School lunch is one of the most underrated things ever. If you forget your lunch one day, it will save your life. There is a variety of food options even for picky eaters like me. There are four lines, each with a different type of food such as Fiesta (Mexican), Ballpark (American), Italian, Asian and Homestyle—all of it is fire. Even if you don’t like something in one line, there are three more options for you to choose from. I recommend everyone try it at least once. That being said, here are my top five school lunches.

Chicken and Waffles
Chicken and waffles is always one of my personal favorites at any place. I am such a breakfast person, so walking into the lunch line and seeing this makes my day. I will pick this over all of the many options.

Mozzarella Sticks
I haven’t had it since last school year, but it will always be one of my top meals. I don’t know how to describe them except that they’re awesome. The Mariana sauce that comes with it is just perfect as well.

Orange Chicken
This is a classic. They used to have these almost every day, but they are slowly disappearing. These are good when it’s an orange chicken type of day.

Nachos
Everyone knows these are a classic school lunch. They unfortunately changed the cheese this year, so now they’re mid. This meal will always be in my heart whether it’s served with plastic cheese or not.

Tostadas
I think they have started serving them this year, and I’m glad. I tried these a month ago, and now, I look forward to Tostada day. I never pack my lunch on these days. If you know, you know.

The cafeteria food may get a bad rap, but maybe you just haven’t tried the right thing. I recommend you try my top 5 to change your mind. If the meat or cheese looks mysterious just pretend it’s Taco Bell or something. They may not be four-course meals, but for how cheap it is, these meals are worth it.
