Cheap Eats in Edmonton: A $10 Dinner for Every Night of the Week

Cheap eats in Edmonton start at $5 for a sandwich and $6 for a full meal: Church's Texas Chicken's Real Deal Meal pairs a piece of chicken, a slider or a tender wrap with a regular side and a drink, every day, at both Edmonton locations we track. As of November 7, 2026, we count 245 live deals at 69 Edmonton restaurants, and 27 of those restaurants have a verified deal at $10 or less. Tuesday is the cheapest night to plan around, with the most deals of any day (177) and 7 offers at $10 or less that run that night only.

The full list of Edmonton deals has every offer; this guide ranks the cheapest meals for one, shows which nights carry the most deals, builds a Monday-to-Sunday dinner plan in which every first pick costs $10 or less, and covers lunch under $15, food after 9 PM and how chains compare with local spots. Prices are in CAD before tax.

Where can you get cheap eats in Edmonton for $10 or less?

We took every verified Edmonton deal at $10 or less that buys a meal or a main dish for one person, and left out drinks, add-ons, value menus, per-piece prices (tacos, wings, sashimi), multi-item minimums and offers that end within 2 weeks. These are the 8 lowest prices.

By that measure the $6 Church's meal is the best value: it is the cheapest pick whose listing spells out a side and a drink. 6 of the 8 run every day, so they cover the nights the one-night deals skip, and none needs a drink order on top.

The next tier, at $9.99 to $10, is crowded: The Canadian Brewhouse dry ribs (Mondays) and 8-inch two-topping pizza (Sundays), both dine-in with a drink purchase; Quesada's El Grande Qrunch (Mondays) and Q Meal Box (every day, from $9.99); the MR MIKES lunch menu (from $9.99, until 4 PM); The Common's $10 poutine (Wednesdays, dine-in); and Taco Bell's Luxe Boxes from $10, which bundle tacos, a burrito, sides and a drink, with prices that vary by location.

Three more ways to pay less come with a catch. Quesada Qlub members get a $5 regular burrito after a first visit with a $10 minimum spend; Domino's Mix & Match is $8.99 per item but only with 2 or more items in the order; and the Taco Bell Luxe Value Menu (from $1.99) sells single items rather than meals. Every Edmonton deal under $15 and the fast-food deals in Edmonton list the rest.

Which day has the most deals in Edmonton?

Tuesday. As of November 7, 2026, 137 of Edmonton's 245 live deals run every day, so the difference between nights comes from the deals that run only part of the week. Tuesday has 40 of those; Saturday has 14.

The last column is the one to plan around. Friday and Saturday have no Edmonton deal at $10 or less that runs on that night alone, so on those nights the every-day picks in the table above do the work. Each day page lists every deal for that night, including the every-day ones.

Using the first pick each night (one mini burger on Thursday, the $6.99 starting price at Mary Brown's on Saturday), the week costs $53.96 before tax, tips and the 2 drinks The Canadian Brewhouse requires. Its deals run at all 4 Edmonton locations we track; the chain excludes its Edmonton International Airport branch. Its Wednesday wings carry a 10-wing minimum, so the smallest order is $6.90 plus the drink. At Brewsters, dip costs $1.50 extra.

Tuesday is also taco night: Taco Bell ($2, pickup or delivery ordered online or in the app), On The Rocks ($3 from 5 PM), The Canadian Brewhouse ($3.99 with a drink) and The Common ($4.50) all have one, and Edmonton taco deals lists them.

Cheap lunch in Edmonton: which lunch deals are under $15?

As of November 7, 2026, 14 Edmonton restaurants we track have a verified lunch deal. Leaving out value menus, a loyalty-points offer, a free sub that needs a footlong and a drink, and a meal deal that ends November 15, these 9 buy one person's lunch for $15 or less.

Boston Pizza's $15 Fast Lunch is the only one whose listing spells out a main, a side and a drink, and dine-in orders come with a promise: ready in 20 minutes or your next lunch is free. The Denny's $10.99 Lunch Club needs a regular-priced beverage on top, so compare the two after adding a drink. Ricky's All Day Grill sits just over the line at $15.50 for a lighter main and a side, weekdays from 11 AM to 4 PM. Boston Pizza's specials by day covers the dine-in extras its Alberta restaurants add on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

MR MIKES is the only sit-down lunch from $9.99 that runs 7 days a week, at all 3 Edmonton locations we track, and its Happiest Hours return at 8 PM.

The full list is on Edmonton lunch deals.

Where to eat cheap in Edmonton after 9 PM

As of November 7, 2026, 15 Edmonton restaurants we track have a verified late-night deal, 17 deals in all. Most are second happy-hour windows that open at 9 PM, a few at 8 PM. 6 of the 15 list only drinks or no prices and Harvey's is app-only takeout, so the table keeps the 8 with food prices and adds 4 restaurants whose late happy hour sells food from $4 or less: 1ST RND, St. Louis, CRAFT Beer Market and Ricky's. Every one below is dine-in only, sorted by the lowest food price listed:

The Next Act is the one built around late night rather than a happy hour: its Curtain Call menu is 6 snacks at $8 each from 9 PM to close, Sunday to Thursday, in Old Strathcona. For takeout, Harvey's runs app-only combos after 8 PM for pickup or Harvey's delivery; Harvey's and other chains' app-only deals compared shows when an app download pays off.

Chains or local spots: who has Edmonton's cheapest deals?

Of the 27 Edmonton restaurants with a verified deal at $10 or less, 22 are chains and 5 are independents: 1ST RND, On The Rocks, The Common, Japonais Bistro and The Next Act. Compared on the same terms, they work differently:

• When: none of the 7 independent deals runs all day every day; each is tied to a night or a time window. 18 of the 22 chains have one that runs every day.
• How: all 7 independent deals are dine-in only, while 12 of the chains have one you can take out.
• Drink purchase: the only deals at $10 or less that require one are The Canadian Brewhouse's dry ribs, pizza, tacos and wings. No independent deal lists one, though The Common is an 18+ venue.
• Price per piece: chains have the lowest, with wings at Brewsters (from 49 cents on Tuesdays) and The Canadian Brewhouse (69 cents on Wednesdays, 10 minimum) and $2 Taco Bell tacos on Tuesdays. The local per-piece deals are Japonais Bistro's $1 salmon sashimi, ordered in multiples of 6 ($6 for six), and On The Rocks' $3 tacos on Tuesdays and $3 mini burgers on Thursdays.

A chain counter is the every-night fallback; the local deals pay off when you pick the right night.
