Eating well doesn't have to break the bank. Atlanta has lots of expensive meals, but it has about as many delectable cheap dishes.

Before you go out and spend a bunch of money on a pricey dinner date, vote and see where your fellow Atlantans like to go for somewhere delicious and cheap.

Don't see one of your favorite affordable dishes here? You can submit a write-in nominee by emailing stephanie.toone@ajc.com.

If you're still craving free food, there are Georgia restaurants where your meal is free if you eat it all. There are also non-pricey options to satisfy your taco cravings or need for something surprising and overlooked.

But don't just take it from us. Let Atlanta chefs recommend cheap eats.
