★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Rashad Khoury · Jun 2025

Wasn’t too impressed with this place. The portion sizes are pretty big but the chicken sandwich was pretty low quality. The chicken was dry and the sauce didn’t taste like anything. They did give me a lot of fries which was a plus. The prices are higher than the pictures they have on Google. Location not ideal, the staff were nice enough. Overall, an average experience and not likely I head back anytime soon.

I’m a truck driver, and was down the street picking up a shipment. So I decided to walk down to grab some lunch while waiting. Food was 10/10 definitely recommend

The first time I visited The Lunch Box was in January 2024, and I was impressed to find that it resembled a large convenience store, offering typical products that you would find at any gas station but in larger quantities. When I researched The Lunch Box, I thought of it as a bigger version of Price Rite Market & Deli, a Kansas City convenience store located 7 miles north of Riverside, Missouri, on Waukomis Drive. Both businesses share a similar concept: a hole-in-the-wall restaurant paired with a convenience store style of service. Inside The Lunch Box, the décor was appealing, and they offered a variety of items, including chips, nuts, trail mixes, candy, sweet treats, sodas, coffee beverages, energy and nutritional drinks, juices, milk, automotive supplies, medicines, charcoal, fuel,

Great hole in the wall spot! Hidden gem in the west bottoms. Would not even know it was there without google. Walk in order your food at the counter, wait a few minutes and be prepared to be surprised by the super tasty burger and the shareable sides!

Been working in the Stockyards for a few months now, and just found out about this place. May be the best onion rings I've ever had. Really good Philly too! I'll definitely be back!
