We lived in the area for 13 years and somehow never noticed this place. Pretty sure lunchbox deli is in the witness protection program. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The chicado salad had just the right mix of avocado, chicken, tomato, and ranch, and it all came together in a way that felt super satisfying. The california chicken wrap had great flavor from the chipotle mayo and bacon, and it somehow didn't fall apart like most wraps do. Even the tomato cucumber feta side felt thoughtful. It was light and crisp without being boring. The waiting area is tiny but the wait was only about 10 minutes, and totally worth it. We ate by the lake on a calm summer Sunday and it was basically perfect. We'll definitely be back -- might even pretend we just discovered it again. read more

get it all the time, pulled pork is great. Ignore any low reviews, never had bad experience.

It's not great, compared to other businesses in the area they are lucky they are still there. I do understand they have been there for a very long time. So respect and big ups! I never wanna see a small business go under, EVER! It just wasn't good, average AT BEST. Reminded me of a floppy sandwich I could get by getting some packaged lunch meat and packaged bread from the grocery store. Nothing special. Average basic sauce possibly big name bottle. I expected better. Used to taste better. Small front entrance can barely fit 6 people. Absolutely no parking. Pricey for what you get. I want better for this place, but personally I will not be back. Too many awesome other options in the area, for example: Uncle Harry's Deli, that spot is LEGIT!!! Do better Lunch Box Deli, please. Much Love, -Zach read more

I was searching for a Cuban sandwich and this place came up. It's literally a hole in the wall; a kid sat behind a small window like a ticket booth and took my order. The space had one chair and was otherwise crowded with racks of chips and other junk. I got my sandwich, and no I didn't tip the cashier for their effort of sitting behind a window, and when I got home I found I had bought a pulled pork sandwich with pickles. It tasted good but that's not what a Cuban sandwich is. read more

Excellent Spot for sandwiches, soup, and salads! It's a staple in the community and has always been a great place for a quick bite! The owner is also very friendly and a great asset to the local community. read more

Ordered the turkey outlaw sandwich, which is usually good enough, but the bacon slices were replaced with chewy, inedible and tasteless bacon bits/pieces. Very disappointing to replace fresh bacon. Doubtful I'll order here again if standard offerings are being replaced while prices increase. Customers will notice! read more

Dont ever count on your "build your own" to be right, they write down everything on your ticket and staple it to the bag for it to be wrong. it's happened to me twice, besides that the food is decent when you just need something on ur stomach. read more

Tried Lunch Box Deli today. Had the Mac-n-cheese with bacon, pesto turkey sandwich, and hot pretzels. All were very good. The lady that greeted me was pleasant and prompt when communicating. I'll be coming back again to try other menus items. read more

My husband and I have been going here occasionally for years. It's one of very few delis in the area, so we keep trying. The menu is vast and everything sounds tantalizing, but the execution is always poor. This time my husband's sandwich tasted of bleach, and mine just disintegrated. I had to bring it home to try to add more ingredients and heat it up properly. A vegetarian sandwich with two kinds of cheese (supposedly!) had only one slice. The garlic mayo was literally one huge tablespoon in the middle of the sandwich. The vegetables were all scant, and cut too large to be edible. These employees need better training and/or better pay in order to make this place work. read more

Go to lunch spot for the last 7 years! We order here for all of our luncheons and find ourselves here multiple times a week! The sandwich selection here is CRAZY huge, there is something for EVERYONE. The portions here are no joke, so come HUNGRY because they pile on the toppings read more

So, I come here often due to the close proximity it is to my job(right across the street) and for as long as I have been coming I have always bought the same sandwich(for years) The Tony Danza. I may have had one other sandwich previously in the years that I have been coming. Today I was actually going to change to a new experience. I got a new experience, alright. Just as I was about to ask for a new suggestion I paused and said, "I always get Tony Danza but I going to try.....". She looked up to me as if I was disturbing her. I then asked her about the Black Bean Soup to see if there was meat in it( I like meat) as soon as I asked this, she shook her head and rushed to the back and looked in the soup. She did say there were black beans and carrots. By now, the simple fact that her demeanor had me limiting this to just the sandwich. Let me say the food is always good here. And the simple fact that the man that prepared the sandwich for me brought it out to me had me feeling like she didn't want to be bothered with me or SOMETHING. THIS TYPE OF UNWELCOMING BEHAVIOR IS WHAT LOSES CUSTOMERS! read more

Picked up a take out order and the bagged reeked of tuna...we did not order tuna. The whole bag was covered in tuna pieces/juices so clearly someone did not change their gloves/wash their hands before packaging our order. Sandwiches themselves were clean but average. We have ordered from here previously and it use to be way better. read more

Happy to report that LBD is as good as it's always been! Haven't been there for years, but was craving a salad and sandwich. The online ordering function through Yelp was super quick and easy. My order was complete before the estimated time window, and pickup was a breeze. Prices are comparable with similar lunch places but the quality overall is superior! read more

