If you’ve lived in the Chippewa Valley for any amount of time, you’ll know Altoona Family Restaurant (2000 N. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona). It’s homey inside and out, the food as warm in your belly as the staff are when they greet you. Randy’s Family Restaurant (1132 MacArthur Ave., Eau Claire) also has placed each year since 2017. Randy’s breakfast is a must-have, and if you’ve been to Randy’s, you know their warm pudding is the true cherry-on-top. Chippewa Family Restaurant (1701 Kennedy Road, Chippewa Falls) makes its way to the top three again. Speaking from experience, the eatery’s breakfast skillet category hits the spot every time. –McKenna Scherer
