Atlanta is the third fastest-growing city in America, and not without good reason. It's a vibrant city in the heart of the South where entrepreneurs, artists, and foodies commingle. But does all that cosmopolitan flair mean you'll have to break the bank to get a decent meal? We don't think so. That's why we compiled this list of Cheap Eats Atlanta champions. The best part? You can get a meal at any of these spots for less than $20.

1. Pastrami Sandwich at Grouchy's NY Deli & Bagels

11525 Haynes Bridge Rd. | Alpharetta

New York deli fare makes its way to Georgia in the form of Grouchy's Sandwich: a towering pile of pastrami topped with swiss cheese and mustard. It's like being in the Big Apple, but with more Southern charm.

2. Fried Chicken at Busy Bee Cafe

810 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive NW | Atlanta University Center

Busy Bee Cafe was named one of the best restaurants in Atlanta for soul food by Thrillist, which makes it pretty much the perfect place to grab their classic fried chicken dinner. For just $14, you'll get two pieces of juicy fried chicken plus two veggies and cornbread.

3. Blackened Mango Chicken at Chef Rob's Caribbean Cafe

5920 Roswell Rd. NE | Sandy Springs

Southern cuisine is fantastic, but travel a little farther south into the Caribbean and you'll discover a whole host of new and exciting flavors. That's why we recommend the blackened chicken, whose smoky, spicy punch is nicely complemented by the mellow sweetness of the mango.

4. Smack'n'Cheese Sausage at Delia's Chicken Sausage Stand

489 Moreland Ave SE | North Ormewood Park

Chicken sausage is delicious, but what if you pair it with the ultimate in Southern comfort? Then you get the truly decadent Smack'n'Cheese: link chicken sausage topped with mac'n'cheese and collard greens and a fresh hoagie roll. That's a bite out of heaven, and it's just $7.99.

5. Pizza at Mellow Mushroom

275 Highway 74 | Peachtree City

Though you can't go wrong with the House Special, we think the Kosmic Karma sounds delish with a blend of feta and mozzarella plus sun-dried tomatoes and a pesto swirl. Plus, this place is a fan fave, earning a 4.5-star rating with over 1,000 reviews!

6. Lemon Icebox Pie at The Silver Skillet

200 14th St NW | Home Park

Georgia's famous for its peach cobbler, but it's only really noteworthy during the short peach season when the fruit is in abundance. What do you do the rest of the year? Grab a slice of lemon icebox pie, of course. It's a classic lemon-y custard with a graham cracker and vanilla wafer crust that'll remind you of grandma's home cookin' for just 5 bucks.

7. Dutch Baby at The Original Pancake House

5530 Windward Pkwy | Alpharetta

Never heard of a dutch baby? Then you're in for a treat. The light, airy pancake puffs up in a cast-iron skillet in the oven creating a sweet confection that's part pancake part yorkshire pudding and all delicious.
