No surprise to us, the three best restaurants for the whole family each have “family” in their name – they know what they’re doing! For the third consecutive year, Altoona Family Restaurant (2000 N. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona) offers all the comfort food you’re dreaming of – soups, sandwiches, pie, daily specials, and more. Randy’s Family Restaurant (1132 W. MacArthur Ave., Eau Claire) has a huge menu with plenty to please even the most picky eaters, and that warm pudding before the meal always hits the spot. From the same owners as Altoona Family Restaurant, Chippewa Family Restaurant (1701 Kennedy Road, Chippewa Falls) follows suit with similar comfort-food offerings and daily specials. – Briana Novacek
