The Lunch Box

If I could give no stars I would.Opened at 10, we arrived at 1020.I'm assuming they opened late as they weren't quite ready for business. The sample dessert was mold on the counter, nothing in the cases, the soda dispenser had no syrup added yet.Our two Mac n cheeses came out after a long wait, and were simply not edible.My friend had the pulled pork Mac n cheese, it was lukewarm and the Mac n cheese was tasteless.I had the gluten free Mac n cheese, not edible. Lukewarm, doughy tortellini stuck under some sort of yellow soupy "cheese" sauce.I asked if anything was made there and was told it was all vendor made.Disgusting. We walked out and left the food sit there.And it was $36.00 FOR NOTHING.Our first and last time there.

I was so excited for this place to open and had high hopes. Sadly, I don't think I will be returning anytime soon which is unfortunate.Menu:They seemed to have a big menu however no paper menu option so trying to search through the menu in line was a bit overwhelming and hard to look through calmly without feeling rushed.Pricing/food: It cost 40$ for a ham and cheese sandwich and two orders of mac and cheese.The ham and cheese sandwich bread was very dry, we thought it was going to come toasted, maybe we needed to ask for that? So that was disappointing. The mac and cheese looked good but arrived luke warm, definitely not worth the price. I thought Panera was expensive, but after eating here it seems super reasonable by comparison with much better food. Coupons:I was able to use 5$ coupon and it still be 40$. Also they had an ad that says" buy one 25$ gift card get one free" but I was told that's only if your purchase that online (which it did say in the fine print) but was disappointing to say the least once we saw the prices. The female owner had come to tell me that, but didn't seem very nice with her delivery. Drink menu was confusing. It was cold inside. A lot of staff present and they had a man walking around the floor which made me feel like I was in a lunch room being watched. Maybe he was to pick up dishes, but not a very comfortable experience.There was a woman walking around cleaning the tables occasionally with a bucket and a rag that she would put back by the window, didn't seem very sanitary. Maybe some of these kinks can be worked out over time, but pricing was super surprising and big deterrent.

I don't understand the reviews! This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Every detail was perfect. It was around $15 for the beef and gravy sandwich, fountain drink, and bag of chips which I felt was slightly high, but definitely worth it after taking my first bite. So so delicious. Soft, perfectly toasted bread. Flavorful tender beef. Gravy good enough to drink. High quality cheese. Everything seems extremely clean, there's plenty of seating, the staff was courteous and attentive, the music is great. I'll certainly be back!

I stopped in for an early dinner around 4pm on a Wednesday and ordered the Beef Temptation sandwich. The service was very quick and my food was great. The sandwich comes with a pickle, chips, and a drink. The interior of the restaurant is clean, updated, with black and white decor. I would recommend this place to others and will go back again.

I REALLY want this place to succeed. It's a great location and the food is decent. However, the prices are incredibly high and the service needs to improve.I ordered their pulled pork sandwich and a bowl of the broccoli cheese soup. The portions were very small. My pulled pork came on a small hamburger bun. At other places, the meat is piled on. The meat barely covered the bun. My soup did not come with a roll and butter (advertised on menu) and I did not get a bag of chips with my sandwich order (advertised on menu). After paying for my order, my total was almost $24. That is without a beverage because that would have been another $4. I know they just opened, but their staff was not very friendly and the cashier was very impatient with an elderly couple in front of me ordering. It was not busy and there were plenty of tables open.The food was decent, but not worth the price for the portions being served. I wish they would have done without the fancy to-go bags and stickers on the styrofoam containers, and passed the savings on to the customer.Again, I really want them to succeed. The interior was clean and it looked like they had some nice bakery items in the cases. I will likely try their food again in a few weeks and hope that the prices have been reduced or the portion sizes increased. At the very least, I hope they have better customer service.

Damn, Damn, Damn! I REALLY wanted to like this place but I was severely underwhelmed. The food "tasted" okay. We had a pastrami sandwich and a BLT. There were VERY few options as far as sandwiches go - I think maybe 5 (BLT, Ham and Cheese, Pastrami, Turkey, and something else....)And can you really call yourself a Deli if you don't have freshly sliced meat in the deli case to choose from? I was very disappointed that they didn't have any fresh salads to choose from. The Pastrami Sandwich ($15.99) came with coleslaw, but my BLT ($9.99) did not. Both came with chips.Both sandwiches came in heavy stock wax/butcher paper and a plastic box, which seems VERY excessive. And the to go bag was a heavy duty bag that I would expect would come from a department store. (Tip: Spend less money on your packaging and pass that savings on to the customer)Service was okay - It did take about 10 minutes to get my two sandwiches - and there was no one in front of me in line and it looked like most people that were sitting in the restaurant had already eaten. The place looks clean and beautiful - and I would be willing to give it another try, but not until they update their menu and get more traditional deli fare!

Food was delicious and portion sizes were excellent, the beef melt is very good! The staff were very friendly and offered help for anything on the menu that needed clarifying. This restaurant is a lovely, diner style place with a great vibe.

First time for breakfast this morning, and I was pleasantly surprised. The breakfast sandwich had a fresh egg, bacon, and American cheese (but the good stuff, not the name brand). I received my order quickly, as it wasn't packed, but for freshly made, it was really quick. For $7.99, it was definitely worth the price. As a heads up, The Lunch Box now has an expanded breakfast menu that I am more than willing to try!Check them out!!

Ordered the veggie sandwich online with no description. I got a sandwich on what seemed to be white wonder bread with coleslaw and a slice of tomato and giardiniera relish. Very disappointed for a $13 sandwich.

My friend waited over 30 minutes for a $13.00 dry sandwich they couldn't even cut in half. She compared it to "something your mom made for the beach but left the mayo off so it wouldn't go bad".I didn't order anything after watching the employees blow air into their gloves to put them on. Disgusting.Also, here is a photo of an employees hair in the ice cream.Will never return.
