Best Comfort Food

Comfort food = breakfast all day, big slices of pie, and hearty portions. Altoona Family Restaurant (2000 N. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona) delivers all that and more. In a similar vein, Randy’s Family Restaurant (1132 W. MacArthur Ave., Eau Claire) has a team of charming waitstaff and some of the best warm vanilla pudding. If you’re more comforted by a Farmburger or a Braht Mi, Live Great Food Truck is your go-to spot. — Briana Novacek
