Generous portions are a standout feature, especially noted in their towering sandwiches that pack in layers of flavor. The pork roll, egg, and cheese is a must-try; it's the gold standard for breakfast sandwiches and keeps diners coming back for more.
Friendly and accommodating staff consistently enhance the experience, making guests feel valued. Many appreciate how the employees connect with customers, turning a simple meal into a memorable experience.
The convenience of multiple service options — including delivery, takeaway, and dine-in — keeps locals satisfied, whether grabbing breakfast on the go or enjoying a leisurely lunch.
Most Disliked
As popular as it is, Lunchbox Waretown can get crowded during peak times, especially on Fridays at 1 PM when it reaches full capacity. This can lead to longer wait times.
Some might find the atmosphere too casual for special occasions, as the ambiance is distinctly laid-back and family-centric, which may not suit everyone.
The limited dinner service isn't a hit with every patron, as many wish for a later operating time to enjoy more dinner options after a long day.

So the 7" sandwich is also about 7" high. The amount of meat on this sandwich is incredible! Plus the staff is super friendly and accommodating! Great over all experience!

Their pork roll, egg, and cheese is second to none. The roll is awesome, and they do several slices of thinly sliced pork roll cooked to perfection. This adds a whole new dimension to the sandwich. It gives it the perfect texture. It's hard to go wrong with a PE&C, but 95% of all other places make them exactly the same as the next place. This place stands out with an awesome and unique, multi-layered sandwich!

HI everyone!! Another GREAT place. You want a great sandwich, chicken fingers ETC. This is your old fashioned grandma's food. This place knows how to make a sandwich Iam not kidding!! When I first moved here I went to a known place, its a chain, I got a sandwich there it was cheaply made and I really got sick. The workers at lunch box are AWESOME!! They really appreciate the customers. I know, how do I know ? The proof is there food!!!!!! Remember my friends there will be no negative reviews from me only GREAT PLACES, that is what I HAVE TIME FOR!!! Also love this place so much we added this place to our Christmas cookie list!!

This place is awesome! They make incredible sandwiches! They definitely don't skimp on quantity nor quality. A sign of a great deli is when they roast their own beef ( which they do and it's delicious! ) They put Jersey Mikes to shame! Rumor has they might start making Beef On Weck. If you don't know what that is, look it up. If they do start making it, they will probably be the only place in 150 miles where you can get one.

First time going here. Won't be the last. Bread was soft. Cold cuts fresh and employees were very nice. Definitely would recommend to others

Service was great! I really enjoyed trying their pickle sub, it was a delicious option if you want to cut down on bread.

We had a great experience using Lunchbox to cater for my son’s first birthday party. The food was delicious as always and got great reviews from our guests. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced. We will definitely be using them again in the future!
