    Ham and cheese panini
    Tim R.

    This place is fine if they advertise what's on thEir daily special. A ham and cheese panini smothered with peppers and green onioNs and who knoows what else. Smells as well. I want a ham and cheese panini with ham and cheeSe. And not all doctored up unless you tell Me. NUF said. And at $10.50 it isn't cheap. Threw it in garbage where it beloNgs Here's a novel idea, since you are in a hospital setting, list ingredients and let the bUyer know especially if it's not the normal take on the sandwich Won't be back The trash can liked it

    First off The Lunch Box is located in the AHN building on Federal Its a little spot you order and take away in the lobby of the medical building are two tables and 8 chairs I assume they will let you sit and eat if you so desire. I was warmly greeted as I looked up at the posted menu Friday around 12pm the place was hopping 4 on line a few folks waiting for their number to be called (your receipt has your number) a nice menu filled with all sorts of Sandwiches plus paninis its a choose your own you pick the fillings such as roast beef, buffalo chicken, turkey and the bread French wheat Italian marble rye a bun or wrap toppings and condiments you can even order half a sandwich what a great idea 3.50 or a whole for 5.50 its a good deal they also offer soups this day they had creamy potato and it was vegetarian YAY case had nice looking salads and pastry you can also get sandwich salad combo they have usual always seen at delis bags of chips plus bottled sodas and tea AND what I came for smoothies I had a lush going green there was spinach in there it was so good not so sweet and just good 5 dollars very worth it they also offer a berry and a peach mango ok I confess I also got myself a cream pastry it was so fresh and good and at 1.50 it was worth every calorie. they just opened so they need some slack apparently someone called in an order and they were confused with receipt numbers I felt bad for her ...she asked for a refund and left the concept here is great and I will be back parking on Federal St can be a challenge but hey this is Pittsburgh beautiful Northside I will be back

    Drum Roll, please! Introducing my new favorite grab and go lunch spot. This brand-new, small gem is nestled in the Allegheny Medical Building right beside the security desk. As I walked toward the door, I could smell the delicious-ness cooking from the grill. I walked in and was immediately greeted by Shirley at the register. The workers were welcoming and ready to take my order with a smile. The place was very clean, organized and lit up very well. They take Apple pay, Samsung Pay & Google pay in addition to the standard options. I ordered a corned beef sandwich, deviled eggs and peach/mango smoothie. The sandwich had a good amount of meat on it! The smoothie was great too! It was not too sweet and blended smoothly with no excessive ice chunks. BONUS: They actually use REAL FRUIT! The deviled eggs were also delicious, they were mayo/mustard based with a dash a relish, topped with smoked paprika--yum. They have decent options for breakfast too--sandwiches, cereal, pastries, yogurt & fresh fruit. For lunch, in addition to sandwiches they offer a "soup of the day" and a variety of salad options. I'm getting a panini next time!

    Going green smoothie

    So today one of my favorite sandwiches made it back on the menu The Lunch Box's Ham and Cheese deluxe with their special sauce and caramelized onions and green peppers. When I say this sandwich is so good I mean it, everything together pressed into a panini is so good.! Thank you Lunch box for always satisfying my needs from your great fresh salads and smoothies to your good and quick sandwiches, it's always a good time when I stop pass !

    Wow! What a great sandwich!…read more My wife and I visited Pittsburgh for the first time on July 30th, 2026. This is gonna sound crazy, but we stopped in for a sandwich at 9:00 a.m.!!! They've been around since 1933 and when you walk in you can feel the history. The walls are covered with painted caricatures of famous locals. This place is an institution. My wife and I sat at the counter and ordered a roast beef sandwich. All sandwiches come topped with tomatoes, coleslaw, and french fries. Yes, you read that correctly, they pile fresh cut fries onto all their sandwiches! The sandwich was massive and delicious! We are so happy we sought this place out and you will be too! Seek it out!

