Where to fill up on cheap eats near Ryerson University
Studying at Ryerson means an almost limitless array of food options, since the campus is in the heart of downtown.
But the abundance of options can make it really tricky to decide where to actually go once lunch time comes around… especially for a spot that’s student-budget friendly.
Here are our picks for cheap eating options around Ryerson:
Yonge Street Warehouse

Patties Express is a takeaway spot with a super simple Jamaican patty menu: Beef (in three spice levels), Vegetarian, and Chicken. Single patties are only $2.09, a combo (two patties and a pop) is $4.88, and it only gets cheaper if purchased by the dozen.

Burrito Boyz
Sometimes, there’s nothing more wholesome than a nutritious fat burrito or loaded quesadilla. Sometimes Chipotle’s double-digit prices can scare students off. To solve that, there’s Burrito Boyz, which offers their burritos for around $8 and less. And there are gluten-free options on deck, too.

North of Brooklyn
Pizza is known to be cheap, but when you’re feeling something that surpasses Pizza Hut, North of Brooklyn offers the greatest of the goods for prices that don’t totally break the bank. All the slices are under $5 and full pies are just under $20. Choose from classics like the Margherita and the Pepperoni, or specials like the Killer Bee made with calabrese sausage, jalapeños, and honey, or opt for the Puttanesca loaded with pecorino, capers, and hand-crushed sauce.

By no means is it a healthy choice, but if you’re headed home after a night out on the town and you need a little carb and grease to soak up the alcohol you’ve consumed, you can’t go wrong. The value menu offers plenty of tummy-filling options for less than $2, and all-day breakfast means you don’t need to wait until morning for a McMuffin.
