I went to lunch break on my lunch break with some colleagues while in town for training. This is definitely a great local spot featuring fresh food from a family tan establishment. I got the feeling the people working here were family, that they took pride in the food they were selling. The gentleman that served us was very polite, had a nice smile that welcomed us into his business. The sandwich I ordered was great, the turkey was fresh & the bread was the perfect blend of soft & firm at the same time. Next time I'm in Phoenix, I will be by to get another sandwich from this family friendly establishment. Thank you! read more

Cute little sandwich shop right off 40th Street and Roeser. A little difficult to find it is in a business complex. Just look for the umbrellas and you should be able to find it at the entrance. I have the number 99 croissant sandwich. Everything was prepared nicely and the staff was friendly. Only complaint was they did not have any tomatoes. When I'm in that area I will be coming back to try some of their other signature sandwiches. Have a large diverse menu with some interesting items. read more

While in Phoenix on business, my coworkers and I decided to give Lunch Break a try. The place is located in a business complex. They have a couple tables outside for eating and several inside. You order and pay at the counter. Upon arrival, we noticed they had a board with their daily lunch special posted near the entrance. I opted for the lunch special, which included a turkey and provolone cheese sandwich, chips, and a fountain soda. I ordered my sandwich on sourdough bread slices. The food was delivered to us within just a few moments and was very good. The sandwich was great. The soda was self-serve, and the chip options were plenty. The nice lady who allowed me to joke with her, delivered our food and came back around to check on us as well. If you are in the area and want a great lunch for a reasonable price, give them a try. read more

Amazing food, generous portion sizes, and run by the sweetest family! I love coming here

Best meatball hoagie in Phoenix!!! I used to go here on my actual lunch break at my old job and still do to this day. The owners are very friendly and inviting read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out after we saw the reviews and how close by it was. We were not disappointed! This place has a wide variety on their menu and everything is DELICIOUS! I got the Santa Fe Chicken Wrap and it was the best I've ever had! The service is amazing and the staff is so friendly. This is our new favorite spot! I'm so excited to continue coming here and trying everything on the menu read more

Lunch Break is a nice little place for a quick lunch in the South Phoenix area off of 40th street. They have sandwiches, wraps, salads, and soups that is always fresh food with a nice variety. The owners are extremely friendly, they are always willing to try new sandwiches on their menu. Their menu offers chips, macaroni/potato salad, cottage cheese and yogurt as sides to the combo. Prices are very reasonable. They also have breakfast here, i have never tried but it is on my list :) read more

Location: The restaurant doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside. I mean, it's in an industrial area in an imendustrial building. May be a bit hard to spot, but nothing a GPS can't help with. Service: At first glance, it didn't seem like much. But when I ordered my food, the owner (at least I think he is) gave me a free chocolate chip cookie. That was because I got confused about how their lunch combos worked and he offered me a cookie along with the chips I chose. The rest of the staff is also really friendly. +1 because I'm a sucker for chocolate chip cookies. Food: I ordered a cajun turkey panini (#21), my brother ordered a Caesar Salad w/o chicken, and my dad ordered a California Chicken Sandwich (#7). For the panini, I love how thin they sliced their tomatoes. I didn't taste much of the cajun flavor, but overall I still enjoyed it. My brother said that the Caesar Salad isn't the best he's ever had, but it's definitely above average. Dad also enjoyed his sandwich (no idea why though). Overall: In all honesty, I would give the food here 4 stars, but I HAVE to give an extra star for that free cookie. Got to have my cookies! read more

Decent sandwich shop this is, 5 star it is not. -Yoda This is one of those captive audience establishments. Hidden inside a square mile if business park sprawl, it's destined to generate business simply due to its convenience. This is very average sandwich spot. The menu includes all the usual suspects you'd expect to see, from hot sandwiches, paninis (don't see a need for distinction between hot sandwiches), cold sandwiches, salads, wraps, etc... The ingredients are decent, and better than most corporate sandwich joints. The cold cuts are average and sourced from a food supplier... This place is definitely not making pastrami or roast beef in house. The produce and bread is of similar grade. Hot sandwiches are partially prepared in a microwave for this they receive a 1 star demotion... Even the deli in a supermarket had one of those industrial grade convection ovens. Overall the sandwiches aren't bad, they are not however, great. The microwaving shows me a lack of effort, which I think is due to their captive audience. There is no reason for them to do anything than what's acceptable enough to retain the customers from the adjacent businesses. As for what is in an immediate half mile radius, this might be your best option for a sandwich though. read more

Food was amazing! Best tuna salad I ever had. Even my own! Everyone in our group raved about their food. Great service! Trusted the reviews and did not disappoint. read more