LUNCH BOX DELI SOUPS AND SANDWICHES FOREVER! Do not sleep on this place! I make sure to order some every time I'm visiting family in the Metro-Detroit area. First off, they are handling this pandemic so incredibly well. They have signs posted to keep distance and ask that only two customers are inside at once. All employees wear masks and they have a shield at the pickup window inside. Lastly, they offer contact free delivery. Now to the food - NOTHING has been bad here. Literally every single sandwich I have taken a chance on has been good. My go-to is typically the tuna melt. They add dill to the tuna and that really hits the spot haha. Everyone else seems to prefer the Outlaw, so I definitely recommend this one if you're not a fan of tuna. I wish I remembered all of the names of the sandwiches I tried, but even if I did, I'd be embarrassed by my smorgasbord. It's not just sandwiches that are great here by the way - it's soups too! Ones that immediately stand out are the dill pickle soup (oh good God) and the chicken tortilla (an absolute favorite of mine wherever I go, to be honest). The best part is that their prices are affordable for a quick lunch in the area, the service is always helpful and friendly, AND they send coupons out most times so be on the lookout for one :) read more

I was recommended to try the Cuban Sandwich and it was GREAT! Bread was high quality. Meat was fresh, a good portion, the sandwich carefully crafted. I'll be back to try other items! read more

Just what you'd expect from a small hole in the wall sandwich shop excellent food, fair prices and great customer service

We enjoyed Lunch Box Deli for lunch. There is no in-dining option right now, but you can order on their app and pick up right at the front door. Very easy! These sandwiches have clever names and taste very fresh and homemade. We always love a warmed up sandwich too. read more

I have come here quite a few times. Their sandwiches are good, nothing crazy special but good. But, their salads are amazing! The baked potato salad is great, an interesting twist on standard potato salad. But my new go-to is the Cobb salad. Probably the best Cobb salad I've had. It's loaded with toppings and the greens always fresh. The ranch and balsamic dressing are delicious, and taste homemade. Quick service. Clean space. A great lunch or dinner option. read more

Lunch Box Deli - Cobb Salad delicious! - Sandwiches Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Best sandwiches around... Quality and quantity plus a great value and excellent service.

I had the Cobb salad and it was great. Reasonably priced and a nice portion. I can't speak on anything else they offer but that Cobb Salad was great. read more

Great food, huge variety so there's always something for everyone in the family. The food is always very fresh and it's not a greasy gut bomb like so many restaurants serve. The delivery was fast and friendly and we'll be back‼ read more

One of the best sandwich shops around me!!.. Always fresh and the staff is always polite. Nice little eatery

Amazing pretzel bites and a variety of breads to choose from for sandwiches !! A great recommendation for a first time visit is one of their soups of the day. read more

I had just moved to the area a couple years ago. It was night, we hadn't eaten all day and starving after moving. Bought them just before closing, ordered 2 BLTs double bacon for my son and I. Got home - there was 1. One sandwich to split. The bacon was burnt and scant and the lettuce wilted and scant. The sandwiches aren't cheap either. $10-$15 with the extra bacon. Posted this on Google and the owner said he'd refund the sandwich and never did. Haven't returned since nor will I. read more

This place is right down the street from me and has been super convenient for pick-up during COVID. They're always quick and the sandwiches taste better than what I could make at home. They just built a new barrier wall to give the staff more space and safety. It makes me feel more comfortable too. I'm a big fan! read more

So I decided to support my local deli today and ordered a Georgia Reuben. The guy on the phone tells me my Sandwich would be ready in 20 minutes. I wait 20 minutes. I call back to see if my food is ready. He says"Oh it's BEEN ready". Then why was I waiting 20 minutes. I get my Sandwich. I get home and open it. It's a huge piece of lettuce. A small amount of corned beef. Lots of 1000 island and Swiss. I don't see any cole slaw. This sandwich is NOT what I ordered. So I call back and tell them that my Sandwich has no cole slaw. You know what they said? " We're out of slaw. Gee... You didn't add that when I ordered the sandwich. Did they apologize? Nope. Offer to fix it? Nope? So guess what? I will NOT be back. I try and support local businesses but I am done with this one read more

Tl:dr: decent sandwiches, but don't expect too much. I've been here a few times before and have generally been happy with my order. The last two times, I followed their directions and ordered from them directly online to save on their administrative costs. The issue is, not all of their items are listed on the website ordering system, which means I have to call and find out what item to purchase for a similar price in order and include a note to please actually make what I want. Today, I do that same thing - and now they're telling me they no longer make a BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato), which seems a little odd for a sandwich shop, but ok. Their tuna pasta salad gives me the option to add veggies for $.50, so I do, thinking maybe they'll throw in some cucumber and tomato, or maybe some broccoli and carrot. Uh, no. And the lady behind the counter didn't think she saw that on my order (I checked later, it's there) and said she really didn't even know what they would add. Then don't have it as an option! I was so flabbergasted, I couldn't remember if she was wearing a mask or not, which has sort of become a requirement for me in terms of good customer service. I got home, diced up some red onion and cucumber and a bit of salt (it needed seasoning). Not sure I'll be back. I noticed that comments go unresponded to on both here and Fb, but wanted to vent somewhere. read more

