    Ham and cheese panini
    Tim R.

    This place is fine if they advertise what's on thEir daily special. A ham and cheese panini smothered with peppers and green onioNs and who knoows what else. Smells as well. I want a ham and cheese panini with ham and cheeSe. And not all doctored up unless you tell Me. NUF said. And at $10.50 it isn't cheap. Threw it in garbage where it beloNgs Here's a novel idea, since you are in a hospital setting, list ingredients and let the bUyer know especially if it's not the normal take on the sandwich Won't be back The trash can liked it

    First off The Lunch Box is located in the AHN building on Federal Its a little spot you order and take away in the lobby of the medical building are two tables and 8 chairs I assume they will let you sit and eat if you so desire. I was warmly greeted as I looked up at the posted menu Friday around 12pm the place was hopping 4 on line a few folks waiting for their number to be called (your receipt has your number) a nice menu filled with all sorts of Sandwiches plus paninis its a choose your own you pick the fillings such as roast beef, buffalo chicken, turkey and the bread French wheat Italian marble rye a bun or wrap toppings and condiments you can even order half a sandwich what a great idea 3.50 or a whole for 5.50 its a good deal they also offer soups this day they had creamy potato and it was vegetarian YAY case had nice looking salads and pastry you can also get sandwich salad combo they have usual always seen at delis bags of chips plus bottled sodas and tea AND what I came for smoothies I had a lush going green there was spinach in there it was so good not so sweet and just good 5 dollars very worth it they also offer a berry and a peach mango ok I confess I also got myself a cream pastry it was so fresh and good and at 1.50 it was worth every calorie. they just opened so they need some slack apparently someone called in an order and they were confused with receipt numbers I felt bad for her ...she asked for a refund and left the concept here is great and I will be back parking on Federal St can be a challenge but hey this is Pittsburgh beautiful Northside I will be back

    Drum Roll, please! Introducing my new favorite grab and go lunch spot. This brand-new, small gem is nestled in the Allegheny Medical Building right beside the security desk. As I walked toward the door, I could smell the delicious-ness cooking from the grill. I walked in and was immediately greeted by Shirley at the register. The workers were welcoming and ready to take my order with a smile. The place was very clean, organized and lit up very well. They take Apple pay, Samsung Pay & Google pay in addition to the standard options. I ordered a corned beef sandwich, deviled eggs and peach/mango smoothie. The sandwich had a good amount of meat on it! The smoothie was great too! It was not too sweet and blended smoothly with no excessive ice chunks. BONUS: They actually use REAL FRUIT! The deviled eggs were also delicious, they were mayo/mustard based with a dash a relish, topped with smoked paprika--yum. They have decent options for breakfast too--sandwiches, cereal, pastries, yogurt & fresh fruit. For lunch, in addition to sandwiches they offer a "soup of the day" and a variety of salad options. I'm getting a panini next time!

    Going green smoothie

    So today one of my favorite sandwiches made it back on the menu The Lunch Box's Ham and Cheese deluxe with their special sauce and caramelized onions and green peppers. When I say this sandwich is so good I mean it, everything together pressed into a panini is so good.! Thank you Lunch box for always satisfying my needs from your great fresh salads and smoothies to your good and quick sandwiches, it's always a good time when I stop pass !

    couldn't miss "Pittsburgh's most famous sandwich" while in town…read more They have a bunch of locations so it's pretty easily accessible. We walked about 10 min and change from our hotel to the strip district location. It is a small little place made up for by its attention grabbing wall art of famous and loved Pittsburgh figures. The menu is easy enough. Pick a protein (there are many options) to go on the sandwich which is the standard cole slaw, cheese, tomato, and fries tucked between two slices of thick, soft white bread. As a vegetarian, I was pleased to see a vegetarian option with both a cheese and an egg and cheese version. GF and I shared and it is not a bad sandwich to share bc the thing is massive. That isn't to say that I couldn't have eaten another half bc I absolutely could have. The thing is so large and busting with ingredients I wondered how I could fit it for a bite but where there's a will, there's a way. It was excellent. What a great combo of flavors and textures. I only wish there was more cheese. I do feel like with the cheese version there should be more than what is in the version with meat but call me crazy. I could eat that every day.

