Best local lunch spot in FLG! Homemade everything, delicious soups...great breakfast too.

For the first visit, I had a full order for my wife and I - meaning we included items from the bakery and the deli. Order: one Cuban, one Nutclucker (WHAT an unfortunate name, especially if you forget the name of the sandwich and all your guesses are dirty), two sides of farfalle pasta salad, one chocolate chip cookie, and one cinnamon roll. What We Thought: The sandwiches are worth $10, but just. The Cuban was enhanced by the pickle and sweet carrot slices as well as a very tasty, strong mustard. The roll was tender and the meat sliced a little thin for me, but the result was a nice, soft, comforting hot sandwich. My wife enjoyed the nutclucker sandwich - basil and chicken with cashew toppings - just as much. The farfalle had a good amount of basil & olive oil and was just the right size. The bakery items pass muster, but that's it. The cookie was over baked and the cinnamon roll too thick plus a little dry. Despite that, they were appetizing. In The Future: this is a good place to eat in, with ample space inside and an appealing interior design. The display of lunchboxes is a lot of fun. Definitely worth a visit as the East side needs better neighborhood eateries. read more

I love this place! Be prepared to wait up to 45 minutes if you're walking in during lunch time, but you can also order ahead to pick up. It's worth the wait! I love their egg salad sandwich! I have yet to try their cookies but they look amazing. read more

I'm so happy Yelp guided us here. My husband was craving sandwiches, so I got on board. What a delicious lunch. These sandwiches were so yummy. I knew I wanted to write a great review. The choices were amazing. I was able to find something perfect. We even got dessert which was pure yummmmmm. The restaurant was adorable and decorated in a fun manor. The service was unbeatable. Very friendly and fun. I appreciate everything about our visit and will be a repeat customer. A+++++× read more

Been here a handful of time and have never been disappointed, a little on the pricey side but the creativity of their menu is worth it for a once-in-a-while treat! Always fresh and their cookies are the best! read more

Delicious. Haven't ordered a sandwich here that I didn't like!! I typically don't like sandwich places but this place is the best. They keep the restaurant super clean and all the employees are very friendly. read more

Atmosphere is great, love all the old school lunchboxes. The food is incredible! The staff is wonderful. Kind of hidden in a plaza so it's a very nice hidden gem. Love it!! FYI their lemon cookie is phenomenal!! read more

Fresh made unique sandwiches and the clam chowder had lots of clams in it. Love this place!

If you come to Flagstaff, or you live in Flagstaff, you must eat here. It is delicious, there are plenty of items from which to choose, and the staff is so very friendly. We had just finished the Elden Lookout hike, and happened to see this place. Lucky us. Just what we needed after a ridiculously long hike!!! read more

Adorable sandwich joint and bakery with an 80s lunchbox vibe. Food was made with love- I could taste it. We ordered Texas Southwest Dip and Italian Grilled Cheese. Texas was bigger, juicier, and much more filling. Italian was sophisticated and dainty. Pasta salad was light and fresh. Good chips. Yummy cookies. Retro vibe made me feel excited. Cute seating area. Excellent service- very kind staff. 5= Totally recommend to my family and friends and would add to my normal rotation. read more

great sandwich, and THE BEST cookie I've EVER had (the peanut butter cookie) what a great spot!

I had one of the best Egg Salad sandwiches ever at Jitter's. Service is good and attentive and prices are quite reasonable as well.

Stopped by from our Grand Canyon trip. The Navajo tacos are huge and good. Everything was fresh and the staff is awesome. The restrooms and restaurant is clean. We would recommend coming here! read more

Just wow. If you are driving through Flagstaff (like we were) and want a great hole-in-the-wall joint with the best potato salad ever had, stop here. Cute atmosphere. Great food. Friendly staff. read more

On our drive to the Grand Canyon we sought a place to grab a quick lunch that was kid friendly. Based on Yelp reviews we visited Jitter's Lunchbox. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches - pb&j with goldfish, bologna and cheese, a grilled cheese with carnitas, an Italian grilled cheese and I had a roast beef with wasabi. Decor was great with vintage lunchboxes all over. We finished with some amazing cookies. Highly recommend Jitter's Lunchbox!!! read more

SO GOOD!!!! Best restaurant I've ever been to, honestly. I definitely recommend this place to anyone!!! I am a flagstaff Native and have been to every restaurant here in Flagstaff, but this one..... by FAR, the best restaurant I've ever been to please go here!!! read more

Had Green Chile stew with frybread. Stew is pretty good but I thought the bowl would come in a bowl but it's a cup. The price in my opinion is high for a cup of green Chile stew. Fry bread is crispy which we prefer to be fluffy when eating stew. You have to try it for yourself. read more

The service seemed happy and kind, but the Italian grill cheese was overpriced and underwhelming.

