Great (Cheap) Places for High School Students to Eat Lunch in Boise, Idaho

Lunch is not only a daily routine for most everyone, but it is also a social opportunity. For teenagers in high school out for a brief escape and for adults taking a break from a schedule packed full of meetings, the lunch hour is the best time-out from our obligations. Here are some cheap but delicious options in Boise for you to choose from.

Blue Sky Bagels - Located at 407 W. Main St., "The Treasure Valley's Premiere Bagel Shop" has a whole menu to offer, with all items running under $5. Order from 15 different bagels and 5 kinds of cream cheese (which comes on your bagel free of charge), there are a variety of combinations to create. Bagels with cream cheese will run you less than $1.50. Choose to substitute the classic cream cheese with a selection of 10 meats for a bagel sandwich that is a great lunch fix and will cost you less than $5.00.

Cobby's Sandwich Shop - Founded in 1978, Cobby's Sandwich Shop has three locations in Boise. 1030 Broadway Ave., 4348 Chinden Blvd. Garden City, and 6899 Overland Rd. Cobby's sandwiches will run you from under $6.00 for a 4 inch to $14.00 for a 16 inch, but don't forget to check for their daily specials which come at a discount. You can even call ahead to ask what their daily special is to see if it's worth the trip out.

Guidos Pizzeria - Claiming to have original New York style pizza, Guidos has two locations. 235 North 5^th Street and 12375 Chinden Blvd., Suite G in Garden City.

Classic pictures of the Rockefeller building and current baseball standings decorate the small room, and you can walk away with any slice you like for under $2.50. You can also order a whole pizza for under $13.00, but allow a half hour to an hour before it'll be ready.
