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!

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!

I judge a deli sandwich shop by their Reuben and theirs was excellent. Loved the pastrami and they used the right amount of sauerkraut and dressing; didn’t overdo it.

It’s a fun environment but they get kinda busy at lunch. Got me laughing though. Always a good sign. Gotta love that soup and sandwich salad combo.

The best place for a hearty sandwich in Uptown Oakland. Great down-to-Earth staff and the finest ingredients are used for one worth-every-penny sandwich. This is the place to go if you want to be full. For me, one sandwich covers my lunch and dinner. Excellent! Photos of the Meatball sandwich. Huge meatballs covered in melted Provolone with veggies and a fine wheat roll. Healthy and hearty!

Delicious sandwhiches, great selection of meat and veggies. Looks kinda terrible on the outside which is how u can tell it is a fantastic plate to eat. Good service too, they have a lot of regulars.