First time here and I think it's lovely. I work around this area and want to keep coming back. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They keep the place clean and it's just a calming environment. I got the sandwich and salad combo and it was delicious! :) ....I wonder how tasty their breakfast items are. read more

Lunch Break - Sandwiches Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came here for a quick lunch. If you didn't know what you were looking for, this place can be easily missed. There's a small side up front but hard to see. I accidentally found the parking in the back but it was nice that they had a few slots specifically for them. Got there around noon and the line moved pretty quick. There's a big selection of hot and cold sandwiches as well as salads. I opted for the hot pastrami sandwich. The food came out quick but my hot sandwich was more warm. Compared to other pastrami sandwiches, the one here was ok. The best part of this sandwich was that the meat was thinly sliced and very tender. read more

This is a great spot for breakfast lunch low key location which is good for the rush hour times.

1st time there- Great food, friendly staff. Lots of choices for lunch. Definately will be back

Huge variety of sandwich and salad options for an affordable price. Everything is fresh. You can order for pick up or delivery. The owners are super sweet and very helpful as they are the ones behind the counter. Definitely would recommend. read more

What a great little lunch place! The sandwiches are great and reasonably price. I will always stop here when I have the chance!

Ordered their Greek Salad and soup of the day which was wild rice & chicken soup. Lunch was semi busy and the food was good. I would definitely come back again and order something else to try. Local and close from my office. Easy to find but you might have to park in the back North of the building. read more

I've been looking for a spot to grab a quick bite to eat in this area of town and I finally heard about this place from a friend and came here with her for breakfast. First impressions were nothing to write home about. Located in an industrial plaza, you would never know this little joint even existed from the main street. When you pull up there are only two parking spots immediately in front of the restaurant. I believe the others are around the corner but we came at 9:30am on a Friday and were able to snag both spots. Upon entering, I noticed we were the only two patrons. We weren't greeted for quite some time as the only employee (possibly one of the owners) working behind the counter seemed more focused on finishing the ticketed orders. Another patron walked in - he seemed like a regular - and asked if we had been helped yet; we both said no. He spoke to the woman and cracked a joke about getting some service. Even still, the woman didn't speak or stop what she was doing! Finally, she helped us but by that time, the other gentleman had left out as he got tired of waiting. Once she helped us, she didn't apologize for the wait and wasn't super friendly. Interestingly, as soon as she began helping us, two other workers appeared from the back. It was actually quite strange. One, I believe was her husband (maybe the co-owner). They bantered a bit back and forth and apparently she had made a bunch of the orders incorrectly. After ordering at the counter, my friend and I grabbed a table and sat down to wait for our food. After a few minutes, I asked for a cup for water and overheard them discussing how he had made my friend's breakfast bowl with sausage when she had ordered it without. I actually watched him physically pick the sausage off of it - thank goodness he was wearing gloves! All that being said, the service, eh, was not the best. In terms of the food, I ordered a panini bacon egg sandwich and it was just ok. It didn't come served with any sides. For $7, I'm not sure it was worth it. My friend ordered a breakfast bowl and she noticed there were a few sausage pieces remaining in it. It came in a very small paper bowl - she seemed to still enjoy it. I was looking forward to ordering a coffee drink but they only had one of those diner coffee pots that was just about empty and looked like it had been sitting on the burner for several hours. They had refrigerated drinks but I opted for water from the fountain machine, which turned out to be Arizona tap water (blah!). If I was in a jam, starving, and in the area, I would consider giving this place another shot. But my first experience here definitely wasn't great. read more

They're really good I luv the Santa Fe Chicken salad, meatball sub, and all of the sandwiches. Best desserts and great customer service they care about their customers and they remember who you are even after not going in for a long time due to Covid. read more

Always great, easy to get to, and imo the best sandwich shop in South Phoenix. Delicious sandwiches, wraps, and sides for very reasonable prices. Always made fresh - and fast! read more

Ordered the California chicken sandwich, tasted excellent and fresh. Would recommend to friends. read more

Nothing special about any of the three cold deli sandwiches I've tried here. Not sure why the reviews are so high on Yelp. It's not bad but nothing I would tell somebody they had to try. read more

This is a small place that is easy to miss but work the effort. The deli appears to be run by a couple. Very friendly. Lots of sandwich and salad options on the menu board. my southwest chicken salad was very good and only about $8. Freshly brewed iced tea. read more

I love this place. Restaurant is always clean and the food will not leave you hungry. Come and receive great service and great food on your break or drive to or from work read more

Ordered the Croissant Club - YUM!! Menu is HUGE and everything sounds so good! Cute small shop with exceptionally friendly owners. Calls known customers by name. I am very pleased and will definitely come back as I have a lot of items to get through read more

Stopped in for lunch. Great hot Reuben Sandwich only 6.99! Will be back to try more of menu

