    Box Lunch front

    Stopped here after our annual Highland Lighthouse sojourn. My party got a variety of wraps. They were all delicious. Staff were super friendly and energetic during a rush of people. Highly recommend their Basil Lemonade. So refreshing.

    Box Lunch is a gourmet sandwich shop that opened in Wellfleet, Massachusetts in 1977. It was founded by former schoolteacher Owen MacNutt. When he heard of a new restaurant space that went up for rent, Owen decided to open a new eatery to supplement his teacher income. By the end of his first summer, Box Lunch had earned him twice the amount of money he made from a whole year of teaching. Owen left his teaching job and focused on his sandwich shop full-time. During this time period, pita sandwiches were very popular. Owen decided to abandon the standard pita design, and instead sliced the bread lengthwise and rolled everything from peas to peanuts inside the flat chunk. These new pita sandwiches didn't fall apart and customers liked the change. The "Roll-wich" was born! By the mid-'80s, Owen began to franchise the Box Lunch name all over Cape Cod. His wife Kathy took over management of the flagship location, and he focused his time on opening new locations and testing new Rollwich combos. Owen passed away in 2016. Today there are three Box Lunch locations: Wellfleet (original), Truro and Provincetown. My wife and I have visited Box Lunch multiple times over the years whenever we have visited Cape Cod. We visited the Eastham location several times, but it has since closed. On our most recent visit to the Cape, we decided to visit the original Wellfleet location. We decided to order a couple of Rollwiches to take to the beach for a picnic lunch. We ordered the 'Gilded Lobster' (Lobster Salad, Melted Swiss, Mayo and Avocado) and the 'Wild Turkey' (Turkey Breast, Melted Swiss and Provolone, Avocado, Tomatoes, Onions, Hot Banana Peppers and Mayo). We decided to share them; they were both delicious!! Much cleaner than a standard pita and just as (if not more) flavorful. We'll continue to get rollwiches at Box Lunch for years and years!

    Food was decent but the staff were miserable. So cranky and rude, overall bad vibe. Wouldn't go again for that reason

    So sad to see the bakery close. While the bistro/restaurant will keep going and expand, the bakery…read morewas where it was at. Apparently, the owner wanted to re-focus on that part of the business. *shrug* I used to come here around opening and see a lengthy line. The croissants are some of the best in the area. The plain croissant is flaky and light. The ham & cheese croissant is more of a croque monsieur and it's a pretty substantial offering, full of cheese, ham, and béchamel sauce. The individual tarts (lemon, raspberry, etc.) and cakes are beautifully designed and are appropriately sweet. The tart crusts were legit. I'll miss coming here for pastries/desserts. Maybe I'll try the bistro when it opens, but now I've found a new spot on the Cape for French patisserie and viennoiserie items.

Oh and a loaf of chocolate chip walnut holiday bread and a cheese batard oh and the pear tart!! We went nuts!! In heaven

We were recently invited by friends to join them for dinner at Moby Dicks and we accepted, excited to try it. I have to say it has been the single most impressive visit I have ever had on Cape Cod. All these years, who knew! I've eaten at Lobster Pot, CBI, the Wequassett, the Wayside, Pelham House and several other top restaurants on this peninsula and none of them have left me feeling like Moby Dicks. From the moment I pulled into the parking lot that was chock full of cars and was assisted with parking my car by a very nice young man to standing in line and being offered fresh tasty watermelon while I waited to the young woman who came around and collected our watermelon rinds to the unbelievably nice staff who kept checking on us during out meal. Who does all this these days? Speaking to the staff, I became aware of their accents. They are from all over the world...Croatia, North Africa and so many more far away places. They spoke very highly of the restaurant's owners and actually said they loved working there. This is a win win situation folks. The staff is happy which encourages them to show up for work - unlike so many places these days. This makes the bosses happy which trickles down to the customer who ends up with the best part of the deal...great food at reasonable prices and a hell of a staff to serve you! I don't do reviews but felt propelled to leave this one. Kudos to you Moby Dicks for making families, friends, couples, etc have one of the best nights of their Summer! Oh BTW, I had the blackened swordfish, my boyfriend had the whole belly clams and our friends had the captain's plate and the kabobs - all of it was fabulous and cooked perfectly. Did I mention it is BYOB? Oh yeah it is :) Don't miss it - Have a great time!
