I work near Lunch Box and actually have never been there in person...I've only ordered delivery. They are great on the phone with complicated orders... Always patient and polite! If they say it will be an hour...it's always on time and whatever time they say...wait...it's worth it. All the soups are fantastic...my favorite is the artichoke lemon parmigiana soup. Delivery is dependable and the food is always packed well and just as you'd as if I was in a restaurant. From the Viviano's on Mack....thanks!!! read more

Extremely vegan friendly restaurant! Any meaty sandwich can have tofu swapped into it for no charge, and there are soooo many options! Unique choices for drinks, chips, too. A small dine in area, quick service to eat in or carry out. One of my 'go to's in the area! read more

Lunch Box Deli beats fast food and for a Zingerman's loyalist, it is a bargain lunch spot! :) Great quality and decent value. Excellent soups. Unfortunately the order taker didn't get my order quite right even after a 3 time review with her. I ordered a corned beef reuben and a turkey reuben, and 2 soups. The turkey reuben ended up being a turkey sandwich ungrilled on a roll, which was disappointing. read more

Had the beyond brat with sauerkraut on the pretzel bun. It was outstanding. Thank you for making an incredible non meat option!

Friendly service and oh so very good sandwiches! Will definitely come again!! Kitchen was in full view while ordering and it looked very clean and organized. The dining area is a little small but I think they are primarily to-go and delivery. Had the grilled chicken. It was hot and delicious! read more

Our experience was not good, so I am giving it one star. We ordered two sandwiches, a bag of chips, and a pop. It took 30 minutes to receive those. Despite being in the store the whole time we waited, the employee kept forgetting that we were there and had already ordered. She kept asking, "have you been helped?". We finally received our food after I reminded the employee that we had been waiting 30 minutes. We open the bag, and one of the sandwiches is not the right one. They also forgot to give a side of Italian dressing for the Colombo. I go back in and tell them the order is wrong. They make the correct one, the outlaw, and it's on white bread instead of ciabatta. Both sandwiches seemed like they were rushed and poorly made. I find it hard to believe that it should take 30 minutes to make two "deli" sandwiches. We won't be returning. read more

I live in Florida and my in laws are in Michigan. My mother in law had major surgery and really couldn't cook at all. I ordered a ton of food from this deli and they delivered it promptly. They even let me put the tip on it so all my i laws had to do was accept the delivery. They loved it and raved about the food. What a great alternative to flowers! Ya can't eat flowers. read more

Excellent chili, soups, salads, sandwiches and even desert (homemade cookies)!!! Everything is fantastic and delicious!!!

Ordered the turkey pesto sandwich and the mixed green salad to split. Super satisfying and great for a quick lunch - loved that their menu was so extensive and would definitely recommend! read more

Got some takeout from here. The sandwich was okay, nothing special to me. I also tried my boyfriends sandwich and his was just decent as well. Was expecting better I guess read more

Nice clean atmosphere with a a hipster cafe vibe. I ordered a Ruben with extra meat which was still a small portion. It took 15 minutes to come out which is fine as I'm always willing to wait for fresh quality food. If i didn't leave still starving I would have given more stars. read more

If you're looking for a hole in the wall deli, this is the place! My sandwich had 2.5 inches of meat on it, and I was in love!!! If you're looking for a low key sandwich place, with great prices, and great quality you've come to the right place! 10/10 would recommend read more

So many choices, good prices, and gluten free options. Quick and easy spot for lunch. Easier to do take out since there aren't many seats.

I love lunch box deli. Delicious high quality sandwiches. I've tried a dozen different items and every one was a hit in it's own way. This place is a gem. read more

Had a catered lunch for work and ordered the veggie burger without cheese and swap the thousand island dressing for hummus - they sent a wrap with cucumber and avocado. my meat eating coworkers all loved their sandwiches and I was left disappointed and hungry read more

