Fried mortadella sandwich, not always on the menu
marty a.

So we were watching Check Please Bay Area, and this place was on there! My sister texts me and say's let's go here, yes she was watching it too! My Italian brother in law saw a fried mortadella sandwich and was SOLD! So glad we did great place for lunch!

Nice roomy interior, fresh and clean.

Found myself at the Lunchbox in Sebastopol again. This time I went with one of their burgers under the smashburger heading. It was delicious. I was hungry so I'm embarrassed to say I wolfed it down. I sprung the extra $3.00 for fries. In retrospect the burger would have been enough. I love when they shred the lettuce super thin. Every bite hit the spot. Service is always cheerful. The ambiance is casual, clean, and chill.

Lunch Box for the lunch win!!! Flavor explosions! What we ordered: Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger Two 3.5 oz house ground Oak Ridge Angus patties smashed with thinly sliced sweet onions, American Cheddar, and pickles on a Costeaux brioche bun + included Kettle Chips *upgrade to fries! *we've tried a few of their burgers and they are among our favorites ever! Summer Salad Local mixed lettuces, avocado, pickled red onion, seasonal veg, chives, pastured eight minute egg, and hemp seeds with house made chèvre ranch and lemon *add breaded chicken for protein and flavor Pesto Grilled Cheese Pepita pesto, garlic chili aioli, and our Highway 1 fontina, CA jack, and coastal cheddar cheese blend on Red Bird pullman *my friend loved this warm, cheesy pesto goodness Their comfort food eats satisfy our hunger and soothe our souls! Love the clean and bright interior. Staff are always friendly and helpful in answering our menu questions. Order/pay at the counter, bring your number to a table...and just wait for the deliciousness you are about to eat! Wish we lived closer to Lunch Box. Dreaming of our next visit. If you haven't been...what are you waiting for?!

Visiting the area and this place came highly recommended. A good lunch spot. Staff was friendly and helpful. Inside was clean and inviting. Good amount of customers and tables, but we ordered to go. Chicken Parmesan sub fries: daughter loved this sandwich, said was delicious, flavorful and smelled good. 4.5/5 Spring Salad, sub Lemon Vinaigrette dressing: wife said it had good flavor, but price a bit high for what it is. 4/5 Spring Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger, sub Fries with Aioli: I ordered their daily special - Double patties smashed into thin shaved sweet onions with house made dehydrated and confit local green garlic infused sharp white cheddar, local Meyer lemon confit green garlic mayo, and pickles on a toasted brioche bun. Very delicious, but a bit salty. Fries with the house made garlic chili aioli were delicious. Overall 4.5 Overall recommend trying this place. Prices seem a bit high for what you're getting. Large portions, so can share.

Tomato soup.  Full flavor but not too heavy.

Sweet spot in Sebastopol. I am not sure why it didn't come up on my radar years ago. We had the smash burger, dirty fries and tomato soup. All were full of flavor. What else can you ask for in a dining experience? All the sauces were tasty and hit different heat levels. I think the smash burger, which was a double, was one of the best I have tasted in terms of the flavor of the meat and how the toppings compliment the whole thing. The dirty fries were crispy and not weighted down by the toppings. Well done chef!

Rachel sandwich
Pam M.

My friend and I stopped in, and we both decided to order the Rachel sandwich. It had roasted turkey, coleslaw, three cheese on a delicious toasted bread. We also got the Elote fries which were covered with pickled onions, cotija cheese and corn. They were absolutely wonderful. I will definitely get those again. The staff people were friendly, although it did take him a while to get us our fries The restaurant was small uncomfortable

Too saucy - not good
Akari Y.

it was not good :( if it was good i would be happy to come back but unfortunately it was not good so i will not come back :( the sauce was very asian fusion but it wasn't the authentic asian taste, it was overpowered by sauce

Before habit burger sold out and became trash they did a McDonald's type burger both regular and vegan that we would get once a month. We have been missing it until now. This place nailed it but even more so with a smash burger style, killer. The twist on Caesar was what separates the great from the legends, and the perfect slim fries. We were lucky enough to grab a patio table and enjoy Saturday brunch in the west county center on another amazing California day. The attitude of the staff was even brighter than the weather as I was a lost first timer. Order at the counter, get your gear and find a seat with your number. They bring the food and it may take a minute so take some breaths and talk to others like a Gen X er, not your phone. Lunch Box is a gem of the county. Head to the Barlow after, probably a festival going on. Cheers

5 Stars - Perfect Sandwiches & a Scenic Getaway! Lunch Box is an absolute gem in Sebastopol! We ordered the Reuben (not pictured, too busy enjoying it realizing we didn't take a picture) and the chicken sandwich, and both were incredible--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Whether you dine in or take it to go, you won't be disappointed! If you're looking for the perfect picnic idea, grab your sandwiches and take the short 28-minute drive to Bodega Bay. Eating a delicious meal while soaking in the stunning coastal views made for such a memorable experience. Great food, friendly service, and the perfect spot for a grab-and-go meal. We'll definitely be back!!!

