I found this restaurant on Yelp, I was in the area and decided to try them for the first time. Unfortunately it closed a little earlier on Sunday, I felt bumped out, but I will definitely come back to give it a try, just maybe not on a Sunday!

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.

Clean and bright interior

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?!

Tomato soup.  Full flavor but not too heavy.
James M.

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!

Ron B.

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!
Kevin G.

Came back for one of their famous smash burgers cause my partner said it was the best one he's ever had .. it was excellent plus their French fries are perfection! Here's the thing about this place : they use top shelf ingredients and it's obvious in every bite.

Chicken sandwich is so good!

The Farmer's Wife has a small counter at The Barlow. There's not much, except a small refrigerator…read morefor drinks and an order counter. The menu consist of sandwiches and fries, however they do those two things very well. You pay a hefty price but the flavors are so thoughtful and fresh. You will not regret it. I ordered the sauerkraut and avocado sandwich with a side of fries for ~$30. I know, it's expensive but damn it was good. The sauerkraut consist of turmeric, carrot, and cabbage. The flavor was a perfect match with melted cheddar in the sandwich. I can understand why this is the best seller. The side of fries were salty and crunchy. I can tell they are freshly made and possibly hand cut. Orders are made to go, but there are plenty of spots to land and enjoy. I went over to Golden Gate Cider a few steps away. You can also order using a QRcode at Golden State Cider if you decide you're hungry after a few.

I understand that the Barlow is a destination and such where you will pay more for your meals, but…read morehonestly portion to cost is a bit much here. I've only been once and quite honestly that was enough for me. I grabbed a sandwich and a side salad, but the side salad was essentially two to three bites worth and quite plain. As for the sandwich, it was good, but again not that large for the price point. If there were no other options nearby, I could see this shop slammed all the time, but many opt for other restaurants as you get more bang for your buck that may be a bit tastier, but just my two cents. Will I rule them out for a future visit, not necessarily, but I always tend to hit a few other spots first if hungry unfortunately.

Great experience with great food…read more I ordered off their Happy Hour menu which is only available Sunday to Friday between 3-6 PM I believe. Restaurant was fairly empty and we were seated immediately. The server was helpful in clarifying that the happy hour menu was only available at the bar and helped get us seated. The food came quickly and the truffle fries were great. It was crispy, not too salty, and the white sauce was a very nice sweet and savory mix. Meanwhile the fried chicken sandwich was amazing. It was probably one of the best I've had. The fried chicken was very crispy while being moist on the inside. The sauce was delicious and worked very well with the crispy chicken. They were generous with the sauce too as it dripped out of the sandwich. Definitely get ready for a little mess.

A birthday night! Another delicious visit to Blue Ridge…read moreKitchen! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and a cozy ambiance that perfectly captures the rustic decor and autumn charm of the season. A huge shoutout to Cindy for her outstanding service! She made us feel right at home and was attentive without being intrusive - the kind of service that makes your experience all the more enjoyable. We indulged in the, truffle fries--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and the truffle oil made them divine,Matt's smoked Gouda smash burgers, which were a flavor explosion - juicy, cheesy, and cooked to perfection. We also tried the special beet salad, which was not only delicious but visually stunning as well. To compliment our dinner choices--we enjoyed a refreshing cucumber Gimlet cocktail, an espresso martini (a delightful twist on the classic), and a traditional martini. Blue Ridge Kitchen continues to impress with its incredible food, inviting atmosphere, and stellar service. One of our favs!

Came to the Fern Bar for dinner and really enjoyed ourselves…read more Showed up early and had a couple of drinks. Started off funky with the U-Be Trippin which was an interesting mix, not sure the sesame seeds won me over, but a clever drink. My wife got the Creamsicle which she liked. I then went old school with a Manhattan. Didn't live the orange peal, it sort of overpowered the drink and just seemed out of place. Got some fries just to sit with, they were great. 2 friends joined for dinner and we just got a ton of small plates. Pickles, Falafel, Numb Nums, Lamb meatballs, Kimchijeon were all great. Standouts for me because they were unique were the Numb Nums (which yes, numbed your tongue, weird) and the Kimchijeon (kimchi pancake). Second time I've been to Sebastopol in like 10 years, but next time, wouldn't hesitate to return.

I'm a little weary about pickled onions, but the pickled shallots on the burger were absolutely fantastic on the burger it was a gentle more subtle onion flavor. YUM! Would eat again!