It's ok... too expensive for what you get. First and last time visiting~ here's why: I had "the works" one of the meats had been removed from the menu and for $8.99 they REALLY should add it back.The sandwich meats, although 5 in quantity, were THIN and single layered. Lackluster deli. read more

Lunch Box Deli - "The Works" - Sandwiches Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Best sandwiches and salad around! The house made dressing is the cherry on top. Definitely recommend.

Order is always correct. The salads and sandwiches are packed full of amazing goodies!! Will always recommend

Love this place! Everyone who works here is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. And the sandwiches are fantastic. The soups are superb. The salads are fabulous. My favorite sandwich is the hot Columbo. Mama, Mia, Peter Falk would be proud. The salads are ALL good, but I still favor the Caesar - and their homemade Caesar dressing is the bomb. Pretty sure all their soups are also from scratch. Plus they deliver, but since we're close, I always like to stop in. read more

$10 for a tiny nasty sandwich. This place has fallen way off and the employees are not friendly. Will gladly spend money someplace else.

This sandwich shop is owned by the same folks that own and operate Burrito Mundo, also on Mack Avenue, albeit some distance away. I know this only because I eat a lot of burritos, and I get an insert advertising "Lunch Box Deli - our sister store" in the take-out bag with the burrito. They even put discount coupons (which, unfortunately, I always throw away) for sandwiches at the Lunch Box Deli in the bag with the burrito. And, as with their burrito place, this deli serves up some tantalizing food. It's a very small place, near the corner of Cadieux and Mack, with a couple of small tables, and a sit-down counter inside, and a few parking spaces out front. As you might imagine, most of their trade is take-out. Small place, but huge menu. My first time here, and I ordered a Tuna Avocado Cheese Melt, which came on toasted pumpernickel. It was very good; quite the taste treat. Happy with my sandwich here, and I'm returning to try more of their menu. read more

To me, the Nautical Deli in SCS is the standard by which all other delis are measured against. I was on the east side of town today and so sad to find the Nautical Deli closed (on Mondays). So, in a last-minute, hasty search for a back up, I came across Lunch Box Deli on Yelp. If you've ever been to the Nautical Deli, then you know that everything is new, clean, and shiny. The Lunch Box is sort of... eh... a hole in the wall. Not necessarily a bad thing. I've had some amazing food at local dives. Bottom line on Lunch Box... I ordered the Ivan Drago sandwich, which is rated at #4 on their Top 10 list. Food was decent. I liked my sandwich, but didn't love it. Meat to bread ratio was about 50/50. Prices are fair. Service was average. I probably wouldn't go out of my way for this place, but if I lived in the neighborhood, I might visit occasionally to try new sandwiches. read more

Place is over hype. Ordered a side of mac and cheese and all I tasted was onion powder and garlic salt. The the philly cheesesteak was ok but Jersey Mikes is better in my opinion and the greek salad was barely chopped. Who wants to eat a big piece of red pepper in their salad? read more

Holy yummy sandwiches! I love sandwiches and this place has a TON! I have only been here once, but the menu is great and I cannot wait to go back! My boyfriend had the Colombo (Italian sub topped with asiago cheese and baked grinder style with a side of Italian) and I had The Outlaw (turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper-jack cheese, and tomato baked on a rustic roll and topped with BBQ ranch) and both were so good! They also had chocolate chip cookies up by the counter that we got and they were really good as well. They had 3 soups that day and I ordered the chicken lime rice and it was a little weak. The categories of sandwiches include chicken, pork, turkey, tuna, beef, veggie and salami and they have soup, salads and sides as well along with some main entrees. You can also sub tofu on any sandwich free of charge. read more

I came in here for lunch one day and was very pleased that I did. The menu is huge, so I went with one of the "top 10" options: The Outlaw. The Outlaw is a warm turkey sandwich with avocado and cheese - really tasty. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

Reliably good food and interesting options - used to order from here quite often when we first moved into the neighborhood. I love their potato salad and other sides especially, they're practically a meal in themselves. read more

I would like to know which sandwiches all the 5 and 4-star raters are ordering because all 5 sandwiches I've tried here were dry and bland with sub-par ingredients. Yesterday I ordered The Bird, and the "grilled chicken" was cold, rubbery, diced chicken. The spinach leaves were also wilted and rubbery. There was next to no hummus on the sandwich and it was overloaded with feta cheese. I thought maybe I was just ordering all the wrong sandwiches since there's so many rave reviews, but after yesterday's atrocity I'm officially done giving Lunchbox Deli my business. read more