I love this spot for lunch, whenever I'm in Flagstaff I always enjoy a meal here. I was a little tired and asked if they could do a coffee cold and she offered to smoothie it up and it was absolutely delicious. Their coffee is fantastic. It was just ice, almond milk and their coffee brewed with a delicious sandwich they cut their vegetables with a mandolin so thin and fresh! read more

Updated to add a star....two words "egg salad". Wonderful. Perfect balance of flavors, fantastic bread. Pickles, tomato, lettuce and potato chips. Also tried their potato salad, perfectly cooked potatoes with just the right amount of dressing. So good. read more

My favorite lunch place anywhere! I've eaten everything on their menu and never been disappointed! Casual and low key but great food and great staff! Can't go wrong here! read more

We were just passing through Flagstaff and wanted a fresh lunch, and Jitter's Lunchbox delivered! We were greeted by a lovely cashier who walked us through some favorites on the menu (per our request). We ordered the special, which was a chicken wrap, a Cuban, a custom turkey on sourdough, and Dogwood Stack. All sandwiches were delicious, as were the sides. The freshly brewed iced teas were also very welcome on the hot day. It's a cute little unassuming cafe with a varied menu and a lot to offer. This is a perfect lunch stop if you want a great sandwich! read more

Just ordered through GH and this is my new favorite spot! They package up meals individually so it's easy to order with friends, they also offer a lot of homemade goodies/steeped teas that change daily! Not to mention the happy hour as well! Employees are nice and the restaurant is so cute. Will definitely come here again on dates/lunches(: read more

My family stopped by for sandwiches on the way to Grand Canyon. Super friendly staff, and the food was excellent! We realized I left my credit card at the store just as we were nearing the Grand Canyon. They were nice enough to mail my credit card back to my home in Tennessee, which was a huge help! read more

Tiny tiny little portions. Cran birdie sandwich was nothing like it once was. Very expensive too. What happened?

My wife and I wanted to take our toddler to the park just a few blocks away and the kiddo played there for an hour and a half. Instead of going back to downtown Flagstaff, we decided to try something local and found Jitter's Lunchbox on Yelp. I had the Beef Dip, wife had the pork sandwich, and toddler had the ham + cheese sandwich from kids menu. Everything was excellent. The vegetable "ribbon" side with ranch was surprisingly good, and we ended up ordering an extra one just because one wasn't enough. Next time we are in Flagstaff, we will definitely go again. I'm going to try the Cuban sandwich next time. read more

Good sandwiches, good healthier drink selection, and a good vibe. Price is a little high for the size of sandwich, on the small side, but still good. read more

Good food , could have more hours but not my bussiness.i wish them well!flagstaff needs good resturants.

Stopped here with my parents while in town and it's a quaint little place. Order at the counter and have a seat to wait for your order. It's simple and easy if you are looking for a quick and cheap soup and sandwich combo! read more

A little tricky to find (using Google Maps), but worth the effort. It's right next to "Harbor Freight". I've only eaten there one time (so far), but enjoyed my sandwich and side. The side, potato salad, was some of the best I've ever eaten. Friendly faces. Definitely give this place a try. I know I will again. Lots of cool "old school" lunchboxes on display. read more

Great lunch spot! Friendly service and good sandwiches with quality ingredients and sides. Not many vegetarian options sadly (only one mediocre lunch option on the menu) but the meals with meat got great reviews while the ambiance was 5/5. read more

Great find! Fresh ingredients, wonderful breads. We had the Turkey/cranberry and the Cuban. Yum

Cute place. Great sandwich combinations. Delicious sandwiches and pastry. Nice staff. Four stars as the price is a bit high, and the sandwiches are a bit small to be a good value. We had the Italian grilled cheese which was AMAZING, and the Dagwood, which has a ton of meat, but not a huge amount of flavor. read more

Jitters Lunchbox - Cute little lunch spot! - Sandwiches Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

One of the best lunch places in Flagstaff hands down. Jitter's offers a variety of hot and cold sandwiches that everyone can enjoy. For the price its hard to beat and with fast service and a wide selection of sandwiches you can't go wrong stopping by here for lunch. Try the Cuban or Blue Moo hot sandwiches. The former has a good balance of pork, ham and mustards. While the latter is more savory and creamy blend of au jus sauced roast beef and blue cheese spread. I am most impressed with the weekly specials at this place which are always good to get if you are unsure of what to get. The service is quick and will bus tables or get you refills if they see your drink is low. The owners are always there, happy to serve hungry customers. read more

I loved this place since it opened...like years ago...the tortilla soup is probably the best soup they make in my opinion...however they don't offer it daily which is disappointing...the bread could be better. But over all it's a good place to catch a bite. read more

