piece orders of them will only set you back a few dollars. Wendy's also has good deals for breakfast, with mix-and-match options for only a few bucks apiece.

These breakfast items include a sausage biscuit, egg and cheese biscuit, seasoned potatoes, and a medium coffee. Between its inexpensive choices for breakfast and burgers, Wendy's is a good call when hunger strikes. Culver's sources its beef, chicken, and dairy from family farms to maximize freshness while supporting the agricultural community.

The company's food has a fresher taste compared to a lot of other fast-food restaurants, and the menu is also a bit more eclectic. At Culver's, you can get everything from fried jumbo shrimp and crispy Atlantic cod to fried cheese curds and Buffalo Chicken Tenders. There are also shredded pot roast sandwiches, grilled corned beef Reubens on buttered rye, hand-breaded pork loin, and corn dogs.

Of course, Culver's also offers classic cheeseburgers and its famous Fresh Frozen Custard with lots of different flavors and toppings.
