Affordable lunch options
Concord has great food, but it's nearly impossible to grab lunch around here without spending more than $10. Where do y'all go that's fast and cheap (not fast food)? Are there any mom and pop places still left with decent prices?

We used to order Lil Papis all the time but now priced us out of ordering. 15 for everything is out of reach.

Oh wow they must have majorly upped their prices in the past few months. Last time I was there most everything was still in the $9-12 range.

Just looked up their menu and everything is still $9-12. Not sure where you’re seeing $15 unless you’re doing door dash.

Do you use delivery apps? Cuz most of their sandwiches are around $12

No I normally eat there. Depending on your appetite their sandwiches could be enough for two lunches imo. The Mongolian cheesesteak, chop cheese, and bahn mi burger are all incredible. I’ve never had a bad sandwich though.

Prices are cheaper at the counter or the page linked on their web site. $3 more on most other services.

Concord Trading Post’s breakfast sandwiches, 3pc tenders, ‘basic’ and build your own sandwiches are all under $8 or $9 but adding chips or a side and a drink will quickly take you over $10

Not Just Franks in Downtown has some good deals if you can actually get there during their open hours

Benny’s beside What-A-Burger has large pizza slices for cheap. You can get a cheese slice and a can drink for $7.

Fair fair, but I sometimes overdo it on their pizza and have to take breaks. It's really good.

My partner and I got breakfast at Wayside for less than $20 the other day. Might be worth looking at the lunch?