We ordered a tuna salad sandwich and chicken dumpling soup. We ordered white bread, it came on multi grain bread, the heel/crust of bread. There was no Mayo on the bread. The chicken dumpling soup was too sweet. When we called and spoke to manager Vanessa, she indicated they had no white bread( we weren't told they didn't carry white bread) , they only had oat and sourdough , there was no mayonnaise, the ends of the bread were not fresh. The soup tasted it like it had sugar in it. The manager, Vanessa, indicated that they use sugar in their soup . Vanessa was extremely rude, unprofessional and hung the phone up on me twice. We called back and asked Vanessa if she really meant to hang up the phone and she said said yes and hung the phone up again. She said we had to email Brian, the owner in order to have my credit returned , she said she had no authority to credit the account. It's a real shame that the title, manager does not give you enough clout to refund the money. Sorry to say, definitely will never go back and will let others know. read more

I love this place! Employees (including the delivery team) are friendly. Food is always high quality and delicious. Had the Mac and Cheese yesterday, wow! Salads are yummy, ingredients are fresh. read more

this place has never failed to disappoint me . Why even bother! There's a lot of better places in the area. Issa no from me .

In town for an ice hockey game at ESH Arena. Great place for lunch! The service was prompt and the sandwiches were delicious! The selection was wide-ranging, including vegetarian sandwiches. I had the Apollo Creed (philly cheesesteak). The sandwich was hot, the beef was tender, the cheese was melty. Looking forward to a return trip the next time we're in town. read more

Really love the sandwiches and soups here. The owner makes the soups from scratch every day. I also worked here very briefly right out of high school and can confirm they run a clean kitchen. Turkey taco crunch with chicken breast and turkey chili is my go to read more

Amazing Menu and sandwiches, really pleasantly surprised of the wide range of choices and great prices. read more

Lunch Box Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

This place is right down the street from me and has had a standing groupon now deal for probably 4+ months now. I have taken advantage of this a few times and i have to say i am surprised by all of the positive reviews. Maybe I was spoiled by Maize n Blue in Ann Arbor, or maybe LBD is truly meh. The first 3-4 visits I attempted to get a "hot" sandwich...ha. Maybe if hot means partially toasted bread and cold meat in the middle. I tried different types of sandwiches to no avail, always cold in the middle. I dont find them very appealing when you bite through hot (but not really toasted) bread, lukewarm toppings, and cold meat. I also tried a couple of their sides, most being lackluster, but the most amusing was the mac n cheese. For the price and description I was expecting a nice homemade mac with a good crust. What I got was made from a box with a tiny sprinkle of un-toasted panko on top. In addition to their food's shortcomings, I cant really say the staff has ever struck me as very friendly. Not necessarily rude, but also not really seeming like they want to deal with customers. I kept going back thinking I was missing something because of all the positive reviews, but honestly after 6-7 trips (2 of which found them out of corned beef) I dont see a reason to ever eat here again, which is disappointing because of its proximity and tempting menu. read more

Meh, I've had a better French Dip at New York Deli and The Ugly Duckling. I'll try it again, but I'll stay away from hot subs. The menu said it came on a baguette, but mine came on lavash. And I swear the au jus was actually beef broth from ramen noodles. Also, it seemed like it took forever. And I ordered a Coca Cola (my one cheat can for the week) and all they had in the cooler was Diet Coke and Sprite. Nice job keeping the cooler stocked. On the plus side, the kid who took my order was really pleasant and hospitable. Which is shocking for places like this that employee mostly high school and fresh out of high school kids. Usually, they just act like they're completely disinterested and robotic. read more

Well, if you are going to get sandwiches to go on the East side of Detroit/Grosse Pointe---this has to be on your radar. They have a group of orders that show up pretty much on their best seller list (among them, the Southern BBQ sandwich, a Cobb salad, Thai chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, orzo salad, etc)---and they're all solid. The soups usually include a turkey chili and then 2-3 others---all worthwhile. And it's a relative bargain and portions are LARGE. If you eat an entire sandwich of theirs everyday---you're going to gain weight. I would say, and it's not enough of a drawback to trigger the loss of a star---that the wait for an on-line order for pick up can stretch a bit longer than they predict. Well, good food sometimes takes time. I'll make that choice every day. read more

The sandwiches here are unique, that's for sure. However, their portion sizes and price points leave much to be desired... Though, you're probably not surprised reading that, as this is a Grosse Pointe venue... Still, every once in a while you just havvveeee to get some Lunch Box! read more

