I'd have given a few more dollars for more. It was good but after eating the entire sandwich I was still relatively hungry. Was expecting one of those places where you get a sandwich, eat half and get full and have more for later.Not bad, just wanted more
The Lunch Box probably makes the best sandwiches in the world in my opinion. I live right around the corner and always pass by them. There's always a crowd waiting outside their storefront. They have picnic benches for those who are waiting or want to eat outside. It's a great place to pick up lunch and go somewhere to eat like Lake Merritt.All the sandwiches I've gotten are delicious and the meat is also fresh. They're also vegetarian friendly by the way. I'm looking forward to try their Roasted Eggplant Sandwich. I've had them almost every weekday the last 3 weeks. I've had their Roasted Turkey Sandwich, Pastrami Sandwich, Ruben Sandwich, Chicken Salad Sandwich, and their BBQ Brisket Sandwich. They roast their own meat everyday. They also have hot plates like turkey, mash potatoes and gravy, soups, and salads which are delicious too. They have fridges for drinks and snacks like chips and cookies to grab. You can order online. The wait to pick up is usually around 10 minutes if you order in person and 20 minutes if you order online or over the phone to pick up.I honestly look forward to coming here most weekdays especially when I'm busy with work. I bring my two dogs here, Lily and Kevin and they love the owners Jeff and Ann. They spoil them with fresh deli meat like beef and turkey. Jeff and Ann are amazing to talk to and they remember their customers names even after the first time time you order. They say hi to their customers right away as soon as they walk in and they're extra friendly to dogs. I have yet to try their other restaurant Dinner House down the street which are open Thursday-Saturday I believe in the evening.They know the menu by heart and you can trust that they can make a great recommendation for you especially if you're the type to be overwhelmed by menus. Sometimes, I come in and ask them to surprise me which has been my go to recently. They have different toppings and tapenade which I recently discovered which is by the way a total game changer!Jeff and Ann don't know how much they make my days a little easier and my days brighter every time I see them and order lunch. It's a small gesture but they're definitely a hardworking business who know how to operate it well. Please support them and order plenty I promise you won't regret it and you'll likely be a regular like me. Enjoy!
my favorite sandwich shop, hands down - consistent, quick, & delicious - the owners are great too
I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE LUNCH BOX FOR MORE THAN A DECADE.. EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS, I'VE PRETTY MUCH TRIED IT ALL ?I HAVEN'T WORKED IN THE AREA FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT EVERYTIME I'M IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, LUNCH BOX IS A MUST ???
Staff are beyond friendly, and the food the quick + tastes good. Great spot for a quick lunch.
Roasted turkey was great
Great service and excellent food. Would have been 5 stars but the pastrami wasn't top notch, it was good but not great, everything else was EXCELLENT!
I had the veggie sandwich with sweet pepper sauce and it was spectacular! Would definitely recommend and will definitely come back again!
Super delicious, even for the vegetarian! I got an avocado and cheese on dutch crust and wow, so good. They even have my dog a few slices of turkey for being cute. Can't wait until I'm back in the area!
Unfortunately got my sandwich wrong and had to go back and have them make it again. 2nd sandwich was VERY DRY?
