I have nothing but accolades for this place! I stopped in with a party of 6 during peak lunch times and we were sat (and waited on) right away. Our server (who I so regret not recalling the name of, it would have been worth it to remember) was an absolute GEM of a person. She not only answered our million and one questions, but she had us laughing and smiling with her perfectly timed quips and subtle jokes. Before we ever got served a single dish, we were already invested in The Lunch Box for good. Once the food arrived, we were even happier! Most of us opted to "make it a lunch box" which includes a sandwich of your choice, plus 3 (3!!) sides. For the price, quality, and quantity, they simply can't be beat. The food was indicative of stopping by your grandma's house for a quick bite and leaving haven been fed a hearty meal made with love. Not a single complaint could be made about any of the food items we got (which by the amount of us, we got nearly everything on the menu) and mixed with the stellar service, The Lunch Box was a favorite of everybody during our week long trip. A fantastic find I hope to enjoy again! read more

You cannot be there , chicken salad sandwich or they're egg salad sandwich and they're pies or fabulous Save room for the coconut cream.

A cozy hidden gem in the middle of the block that you can't even see from the street. The sandwiches are tasty but the pie is delectable

I ate lunch here with a friend. It's a very simple cafe, but the food is so fresh! It's tiny and very cute inside but also cute outside as well. It's kind of hard to find. You have to park and walk in the middle of the strip, you can't easily see it from the parking lot. The actual restaurant is very old timey. They have cute vintage lunch boxes set up on the walls. They even have an old menu from probably a long time ago. They do have a bunch of vegetarian options, especially sides. I got the veggie sandwich. It had cucumber, tomatoes, an avocado spread, and some sort of veggie cream cheese I got it on the grain bread. It was so good! The vegetables were super fresh. It was a really simple sandwich that tasted homemade. It's better than McAllister's deli or Panera bread because I feel like it's just more homemade. Also, the crowd is very eclectic. There's a bunch of old retired people, there are families, there are people coming in from work, and then there are random students. This place is clearly loved by the community and it also seems to be a family owned café and not some sort of chain which makes me feel better about supporting it. I would definitely recommend this place to someone. The prices are very affordable, which is nice. read more

TCU Turkey all the way! An excellent pimento cheese as well! (Get that on marble rye). Food is always severed fast.

What a great lunch place! It's casual, friendly, and the food is amazing! Today I had the TCU Turkey Sandwich, turkey-avocado-and a wonderful herb cream cheese. I chose white bread, you can choose from different types; croissant, sourdough, etc. And I've had the egg salad and some of the soups as well. Very nice place for lunch with friends. read more

Love the chicken and tuna salads on bed of spinach. Fresh fruit on the side. Friendly and Nice atmosphere and great customer service.

We ordered breakfast delivered for my office. The lunch box has a great selection. Their pastries are phenomenal as is their quiche. The fruit is fresh and the yogurt is great too. Delivery was on time. read more

The Lunch Box - Chicken salad sandwich - New American Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Such a cute place to grab an amazing lunch! The chicken salad is so good!! The staff was so kind!

A very interesting place for sure. It is tucked back in this cute little part of the shopping center. It was a little crazy with a full seating section (one was closed) & one man server. Coffee was AMAZING!!! Food wasn't anything to write home about but okay. I did not enjoy the pasta salad so I will try something next time. And yes I will be back. read more

I'm a sucker for a simple menu done well! This place is tucked away in the village of camp bowie. I've had their catered sandwiches before, but this was my first time visiting in person. The egg salad is phenomenal and it's so sweet and bright inside the restaurant. Staff were super friendly as well! read more

Always on point. Period. This is a hidden gem if there ever was one! Stuck away back in the 6333 shopping center behind Stanley Eisman shoes and the recently opened blue butterfly cafe. It's worth looking for. The food is always the freshest you'll get anywhere. The sweetest of fruit and the best chicken salad in town!! It does contain poppy seeds if you have an aversion to those. The pimento cheese is also excellent but a tad spicy. I love it but don't order if you don't care for spice. You have your choice of bread on all sandwiches from plain ole white to marble rye and even a croissant. The quiche is good too. I highly recommend giving their peach/Mango tea a go as it's my favorite. Restrooms are small but clean. There is always plenty of parking. Oh and they have brunch on Saturday. I haven't been but if it compares to the quality of their lunch menu I need to get there! read more

Excellent food, and a cool, nostalgic decor with antique school lunch boxes on the walls! Sandwiches are large enough that you might decide to save the second half for dinner. Fresh vegetables and plenty of meat on delicious bread! Check it out. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Awesome chicken salad sandwiches! Old school recipe that's SO good. Every time I take their sandwiches anywhere people just love them.

