Optilang, is the sentence natural in the sense that when you walk into a restaurant, you might say that to express the idea?
Thanks.

Thanks.

For a restaurant I would say:

The food/meals they serve is/are (very) reasonably priced.

I have no idea who was/is selling the food in the original sentences, could be supermarkets
