In between meetings, classes, or for an on-the-go bite, these lunch spots are the best for when you’re short on time. Sliding into first place, Eau Claire Cheese & Deli has hot and cold sandwiches made fresh every day. Grab some chips, a drink, and cheese curds, and you’ve got a full afternoon meal! Acoustic Cafe in downtown E.C. has pitas and hoagies you’ll crave again and again. Make sure to get a Betty Bar, too, for a sweet treat! For some filling Italian classics such as grinders and pasta, Mancino’s Grinders & Pizza will make lunch easy and satisfyingly delicious. —Kelly Carlson
