    A pizza toastie sandwich.
    Robert D.

    We discovered a wonderful little sandwich shop in downtown Shawnee. The lunch box is located on Main Street. They have an excellent selection of sandwiches, soups, salads, and tasty treats. We ordered the following sandwiches. A baloney & cheese, a grilled pizza toastie, a couple of meatloaf sandwiches, a grilled tenderloin, and a BLT. Everyone raved about their sandwiches. All sandwiches were served with a soup or salad side order and a pickle. Some of the soups were a tomato and a chicken with rice. The side salads were a potato salad and a pea salad. We are looking forward to visiting The lunch box next time We're in Shawnee.

    This little place is tucked in Shawnee in a little old strip mall. We had a craving for some sandwiches that were yummy but also on the cheap. The Lunch Box did not disappoint us at all. We could tell it was a hoppin little joint from the line of people. The prices looked great and the sandwiches come with a pickle and chips. I got the French dip, which was really good. Not sure what kind of bread it was but it was flavorful and tasted really fresh. They were even kind enough to give us extra pickles when we asked. I also got an unsweetened tea and added in some zero calorie sweetener in it. The tea tasted homemade and freshly brewed. Reminded me when I was young and my grandma would make sweat tea! Mmmmm The decor inside was quaint and it felt like home. Each table was different and I loved it! How could I forget the cheesecake brownie and chocolate chip cookies ! The brownie was giant!! Super thick and moist! Try some dessert before you leave!!

    This cute cafe is only open at lunchtime, but serves up some scrumptious sandwiches, soups, and salads. We tried some of their freshly made sandwiches and several of the yummy desserts. This is a great place to for a quick lunch break, or a leisurely lunch with friends. The atmosphere is neat and colorful with the walls covered with records, posters and other fun artwork. The Lunch Box has a very welcoming feel to it, and the staff is friendly and efficient. The busiest time is from noon to one, and it slows down a bit after the main lunch rush. We came in a little after one, and there were plenty of tables to choose from, and we got our food quickly. I had the southwest turkey club. I love the chipotle mayo; it brought the sandwich together with just the right balance of flavors. I have also tried a couple of their soups, and have enjoyed them as well. Now for the best part....the desserts. We took several desserts to go today, so we could more of them. All were great from cheesecake to cookies. The cheesecake brownies and the almond joy cookies are a must try! If you are in the Shawnee area, try this place out sometime!

    The Lunch Box in Shawnee, OK

    The Lunch Box in Shawnee has amazing sandwiches! I had the turkey cranberry sandwich, husband had the basic turkey sandwich. They were both remarkably delicious - warm, thick, juicy slices off a roasted turkey breast. Turkey cranberry had turkey slice, cranberry sauce and cream cheese on a warm croissant, and the basic turkey sandwich had turkey slice, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo and red onion on toasted hearty white bread. Both served with a bag of potato chips and a pickle spear. Cute little diner atmosphere with electric furnishings, a different set of salt and pepper shakers on each table, everything was clean. The staff was quietly friendly and efficient. I recommend highly. We were on our way east on I-40 and took the short and pleasant drive into Shawnee looking for a good sandwich. We hit the jackpot!

    Cheesecake brownie

    Had TLB for lunch yesterday, delicious as always. The cheesecake brownie was a little too sweet, but nonetheless good. I also had the BLT on sourdough. The lemonade is to die for, make sure you don't pass it up. Friendly staff and great music too :)

The 50's-style diner setup is awesome, but the real fun is picking up the phone at your table to place your order. You don't see that anymore--and I absolutely loved it! We arrived just past the lunch rush, so things were nice and relaxed. I walked in thinking I'd order a burger... but the Chicken Fried Steak called my name, and I'm glad it did. Perfect portion size--not one of those giant plate-hogs--and served with mashed potatoes and cole slaw. The cole slaw deserves its own shoutout: rough-cut cabbage, creamy mayo dressing, and served cold just the way I like it. Everything on the plate was delicious. My wife went with the Chili Cheese Burger and potato wedges, and she gave it a big thumbs-up. And since it's a diner, I had to finish with a slice of Coconut Cream Pie. Let's just say--mission accomplished. Creamy, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. If you love classic diners, friendly service, and comfort food done right, Hamburger King is absolutely worth the stop.

Love the old school diner feeling and ordering by phone at your table. You can also watch them cook your order fresh from your table. The atmosphere is always welcoming and warm. Service is fast and always friendly. Their homemade pies are top notch! Definitely a must stop when in Shawnee.

We visited for lunch on Friday and there was a long line but it moved very quickly and we were able to find a seat with no problems. Outside there was a live musician performing and it was mainly covered. Of course we had to try the Vulcan sandwich (they're known for it) and we also tried a baked potato and another sandwich. We were SO impressed! When they came out, they looked like regular sandwiches but surpassed our expectations with the fresh and delicious flavors. Love this local, casual sandwich spot and would enjoy bringing friends back here.
