But it’s good to know that there are solid offerings in the cheap eats department that will get you fed without breaking the bank. A new Saving Spot report by CashNetUSA has identified the best restaurants for cheap eats in the U.S., and D.C. made the list with a tasty entry.

To determine the best cheap eats restaurants, CashNetUSA ranked budget-friendly eateries by their five-star rating on Yelp in over 500 American cities. A Mediterranean joint in Hampton, New Hampshire, came out on top as the number one cheap eats spot in the U.S. The study reveals the 10 best in the country but then dives deeper and reveals the best cheap eats in every state and then in 15 major U.S. cities.
