The Best Cheap Eats in Sonoma County

Looking for a bargain meal? Here are 20 tried-and-true favorites.


Looking for a bargain meal in Sonoma County? Sure, there are plenty of usual suspects (taco trucks, fast food) but we spent some time digging a little deeper for some surprisingly delicious picks at restaurants of all stripes — from an Ethiopian vegetable sampler to barbecue, burgers and much more.

Cheap, of course, is pretty subjective. My rubric includes value, quality and quantity. There are also some towns–like Healdsburg–where affordable food can be a challenge to find unless you eat fast food. I’ve personally eaten at all of these spots (and for the most part all of the dishes) and feel pretty confident in my recommendations. Enjoy!
