The bread was toasted and the ingredients were fresh. The portion of meat was very small though, throwing off the balance of the whole sandwich. I loved their menu choices and I'd be interested to try something else here, including ice cream or soups, but I'd like to see more than the tiny serving of beef and garnishes I had. It's right in downtown Menomonee Falls so conveniently located for a quick stop. read more

The Lunch Box Deli - BEEFY TEMPTATION - Delis Near Me - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

I've been craving a pastrami sandwich for several weeks and finally had the chance to visit the LBD to give their take a try. Served on a some tasty rye bread the sandwich included an ample portion of pastrami that was cooked to perfection, along with cheese, lettuce, tomato and a few pieces of onion made for an incredibly tasty sandwich that definitely satisfied my craving. Although definitely short on pastrami when compared to a New York deli, perhaps they could offer a piled high version to put the sandwich over the top! The service was fantastic and the restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere. My only complaint would be that there were small bugs flying around the self serve soda machine, not cool. Short of that I will certainly be back to try some other menu options. read more

The Lunch Box Deli - Pastrami Sandwhich - Delis Near Me - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

Absolutely fantastic food. I had the Beefy Temptation and it came out so fast! The bread was perfectly toasted and the meat was piled high. The cheese was so melty. That and the perfect amount of spicy giardiniera. Service was super fast and very friendly and the place is super clean and everything looked next to new. I will most definitely be back to try everything else on the menu. read more

I was so excited for this place to open and had high hopes. Sadly, I don't think I will be returning anytime soon which is unfortunate. Menu: They seemed to have a big menu however no paper menu option so trying to search through the menu in line was a bit overwhelming and hard to look through calmly without feeling rushed. Pricing/food: It cost 40$ for a ham and cheese sandwich and two orders of mac and cheese. The ham and cheese sandwich bread was very dry, we thought it was going to come toasted, maybe we needed to ask for that? So that was disappointing. The mac and cheese looked good but arrived luke warm, definitely not worth the price. I thought Panera was expensive, but after eating here it seems super reasonable by comparison with much better food. Coupons: I was able to use 5$ coupon and it still be 40$. Also they had an ad that says" buy one 25$ gift card get one free" but I was told that's only if your purchase that online (which it did say in the fine print) but was disappointing to say the least once we saw the prices. The female owner had come to tell me that, but didn't seem very nice with her delivery. Drink menu was confusing. It was cold inside. A lot of staff present and they had a man walking around the floor which made me feel like I was in a lunch room being watched. Maybe he was to pick up dishes, but not a very comfortable experience. There was a woman walking around cleaning the tables occasionally with a bucket and a rag that she would put back by the window, didn't seem very sanitary. Maybe some of these kinks can be worked out over time, but pricing was super surprising and big deterrent. read more

If I could give no stars I would. Opened at 10, we arrived at 1020. I'm assuming they opened late as they weren't quite ready for business. The sample dessert was mold on the counter, nothing in the cases, the soda dispenser had no syrup added yet. Our two Mac n cheeses came out after a long wait, and were simply not edible. My friend had the pulled pork Mac n cheese, it was lukewarm and the Mac n cheese was tasteless. I had the gluten free Mac n cheese, not edible. Lukewarm, doughy tortellini stuck under some sort of yellow soupy "cheese" sauce. I asked if anything was made there and was told it was all vendor made. Disgusting. We walked out and left the food sit there. And it was $36.00 FOR NOTHING. Our first and last time there. read more

The food was delicious. We had the meatloaf sandwich. It was delicious. It was hard to decide what to eat. They have a big menu

Food was immaculate. I got the birds of a feather sandwich and it was perfection. All of the ingredients were fresh and so delicious. My coworker got the corned beef sandwich - and she stayed and I quote "was the best corned beef sandwich I have ever had". Service was fast, deli was clean. 10/10 read more

The Lunch Box Deli - Birds of a Feather Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

I don't understand the reviews! This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Every detail was perfect. It was around $15 for the beef and gravy sandwich, fountain drink, and bag of chips which I felt was slightly high, but definitely worth it after taking my first bite. So so delicious. Soft, perfectly toasted bread. Flavorful tender beef. Gravy good enough to drink. High quality cheese. Everything seems extremely clean, there's plenty of seating, the staff was courteous and attentive, the music is great. I'll certainly be back! read more