Great lunch spot after leaving the Grand Canyon this morning. It's about 15 minutes from the Walnut Canyon National Monument. We had the Dagwood sandwich, zucchini bisque, and pumpkin cream cheese pastry. They were all very good and we recommend this spot for anyone looking for a lunch spot in the area. read more

We found this gem after the corporate restaurants were only offering drive thru with no admission inside. We called to see if they were open and their directions led us right there. Service and food were great. Many fresh options. The dozens of nostalgic lunchboxes on display are fantastic! Bypass the chain restaurants and make Jitter's your next stop! read more

This is the best brunch and lunch stop in town. It is located on Route 66 near the Santa Fe shopping center on the east side of Flagstaff. It is the same restaurant that used to exist on 4th Street until last year, with the same owners. I reviewed that one as well, and while that review was the work of a talented amateur Yelper, this one will be the work of a seasoned professional Yelper! The same rule applies to this place to a certain extent. While the first location was already excellent, this one is bigger and much nicer, and there are more places to sit inside and outside here compared to the last location. As for the food, it is always excellent and I have never had a bad experience here in the three years I have been coming here. There are quite a few items to choose from here. First I must mention the baked goods. This is one of the few places in Flagstaff that has a decent selection of homemade baked goods. Their offerings include cookies, danish, cupcakes, cheesecake, and more. All of these are excellent in quality. On occasions in the past, I have observed that they sometimes run out of them, so if you are in the need of some of them, I would suggest you come here early, or maybe see if you can order some ahead of time. As for the lunches, there is not a bad sandwich in the house. My favorites are the Blue Moo, and the Tom Terrific turkey. The Blue Moo is a roast beef panini with a bleu cheese spread, spinach, peppers, onion, and others. The Tom Terrific panini consists of turkey, tomato, marinated artichoke hearts, red onion, and Swiss cheese with a spread of jalapeno mayo grilled in a Parmesan crusted telera roll. Both are amongst the best sandwiches I have ever had. They are also formerly members of the rotating featured sandwich of the week. Every week there is a featured sandwich, with the exception of their Quiche Me Monday's, First Friday Frybreads, and other specials throughout the year. Additionally, they have a different soup or chili every day, and a small assortment of sides to choose from. My favorite is the bowtie pasta salad. Last but not least, they have a wide assortment of beverages to choose from. They have the usual teas, coffee, and italian soda, however their best beverage is the VCP, which is essentially Pepsi with a dollop of heavy cream. It is an excellent treat. Finally I would be remiss if I didn't mention their customer service. The owners, Charlene and Reggie are amongst the finest people you will ever meet. They treat their customers warmly and always take the time to greet their regular customers by their first names when they come in. The same goes for the rest of the staff, most notably Brandi, who has been there ever since they opened up the 4th Street cafe 3 years ago. If I were to give them any criticism, it would be that they really need to improve the signage inside. specifically, the size of the lettering on the boards above the customer service counter that contain the menu items. This was also my main criticism of the last location as well. The signage is very difficult for me to read, even with glasses. Also, I have witnessed many people in the past having some degree of difficulty reading them as well, including today. This can result in long lines, and hold up the speed of service, which given the popularity of this place, can happen often during peak hours. Some may often bristle at the prices, however you get what you pay for because everything on their menu is homemade with fresh and high quality ingredients. Where else in town can you find a place that uses bleu cheese spread on their sandwiches? Still, if your worst feature is poor signage, I would say that is not bad for a small cafe. I would dock it a half star because of the signage, but I really lean more towards giving it 5 stars than 4 based on the quality of the food and customer service alone. Yelp's star system just doesn't cut it when it comes to my ability to provide the most accurate review unfortunately. So in short, this is one of the most criminally underrated lunch stops in town. I understand that it is probably out of the way for many Flagstaffians, and especially the lunch crowd from Downtown. However if you are craving great food and don't care about the extra expense, I would definitely give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

This is a really charming lunch joint in modest strip mall on Route 66. The interior is bright, open and it has a quirky theme of classic lunchboxes, with two displays of such, dating from the mid 1960s ("Prairie Man") to the mid 1980s ("Return of the Jedi"), dominated by 1970s (Fat Albert, Kung Fu,etc) The menu is mostly sandwiches and salads, all done with a kind of extra healthy flavor. I had a turkey sandwich (Perky Turkey) with a side of sliced veggies and dip. It felt healthy and the proprietor was really nice. 1970s music in the background matched the lunchbox theme well. read more

Cute little place with great sandwiches and delicious cookies. It's easy to miss because it is a tiny spot tucked away in a strip mall near the Harbor Freight. It's definitely worth looking for though! We enjoyed a great lunch and a bit of nostalgia as we perused the vintage lunch boxes. Definitely recommend!! read more