    Sigh, man this place was underwhelming. It's famous, it has a name, it has a reputation. But that…read moreseems to far outpace the quality of the food and service. One employee was VERY nice to my father who has mobility issues and let him sit inside in a chair while we stood in the line to get in, which did move relatively quick. I think 20 people ahead of us, and we were at a table in under 15 min. 5 of us ordered 5 different things, and only one person had an actually 'good' meal. That is not a high % of quality food. The rest were super bland and off the mark flavor wise. Our waitress was also nowhere to be found half the time, we often needed drink refills and she only came over to take our order and that was really it. We had to ask another employee for water and napkins. I just don't 'get' it. The hype is not worth it.

    My first restaurant since moving to Pittsburgh! We went on a Friday night and the restaurant was…read morepacked. We waited about an hour for our food which was kind of frustrating but they were absolutely slammed. Our server even brought us a second plate of bread and oil to make up for it (which we appreciated)! The food was worth the wait! Loved heirloom pasta and gnocchi w/ meatballs were delicious as well!! We also got tiramisu for dessert (not pictured) yeah, no. The mascarpone was dense and I believe they used cake instead of the ladyfingers. It genuinely pretty bad and I wouldn't get it again which sucked because tiramisu is my go to dessert (also pretty pricey for the portion we got). At that said, I will be back to try other dishes!

    For some reason, I had a feeling that something was amiss regarding this dining experience. I made…read morethe reservation on RESY and we were set. We got to the restaurant, approached the podium, I expressed the reservation and was told that they did not have one for me. We were asked to sit in the penalty box until they were able to find a table. We were fortunate and were seated. Our server was great. Very personable, helpful with the menu, made recommendations, etc. We ordered cocktails, which were very good. We then placed our order for dinner. My spouse had the beans and greens which were found to be quite good. I had the house salad which was also very good. For an entree, Bo ordered CACIO E PEPE and I ordered, BUCATINI all'AMATRICIANA. This is where we started to descend into food limbo. The cacio e pepe was flavorless with as little pepper as possible. So few, in fact that you could accurately count them. The pasta was overcooked and mushy. My entree was another disappointment. In the description, it states: "Bucatini Pasta, Guanciale, San Marzano Tomatoes, Pecorino Romano" Now, can any of you, off the top of your heads, tell me what Guanciale is? Guanciale just happens to be, an Italian cured meat made from pork jowl or cheek. Its name comes from guancia, the Italian word for cheek. It is rubbed with salt, black pepper, and spices, then aged for several weeks, creating a rich meat with a high fat content that is prized for flavoring classic pasta sauces. In my entree they were small cubes, meat-like, and one side of each cube was burnt to a crips, solid black and real crunchy. It gave the whole dish a burnt taste. Not the best. For dessert, Bo ordered the Banana Sundae Cheesecake. I bet you thought it tasted like bananas. Nope. It tasted like cheesecake. I passed on dessert. My choice was determined by the quality of my entry. Atmosphere. There are some restaurants, these days, where you have to raise your voice to talk to one another. Here we had to literally scream but still not be able to hear one another. It's all too common now to forego a suspended tile ceiling and carpet on the floor, which absorbs the sound. This was absolutely the loudest dining establishment I was ever in. Looking around, it seemed that most people have bought into the notion that this is as good as it gets when it comes to dining ambiance. Look, I'm old school and this just didn't cut it for us. There certainly are a lot who love the restaurant and grade it accordingly. I'm just not one of them. Bon appetit!

I was a little disappointed my 3 piece dark meat didn't come with a thigh but thats ok. The white cheddar grits were well cooked. I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor but that might just be white cheddar. Hubs had the chicken BLT that had a great flavor from the chicken breading and other sauces. The bread was super crispy and perfectly golden brown. Stop by if you're in the area and need a yummy quick meal!

It will tell you it is multiple vendor stalls, central seating. Instead, the first thing I noticed was a barrier to my experience -- a hostess counter. WTH? I politely ask her how this works. Do we walk around or do we get a table? Im confused and she is just as confused by my confusion. Apparently, it is a sit-down, get escorted to a table just like any other full-service restaurant model and with an hour wait to do so on this Picklesburgh Sunday so we did not partake (FYI, we had a great meal with no wait at Nicki's Thai restaurant). So, guys. If you are going to tout this as a beer and food "hall", remember what the concept is. (Um, Faneuil Hall?? In Boston ring a bell?)