Decent salad. Good for a quick lunch. Good variety on the menu. I got the Santa Fe chicken salad, I chose ranch rather then the dressing it comes with. The ranch tasted like craft ranch from the bottle. Not anywhere I would go out of my way to eat. read more

Excellent little place to have lunch. Staff is friendly and the food is fresh. The prices are average. read more

This is one of those places you can come everyday for lunch. Daily special is 8.49 and food is always fresh. The wait is never long

Other than the text on the menu being a little hard to read because it's so small (understandably so there's a lot on it! So many options) & parking being sparse, I have no complaints. The restaurant was clean, the service was quick & friendly. The food, which came out quickly, was delicious! This is definitely a great hole-in-the-wall breakfast & lunch spot! read more

I've been coming here since this little sandwich spot opened years ago. It's now on it's third owners and they have made some big improvements. It was great before as my go to place for a sandwich on the way to work. Now it's even better with a wider variety of foods that includes Hummus (yippie) and breakfast items. They still have my favorite Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Tomato and Lettuce/Sprouts on a Croissant and the Roast Beef, Bacon with BBQ sauce on a Whole Wheat Roll along with a big selection of new delicacies. I still love their potato salad. So yummy. They even do some nice breakfast foods that are far better than anything at a fast food place. If you work in the area or are just passing through, this is a great place for a good lunch. read more

The only spot I like to eat at near work! This place is a hidden treasure! They have the best panini's & veggie pasta! Highly recommend if you are looking for a healthier lunch option! read more

Ok so this is long overdue. This place is amazing! I order from here anywhere from 2-4 times a week and they are always on point with everything! Not only do they remember all the small details of my order, but they deliver promptly! I get the #10, and a bagel and it's always satisfying and delicious. The ham they use is amazing! The owner and all the people who work there (I believe it's family owned and operated but I'm not sure) are super nice and catering! There are occasions I actually go in and eat instead of ordering, and it's always superb. Friendly, fast, delicious! Best part is, I live one block away!!! Keep it up and thank you!!!! read more

It's amazing how easy it is to overlook reviewing places you frequent - just was headed to lunch and wondering what reviews said about The Lunch Break. Surprised to find no reviews (however, it is off the beaten path for most I think - more of an industrial park breakfast and lunch stop). The Lunch Break is just that - a small breakfast and lunch spot tucked into an industrial park. The current owner, Darryl, has worked hard to improve the menu and facilities. He has added tasty hot sandwiches and expanded their patio to be more comfortable on those nice days. It's one of those places that if you frequent enough they will greet you by name (I frequent so often, and order the same thing so much that they sometimes have it made and ready before I get to the front of the line!). Definitely a recommend for an easy/quick lunch without eating fast food. Good sandwiches and salads! read more

I have to update my review, because the more I visit Lunch Break, the more I enjoy this really great hole-in-the-wall for lunch! They have gotten significantly quicker at processing orders. Even during the really busy hour of the lunch rush, I never have to wait more than 5 minutes or so to get my order. They have a great, extensive menu with SO many options... And hands-down, the BEST soup! I have not had or tried a soup I did not like. They all taste and have the quality of home made and it goes perfect with their half-sandwich combo. Same with the macaroni, potato & pasta salads. Pretty much everything is really good! The staff absolutely recognizes you and knows you by name after a few visits. They are a great bunch to see on a regular basis and the environment is pleasant. I really like their rewards thing, too- after 10 visits, you get $5.99 off your next visit. Much appreciated to get a free meal every so often! Asking for no tomatoes is still a hit or miss. Usually a hit because it seems that small request is only missed during really busy times for the kitchen staff. But I love this place and their great quality of fresh food & superb customer service! read more

Great place! People are awesome and the food is SO good. The chicken salad on a croissant is delicious, macaroni salad is awesome. There are a lot of options on the menu so you'll be able to find something that hits the spot. read more

Nice little hidden gem that I feel a lot of local business people go to for a quick but delicious bite to eat. When I say bite I say generously sized sandwiches. I walked in about 15 minutes before they closed(no I'm not usually that person but I was getting hangry and knew I was going to be stuck in traffic). I was greeted by a friendly older gentleman, gave me some time to look since I was a first timer. I went with the croissant delight. I'll put it simplistically: club with avocado and sprouts on a crossiant=absolutely yummy! I had given my father a piece of it since I couldn't eat all of it and he to would vouch for them. I'll definitely be back :) read more

Lunch Break's food is always fresh, tasty, and so far my experiences have been that they have my order ready in a timely manner. The customer service here is FANTASTIC, everyone that works here is very sweet - the kind of place that definitely develops a relationship with their regulars. I started going here because it is near my work and have found that I now crave those veggie sandwiches on the weekend which means I do my best to get my fix during the week. :) Highly recommended!! read more