Delicious turkey pesto grilled cheese, perfectly crispy and flavorful. The staff were super friendly and the place has a nice, laid-back vibe. The food came out quick. Definitely recommend if you're in Sebastopol. I want to try their burger next!

OMFG!!!! Are you freaking kidding me kidding me? This place has a chicken parm that is a must try for you parm fans out there. They are using Chris Bianco's sauce which is the best can sauces you can get on the market according to Andy and Brad Leone from Bon Appetite and me. Don't sleep on this sandwich it's so good and it's got ricotta, mozzarella and provolone and the cutlet is thin and delicious. I've had the chicken parm from Parm in NYC and this is a pretty good substitute if you want to save the airfare or gas. Then we had the special burger of the day Spicy Oklahoma and it was #TDF this place is the joint and I can't wait to come back for all the other items. I definitely need to try everything. Make sure you stop by and enjoy the food, vibe, and staff.

Great food and service at a fair price. The fries are some of the best around and worth upgrading! I've loved everything I've tried here.

Smash burger with fries!

We love Fircrest!…read more Not only do we appreciate a locally owned market, but we REALLY appreciate a locally owned market with great produce--and Fircrest always has great produce, specifically, great avocados! in the near decade that we've been shopping there, we've gotten only ONE subpar avocado. can you believe that? Oh, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the corn and the artichokes, which are always up there with their primo avocado quality! Fircrest is nearly worth it just for the avocado alone, but we've purchased lots of items there and appreciate that it's so close to home, so it's great when we just need a few more items to make dinner! They, also, have some really good beer!

Awesome produce and deli...most of the staff are so friendly and helpful…read more Went today though and the cashier "Linda G" (says on the receipt) was being very odd and judgmental about me trying to buy some damn Jiffy Pop as a fun little thing for my kiddos who were with me . She kept telling me I should be making popcorn from scratch. Like, please mind your own business lady, it's Jiffy Pop?? Not like it was any of her concern but we usually do make it from scratch. I was so confused what the heck was happening because she was dead serious and like, wouldn't drop it until I awkwardly had to change the subject and leave? It made me really uncomfortable. Chill out Linda! I don't want to have to justify my purchases, makes me feel weird about going back.

We got a variety of things - I forgot to take pics of everything but what we ordered was DELICIOUS!! We got the Deluxe Falafel Sandwich because it included eggplant (sorry no pic). I gobbled it up right away - crunchy falafel with creamy hummus, with a bit of lettuce, tomato and eggplant, with the slices of pickles took it to the top - along with their tahini sauce. We got the spicy sauce on the side so we can top on as much as we wanted. Delicious!! So much flavor and textures... We also shared a Lamb Gyro - and their pita was soft and pillowy - yet great texture outside. Add the tender slices of lamb, topped with the tabouli and fresh veggies!! Having the bits of red onions really gave it that extra flavor. All around one of the best - it helps with fresh pita!! Friends also got the Gyros - one got the beef gyros plate - they loved the hummus. They also got the lentil soup. I think they enjoyed it. They definitely finished it up. Another friend got the chicken sandwich. It was hot and messy but they enjoyed it. Was very juicy. Definitely EXCELLENT food and a little hidden gem!! I think this is a local place as we didn't see a lot of tourist come through here which makes it even more special!!

Cock Robin was a great lunch stop during our visit to the Santa Rosa/Sebastapol area…read more We ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken tenders with sweet potato fries. It's worth noting that nothing comes in a combo here. Lunch was about $35. The service was good and the cashier was friendly. You order at the counter and get your own food here when it's ready. It didn't take too long for food to come out. The food was good. Chicken tender breading was a bit strange and did not offer much crisp. I wish they used a different breading process. Chicken sandwich had lots of flavor. The dips were bomb. I enjoyed the burger sauce the most. Some of the sweet potato fries ended up overcooked. The outdoor seating options here were awesome. I loved the back patio with turf areas for the kids to play in the gorgeous weather. Overall, a great place to grab a bite, but the fried chicken scene is so crowded and Cock Robin isn't quite doing enough to edge out five stars.

While the ambiance is delightful, my experience with the food was mixed; the cheese curds and onion rings were tasty, but my cheeseburger, cooked well-done as their standard, lacked the juiciness and flavor I was hoping for, and the patty could have been cooked a tad longer for better taste. The rose served was quite a minimal pour, and my husband's beer was satisfactory-he liked it. Service: welcoming and helpful.
