Cafe Plaid

Cafe Plaid's diners go through the line cafeteria-style, but the restaurant is anything but a cafeteria.

The atmosphere is dark and relaxed, the perfect place to go for a long lunch. Plaid offers sandwiches, soups and a variety of salads.

The best part: The sandwiches are served on soft, fresh-baked white or wheat focaccia bread.

Location, phone number: 333 W. Boyd St., 579-7152

Penny Hill Subs

Penny Hill has a small-town feel: a smaller menu, friendly workers and walls that display their Sooner pride with newspaper clippings.

The menu has some typical lunch fare and more unusual options, like the New Orleans sandwich and various club sandwich choices.

Location, phone number: 125 Hal Muldrow Drive, 366-8767

Midway Deli

It's easy to drive past this small neighborhood sandwich stop, but this lunchtime delicatessen is one place you don't want to miss.

Sometimes mistaken for an old gas station and sometimes considered a quick stop, Midway Deli has provided Normanites with fresh meats, cheeses, salads and soups -- not to mention a neighborhood butchery -- for more than 50 years.

Location, phone number: 601 Eufala St., 321-7004
