Betty, Betty, Betty. For the third year in a row, Betty at Houligan’s Steak & Seafood Pub has been voted the No. 1 server in the Chippewa Valley. Folks not only know her by name due to regular patronage at the local eatery but also for her superb service and friendliness. Antoine Hill at C&T’s Soul Food (963 W. Clairemont Ave., Eau Claire) is a friendly face to all who pop into that eatery, with folks often commenting on his personable service and genuine friendliness. Denise Bustamante at The Good Wives (Eastridge Center) has been workin’ the groovy brunch and dinner spot since it opened in 2022, and for more than a decade throughout the local food scene. She’s well-known for her kind smile and on-point service. —McKenna Scherer
