The Top 10 Cheap Eats In Boston
It is a common misconception that eating cheap needs to mean eating poorly, especially in a food-focused city such as Boston. What follows is a list of the 10 best restaurants for dining on a budget, complete with enticing flavors and interesting culinary creativity.
1. Tasty Burger
Tasty Burger
Tasty Burger is a local chain of retro hamburger joints that offer some of the most delicious inexpensive hamburgers in Boston. Look to spend under $6 for a 1/3 pound all-natural beef patty, or a turkey or veggie patty for dieters. Their all-beef hot dogs are also great, especially after a game at the nearby Fenway Park. As a popular late night destination, Tasty Burger has made a name for itself in town due to its fast service, great food and – above all – low prices!

For some of the best pizza by the slice, head to the north end, and to Galleria Umberto. Known for their “Sicilian squares”, this eatery maintains a quiet profile in the neighborhood, although their reputation is very high among people in-the-know. Try the arancini, fried rice balls, panzarotti, or patoto and chive filled pastries – they are all delicious!
