Cheap Eats in Mississauga: What Dinner Costs for One, Two or a Family

Cheap eats in Mississauga start at $5 for one person, about $10 each for two and under $8 a person for a family of four, based on the deals we tracked as of November 7, 2026. Tuesday is the night that helps every group size: it has the most live deals in the city and 3 of its 7 kids-eat-free offers.

Our Mississauga restaurant deals page lists 309 live deals at 73 restaurants on that date. This guide sorts them by who is eating: one person on $10 or less, two people splitting a fixed-price dinner, and a family of four choosing between a takeout bundle and a kids-eat-free night. Prices are before tax, tip and any drinks a deal requires, and branch counts are the Mississauga locations we track.

Cheap eats in Mississauga for one: which meals cost $10 or less?

As of November 7, 2026, 29 Mississauga restaurants have a verified deal at $10 or less. Most are add-ons, snacks, drink specials or offers tied to a second purchase (such as an entrée that needs game credits), so we kept only complete meals: a main with a side or a drink, or a full breakfast plate. Six run all day, every day, so they work for dinner:

None of the six needs an app, and Pizza Pizza's $5 is walk-in only, so it does not apply to delivery. The other four complete meals are weekday breakfasts, dine-in only and not on holidays, each at every Mississauga branch we track:

• Sunset Grill: 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 bacon or sausage, $6.99 until 11 AM (7 locations).
• Wimpy's Diner: 3 eggs, home fries and toast, $6.99 until 10 AM (1).
• Stacked: two-egg breakfast, $7.99 from 7 to 9 AM (3).
• Eggsmart: breakfast with bottomless coffee, $9 until 10 AM (5).

Some nights add a cheaper solo dinner on top of the six every-day meals:

• Monday: Quesada's El Grande Qrunch is $9.99 at both Mississauga locations, and The Canadian Brewhouse on Argentia Road has $9.99 dry ribs (dine-in, with a drink purchase).
• Tuesday: Taco Bell tacos are $2 each, but only on online or app orders for pickup or delivery. The Canadian Brewhouse sells $3.99 tacos, dine-in with a drink.
• Wednesday: Canadian Brewhouse wings are 69 cents each, with a minimum of 10 per order and one drink purchase, dine-in only.
• Saturday: Lazeez Shawarma's regular poutine starts at $9.49 at all 3 Mississauga locations, which also have student specials from $5.49 every day.
• Sunday: The Canadian Brewhouse has 8-inch two-topping pizzas for $9.99, dine-in with a drink.

All 81 live under-$15 deals are on the Mississauga deals under $15 page, and morning offers are on the breakfast restaurants in Mississauga page. Next door, cheap eats in Toronto, from $5 slices to late-night meals covers the Toronto branches of these chains plus lunch and after-9 PM deals.

Which day has the most deals in Mississauga?

Tuesday, with 212 live deals as of November 7, 2026, ahead of Monday and Wednesday (205 each). The first column includes every-day deals; the other three count only restaurants with an offer on that specific day.

Tuesday is the one night with something for every group: $2 tacos for one, Swiss Chalet's 2 Can Dine for two, and three kids-eat-free offers for families. Wednesday is the night for couples, with 4 restaurants running a deal for two. Under-$10 options fall to 2 restaurants on Saturday and Sunday because the weekday breakfast specials drop out, and Saturday has no day-specific kids-eat-free offer at all.

Cheap dinner for two in Mississauga: what does it cost per person?

As of November 7, 2026, 9 Mississauga restaurants have a verified deal built for two. We divided each price by two; tax, tip and drinks are extra unless the deal includes them.

Swiss Chalet is the only fixed-price deal under $15 a person, and the only one in the table you can also take home; it runs at all 6 Mississauga locations we track until December 27, 2026. Swiss Chalet and East Side Mario's both require two drinks, so add those before you compare them with Papa Giuseppe's $75 or Cagney's Wednesday pasta, which already include a bottle of wine.

