The 5 Best Lunches Around Steubenville

A good lunch can reset the day. It’s the pick-me-up between meetings, the quick catch-up with a friend, or the reward after a morning of errands. In the Weirton Daily Times Best of the Best 2025 Readers Choice Awards for the Steubenville area, locals highlighted spots that deliver reliably—menus with range, counter teams that move things along, and food that travels well if you’re headed back to the office. From homestyle plates to Mediterranean favorites, these five make choosing lunch the easiest decision you’ll make today.

Murrays’ Restaurant

This Wintersville classic leans into homestyle comfort. The menu covers hearty breakfasts (served broad hours), hot sandwiches like turkey or beef with gravy, fried cod, burgers, wraps, and rotating chalkboard specials—plus a reputation for homemade desserts that tempt you to linger. It’s the kind of place where the service is quick, the portions make sense, and the price point keeps it in your regular rotation.

Mark’s Carry Out

Part deli, part convenience stop, Mark’s is a lunch lifesaver. Build a sub from the full line of deli meats and cheeses, grab Broaster Chicken or hot-case standards, and round things out with salads or party trays when you’re feeding a crew. Ordering is straightforward—call ahead for speed—and the variety means everyone gets what they want without multiple stops.

Theo Yianni’s

If you’re craving bright, Mediterranean flavors, Theo Yianni’s delivers. Think gyros, Greek salads with grilled proteins, spanakopita, and lighter plates that still feel satisfying. The kitchen balances classics with a few house specialties, and it’s just as easy to dine in as it is to take out when the schedule’s tight.

Basil’s Sports Bar & Grill

Basil’s anchors the workday with a broad lineup: half-pound burgers, wings, hearty sandwiches, and salads that actually eat like a meal. Lunch moves fast here, but you can also stretch it—catch a midday game on TV, split an appetizer, and still make it back to your afternoon with time to spare.

Sweet Temptations Pastry Shop

More than dessert, Sweet Temptations offers soups, salads, and light lunch options alongside its pastry case. That makes it a smart pick when you want something simple and fresh followed by a slice of cheesecake or a cupcake for the road. Keep an eye on updates for daily features and special bakes.
