Altoona Family Restaurant continues to be the Valley’s coziest spot to grab a bite of comfort food, winning this category for an astonishing 14th consecutive year! With comforting food and a family-friendly atmosphere, you can’t go wrong with their classics. Plus, they always give you extra butter. Staying in second place another year, Randy’s Family Restaurant has been serving the area since the ’90s, and continues dishing up goodies that keep people coming back. Climbing to third place for a first-time top three appearance, C&T’s Soul Food (963 W. Clairemont Ave., Eau Claire) truly feeds the people’s souls. They serve up all things deep-fried and delicious with entrees, sandwiches, and brunch, too. —Kelly Carlson
