Five popular places to eat during a lunch free:
Panera Bread
Price: $$
Distance: Within five miles
Panera is a good option if you want a quick and healthy meal. You can also take advantage of the atmosphere to get some studying done. Make sure you try out the “You Pick Two” deal.
Five Guys
Price: $$
Distance: Within five miles
If you’re looking for a greasy burger, step on over to Five Guys. The best part of Five Guys is the peanuts. You can never go wrong with those. That and the cool drink machine.
Chipotle
Price: $
Distance: Within 10 miles
Chipotle is the most common lunch spot for WHS students. You can never go wrong with a burrito or a bowl.
Natalie’s
Price: $
Distance: Within five miles
Natalie’s is a great restaurant to visit if you’re looking for quality pizza. It’s a fairly quick ride from the high school and if you hurry, will only take one lunch.
Wayland Deli
Price: $$
Distance: Within five miles
The Deli is the best place to eat in North Wayland. Even though it is more expensive than Subway, the subs are better, and the Deli has a better option of snacks. If you go, make sure you get the Siberian Train Wreck.
Five places to try that you probably would never think of for a lunch free:
Boston Market
Price: $$
Distance: Within 10 miles
It’s not a common destination for high school students, but the workers at Boston Market make a great chicken. You get a full American meal complete with corn bread and two sides of your choice. Very underrated lunch spot.
Smashburger
Price: $$$
Distance: Within 10 miles
Even though it is more expensive, Smashburger is a better alternative to Five Guys. The burgers and fries are better, and they have delicious shakes!
Brooklyn Water Bagels
Price: $$
Distance: Within 10 Miles (located next to Boston Market)
Some of the best bagels around. They give Brueggers a run for their money with fresh New York style bagels and soft delicious muffins. If you are a bagel lover, we highly recommend you give BWB a try.
Kelly’s
Price: $$$
Distance: Around 10 miles away
An interesting restaurant located inside Jordan’s Furniture, Kelly’s is a great place to go if you’re looking for something different to try. Predominantly a seafood restaurant, Kelly’s is also known for its delicious roast beef sandwiches. We recommend getting a roast beef sandwich as well as some type of fried seafood dish.
Sarku Japan
Price:$$
Distance: Within 10 miles
Located in the Natick Mall food court, Sarku is a great place to eat at if you’re looking for a quick Asian meal. With a tray that consists of your choice of rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, what’s not to love? If you are a fan of Asian food, we would highly recommend giving Sarku Japan a try.
