Milwaukee's better than most for downtown eating. First off there's the Spiesgarten in the downtown mall itself -- a better than average collection of fast food stands. Right along the river is John Hawks Pub. A block or so north there's the Wells Street Deli (I think that's the name) and the King and I (Thai) though I don't know if their lunch is any good. Go up 4th and you can get German food at Maders or if you head east across the river at Karl Ratschs. North up Water Street is Brew City BBQ. East on Kilbourn (?) is Szechuan House.
        That's all I can think of in the immediate downtown area.

You don't say what kind of lunch you are looking for, but Watt's Tea Room (on Jefferson, I think) is a classic place for lunch while shopping. It is on the second floor of a shop that has outstanding crystal, china, etc. An earlier post pointed out two German restaurants in the area, but omitted the best. If you want German food, John Ernst on Ogden is the best in the area.

Enjoy.

For the true Milwaukee experience take a cab to the nearest George Webb's restaurant.  Bon Apetit!