I've loved this place for years, so it's about time I said so. The food is outstanding across the board and the service is attentive and excellent. And it doesn't matter whether I'm dining in or getting something to go - it's always consistent and delicious. Specifically, the turkey sandwich is so good and always with a generous portion of turkey, the tomato soup is awesome, their coffee is outstanding and the chicken salad is absolutely the best I've ever had - and I consider myself a chicken salad connoisseur. Do yourself a favor: if you haven't been to The Lunch Box, treat yourself today read more

Food was delicious! We did takeout and it hit the spot! The food was fresh and packaged nicely!

My aunt and I wanted to go out for lunch, and she introduced me to this wonderful place. I didn't know it was here, and I'm glad we checked it out. Due to Covid-19, the indoor dining area was closed; however, there were about a handful of tables available in the inner courtyard of the shopping complex. After finding a table that wasn't wobbly, we sat down. In no time at all, our lunches were delivered in wonderful cardboard lunch boxes. How neat! I had the black forest ham on rye with both pasta and potato salad. The food was absolutely delicious. I'll have to come back here again if I ever find myself in the area. read more

The Lunch Box - a sign on the side of a building - New American Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Although this place is hard to locate, you will not regret coming to this spot. I believe this place is known for offering large catering services for schools, etc - but if you're looking for a good start to your day, come check this place out. Immediately after coming through their front door, I was helped. It was hard to choose which item to order (mainly because everything sounded appetizing) - I eventually settled on their croissant breakfast sandwich w/ potatoes on the side. The sandwich was affordable, super flaky & buttery, and the portion size was great. I was not aware before, but the bakery they're connected to opens only on Saturday. I heard some good things about it, so definitely try to check out this place on Saturdays so you can experience both!! read more

Just a fyi to others who love and are picky with their salad lettuce choice. Chose the Cobb salad because it stated it was a mix of romaine and ice berg. My salad only had one piece of romaine lettuce. The chicken is dry and unseasoned. read more

The Lunch Box - Cobb salad - New American Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Went for a club sandwich today. Interesting color scheme inside. Not many choices on menu. Club sandwich not your traditional type. Just two slices of bread and ingredients in between kinda strange. Ample amounts of meats cheese and bacon. Very tasty. Where it fell apart for me was the sourdough bread. The bread was very tough and crust so hard it was even too hard to cut The rest seemed a bit old and stale. Very disappointing. Meats and cheeses very good, bread very bad. Probably would not go back. Also this is not a club sandwich. Just a sandwich with club ingredients. You should rename this as it is not a club sandwich. Sorry to say. read more

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally made it in and wow, it did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was delicious! I got the Turkey sandwich on sourdough with potato salad and a brownie, my husband got the club on sourdough with a side of chips, and my son got the pb&j with fruit. All three sandwiches and all the sides were wonderful. The pickles seem to be homemade. The brownie was amazing, as all Black Rooster Bakery treats are! Prices were very reasonable and the portions were large. The Lunch Box will definitely be one of our go to lunch spots from now on. read more

I love this place ! My favorite sandwich is the Chicken salad. The delicious peanut butter cookies are exactly like grandma made! read more

This place knows how to make a sandwich!!! I got the veggie sandwich in sourdough and let me tell you the veggies were very generously sliced. Not like other places where you can read a newspaper through the cucumber or tomato slices . read more

