As students become Juniors and Seniors at Mariemont High School, they are given the privilege to leave campus for lunch. But where to go? Here are a variety of local options, ranked best to worst. The rank is based on a combination of taste, convenience and overall satisfaction rate. 

1. Skyline: This Cincinnati favorite is a fantastic option, and affordable for a teenagers budget. The only downside of this choice is that sometimes they can have a busy lunch rush. Rank: 10/10. Location: 5816 Wooster Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45227
2. Chipotle: Another good option is Chipotle. This restaurant has a fantastic order ahead system, which helps if you are in a time crunch. Rank 7/10. Location: 6213 Wooster Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45227
3. Panera: If you’re looking for a healthier option, then Panera is a good choice. This restaurant also has a good online ordering option. My recommendation is a mac and cheese, either size is good. Rank: 6.5/10. 7510 Wooster Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45227
4. Kroger: It is the perfect choice because they have really any food you want. The only downside is that if you’re looking for a hot lunch, then they lack a variety of options. Rank: 6/10. 7385 Wooster Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45227
5. Mcdonalds: Coming in last is Mcdonalds. The line is usually always long, and more times than not your order will be messed up. Rank: 5/10. Location: 7337 Wooster Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45227
