The Lunchbox

The food is good. My favorite is the meatloaf. I had the meatloaf sandwich on 2 separate days. The first time I had it, it was about 45 minutes before their closing time, and I had it to go. When the waitress put my order in, the lady preparing the sandwich said - REALLY? This sandwich (2nd last photo), compared to the next time I bought it (last photo) were a far cry. The meatloaf, while both were delicious, were very different in size. The place has very good acoustics, so it is very echo-y and noisy. Overall, I still love the food and the ladies, and will go back weekly.

Had TLB for lunch yesterday, delicious as always. The cheesecake brownie was a little too sweet, but nonetheless good. I also had the BLT on sourdough. The lemonade is to die for, make sure you don’t pass it up. Friendly staff and great music too :)

I have gone there for weekday lunch when I am in Shawnee. Good menu of salads,soups, and sandwiches. The tenderloin sandwich is very good. I like all of the sides. The chocolate chip cookie was very good too. It’s a great local spot that is usually full with friends, family, and business people enjoying good deli type food. If you’re in Shawnee go to the Lunchbox instead of the chain stores on Kickapoo. 🤙

This is such a great and unique restaurant. I know the owners here. Top notch food! All the meats are made fresh, no processed stuff at all! Yum! 4 years later and this place just keeps getting better!

Nestled in Old Downtown in Shawnee you will find a throwback lunch cafe serving up great sandwiches, loaded spuds, soups, salads, and daily specials...oh, and the Dessert First counter...at The Lunch Box . I had the Southwest Turkey Club, a nicely portioned sandwich filled with turkey breast, bacon, provolone cheese, avocado, red onions, chipotle ranch and served on a ciabatta roll. It was very tasty, the chicken was moist, and while I'm not a big avocado fan, it really complemented the sandwich. Served with a dill pickle spear and of course, Lay's potato chips, it was a great lunch sandwich. But what about dessert? Glad you asked. I was forced to take (ok, I walked past the Dessert First counter and was inexplicably drawn to) a HUGE Hello Dolly bar (aka Magic Cookies or Magic Bars by
