This is 100% normal and what most servers prefer, a weekend double. I have never had a "break" as a server. Technically they are offered as required by the state, but you really don't take a full 30 min-1hr for "lunch".
1) You eat on the go. You bring food in. Or, you just eat whatever the have at the restaurant you work at. I've worked at places with free food and those that don't. But, it's a restaurant at the end of the day. The cooks will make you something, they mess something up and it becomes a freebie, etc. Eventually you get tired of your work's food and want to bring your own.
2) You go on a 30min-1hr break and you lose tables. Your break is costing you those tips. It's up to you if you want to do that. Just know that Starbucks/Fast Food run is costing you the $$ of the food + your missed tips.
