When ‘brown bagging it’ loses its charm or you run out the door and leave your sandwich on the counter, finding a deal for lunch is your first priority. Of course, most restaurants have lunch menus complete with price specials, but taking a page from the deal Subway made famous (RIP), we accepted a challenge to find lunch prices in the neighborhood of $5-$7. (Because of inflation.) Of course, as usual, we like to try and stick with local businesses as much as possible so most of the restaurants listed are Wichita-owned and operated so that you can support our city!

Taco Pronto Closed on West Central only one left open is on West 21st
Oh, you’re right. Thanks for pointing out that it’s still in there!
I think DeFazzio’s has closed due to staffing issues.
Oh no. You’re right – I see that now. How disappointing! Thanks for letting us know. 🙁
Are not all 5 Popeye locations in Wichita not honoring the deal?
It was a bad day for counting on my end, it seems. 🙂 Yes, this is good at all five locations.
