We’re all going through some tough times now. Finances can be a little tight for some but you still want to get out every now and then for a good meal. Fortunately for you and your wallet, I’ve put together some awesome daily deals for $5 and under that will help you eat cheap and local at the same time.
There are plenty of daily and weekly specials available throughout Wichita but who wants to have to keep track of what day is what special and at what time? The following deals are available everyday the restaurants are open.
====================================
Fried Rice – Daily Special
2419 S. Glendale
Wichita, KS 67210
316-684-9599
The $5 meal deal includes a 16oz container of fried rice (your choice of protein), two eggrolls, and one pop. Make sure to bring cash!
====================================
Kimlan Sandwiches – Every Bánh Mi!
1035 N. Broadway Ave
Wichita, KS 67214
316-558-5137
Every single bánh mi sandwich on the menu is not only delicious but priced from $3.50 to $4.25.
====================================
Sport Burger – Burger & Fries
134 N Hillside St
Wichita, KS 67214
316-683-6503
When it comes to burger price by the ounce, Sport Burger is one of the cheapest in town. You can get a cheeseburger and fries for just $3.58 + tax. What makes it even better is the burgers there are in my top ten favorite around Wichita.
====================================
Tacos Fajita – Tacos
1004 S Meridian Ave
Wichita, KS 67213
316-803-7751
Tacos are a $1.25 every single day. They are complimented by some of the best salsas in town too. I’d recommend you call your order in as well. Five will hit the spot.
==================================
Rene’s Mexican Fast Food – Burritos
677 N Eisenhower St
Wichita, KS 67212
316-945-0991
There are technically three locations. The burritos here are the way to go especially after you’ve been drinking which seems to enhance the flavor.
A popular favorite is the Colorado burrito which runs $4.95.
==================================
Berneal’s Carryout – Cheeseburgers
2403 E 13th St N
Wichita, KS 67214
316-618-1500
They call themselves the home of the 99-cent cheeseburgers. If you’re willing to make the drive to 13th and Grove, there’s a little hole-in-the-wall that serves cheeseburgers about the size of a slider for a penny short of a dollar.
==================================
Kripsy’s Fried Chicken & Seafood – Wings or Chicken
3009 S Hillside St
Wichita, KS 67216
316-765-7470
Want to fill yourself up on some of the best fried chicken in town? You can get 3-pieces ranging from $3.49 – $4.99 or try their 5-piece wings for $4.99. You can’t go wrong with either choice.
==================================
M&M Bierocks – Bierock Meal
2065 E Central
Wichita, KS 67214
316-262-6253
$5 gets you a regular bierock, chips, pickle and a medium drink. Enough to satisfy you for any lunch and help get you through the day.
==================================
Just missing the cut was the teriyaki chicken meal from Japan Express for $5.25. But I had to add that on there because it’s insanely delicious.
Enjoy the deals. Eat cheap. Eat local. Eat good.
Happy Dining,
Eddy
