Blue Dog Cafe, Luna's, Mama Reta's, Botski's or Pint House Pizzeria for lunch.

Stellar Beans is the only coffee shop that I can think of that may have wifi.

I normally object to it myself when the wife wants to go there, but the food isn't bad.

Also, I second 121.

Luna is ok, but slow

Blue Dog just opened and is getting good reviews, but I haven't been there yet.

Botskys has great hot dogs

Tia Juanitas is pretty good as well.

1910 just opened and has a solid lunch menu with a good burger.

Calla is just outside of downtown but is really, really good (not open on Monday though if you are looking for something today)

I want to say there's a coffee shop (Stellar Beans maybe) on Broad just west of Ryan.

Stellar Beans is a great coffee shop on Broad.

Of the recs that have been given I'd highly recommend Botsky's. Quick service and great food make it an ideal lunch spot. If you don't mind going down Broad street about half a mile then check out Victoria's Taqueria. Best tacos in town. If anyone tells you to go to Casa, punch them in the face.

The best tacos in town are in the taco shop connected to the Exxon gas station on the corner of Enterprise and Broad. About half a block down from Victoria's.

Never had anything at Luna that would constitute a return trip. Just a mediocre grill IMO.

Im n LC for lunch today and this thread has me craving a Dawg or a Taco.

I've been once and found them to be overly greasy. I'll stick to Victoria's

Nah, that's just meat juice running out the back of the taco. Lol

Their green salsa is better than Victoria's too.
