We love the lunch box! The staff goes out of their way to provide friendly service and to remember their locals. Homemade soups, cookies, pies, and the best milkshakes! I always enjoy the chicken cranberry salad and they usually have cookies you can buy on your way out for a delicious snack later read more

First of all- loved the theme! I always love a good diner, but throw in childhood memories with various lunch boxes displayed throughout- awesome! Burgers were delicious, John loved the bean soup- special of the day. All of us were well fed! I was pleasantly surprised at how fast our food came out too. Solid lunch choice. read more

Love these obscure hometown restaurants when traveling. Welcoming when you first walk-in, quick seating and service. Food was good(tasty), plentiful and hot ! Staff were great !!! Pricing was average. We had the Greek Salad and a Turkey Bacon avocado hot sandwich on sourdough bread. Both excellent. We saw one last piece of four berry home made pie, the owners wife, which we had warm with vanilla ice cream. Wow, just excellent, pie crust and berries. Ice cream was delicious. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 The good, all of the meals below minus the chicken burger, that was greasy and terrible, would've sent it back but hubby doesn't believe in that so we just dealt with it. Soups are scratch made and delicious, sandwiches, tons of meat. Service was just ok, she checked on us once and never refilled our waters. Ambiance, cutie small town diner, just what you expect in a small town. read more

I don't know how I haven't discovered this little gem of a diner yet, but I'm sure glad I did. My bestie was in town and breakfast was on our mind, so we headed down and grabbed seats at the counter. It was fun watching the artistic moves of the kitchen staff cooking up all sorts of deliciousness. With our mugs full of their tasty Fidalgo coffee, we eagerly awaited our breakfasts. I got the French toast breakfast, and my friend got the biscuits and gravy with some hash browns. It was all hot and tasty. I'm definitely adding this to my list of breakfast spots - I've got their breakfast chimichanga on my mind for next time. read more

Small town diner located in Mount Vernon, Washington, serving up classic diner fare in building that has housed a diner since the 1940's Our group of eight took an early morning tour of the RoozenGaarde Tulip farm, so when it was over, we needed a nearby place to have breakfast. The Lunchbox Diner seemed like a good choice to have enough variety to satisfy our entire group. We got lucky in that there was two empty tables that could be put together to seat us, and we ended up staying over an hour there. Our table ended up ordering French Dip with fries ($17.99), Reuben Sandwich with cup of turkey noodle ($17.99); Patty Melt with cup of tortilla soup ($20.99); Smash Burger ($14.99); Breakfast Sandwich ($12.99); Kids Cake breakfast ($11.99); chocolate milk ($3.99); Coffee ($3.49); Fountain Pop ($3.49). The bread used for all the sandwiches were good: hefty with good thickness and grilled nicely. Everyone was friendly, and our party seemed to enjoy their meal. You can pay up front with credit card, and by the time we left, the place was getting really full. read more

Food is very tasty. The waitress was very nice and kept our drinks full even with a full restaurant. The restraunt is a quaint little place with about 14 tables and 6 bar stools. The onion rings ca.e out so hot we had to let them cool. There is not a lot of street parking close by, so you may have to walk a block or two. Get there early because the locals fill it up about noon. This is a must try restraunt. read more

Came here based on great reviews. But we waited over 40 minutes and had to leave because our kids were starving Also staff was rude and inattentive Didnt get water for one of us until we left So sad and sort of ruined our day And when we told them we would leave, didnt sense that they were sorry about anything I can guess why we were served poorly, but dont want to get in that read more

Another great local restaurant with early hours and a fantastic breakfast menu. I enjoyed their chicken fried steak, gravy was a bit much but the food overall was good. read more

The Lunchbox Diner - Diners Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

By far the best breakfast I've ever had. I will be saving this place on my map and next time I'm up north I'll be stopping back.