The Lunch Box Deli - Beef and gravy sandwich - Delis Near Me - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

First time for breakfast this morning, and I was pleasantly surprised. The breakfast sandwich had a fresh egg, bacon, and American cheese (but the good stuff, not the name brand). I received my order quickly, as it wasn't packed, but for freshly made, it was really quick. For $7.99, it was definitely worth the price. As a heads up, The Lunch Box now has an expanded breakfast menu that I am more than willing to try! Check them out!! read more

I REALLY want this place to succeed. It's a great location and the food is decent. However, the prices are incredibly high and the service needs to improve. I ordered their pulled pork sandwich and a bowl of the broccoli cheese soup. The portions were very small. My pulled pork came on a small hamburger bun. At other places, the meat is piled on. The meat barely covered the bun. My soup did not come with a roll and butter (advertised on menu) and I did not get a bag of chips with my sandwich order (advertised on menu). After paying for my order, my total was almost $24. That is without a beverage because that would have been another $4. I know they just opened, but their staff was not very friendly and the cashier was very impatient with an elderly couple in front of me ordering. It was not busy and there were plenty of tables open. The food was decent, but not worth the price for the portions being served. I wish they would have done without the fancy to-go bags and stickers on the styrofoam containers, and passed the savings on to the customer. Again, I really want them to succeed. The interior was clean and it looked like they had some nice bakery items in the cases. I will likely try their food again in a few weeks and hope that the prices have been reduced or the portion sizes increased. At the very least, I hope they have better customer service. read more

Damn, Damn, Damn! I REALLY wanted to like this place but I was severely underwhelmed. The food "tasted" okay. We had a pastrami sandwich and a BLT. There were VERY few options as far as sandwiches go - I think maybe 5 (BLT, Ham and Cheese, Pastrami, Turkey, and something else....) And can you really call yourself a Deli if you don't have freshly sliced meat in the deli case to choose from? I was very disappointed that they didn't have any fresh salads to choose from. The Pastrami Sandwich ($15.99) came with coleslaw, but my BLT ($9.99) did not. Both came with chips. Both sandwiches came in heavy stock wax/butcher paper and a plastic box, which seems VERY excessive. And the to go bag was a heavy duty bag that I would expect would come from a department store. (Tip: Spend less money on your packaging and pass that savings on to the customer) Service was okay - It did take about 10 minutes to get my two sandwiches - and there was no one in front of me in line and it looked like most people that were sitting in the restaurant had already eaten. The place looks clean and beautiful - and I would be willing to give it another try, but not until they update their menu and get more traditional deli fare! read more

I stopped in for an early dinner around 4pm on a Wednesday and ordered the Beef Temptation sandwich. The service was very quick and my food was great. The sandwich comes with a pickle, chips, and a drink. The interior of the restaurant is clean, updated, with black and white decor. I would recommend this place to others and will go back again. read more

My friend waited over 30 minutes for a $13.00 dry sandwich they couldn't even cut in half. She compared it to "something your mom made for the beach but left the mayo off so it wouldn't go bad". I didn't order anything after watching the employees blow air into their gloves to put them on. Disgusting. Also, here is a photo of an employees hair in the ice cream. Will never return. read more

Stopped in here over the weekend on the way back from a soccer tournament. Was pleasantly surprised with a great overall experience. The service was excellent. I ordered the recommended corned beef sandwich - quite good. One daughter ordered the ham legend, kids menu - devoured it. The other, the chicken torilla soup - she loved it. The place was immaculate. They offer ice cream by the scoop, too - of course we got some for dessert! read more

Food was delicious and portion sizes were excellent, the beef melt is very good! The staff were very friendly and offered help for anything on the menu that needed clarifying. This restaurant is a lovely, diner style place with a great vibe. read more

This place has some HUGE shoes to fill. Ninos Italian bakery which was the previous establishment had their family running the day to day and the customer service, love, warmth and reasonable costs were well appreciated and loved by the community. It was always packed on every Sunday. We were somewhat disappointed to see the costs be somewhat out of line with what received in terms of portions and quality. Food tasted well, not disappointed there, but was not worth the cost. Needs to come done 20-30% for it to be sustainable in Menomonee falls or the portions need to be giant. Also $9.99 for a slice of cheesecake is also a bit out of line. I know overhead is high these days but the pastrami sandwhich is about the same as an Arby's corned beef at under $7. read more