It feels so homey here at The Lunch Box. It's bright, cool, and cheery inside; painted with greens and yellows and staffed with smiling, friendly, non-hovering staff. Original Spanish tiles (still holding strong for over 40 years) cover the floors, complete with an adorable pair of puppy footprints in the back corner. I know it's a bit hard to find the entrance, but just follow the green and yellow signs! I had the honor of talking with the new owner, Imran, who told me a bit about The Lunch Box's history and future. He and his family haven't removed anything from this locally-loved restaurant's menu: they're still serving the classics; chicken, tuna, pimento, and egg salad, simple sandwiches, soups, fruit salad, and homemade ice-box pies. They've added just a few things, like vegetarian, gluten-free (GF bread), and dairy-free options! Plus, they're open 7 days a week now instead of 6. Try the stuffed avocado for $9.25! A scoop of your choice (tuna, chicken, pimento, and egg) on top of a whole avocado. I couldn't make a decision, so I had a tiny scoop of each salad. Now I know the chicken salad is famous around these parts, and it was dang good, but I loved the egg salad the most. It was just so simple, clean, and perfect. The pimento may take second place... I know it's a weird shade of orange, but this cheese is delicious! The tuna and chicken salad were equally grand; moist, seasoned beautifully, and dotted with the tiniest diced veggies. My avocado was fantastic and it sat on a bed of lettuce, decorated with baby carrots, olives, strawberries, and a pickle! I loved having a little bit of everything :) This isn't the cheapest menu around town, especially for soup and sandwiches, but you won't spend over $10-$12 (most sandwiches with chips and a pickle are $7.25). The soup of the day and quiche are constantly rotating, so check their website (which is so fantastically up-to-date)! The Lunch Box is definitely a Fort Worth destination cafe. People drive in from surrounding cities just to eat here! If you come in on the weekend, you'll probably see a fair mix of brand new patrons who live outside Fort Worth and local old-timers who have been dining here since the 70s. The Lunch Box isn't a rowdy spot, but it's not a dainty tea-house either. Why not give it a shot and become part of this local restaurant's awesome history? read more

This is more like a review for two locations, because I came here for brunch but the food that was served to me was from the Black rooster, the experience was great, the food and the restaurant. The two restaurants are located inside of the building, a little hard to find if you never been, just look for the colorful chairs. Once you get in, the atmosphere is very calm, trendy, stylish, very nice, although server took forever to great me, I was just standing there like "hey can you help me?" So be a little patient, maybe that was just my experience. Arriving to the table, they have two menus, the one for black rooster and bakery place, everything I had was from black rooster, and the service was great !! I had the yogurt & granola, the French toast and a latte. The portion are big and filling; I really recommend this place for brunch :) read more

So while at the Navy base in Fort worth, I was looking for something delicious, reasonable and healthy. I found the lunchbox, it met all 3 requirements and the staff were extremely pleasant.

A solid 4 1/2 stars. What a great time to enjoy fine company, a nice Mimosa, and delicious food. Tried the majority of the sandwich offering's and here are my reviews. 1. Reuben. 5 stars. Perfect balance of ingredients on a nice warm Marble Rye. My favorite. 2. Pimiento Cheese. 5 stars. Homemade and delicious. I want this recipe... 3. Club. 4 stars. Solid and satisfying. 4. Ham and Avocado. 4 stars. Fresh avocado was the stand out. Part of the Holy Trinity. Bacon, Cheese, and Avocado. 5. Tuna Salad. 3 stars. Fresh but for me was just OK. 6. Chicken Salad. 2 1/2 stars. I love Chicken Salad and by far my favorite sandwich ingredient. For me, it tasted like chicken and mayo, with no added crunch (apples, grapes, or walnuts) that I like in a solid Chicken Salad. The Salad, solid 5 stars, and with the added Poppy Seed Dressing, this may be my favorite salad combo of all time. Potato salad. Solid 4 stars. Very homemade and very, very good. Thanks Lunch Box for a great meal and allowing us yelpers to enjoy your great restaurant. Will definitely be back! read more

Delicious chicken salad sandwich! I got the chicken salad on a croissant and it was great. My only complaint is that I don't know how fresh the chicken was because it has a little bit of a tuna feel to it. That being said if you don't like tuna I would highly doubt that you'll like this chicken salad mix. I took it to go and my favorite part was the buttery flakey croissant. Can't complain at all though because this kept me full all day long. Awesome! read more

I preordered and paid for 6 dozen finger sandwiches 7 days in advance of pick up. Three days before pick up, the Lunch Box called to confirm the order. It was wrong. I went over the order and the representative corrected it. I just picked up the order and although the original mistake was corrected, another mistake was made. Very disappointing. read more

Great sandwich shop with a cute venue. It's tucked away in the back, but worth the short walk.

Love their BALT sandwich. Food is always good, servers are attentive and kind, and food comes out quickly.

When approaching/entering I was skeptical, it was breakfast time~10am, only one person was in the restaurant. The host sat us and gave us a lunch menu. Wanted breakfast we considered leaving. We straighten that out and got b/f Menus (different than the ones on yelp) still skeptical but proceeded to order. Ordered b/f sandwiches with fried potatoes (that were not on the menu. Atmosphere wasn't great but not bad. When the food arrived we were pleasantly surprised it was delicious. Price was a little high @ $20 for a b/f sandwich potatos and veggies plus coffee. read more

