Lunch Box Express

These awesome folks did our wedding catering! They created a super cute menu for a Lord of the Rings themed buffet + offered bartending services, which our venue required. They worked with my tight budget and were very responsive to my many emails. During the wedding, they took care of our guests while we mingled.

My work had lunch catered and their was a lot of disappointing people with what we got, food taste mediocre and the portions was real small and for the price I would not recommend this place

Great communication and customer service. Everything came out beautifully and tasted great.

Needed a simple yet tasty lunch for an office meeting and Lunch Box Express delivered. Their website had LOTS of information and they took my order on the phone with ease. The order was delivered exactly at the time I ordered and they set up left before I could say thank you. The food was fresh and yummy! By the way, the fruity cobbler bars on the dessert platter were clearly homemade and delicious. The price for the food was inline with what I expected to pay. I did choose to bring my own drinks. They seemed a bit pricy individually. Probably offered as more of a convenience. Nonetheless, if I'm in need of a Sacramento office caterer again, I will use Lunch Box Express for sure.

I tried this place because it looked like the food wouldn't make me fat even if I ate it every day. I understand when dinner spots get a pass on the fat factor because "it's not a regular thing." Well I am not so good about packing lunches, which means eating lunch out for me is a regular thing. Taco trucks and Subway just don't cut it.So I found Lunch Box Express, and I am very pleased. Are there some downsides? Sure. But I'll start with the good stuff.First, the menu consists of soups, sandwiches, salads, and wraps (might be other things, but I haven't noticed). I haven't had a wrap yet, so I won't talk about those.Of those items, the salads are the best. fresh ingredients, good variety, dressing always on the side (a huge plus, as I go light on my dressing). Every salad I have had so far has been excellent and delicious.The soups are also good, so I get soup and salad combinations (price: $7.50). Overall the soup is pretty decent. It tastes like it is homemade, but some of the soups have some downsides. First, the holding temperature might be a bit too high for some of the ones that feature vegetables, because I've had some overly mushy vegetables a few times. On the flip side, I've had potato soup with underdone potatoes. But the soups are usually not so salty (from a health perspective, that's a plus for me).I have had the sandwiches only a few times, but I don't like them very much. Similar to Subway, the bread:meat ratio is way off. Too little meat for how much bread you get. I'll probably try the wraps in the future.But any negatives of the food are easily outweighed by the fresh and natural quality of the food. When I have a soup and salad, my stomach is happy and I can coast through the rest of the workday. And that is all I need.The good food is further helped by the very friendly staff and excellent service. Everyone who works there is nice and courteous. And also this: the food is brought to your table. That's a nice touch, and it really adds to the personal feel of the place.To sum it up: good salad and good soups that won't make me fat, served to me by really friendly people. That makes for a place I like to frequent.

I used Lunch Box Express to cater breakfast for a company gathering. They were recommended by my coworker and I was quite pleased with the food/service. I ordered the frittata (bacon & veggie) and it came with potatoes, muffins (two types), orange juice and coffee. I wish I would have taken a picture of the table. It was set up very nicely and it was a great surprise for my coworkers. The delivery/set up was on time (7:00am). Which I was a bit nervous about given the early start time. The best part is that we received a ton of compliments on the food which isn't easy when you are feeding over 45 people. We will definitely use them again.

(06/12/2013) Was at a meeting that had Lunch Box Express cater for lunch. There were a variety of deli sandwiches: turkey, roast beef, vegetarian, chicken, "Asian" (whatever that is). Bread was a nice chewy ciabatta, standard mayo and yellow mustard packet on the side, but there was already a nice, chipotle aioli on my roast beef, and fresh romaine, tomato and red onion. Side of colorful coleslaw (purple cabbage, red peppers) was fine, cookie was chocolate chocolate chip (thin, chewy, very sweet). Overall, not exciting, but solid. Would recommend a sandwich from them if you're in their storefront.

I said I would go back and I did. There was a small handful of gristle on my ham sandwich so that makes two strikes for the Lunchbox. No more I'm done. Check out my photo I posted.

The pack of chips was good. Sandwiches had Willy lettuce, 2 pickle, 2 thin tomatoes, mustard only, no mayo...soft roll though....cannot recommend

We received multiple box lunches from this company. Sandwiches had very little fillings, mostly bread. Staff needed to take the fillings from 2-3 sandwiches to make them adequate. Boxes also came with small water bottle, chips, and a cookie. For the amount of money we were charged these boxes it was very disappointing.
