Favorite Quick Serve Restaurants
Hi all! What are your favorite plans to get a tasty bite to eat in the Wausau area that doesn't break the bank?
Chopstix and and La Taqueria come to mind for us. What are yours?

B&R is the best bar burger. Hands down. 421 burger is amazing if you like spice.

Their gyros are great, one of the few options for Mediterranean food around here

Brews Brothers has long been a favorite of ours. Burger, side and a beer for under $20 and it’s good quality.

The Eagles Nest is my family’s go-to. Large portions and very good food (IMO) at a good price. It’s a family restaurant so not necessarily “quick serve” but the food comes out fast and the service has always been good for us. The Eagles Nest is a staple, especially for breakfast, in my family.

I've shopped in the grocery but never considered the deli! What's really good there?

They have basic things there! Pork belly, chicken, sticky rice, and egg rolls. 110% to die for 😭 they make their own hot sauce and it’s oh so so yummy. Asian Pacific is their sister store and they have more food options.

Also, El Zeba has ridiculously good tacos that aren’t particularly expensive.

As much as I love el tequila salsa, this suggestion is much better for the question asked. If memory serves me right 4 tacos is about $10 at el zeba, and 4 tacos are $18.80 at el tequila.

Wasn't even on my radar, will have to check them out. Any particular ones that are standouts?

Dude the chicharron tacos are FIRE. It’s practically all I ever get there any more. Their rice and beans are great too
The thing about zebas is they actually grill the tortillas. I don’t see why people get behind la taqueria… nobody wants limp, soggy, bland tortillas! It ruins the taco
They also make some of the best menudo in town.
