Every high-schooler is constantly looking for the best eats around Stamford. After an excruciating six and a half hours, we build up an incredible craving for food (despite our extended lunch times). Stamford has quite a few restaurants that offer students great food for an affordable price.  Here are three of our favorites:

BK: Although relatively out of the way, Burger King is the quintessential meal for someone that is looking for a quick fix. BK also offers coupons every once and a while that can come in pretty handy. They often offer coupons on combos like two whoppers, two medium fries, and two medium sodas. Burger King is the place you want to go if you are looking for the best bang for your buck.

John’s Pizza: Located just down the road from Stamford High School, John’s Pizza is known by just about everyone in Stamford – especially any Black Knight. Still standing on Grove Street after decades of amazing food, their chicken parmesan never disappoints. Another great deal is their special: two slices of pizza and a soda for $5. If you have practice late after school, John’s is the place to go. Remember that if you’re in a rush, it is well worth it to call in an order at (203) 348-4056.

Fiesta Cove: Fiesta Cove is one of those small restaurants you wouldn’t notice regularly. Despite being practically hidden behind Royal Guard Fish & Chips on Shippan Avenue (another good choice in its own right), this Peruvian restaurant has a fantastic chicken entrée called “Pollo Saltado.”  For $10 you can get grilled chicken, french fries, rice, pepper and tomatoes. The service is very quick and their secret spicy sauce really makes the meal incredible.
