When you want good food at bargain prices, you don't worry about fancy service or atmosphere. Chris Sherman designates Nibbler favorites where you can eat happily for $10 or less as Cheap Thrills.

Dockside Dave's

Grouper sandwich here will take most of a ten spot, but it's well spent, just for the slice of tomato, which is big, red, ripe and juicy. Main event is fresh black grouper, cut in half-pound fillets that spill over any bun. Anything that drops into hot oil is transformed; spend your fat quotient on the onion rings, fries and shrimp here. 13203 Gulf Blvd., Madeira Beach; (727) 392-9399.
