Two of the Best Cheap Places to Eat in the US are in MN

Going out to eat has gotten insanely expensive. It was expensive before but after inflation... ouch. So when you find a delicious but affordable spot to go out to eat, you hold on to that! Lucky for us, two of the best cheap restaurants in the entire country are in Minnesota.

I feel like whenever I go out to eat I've noticed that burgers are almost always over $15 now at most sit-down restaurants. At certain restaurants, I'm ok with that. If they have a great atmosphere, great service, and the food is good, I'll pay more for a burger. But let's be honest, many of us can't dish out that kind of money for a family of 4 very often!

So if you want to take the family out to eat and not break the bank in the process, consider one of these restaurants in Minneapolis.
