    a sign for lunch box diner
    Hannah H.

    The Lunch Box is a tasty little gem of a diner, where you can definitely get your breakfast fix! We came here for an early breakfast, and we ordered: +country fried steak - don't forget to get some fried onions to top your country fried steak! I just wished they had some type of a gravy, though +corned beef hash +chicken & cheese sub - I wasn't a fan of the chicken & cheese, but the hubs was - it was more than enough food that he also had enough for lunch the following day! +1 pancake - this was large and fluffy; super tasty! The breakfast platters came with a side of eggs, home fries (you can ask for these to be deep-fried - YAS!), and your choice of toast, while the sub came with a side of chips Staff here are welcoming and kind, and provides service with a smile; I recommend in you sitting up at the counter. They have a small lot to park your car, but there's also plenty of street parking. +deep-fried home fries! +tasty pancakes! +friendly service! +plenty of parking on the street and in their small lot +ask for counter seating

    Very small homey, little restaurant, where everybody seemed to know everyone else. The waiters were all very nice and welcoming as well. It took a while for the food to come out and for the them to get us a check, but that's to be expected at such a small spot. I got the breakfast plate with a fish cake, potatoes, and scrambled eggs. The food wasn't amazing per se, but it was decent, and well cooked. I tried my mom's scrapple, and that was probably the best thing there. Overall, the restaurant had a very welcoming homey type vibe, and the food fit the restaurant.

    Such a tiny, cozy, bit run down, old place with many counter seats and tables. Everyone know everyone except for me. I was the new face but everyone was SUPER friendly especially the employees! They were very efficient and work so well together but above all, the food was hot, fresh, and seasoned enough to where all i needed were a bit of salt and pepper. The grits were buttery, creamy, and hot, the fish was pipping hot, lightly coated; and crispy. This place is five minutes from house and that was my first time there and i been in the area for almost 20 years but I DEFINITELY will go back for breakfast and lunch!

    I had this place randomly as I visited a friend who lived close by. The ladies are so nice in there and I loved their service. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich which was pretty good. The only thing is wrapping it up in aluminum foil made my bread a tad soggy but other than that I would eat here again.

Nothing really stood out, but nothing was terrible either. The restaurant has the typical crab house setup with brown paper covering the tables, and everything was spaced out nicely. We decided to sit at the bar, which is fairly small. I'd estimate there are only about eight bar stools. For drinks, I had two Moscow Mules, and my friend ordered two Lemon Drops. Both were good, especially for happy hour, and the prices were reasonable. The only food we ordered was the fried calamari, which came served in a small boat tray. The bartender also handed us plain white paper plates.... the same disposable plates you can buy at walmart. I'm definitely not someone who expects fine dining at a crab spot, but it felt a little lazy. Most seafood restaurants at least use branded paper trays or sturdier disposable plates that fit the experience. I completely understand that restaurants are dealing with rising costs, but this small detail took away from the overall presentation. Since we only ordered an appetizer, I can't fairly comment on the rest of the menu. However, I noticed several tables enjoying steamed crabs, while most of the people sitting at the bar had fried seafood platters with shrimp, fries, and hush puppies. Everyone seemed happy with their meals, so that's always a good sign. I did make a trip to the restroom, and while it was clean enough, the stall door was difficult to close and lock properly. I actually had to hold the door shut while using the restroom, which is something I hope they fix soon. We ended up staying for about two hours, and the atmosphere was relaxed and easygoing. Another plus is the large parking lot, which made parking convenient. Overall, Crab Boat was just okay. The happy hour prices were good, the drinks did the job, and the service was fine. I don't see myself going out of my way to return, but if I were in the area and wanted to grab a reasonably priced drink or it was one of the only available options, I wouldn't mind stopping in again.

Waiting for our food, we heard the booth behind us yell and ask for a manager. When we looked around to see the source of commotion, the gentleman behind us pointed out there was a cockroach on the wooden partition beside our table. We moved away from the wall and partition until the manager came. By the time he got there it was by our table, the manager asked me to move so he could see and kill it. He then proceeded to go to the table that pointed out the roach and apologized profusely. He comped their meals, offered dessert, and even two double shots of Jack Daniels...and then walked off. I didn't really care about the comps, but a quick, "hey, sorry that happened" would have been nice to our table, since I had to move to let him observe and kill the roach. We finished up sitting away from the wall area in case the roaches friends wanted to come out and play too. Hopefully it's not a more widespread issue.

The BBQ sauce was different but I enjoyed it. Their BBQ sauce does not taste as strong as other offerings. I like the sauce because it was different. It was a nice mild taste. We like coming to Texas Roadhouse for a change of pace. If we both ate steak, we would come here more often.

On a Saturday afternoon, the wait time for a table for two was about 20 minutes, which is fairly typical for the weekend rush. Once we were seated, the overall atmosphere was comfortable, but the service left a bit to be desired. Our waiter was polite but very slow to make rounds, and it took quite a while to get refills or check in on our order. When it came time to pay, the checkout process dragged on for nearly 15 minutes, which definitely tested our patience. That said, the food itself was delicious and came out hot and freshly prepared. I ordered the chicken and waffles, and it was worth the wait. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned, while the waffles were light and golden with just the right amount of sweetness. The butter was a pleasant surprise--rich, creamy, and flavorful enough to stand out on its own. Everything tasted freshly made, and the presentation was neat and appetizing. Overall, IHOP in La Plata is a solid choice for a casual dining experience when you're craving hearty comfort food. While the service could be faster, the quality and taste of the meal made up for it. I'd definitely come back again and recommend this location to anyone looking for a reliable breakfast, brunch, or dinner spot that delivers on flavor and familiarity.