I work at a nearby hospital and we ordered 7 sandwiches from them today. Not only did they give us a total that wasn't right, but they kept putting the person who ordered on hold when she called to have them itemize everything. I myself ordered a plain grilled chicken breast sandwich with no cheese (to make it healthier) and no tomato (just because I don't like it). It is gross. I feel like gross is an understatement here. I was trying to be healthy with this, but they buttered the heck out of my sourdough bread. The chicken is incredibly dry and the lettuce was apparently grilled with the chicken and is so disgusting looking. It's wilted and brown and totally unappetizing. I am calling them and then throwing it away. I've made plenty of grilled chicken sandwiches. They're not hard. I'm not sure what they did to this, but it is so over cooked and gross that I would never order from there again. read more

I've been going here for over 10 years and the food is still fantastic but the service is gone WAY downhill. Last time I picked up, employees were arguing about who had to get the phone, who had to pull the sandwich out of the oven blah blah blah. Just unprofessional and uncomfortable to be around- like my (and every other customers) sandwich was an inconvenience. Hopefully they get the bad apples out and bring the quality of service back up. What a bummer read more

I love the sandwiches at this place. I have been ordering from here for years. They have an extensive menu of sandwich choices long with salads and soups. The place is really small with a few table for seating. You can call in your order for pick up but they also deliver. The only bad thing is that there is not a whole of parking around the place. read more

Lunch Box Deli - Tony Danza - Sandwiches Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

This place is owned by the same people that own Burrito Mundo, which is my current favorite place to get a worldy burrito. BOOM™! I speak spanish, yo! Sure, I walk into this place regularly with a vicious favorable bias. I don't care, sue me. My taste buds are ready to rocked with fresh, locally-gathered ingredients. And you know what, Jeeves? I've yet to be let down! The only drawback is the location and space. It's on a treacherous strip of Mack that you can only comfortably drive into if you're going... northeast bound? Yeah. BOOM™! Topography for that jazz! Then you have to park at a weird meter that was installed in 1934. I mean, seriously folks, what's the point? I've had wraps. I've had salads. I've had cookies (which is the reason they don't get 5-stars - step that up, my damies). I've had formal sandwiches. In the mortal and modest words of Hammer, "it's all good" (except the cookies could be tastier or could have more variety - I am not big on chocolate chip). Anyway, a local food spot that supports local farmers and make Grade A+ delectables [most of the time]. Get with this. Oh yeah, did we mention that they double as a catering operation. Say wha-aaaaat?! read more

Another vote for the vegetarian friendly menu! I'm not a vegetarian, but I always seem to get their veggie sandwiches. I've had the portabella (portabella, roasted red pepper, onion, and swiss on pumpernickel), voodoo melt (peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives, swiss, and pesto on olive bread), and the grilled veggie (just what it sounds like, with asiago on foccacia) more often than anything else. Their bread is great, and all their veggie ingredients are fresh. On the meat side, I feel like the "Tony Danza Extravaganza" is the quintessential deli sandwich - ham, salami, roast beef, red onion, provolone, and tomato on a hoagie. Somehow they put all that together and it doesn't feel like just a huge pile of meat. It does take a few minutes to put your sandwich together, especially if you get a hot one (b/c it has to cook, obviously). I usually call ahead and my sandwich is ready to go when I get there. I call them pretty much whenever I'm going to be out in the Pointes, regardless of if it's actually meal time - I'll just take it home to eat later if it's not! The one time I ate in was fine, the radio was playing, and they have plenty of local rags - metro times, real detroit weekly, etc for perusal during your meal if you don't have a companion. Great local place to get a sandwich, highly recommended. They're getting 4 instead of 5 only because they're not open on Sunday and I wish they were! read more

I can't say I've ever had a bad experience here! Orders are always accurate, food is always well-prepared and tasty and the service is always quick and friendly. Our office is a big fan of getting carry-out from this place because there is something for everyone- Vegetarians and Carnivores alike! Stuff We Love: -Mr T Veggie -Corned Beef Reuben -Spicy Special -Vegelante -Turkey Club They also have a nice selection of cookies (when you get them fresh and warm, they are heavenly!) and chips next to the register. read more

