Where To Find The 'Best Cheap Eats' In Connecticut In 2017

Some errands have taken you out of town for a couple of hours, but now they're all done and you're hungry. You're in an unfamiliar place in Connecticut, and you don't want to spend a lot of money, so where do you go to eat?

You're in luck, because Connecticut Magazine recently found 19 of the state's "Best Cheap Eats," places that will heartily whet your appetite, but won't burn a hole in your wallet.

"Here we take a break from $7 beers and individual-sized specialty pizzas with prices soaring over $20, from wine lists with 200-percent markups over retail, and from establishments where complimentary bread at the start of the meal is a relic of the past," writes authors Erik Ofgang, Michael Lee-Murphy, Mike Wollschlager and Albie Yuravich. "Instead we focus on grab-and-go takeout spots and sit-down eateries, where high-quality food is available for less than $10, and, in some cases, much less."

The four scoured the state to find these spots, which offer everything from delicious desserts and bodacious burgers, to scrumptious seafood to enticing ethnic eats. (To sign up for free, local breaking news alerts from more than 100 Connecticut communities click here.)