Two more offers are discounts rather than set prices. Denny's Family Night takes 50% off a second Family Night menu item of equal or lesser value on Wednesdays from 3 to 10 PM (dine-in), which on two same-priced entrées cuts the food bill by a quarter. Lionheart British Pub gives a second breakfast plate free with one plate and two drinks on Saturdays and Sundays. The full list is on the two-can-dine deals in Mississauga page.

Which nights do kids eat free in Mississauga?

Tuesday and Sunday, with 3 restaurants each, as of November 7, 2026. Seven Mississauga restaurants have a verified kids-eat-free offer, and every one is dine-in only. Most tie the free meal to an adult entrée, so the table shows what the adult has to order.

Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday have no day-specific offer, so Mandarin's buffet pricing is the only kids deal on those nights. Swiss Chalet's Wednesday offer ends December 27, 2026, and Kelseys and East Side Mario's exclude groups of 8 or more kids. Every offer is on the kids eat free deals in Mississauga page; the rest of the Kelseys week is in Kelseys specials by day, and families near the city line can compare kids eat free nights in Toronto by chain and day.

Cheapest way to feed a family of four in Mississauga

A takeout bundle costs the least; a kids-eat-free night is the cheapest way to sit down. As of November 7, 2026, 26 Mississauga restaurants have a verified family deal, and these are the fixed-price bundles that feed four, split four ways:

Pizza Nova's Big Deal is the only bundle here with a drink for each of four people, which makes it the cheapest complete takeout dinner; the Texas Chicken pack costs less but is chicken only. Swiss Chalet's Classic Family PAK is the cheapest bundle that is not pizza. More pizza bundles are on the pizza restaurants in Mississauga page and the Mississauga family deals page.

A kids-eat-free night comes close to the takeout price. At Kelseys on a Tuesday, two adult entrées at the $18.99 minimum plus the $2 donation that goes with each free kids meal put dinner for four at about $42, or roughly $10.50 a person before drinks, tax and tip. East Side Mario's comes to about $40 (two entrées at its $19.99 minimum, no donation in its terms). Mandarin costs more: two adults with two kids aged 5 to 12 pay three adult buffet prices ($37.99 each at a Monday-to-Thursday dinner, about $114 in all), and with two kids aged 4 and under only the two adults pay.

Swiss Chalet is the one chain here with a deal for two, a kids night and a family bundle, all at the 6 Mississauga locations we track.

A week of cheap dinners in Mississauga

One plan, three group sizes. Every pick runs on that night as of November 7, 2026.

For one, the two Canadian Brewhouse nights need dine-in and a drink at its Argentia Road branch, and Tuesday's tacos need an online or app order. For two, Saturday's pizza works out to about $10 each, and on weekend mornings Lionheart's second breakfast plate is free with one plate and two drinks. The family column eats in on the three kids-eat-free nights and at Mandarin's buffet on Monday, and orders takeout Thursday to Saturday, when no restaurant has a day-specific kids offer.

Which Mississauga deals run at only one location?

These picks run at the only Mississauga branch we track, so check the address before you go:

• Meadowvale: Lionheart British Pub (3221 Derry Rd W) for the weekend 2-for-1 breakfast, and The Canadian Brewhouse (3015 Argentia Rd) for the solo specials.
• Streetsville: Cagney's Steakhouse & Winebar (128 Queen St S) for Sunday kids eat free and the Wednesday and Friday dinners for two.
• Port Credit: Papa Giuseppe's (26 Lakeshore Rd E) for the dinner for two with wine.
• Erin Mills / Sheridan: Keenan's Irish Pub (1900 Dundas St W) for Sunday kids eat free.
• Heartland: East Side Mario's (5855 Rodeo Drive) for Tuesday kids eat free and the Thursday dinner for two.
• Dixie / Applewood: Stanfield Grill House (2345 Stanfield Rd) for the Friday halibut.
• Toronto Pearson Terminal 3: the only Fionn MacCool's we track in Mississauga, so its Wednesday dinner for two is at the airport.

At the other end, Sunset Grill (7 locations), Swiss Chalet (6) and Eggsmart (5) run every deal in this guide at all of their Mississauga branches.