Medium loudness, mainly from people's conversations. Went to bar area, little to right of entering and ordered. Asked for their special and the asked for the type of meat. Didn't know so they suggested I try pastrami and the capicola. Ordered and waited maybe 10-15min and they gave us our order in a big paper bag. It was heavy! Opened up one of the sandwiches to share and nicely the sandwich was cut in half already. Just need to tear the paper wrapper to separate. As you may know, sandwich has Cole slaw and fries on it, so it's thick. Preferred the capicola over the pastrami. Decent amount of meat on the sandwich but waaaayyy more fries than anything. The close slaw adds some crunch and tartness to a pretty mild sandwich. Overall, food was underwhelming. I'd stop by again but for some kielbasa or something ethnic. Otherwise I'd probably just try another nearby place to eat.

    Last week, my friend and I visited The Eagle before the 7:30 showing of Beauty and the Beast on its…read moreopening night. Now, I am going to take you on a journey just like the books Belle read so strap in. We had a 5:45 PM reservation, and even arrived a few minutes early. The hostess/employee (I don't want to assume positions) took me upstairs for a table right by the window, which will be an awesome view when the construction finishes. It was also a beautiful sight of that part of the city as-is. When I was seated, I was one of a few tables seated. It was not full or even busy at that time. Also, as we were seated, we were given waters. My friend joined me about 5-7 minutes after the reservation time. We then ordered our drinks at about 6:00/6:05 PM. From there, we waited and did not meet our waiter, who will be referred to as sweet baby angel Max from here on out, until about 6:20 PM. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees at around this time. Our orders had some modifications but nothing major. By this time, many more tables were seated upstairs and others seemingly received their alcoholic drinks and even appetizers by the time we received only our drinks around 6:30-6:40. Our drinks were big, too, which is great, but that also meant we had to drink them a little more quickly due to the time constraints with the show. We were enjoying ourselves but noticed multiple more tables receiving not only their drinks and apps but also their entrees. Once 6:55 came, we had to tell sweet baby angel Max about our predicament. I will be honest and say we suggested for our drinks to be comped at least - not only for the wait and lack of courtesy with everyone else receiving their items before us despite our arrival and reservation time, but for the fact that we would have maybe 15 minutes to eat, finish our drinks, pay, take our food back to our cars, and make curtain time. What sweet baby angel Max did next flabbered our gasts -- he said not only will our drinks be comped but our whole meal will be comped. He also helped pack our food and kept it in the back so we didn't have to worry about going back to our cars. We made sure to tip him with all we had! We are so glad we did because when we returned after the show, he had the kitchen remake the food and kept it warm for us. When you go to The Eagle, ask for sweet baby angel Max and you will not be disappointed with him, the service, or the food. Because even when they may mess up? The Eagle gets it right with their classy attitude and positive treatment of their customers. You definitely have multiple return customers just from this encounter. Thank you!!!

We were able…read moreto grab seats at the bar and get served right away, which was perfect given the circumstances. They had a Pirates game day special with a Miller Lite draft and a glizzy, which was a fun and easy option. I also ordered the carne sandwich with chimichurri sauce, and it was absolutely amazing--packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The side salad was fresh and really good, which was a nice addition. I also tried the Sandía y Tajín cocktail, and it was delicious--super refreshing with just the right kick. Overall, great food, quick service, and a perfect stop during the game delay. I'll definitely be back!

    We were lucky to grab seats at the bar because this place was hopping.....like, "do we hover…read moreawkwardly or commit?" level busy. Thankfully, it worked out. Recommend making a reservation! While we were definitely feeling a bit nostalgic for the Gaucho of the past (RIP Smallman Street era), we were willing to give this new-to-us downtown location a fair shot... and it delivered. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive...present without being too present, which honestly deserves its own award. We went with two sandwiches: the carne and the pescado, and upgraded one with the papas, because obviously. Both were delicious and did exactly what we needed them to do: make us stop thinking about ordering more food (for a few minutes, at least). But let's be real, the house-made chimichurris are the main event. The Ajo? Addictive. The Cebolla? My personal favorite. The Pimentón? Tangy and doing the most (in a good way). And the classic chimichurri continues to quietly carry the entire operation like the MVP it is. Washed it all down with some local beers and called it what it was: a perfect night bite with just enough nostalgia to keep things interesting.
