Review The Lunch Box - Kansas City

Jeni Fowler
OMG you have to get your eat on here! I've had good philly cheesesteaks but nowhere has compared to the one I just shoveled into my pie hole. The steak was like eating pure magic, the bun was so soft I had to make sure I wasn't eating baby panda or something and the toppings (cheese and onions) were like a fairy came and dusted beauty all over the top. It was definitely a life changing experience for me and my philly cheesesteak addiction.

Great food and service! I had the grilled chicken salad, which was perfect. The portions were great for the cost, and the chicken was juicy and had a slight spiciness that worked very well with the richness of the ranch dressing. Even the presentation of the food in the to-go container was nice.

Great food. We actually went twice in one day. Super convenient in the West Bottoms. Food comes out quick. Miss having a table to eat there since we ride but the additional convenience items make sense.

The cuban sandwich is amazing — wow. Wish this place still had tables inside for dining in.

We had the cuban sandwiches and they were great! Fries were real potatoes cut and deep fried and seasoned. Onion rings were really good also. Will return.

A place to go for greasy, comfort Food. It was good and low priced. Unfortunately the wait time was unacceptable. It took twenty minutes to get our order and only two orders were in front of us (one being a quick to go). The beer is only big labels and 40s. I'm willing to give it another try based on recommendation of others.

Best breakfast around! Try the Trainwreck!! That's my fav breakfast hands down! The Lunch menu is decent as well! The Cowboy Burger is one of my favs but fr all of their food is good! I'm picky and I haven't tried one thing that I don't like!Plus the employees are always friendly and hella cool..!

Had an amazing experience at a local corner favorite "The Lunch Box" They were kind and friendly come they offered to heat our sandwiches and not sure we had everything we needed. Very friendly staff and was delighted to have eaten there. They have homemade sandwiches, varying from an Italian club, to ham and cheese to a special that has turkey, ham, cheese and bacon! They also make homemade potato salad. If you were in the West bottoms in Kansas City Missouri and need a place to a place to stop for a quick beverage or bite this is a perfect stop -JMS

I got the turkey melt with mushrooms and a drink. The turkey was thick pieces &was absolutely delicious! Not to mention portions are huge! I was able to split my sandwich and mushrooms with a coworker! All for 13$. This place is going to be a reoccurring lunch spot. Also, the women behind the counter are so kind. Thank you for such a yummy lunch!

They have the best fries! No seating inside or out, but you will be with others sitting in or on their cars.

Don’t judge a book by its cover! This place has amazing, fresh food that’s made-to-order and is worth the wait. Tastes like a hearty home-cooked meal. Breakfast burritos and hot dogs are my go-to but it’s all good. The staff is extremely kind and hard-working and provide exceptional customer service. They do sell liquor and convenience store items but the food is where it’s at. It’s also just a couple minutes from downtown KCMO and KCK so if you’re in the area, just passing through or live downtown, do not skip on The Lunch Box. A lot of people that know about this hidden gem make it a point to stop here when down in the West Bottoms area for work or driving truck through KC. Believe me, it’s awesome.

Don’t try to put in a mobile order, just go in! The people there are so nice and friendly and the food is inexpensive and incredible. Got a two sandwiches, tots, and fried mushrooms and every item is fresh and sooo good!

This place is delicious. It is a very small, hole in the wall type place. I had the Cuban missile sandwich. A lot of meat for the price. I will be visiting again!
Sha Wilson
GREAT SALADS-VERY FILLING AND ALOT OF MEAT!! I HAVENT HAD ANYTHING BAD THERE-GO EARLY IT GETS BUSY FAST! THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE PLACE WITH GOOD FAST FOOD
Pete Loves To Eat
Great local food. Outstanding sandwiches and sides. I recommend the tenderloin and hamburger. Anything you get will be excellent. <br/>This place has no ambiance and hardly any place to sit but the food is the draw. Go for it!!
The Food Dude
For what it is, it is mighty fine.  This is NOT health food.  This is a greasy spoon, wrapped in a diner, wrapped in a liquor store.  The food is typically very good, in good quantities, and is reasonably priced.  The service is great, and they cater to both blue collar and white collar customers.  It is small, so get there early or call in a carry-out order.My favorites so far are the Cuban missile and the tenderloin sandwich.  I get 'em with extra crispy tots.  The salads are great also, but they come with a LOT of meat, so if you want a semi-healthy lunch from here, put half the meat in a zip-loc and have it on a sandwich for dinner.

Good quick lunch. Friendly service. Large portions for a good price. Homemade onion rings are great!
Alex
This place is great! Delicious sandwiches, huge tenderloin and daily specials. Not much seating but great good for breakfast and lunch.

Awesome!!!. Amazing lunch.....ill drive twenty miles out of my way to stop and grab a quick meatball sandwich, or a Cuban. I absolutely love the staff and atmosphere.
Dan Mingori
Delicious Food - 2 minutes from downtown. The Lunch Box will often post daily specials on their Facebook page. Knowing the quality of the food, that's usually enough to draw me in. They have fantastic hamburgers, philly cheese steaks, tacos and more. Always very friendly and affordable. Highly recommended.
Marlene
The cowboy Burger is the best Burger in town! And the onion rings are awesome.
Carolyn Redman
Best cheese steak sandwich ever!! Great food and great service.

Oh.My.God.Splendiferous!. I looked on urbanspoon for a place to eat in that neighborhood. I love to try new places and saw that The Lunchbox had a 100% rating.<br/>My family is full of foodies. THIS PLACE WAS OHMYGOD DELICIOUS! We each tried something different and shared... The club, the chicken sandwich (grilled and fried), the onion rings, the french fries, the specials on the front of the menu. All of it was huge and all of it was wonderful!<br/>Do not be swayed by the exterior... Looks like a liquor/ cigarette store. It is one of the cleanest places I've been in, and the staff is super friendly! <br/>Definitely one of my family's new faves!<br/>The only thing I would change is that I wish they had Diet Pepsi on their fountain drinks... They do have diet Dr. Pepper and you can get bottles of soda tho!

Home cooking made from scratch. Excellent, priced right dishes. Very friendly owner/operators. We had their cheese burger, tenderloin and philly with fries and rings. Incredible little diner!!
Chas

Great Service. This little place changed hands a few months ago and the food and service are GREATLY improved. Try it! Great place to grab a bite while touring all the wonderful antique shops in the West Bottoms.

Tenderloin was HUGE. Very tasty. Great fries. Most of the menu is made from scratch, and the people there were very friendly.