I have been coming here for years. I feel like Joey, from Friends, because I love sandwiches! There is a wall covered in sandwich options, and you really can get whatever you want. My favorite sandwich from years ago isn't made any more, but I've found some awesome replacements. I work in Detroit and its really worth the drive to eat here. There's a seating area inside, or you can take your food to go (they're really fast). The seating inside is on the small side, so you have to be lucky to get a table. Also, the turkey chili is delicious and I'm not a soup fan! read more

HUGE selection of sandwiches, salads, and even a few other entrees. Tons of veggie-friendly options (which I always appreciate...because although I am not vegetarian, sometimes I'm just not in a meaty mood). Everything is fresh. Awesome ingredients. (I am partial to the Chickado...chicken, advocado, veggies, and some kind of delicious mayo-but-not-quite sauce). And choices of a handful of types of tasty breads. They have a "Grab n' go" fridge with pre-made sandwiches that are a bit cheaper...great if you are in a hurry and there on the busy lunch hour. It's a small joint, and with all the sandwiches made to order, it can definitely get backed up. But to me, I'd much rather spend the extra 10 minutes and $2 and get a fresh sandwich made just for me than do the grab n' go. They offer discounts to Grosse Pointe South HS students, I believe....and they are also totally cool with giving a discount to all the teachers and employees of Grosse Pointe Music Academy next door (that would be me). Grab a carry out menu and call in your order ahead...this will save you some of the wait which, to me, seems to be the only downfall of this place. read more

Ordered sandwiches (Turkey Reubens) a couple of days ago. Delicious! They have an excellent selection of soups, sandwiches, wraps from which to choose. Ready when promised. Reasonably priced. read more

Delicious selection of sandwiches with good prices. The owner is very nice and helpful. Great staff. Would highly recommend.

I was in the mood for a corned beef sandwich on rye with mustard and Swiss cheese. You know, a classic deli sandwich. Well the "Pointes" and deli don't go together often. But I've found a gem of a place that changed my thinking when it comes to the "deli" and "Grosse Pointes" oxymoron. The Lunchbox Deli is a funky Royal Oak kinda joint that seems out of place in this conservative local. Great decor, small dining area, hand written menu board, and eclectic staff. Thought I made a wrong turn at first. But on to the the food. Tons of exciting sandwiches. Of all types. Including vegetarian! Nothing boring. All affordable. I don't have a fav yet. But the taco salad is pretty good. They also offer tasty salads and soups. Again, exciting and affordable. Great prices and fantastic daily specials. Menu is online at www.lunchboxdeli.com read more

This place is EPIC! I love the people who work here as much as I love the food here. I'm addicted and I visit for lunch or dinner as many times as I am able per week! I'm grateful for all the amazing sandwiches, the most amazing, flavorful menu, and I especially love the warm sandwiches and vibes in this place. It's like my second home and it can be yours too if you're a sandwich/ soup lover! My favorites are the Chicado and the Spicy Special. read more

The Mr. T Veggie sandwich is so simple, yet it is SO delicious! This place is small, and gets packed around lunchtime, so I'd recommend phoning your order in. When they say 20-25 minutes on the phone, it will be 25, so plan accordingly. They have a great selection of sandwiches, soups, and salads. Reasonably priced for being an independent deli. The owner is super nice. Once my order was wrong, and he corrected it and gave me a free sandwich on my next visit. They're big on customer satisfaction here; by providing tasty treats and great customer service! read more

I ordered a delivery at 3:04p and it's now 4:35p and still no food. Mind you this business is about 1 mike from my house. I should never have ordered delivery and just went to pick it up. Why offer a service you can't fulfill?? Won't be doing this again, could've eaten at a restaurant and been done by now. Beware anyone hungry and in a hurry read more

Love salami, I love cured meats in general. One day, I'd like to buy a pork leg and cure it myself. Now i just need to find a place that will sell me buckets of sea salt so I can do it myself. I've only been here once and it didn't rock my socks off, but it was close to it. I've had the italian melt, and salami stacker. Like I said, I love salami so I ordered two dishes. Both were delicious, so much so that I needed an afternoon nap. Lots of bang for your buck here. Next up is the french dip. I'll get back to you on that one. read more
