Trying to find a place to eat on prom that’s affordable, but at the same time has good food, and a nice location? Here are a few ideas.

Jack Allen’s Kitchen: Two locations of this new franchise, which is run by the people who started the popular Z Tejas chain. All food comes from local farms. Also, most entrees are under $15. For the quality of the food, it is a steal. This is a place everyone will love due to its Southwestern flavor.

South Congress Cafe: Another locally owned restaurant, located on South Congress Avenue (not far from the Bob Bullock Museum). Just like Jack Allen’s, South Congress Cafe serves fresh food, and everything comes from local producers. Nice place to go if you’re wanting something fresh and different.

Maggiano’s: This place doesn’t take reservation for large groups, so keep that in mind. However, this is classic Italian food at its finest. The best part about this place is that you can get two meals for the price of one, making you and your date’s meal a lot more affordable. Located in the Domain.