My second time being here and I will definitely come back. Had the club sandwich last time with fresh fruit and their dipping sauce. It was delicious. Today I had 1/2 egg salad and 1/2 chicken salad sandwich, fresh fruit and tomato basil soup. All of it was so delicious and fresh. You have to try their flavored teas as well. I got the peach mango today. Sorry for no pictures. read more

Service: As someone that has waited tables for many 4- and 5-star restaurants, I know when I encounter a great server. My server Dalia was phenomenal. She was very friendly and was able to maintain an actual conversation with me while doing her closing responsibilities AND still upholding great customer service. I felt it was important to mention this because anyone could be a server, but not everyone is a great server. Ambiance: Simple - nothing extraordinary, nothing terrible. Definitely gave me the "we're a family-owned business" vibe, which I prefer. Food: I would like to start off saying that I typically stray away from certain foods due to textural preferences, however, my server managed to convince me to order a chicken salad sandwich - aka my worst enemy. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed it very much. The side of fruit was super fresh - never thought I'd enjoy a fruit cup so much, haha. Also, the portion was a good size. Overall: The food itself is fairly simple and straightforward - nothing out of this world, however, I definitely enjoyed it. My lunch was about $10 - pretty fair in my opinion. And despite living about 30 minutes away, I'd consider coming by in the future just because Dalia was that inviting. read more

You would never know this place was here if you weren't looking for it. Such a shame as this quaint restaurant serves some serious sandwiches. And yes, true to its name they are only open during lunch. The Lunch Box is surrounded by other buildings as the property owners expanded this strip mall by building AROUND it. Yup. It's pretty much enclosed by all 4 sides. If it weren't for a large sign with an arrow I would have never known of its existence. I came here for a Yelp event and we were able to sample different types of sandwiches. We're talking a Reuben, Club, Pimiento Cheese, Ham and Avocado, Egg Salad, Chicken Salad and Tuna Salad served on your choice of white, rye and marble rye bread. They were all good, but the Reuben stood out as the best sandwich by far. We didn't get full orders, but I looked over at people that weren't part of the Yelp event and their sandwiches were so big. We're talking layers upon layers of ingredients. They definitely give you your money's worth. The staff was amazing and came by every table to talk to us about their history and items on their menu. Our bottomless mimosas were exactly that. We never saw the bottom of our cups and they seemed to know when you were half way done with your drink. How do they do that?? You can't get better service than what you find here. read more

Atmosphere: small and cheap. Clean and tidy, just nothing impressive. Drink: they took away mimosas :/ just normal drink menus, no alcohol. Food: yum! This is why they get four stars. I love the sandwiches, I've been eating them for about a year! The best sandwiches in Fort Worth without a doubt. Possibly the best chicken salad sandwich ever made! *try it on the marble bread, which I can't remember the name. Lol Price: pretty inexpensive. I pay about 7-10 for lunch, and about the same for breakfast. Service: the waitresses have been working here a while and they are great at what they do. read more

I've had their food once prior, when they catered the Four Day Weekend Elite event. I remembered that the pimento cheese sandwich and their pies were slamming! A couple of my friends wanted to meet up here on Sunday for lunch. I looked at their menu online and read up on Yelp! reviews to educate myself further. I know that everyone really digs their chicken salad. Thing is, I couldn't remember it at all from the event. Is it just not that memorable, or did I avoid it for the danger of harming my fetus (cooked meat left out, etc)? Just couldn't remember. Their loose leaf sandwiches are $7.25 individually but it's really not bad if you just get the Lunchbox, which is sandwich, choice of carb (chips, potato or pasta salad), fruit and a cookie for $8.95. Turns out you can get halfies, and get half one of the $7.25 sandwiches and another half of a different $7.25 sandwich. I went with half pimento and half chicken salad since its supposed to be their specialty. The hubz got a Reuben he adored. He got it with their chicken poblano chowder (Soup of the Day) and it came with a carb. Their potato salad is really good! The pimento sandwich is oh so good....and oh so rich. I had my husband take a bite and he remarked that's all the cheese he can take at once. I can take the sandwich half, but probably not the whole thing. The chicken salad sandwich half was just OK. Really. Maybe I did have some at the UYE and it was forgettable after all. Only after I ate it did I hear the very affable waitress tell another table to try the salad with the poppy seed dressing on it. OHHHH so that's what it's for! Dammit. I ended the meal with the chocolate pie; just as UH-mazing as I remembered. My friends brought their brand new son who needed to be changed. This place is circa retro era and they don't have a changing table in the bathroom. They did, however, let my friends take the baby to a room upstairs to change him. This place is also not handicap friendly; they had to carry the stroller down a short flight of stairs. read more
