Sold by-the-slice, the pizza couldn’t be more affordable. The menu includes a slew of other inexpensive eats, including sandwiches, which are sold in whole and half sizes. Check out the full menu on the Vino’s website. Vino’s, 923 W 7th St, Little Rock, AR 72201, USA
- The Shack (Jessieville)

And though the prices have increased over the years, they’re still lower than most, and if anything, on par with fast food restaurants. Visit The Shack’s Facebook page to learn more. The Shack, 7901 N State Hwy 7, Jessieville, AR 71949, USA
- 641.Deli (Fayetteville)

Fayetteville Public Library/Facebook Thanks to the opening of 641.Deli in the Fayetteville Public Library, you can simultaneously satisfy your need for knowledge AND need to eat. Serving up a traditional deli fare, the menu features hot sandwiches, wraps, soups, and sides. Even better, nothing on the menu is over $10! For more info on the deli, including its menu, head on over to the library’s website. Fayetteville Public Library, 401 W Mountain St, Fayetteville, AR 72701, USA
- Yulianita’s Mexican Restaurant (Rogers)

John/Google Between its unassuming appearance and shopping center locale, it’d be easy to pass up this Rogers restaurant, but you don’t want to do that! Over the years, it’s garnered a reputation for its authentic Mexican food – all of which is made from scratch and, most importantly, affordable. The tasty grub hasn’t gone unnoticed, either. Southern Living named it among the South’s best cheap eats. You can learn more about Yulianita’s on its Facebook page. 2515 N 17th St, Rogers, AR 72756, USA
- Oscar’s Café (Eureka Springs)
Oscars Café/Facebook
Oscars Café/Facebook Another top-rated spot for cheap eats, Oscar’s Café serves breakfast and lunch as well as a slew of homemade treats. The café is open seasonally, so make sure to check the Oscar’s Café Facebook page prior to visiting. Oscar’s Cafe, 17 White St, Eureka Springs, AR 72632, USA
