You want some lunch but you’re short on time – where do you turn? If you’re in downtown E.C., Acoustic Café (505 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire) is a classic. Pair a hot hoagie (with all the fixings) with a cup of beer cheese soup, and you’ll be fueled up for the rest of the afternoon. Eau Claire Cheese and Deli (1636 Harding Ave., Eau Claire) has fresh, hearty sandwiches with lots of customizable options in their popular shop. If you’re looking for a hot, toasty grinder or a slice of pizza at lunchtime, you’ll never leave hungry at Mancino’s Grinders & Pizza (2295 Brackett Ave., Eau Claire)! –Briana Novacek