Stopped for lunch last Sunday with a few friends, and we were all impressed. The employees were friendly and efficient, and the food was delicious. Do yourself a favor and try the berry tartlet dessert that they have, it's amazing! read more

Ordered the veggie sandwich online with no description. I got a sandwich on what seemed to be white wonder bread with coleslaw and a slice of tomato and giardiniera relish. Very disappointed for a $13 sandwich. read more

We went here for lunch last week. We shared the roast beef sandwich and chips very good. Would recommend

Yeah, you gotta park in the rear and walk around. Ham sandwich is pretty good for $15 pricey did come with a bag of chips and a soda. They seem to have very limited hours. read more

First time visit, everything was delicious! Very fresh Salad, made to order sandwich & great creamy tomato soup. I will be back very soon! They serve breakfast sandwiches too! read more

Not worth the price $15.99 for a Jazz Cobb salad It was smaller and more expensive than most places. The Avocado was bad as in browning and a weird taste, very little lettuce, and the chicken and bacon were dry and overcooked. If I didn't spend so much money for it, and my refrigerator wasn't so bare, I would have tossed it outside to the animals. What I didn't eat did go into the trash. It wasn't worth leftovers because if it was lack luster at first, it wouldn't be good the next go around. read more

My husband stopped to get me a sandwich and piece of chocolate cake on opening day. We were so excited about the Grand Opening finally! But, maybe we should have waited:( We bought the turkey sandwich - it was ok. Nothing special, just deli turkey shaved on plain white bread which tasted like the white bread we buy every week at the supermarket. Then they add some lettuce and mayo. Lunch Box is a good name for the place since it tastes like something I would put in my kids lunch box for school. They get their cake from Cheesecake Factory. So that was good, but at $10 a slice I should probably just go eat at the Cheesecake Factory:( read more

The food is good. About typical for a deli. The wait time for food...do you have 40 minutes to wait for a sandwich, with only 10 people in the establishment? If so, it's for you. If, however, you're a little or even slightly pressed for time. Not your place. I waited 40 minutes for a sandwich despite asking about my order twice. I gave it two stars because the sandwiches themselves are decent. Ally's Bistro does the whole deli thing much better, however. Even when they're slammed, never longer than a 15 minute wait. I'd avoid this place. read more

Sandwich was delicious! So big that I even could save some for later :) staff was very friendly & inviting. I'll definitely be back

This was amazing i had the best hot ham and rolls i ever had in a long time they are also the best people i have ever met thank you and i can not wait to visit again read more

Had an amazing dining experience here - the food was fantastic, the atmosphere inviting, and the staff were incredibly nice and patient, especially with my niece and nephew. Definitely coming back! read more

The Deli truly impressed with their delicious ham and rolls. The flavors were exceptional, creating a memorable and delightful experience.

They are in serious need of process improvement. The menu board is completely out of order, the numbering system has repeats, they do not have a consistent ordering process, the wait for food suffers due to serious inefficiency. The food isn't bad, but the experience is not good. read more

I stopped in for a late lunch. The staff was helpful in suggesting the lobster Mac n Cheese. The sauce was creamy and cheesy. I liked the atmosphere and the new updated look. It is so nice to have a new place to visit for lunch! I met the owner too who inquired how my food and service were. Welcome to the community! read more

First off, I want to mention the tone of the employees. After they messed up my order, they hesitantly took it back. I had ordered the ham sandwich, toasted without some of the toppings. Not only did it NOT come warm, it had everything on it. I kindly asked if they could fix it- and the worker took it with an annoyed face. They were not very busy, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem. After I got my food back, it was one of the most basic sandwiches I've ever eaten. For $15??? No way. The prices are much too high for a bistro deli and for a "quick lunch" don't bet on it too much. Took around 20 minutes for one sandwich. Also, the person I'm assuming was the owner had a rude demeanor on her face and was just staring out, scanning the room in the front. A little weird. Lastly, the restaurant was cold and a little bit messy. Overall, I will NOT be coming back here and this will be shut down in a few months. Mark my words. read more
