Good Food Around Lincoln

Affordable prices for students

As we end this semester and step into the warmer summer months, here are some very affordable, nearby places for students and families to enjoy meals together. Some of the best places in Lincoln that I've gone to eat so far that are very affordable are the following: Taco Bell, Wendy's, Subway, Chili's, Starbucks, and Chipotle. These places are really good, in my opinion. They are very affordable for students and a short drive from campus. You could take friends and family to enjoy a nice drink at Starbucks, meals at Chipotle, Subway, Wendy's, Taco Bell, or Chili's. And I know these places might sound like fast food, but don't let that fool you, because they do offer some healthier options for those of you who don't feel like eating fast food.

For those of you who love Chili's or who haven't tried Chili’s, they have a variety of options to choose from, including a black bean burger that comes with fries. And don't get me started on Taco Bell. Who doesn't know and love Taco Bell? They have bean burritos and tacos, and you can pick a burrito bowl and customize it with whatever you desire. Same with Chipotle, they have vegetarian options, and you can also choose to customize a burrito bowl.

And let me not forget my coffee lovers. Starbucks is one of the famously known coffee houses or coffee brands that we all know about. It's easy, affordable, has great coffee and baked goods, so if you didn't want to drink coffee, you could choose from any baked good that they have and a refresher to drink. From mango to strawberry, they have so many drink options to offer.

There are so many great options that you could take your family and friends to enjoy a good cup of coffee, a refresher, a burrito bowl, a regular bean burrito, or a burger and fries. These are some affordable, nearby places I recommend for you to choose from. So take advantage of the warmer days right now, we know that there are so few of them, but hopefully in the coming months it should be warmer. Grab friends or family, or if you just want to be by yourself, that’s okay too. Try some of these places.
