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.
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 some folks). Great graham crust, moist and delicious gooey chocolatey filling with a nicely toasted (yeah one corner was a little dark, but that's the way I like it) coconut topping. There's a reason why the dessert counter was almost bare...these things are delicious. With several other offerings, from lemon bars to no bake cookies, there's something for everyone, so save room for dessert. It's a smaller location, with old-school charm and decor. A great place for one, or a even a larger group. The service was quick, and the food was lovingly prepared by the Lunch Ladies...so you know it's good! And eat Dessert First! It's Slim Whitman approved.
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. 🤙
I had the veggie and my husband had the cranberry turkey. Both sandwiches we excellent, fresh ingredients full of flavor. Prices were very reasonable. Will definitely order again.
This place consistently makes amazing food! If you haven’t eaten here you must! I’ve tried several dishes on the menu and they are ALL incredible.
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!
Home cooking at its best. I have never had a bad meal. One of my favorite restaurants. Need a bigger place.
I absolutely love this place. I lived in Oklahoma for more than a decade before I found out about it and now I can't wait to go back again. I had originally gone just to see the Egyptian Mummy, I didn't know they had so many wonderful objects to shar
This place has a very nice comforting aesthetic. The coffee was delicious, the food was pretty good too. It was also a reasonable price to come in and paint with my daughter. I'd love to host an event here at some point.
Such a great place, packed with treasures! It's truly amazing how much is artfully displayed in, what is actually, a small building. There is also a conference room which can be rented for different organizations. A guide is available for touring the
Service was great, the waitress was friendly, quick, and on top of everything. Food was great both for breakfast and lunch. Inside was clean and spacious. Will be back to try more of the many breakfast options for sure.
Great place for coffee and a quick breakfast! We stopped in and grabbed a vanilla latte, salted caramel latte, and a couple of breakfast croissants. So good!! Highly recommend.
This was my first time going to Dutch Bros, and I am glad I picked the Shawnee location as my first time. Not knowing what to order, I asked the employee that was helping take my order who also happened to be the store manager, Dawson. He was very he
He knows what he is doing with that meat!! Ribs are the best in this area don't taste like apple juice like another local place, trims the meat just right (balance fat to meat). Brisket is wild good. Good smoke ring and juicy every time. Coleslaw bal
We dined in. The restaurant was clean and service was fast and friendly. We come for the super thin, crisp burgers and frozen custard. I love to add reeses pieces to my frozen custard.
We went for just an hour earlier tonight and played two rounds of pool. One thing thatâs good to note is theyâre cash only! And the pool tables are pretty standard and cost 4 quarters to play per game. They have an ATM there but it was struggling
