Lunch Box

When I walked it, I received such a warm welcome. They have soooo many options to choose from that it took me a minute to decide. The gentleman at the register was kind and patient… and made fantastic suggestion about adding the garlic spread. I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich on Dutch crunch, and it really hit the spot. My total came to just under $15, and it was totally worth it. My wait wasn’t long at all— I had ~4 people in the queue ahead of me— he quote me 7 minutes and I think it took 5. I definitely plan to go back and would absolutely recommend this sandwich spot to a friend.

I've ordered for delivery here a few times. Food is always made well and at a great price. The first time I ordered on doordash I got a call 3 minutes later from them asking if I wanted any extras on my sandwich not listed. No extra cost. They just wanted to make sure my sandwich was just how I wanted it. Awesome. One of the better sandwiches I've had in a long time

I used to frequent Lunchbox as they have a solid variety of food options. Unfortunately when enjoying one of their hot plates I discovered an insect in my food. This is highly disturbing and concerning from any food establishment. Food containing fruits/vegetables should be thoroughly and carefully prepared to prevent insects, which may carry harmful diseases to humans, crawling about in the food. While mistakes do happen, I’m even more disappointed with Lunchbox’s response to the incident. They asked if I wanted my money back and showed an overall lack of concern, stating ‘that sometimes happens when we don’t wash our vegetables good enough’. I’m deeply concerned if you are routinely serving customers food with insects crawling inside of it. Hopefully this message will push Lunchbox to be more attentive when preparing food - nobody wants pay money to find nasty surprises in their cuisine.

This place is fantastic. The food is superlative, I've had the Corned Beef and Roast Turkey sandwiches and they were absolutely delicious. The place is completely non pretentious but with top quality fresh ingredients that some hipster joints could only dream of delivering. I'm a stickler for corned beef, I'm from NY, they do it right here. No BS, good value. Only downside is it's take out only. Worth it.

First of all, Ann at the counter is just a lovely person to be greeted by. It was a pleasure and she was warm and welcoming from start to finish. Okay, I ordered The Pastrami to go. My thoughts, being a first timer, were to go with a classic. Something that shouldnt be made wrong in any sandwich shop. They didnt disappoint. It was everything I expected in a pastrami with one caveat: I had it on Dutch Crunch bread.(first time having it on that kind of bread) They had a bunch of other options, not just pastrami. If youre in the mood for a good sandwich in The East Bay, head to Oakland and hit up Lunch Box.