There were four of us in our party. We ordered four different sandwiches. Each of us thought their sandwich was exceptionally good. The person that ordered a GF sandwich was happily surprised that she actually received two separate sandwiches (in other words,for slices of normal, small sized GF bread). We also shared onion rings: best onion rings in the area. Service was excellent. Will be returning again to try out more menu items. read more

This is an update from the last review. The food is still very good, the price is comparable to other breakfast places. The staff is a bit slow, and the coffee refills come a bit slow, however it is still a good place to get breakfast.... read more

Stopped here on our way to Vancouver and love supporting family owned places. People were super friendly and food was served quickly and delicious. Hoping to be able to hit them on the way home for breakfast. Also.. the bathroom floor made out of pennies and was really unique. read more

Great little diner. Parking available on the street. Staff was friendly. The place was clean, including the single restroom. The service was a little slow, if you're in a hurry, I'd skip this diner. We were at the table for an hour. But I liked not feeling rushed to order and eat. Saturday and Sunday they serve breakfast all day, so at noon, kids got pancakes and adults got sandwiches. They let adults order off kids menu, which is pretty awesome. I got a kids BLT (1/2 sandwich), added avocado, and smaller portion of hand cut fries. It was perfect. read more

Exactly what we expected. Friendly service, huge diner portions, delicious breakfast/lunch.

Dropped in one Sunday morning after a weekend in the North Cascades and was pleasantly surprised. The biscuits are a must, buttery and well formed with several flaky layers. Omelette well made with lots of sausage and vegetables. Everything feels homemade and fresh. Service was friendly and coffee decent. Would eat here again. read more

Good food as any other place. Service was really good. Loved the lunch boxes around the wall.

If you've eaten at Ihop or Dennys, you'll be blown away with not only the amount of food but the higher quality, for the same price. Thick cut bacon, massive omelets and generous eggs/hash browns. Food came out quickly and the service was spot on. read more

Charming, old-school diner that keeps up with the times with generous servings, full range of dietary options, and reasonable prices. Endlessly flowing coffee pairs well with their thick-cut sandwiches, comforting biscuits and gravy, and eggs any way you want them. Staff are quick, friendly, and treat the regulars drifting in and out like family. read more

The Lunchbox Diner - The Judge sandwich - Diners Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

If you want a great brunch spot this is the place to be. Call ahead for a table because it will be busy! Really friendly staff and they were able to accommodate a large group of us (12 people) on a short notice (within 30-minutes). I was not sure what to order, so i decided to browse yelp to see some of the pictures for inspiration and what screamed at me was the breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich comes standard on sourdough, but several of us asked for it to be on a buttermilk biscuit and wowowowowow that was good. Its a killer biscuit with scrambled eggs, choice of protein (bacon, sausage, or ham) with cheese. Keep in mind it is just a sandwich so if you want a little more food add on a side. i went with hashbrowns and they were hot and soft in the middle and golden crispy on the outside. My 8-year-old taxed 80% of my hashbrown because it was that good. If you want a side of pancakes, it is HUGE. start with just one unless you are hungry and they are really good. I bookmarked this place and definitely will be back! this place is the place for brunch up in the Mt. Vernon area! read more

The Lunchbox Diner - Grilled Cheese and Cheese Burger* with Soup of the Day - Diners Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

I came here strictly on the Yelp review of 4.5 stars. I had no idea of the menu or what type of place it was. Walking up my first thought was greasy dinner. Was beyond surprised. This place had a fresh look and the people were hospitable from the first moment we walk in. I ordered the jalapeño burger and my partner in crime the judge sandwich. Everything screamed fresh here. The burger came with long cut fresh jalapeños not the flimsy picked ones from a can. I would 100% recommended this place to anyone. Young or old. This place brought memories of the old dinners from my child hood without the heart attack. read more

The Lunchbox sits unassumingly across from the Mount Vernon courthouse. I walked and drove past it for a year before we decided to eat there. What a wasted year. We have tried all the higher-profile breakfast places in the area, and Lunchbox is now our go-to. We've only had breakfast there, and it is consistently excellent. My favorite are the eggs Benedict. They show up looking like a page out of a high-end cookbook. As an old eBay collectibles seller, I'm always checking out the value of the vintage lunchboxes that serve as the anchor for their decor read more

Came for lunch on a busy Sunday and waited 40 minutes for food. I got turkey bacon ranch sandwich which was a salt bomb. Staffs were very friendly though. read more

dOrdered farmers omelette, Texas french toast breakfast, and breakfast sandwich. They ran out of gravy, I originally wanted biscuit and gravy breakfast and chicken fried steak meal. Also I came during tulip festival season so it was completely packed. Everyone in the diner was waiting 1 hr for their meals to be served. An above average diner that tasted extra good because I was really hungry when the food came. On any other day it's a fringe 4 star read more
