Best lunch spot in Richmond - Incredible Quality, Value, and Heart Christie's Lunch Cart is the real deal. Everything is hot and fresh - made to order, no shortcuts. The steak and cheese on a pita is fire. Seriously, whatever you normally get, try that at least once. You won't regret it. Under $10 for a sandwich and chips in 2026? Are you kidding me? That pricing is phenomenal, especially for this quality. June, the owner, runs Christie's with old school customer service, the "Hey baby" kind. She knows her regulars, remembers orders, and genuinely cares about every person who walks up. 2026's been the hardest year in the cart's 26 years history thanks to inflation, but June refuses to pass those costs on to us. She shows up daily with a smile and confidence because God's got her, and we should too. What to order: Steak and cheese on pita. Don't sleep on the cookies (she's got the only oatmeal raisin I'll eat.) Honestly, everything's delicious. Show up. You'll get it read more

This is a review for their 8th/9th Street and Main cart, though I think the MCV one has the same exact menu. I have walked by this cart probably a hundred times in the past, but decided to stop by and try it a few weeks ago. I'm mad at myself for not trying it sooner! --Food: So far I've had their Fiesta, Thai, and Sweet William chicken wraps. Each consists of lettuce, grilled chicken, a flour tortilla, and some other unique additions. The Fiesta wrap had a Peach Mango Salsa (I believe), Thai had a spicy peanut sauce, and Sweet William had Chipotle BBQ, bacon, and tomato. Today I also tried the Chicken & Cheese Pita. Every item I've had so far has been delicious! Nothing is super fancy, but it doesn't need to be. (Minus some of the very interesting sauces in the wraps, yum!) Everything is super fresh, super affordable, and super tasty. One of the dark pits that I've fallen into downtown is the "fast food" or "fries" pit, so it's a breath of fresh air to eat what tastes like very "real" food. The lettuce is crisp and green, the chicken is always grilled and never gristly, and everything just has that light yet filling feel to it. Their sign says all of their bread is homemade as well. I haven't had the sandwiches or non-chicken items yet, but I decided today that I want to try every item on the menu, so I'll get there eventually. --Cost: Most items are about $6. Compared to the sandwiches and other areas around here that cost $8-$10, Christie's Lunchbox is very affordable. --Service: The ladies that run Christie's Lunchbox are easily some of the nicest people in the whole food business. They are always so cheerful and seem to enjoy what they do. It's one of those places where you don't feel silly asking what menu items are because they're more than happy to tell you about anything. --Overall: Christie's Lunchbox is one of my new favorite places to eat. While the food may not be as interesting or fancy as some of the options nearby, it's definitely fresh, affordable, and tasty. The staff are pretty much the nicest people ever and I've had nothing but a great lunch experience every time. read more

See all

This cart is located across from the MCV hospital and they have freshly made to order sandwiches. They are very fast and friendly here and there is almost always a long line so I try to get their early or around 1pm after the rush dies down. Their made from scratch sandwiches are all about $6. I suggest trying their Reuben because it is a decent size and I really love the melted cheese! Food: 3.5 Value: 4 Service: 4 Overall: 4 read more

I was at the dental clinic and got the Albuquerque Turkey, fresh and delicious! Definitely cooked with love. I will be back!

Had a gyro, pasta salad and chocolate chip cookie for lunch today. The gyro was awesome, a little light on tzatziki but otherwise so good. The pasta salad was unlike any pasta salad I've ever tasted. Tomatoes, green beans and almonds with a balsamic dressing and of course pasta. The cookies were freshly baked, a little hard but still tasty. Would definitely order from these gals again. Service was amazing. read more

We had Christie cater our work staff meeting and requested lunch the day before and she was able to provide 90 lunches within 24 hour notice. EVERYone killed it and we enjoyed them very much! HIGHLY recommend. read more

Food was great! Service was great! Whole trip brightened my day. 10/10 recommend. (8th/9th and main street location)

Just found this cart on Monday (8th and Main) and have stopped by 3 times this week. I've tried the chicken and cheese pita and the fiesta chicken wrap - both of which are soooo tasty! The ladies running the cart are the super sweet. Don't forget to try the Bob Marley cookies which they make from scratch. It has coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans. Definitely a new favorite :) read more

I got the steak and cheese pita from here one day when I was starving and the lines for my typical go-to carts were entirely too long. Christie's always seems to have a relatively short line, which should not speak to the quality of their food. I really enjoyed my pita; the steak had great flavor and was piping hot. They definitely did not skimp on the cheese, but it also wasn't overwhelming. I was initially hesitant about the pita, but I actually really enjoyed it and I thought it worked well with the steak and cheese. I really don't have anything bad to say about the food, but it also wasn't incredible enough to deserve anything more than 4 stars. The service was a little slower than some of the other carts. The price was just about average for your typical cart food, but I was definitely full afterward! Definitely a place to consider when your favorite cart is too busy and you're in a crunch for time! read more

In my opinion, this is the best sandwich cart/truck downtown. The food is great, the prices are cheap, and the people running it are super friendly. I'm so glad they came back to the 10th and Cary location. Now with 3 spots, it's easy for most of the downtown crowd to get to. read more
