Is there hope for decent cheap food on 13th Ave NE?

Yes, we’ve had the Modern Cafe for quite some time now, but while their food is certainly tasty, it’s also a bit pricy. And I do kind of enjoy 331’s bean tacos, but they get old pretty quickly. My hopes were lifted with the appearance of the Northeast Social Club — but while my fries and okra were served in a red plastic basket, they also came with chard to serve as a “palette cleanser” (?!) and thus were priced accordingly.

Where can I look to when I come home drunk and hungry? Where can I run to when I’m too lazy to cook dinner, but too cheap to pay for a fancy meal? It’s possible I’m being a bit too optimistic, but maybe with their promised “affordable prices” and take-away option, The Anchor will be the one. Keep those fingers crossed…
