This week, I am sharing my favorite places to grab lunch. Nothing fancy. Just places I love. I picked all chain restaurants because I am pretty sure that no one cares that I like the local coney island that is around the block from my office. But really, you should all come there and have some of their chicken lemon rice soup. Amazing. But anyways, on to the best casual(*) lunch places I know.
Zoup!
Pretty much the only place I ever order a shake. Well, PotBelly and In N’ Out Burger when I go somewhere that has one. The chocolate oreo shakes are the best and I love that you can order a skinny there because sometimes you just don’t want all that bread!
I love make your own salad places and I love that I live so close to one. I really like Salad Creations because they charge you based on the number of ingredients/toppings you get rather than by weight. And I also love that they chopped up your salad and mix the dressing in.
Panera is my favorite place to go to lunch with Lucas. He loves the yogurt tubes and apples and I love that there are so many different bread choices! I also love their rewards program. It always seems like we are getting something for free, and I sure do love free stuff!
Grand Traverse Pie Company
So what are your favorite lunch places? I’d love to hear so I can try them out!
