How to Eat Out On a Budget
Before we get into the list of restaurants, I wanted to talk more about how we can make eating out possible for those of us on a budget!
Not to toot our own horn here, but we do have half-off gift cards to restaurants that you can find at Seize the Deal. That's a good option!

They also suggest ordering family-style. If the portion sizes are big enough, then order one plate to share between two people.
And finally, if you're trying to stay on a budget while eating out, it's best to stick to water and not order any of those fancy, expensive drinks.
