The restaurants of La Crosse, Wisconsin, have risen to the challenge of providing their customers with the state’s best takeout. Here are just a few of our favorite restaurants that offer top-notch, delicious takeout.

1. Grounded Patio Cafe

Grounded Patio Cafe is one of our favorite places to start the day off right, but it also serves up some of the best lunch you’ll find in town. In the morning, order coffee made your way from the cafe’s full coffee bar and try one of the menu’s egg sandwiches for breakfast. The Hearty Hummus with provolone and hummus on an English muffin is a great choice. Grounded Patio also has some of the best wraps and paninis you’ll find in La Crosse if you’re looking for a midday pick-me-up.

2. Coney Island Station

Sometimes, you just have to get a round of chili dogs from Coney Island Station. This hot dog haven has a few locations around town to choose from, so place an order to go from the one nearest you for a hot dog meal at home. This restaurant’s no-nonsense, affordable menu is one of the best ways to fill up the whole family. Order a plain dog for $1.59 or top it with chili for the same price. Throw some cheese and onions on there to do Coney Island right.

3. Flipside Pub

If you’re looking for something with a little more substance, place your order at Flipside Pub. This restaurant’s bar-style food is sure to hit the spot. Try the California Cheese Burger, an Olive Burger, or the classic Reuben if you’re looking for a decent sandwich. You’ll also find chicken strip baskets, tasty wraps, salads, and even chicken stir-fry at this favorite local eatery.

4. Fathead Steve’s

Whether you order from the food truck or the newer restaurant, Fathead Steve’s is an excellent place to get takeout for lunch. This mom-and-pop restaurant specializes in interestingly delicious sandwiches, including the Vietnamese pulled pork, Cubano, and Prime Rib Philly Melt sandwiches. If you’re not feeling those, try the different quesadillas Fathead Steve’s has or the Fried Duck on Greens salad. This restaurant’s friendly atmosphere is almost as inviting as the food that comes out of its kitchen.

5. Iguana’s Mexican Street Cafe

Iguana’s should be one of your go-to Mexican food destinations, takeout or otherwise. The authentic Mexican items you’ll find on this restaurant’s menu are sure to satisfy. From tortas and carnitas to elote and various kinds of burritos, there’s something for everyone at Iguana’s Mexican Street Cafe. If you’re looking for a Taco Tuesday destination that serves more than ground beef and fried shells, Iguana’s blue corn tortillas filled with real meat and real vegetables are the only way to go.

Whether you’re in the mood for six hot dogs or some great stir-fry, La Crosse’s restaurants have you covered. As we mentioned, these are just a few of the local businesses in the city that offer great takeout. Start exploring to find your next go-to spot.
