    Chicken, bacon and avocado on ciabatta
    Kelly T.

    The Lunchbox. Such a sweet little place for lunch! Menu has a lot of nice choices. The sliced chicken on ciabatta with bacon and avocado with pesto mayo was so good! Normally I wouldn't eat all of the bread, but this was so soft and fresh I ate every bite. My friend is hooked on the grilled chicken salad with apples and goat cheese. Fresh quiche and soup choices available each day. Save room for the homemade desserts! Super friendly and welcoming, and prices are reasonable. It's a small place so get there early for a table. There are also some tables outside for when it's a bit warmer.

    Great lunch spot in Simpsonville! The Lunchbox changed owners and the menu has been updated to serve upgraded lunch items. Sandwiches, salads, and soups dominate the menu but are done very well. The owner is a pastry chef and walks around with the cake of the day. I wish I'd known that going in so I could save room. The hot chicken salad was the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of but it's very unique. It's what they are known for but for me it wasn't the highlight. I almost skipped the split pea soup which was the soup of the day but I'm glad I didn't. It was full of flavor and the small bits of crouton on the top complimented it beautifully. I had the ham and Brie croissant which was really enjoyable but the peach relish was labeled spicy. I think it needed the heat to cut through some of the richness but it wasn't spicy at all. It was still really great. Oddly my favorite was the pickled okra served on the side. Adding this to the appetizers would be a great addition! Service was spectacular. There is No in May one server and the owner at the front. You would have never known one person was waiting on 10 or so groups at one time. Everyone was so friendly and helpful understanding the menu. The restaurant itself is setup well with a few outdoor tables as well. Give it a try!

    Late night dinner was fantastic! We started of by sharing…read moresome mussels which were cooked perfectly and the garlic sauce was so tasty that we asked for more bread to dip into it. I had the shrimp & grits & my husband had the sautéed pasta Bourguignon. Both delicious! We both had the summer sangria, also fantastic!

    Came in for restaurant week, but decided to order off the main menu. The results were mixed for us…read more The salmon dip appetizer was a fun twist on the more traditional trout or whitefish more frequently found in fish dips. The vichyssoise was a disappointment. The flavor was ok, but it was a thin bowl of broth rather than a creamy textural soup that I expected in a vichyssoise. It was also served with table spoons, not soup spoons, which made it difficult to eat (maybe a straw would have been better). My husband had the steak, which was perfectly cooked. I ordered the pasta bourguignon. If it hadn't been listed on the menu, I wouldn't have known there was beef in the pasta. I saw and tasted none. Cocktails were delicious and well crafted. The ambience pleasant as we walked in, and it wasn't too crowded yet as we had an early reservation. However we were seated in the back, in an alcove with 3 tables in it. The alcove was like an echo chamber. With only one couple near us and a half full restaurant, all the sounds were so enhanced in the alcove that we could barely hear each other. That area really needs curtains or fabric on the walls to dampen the sound effects. It was really unpleasant. Not writing Rotie off. Other members of my party enjoyed their entrees, particularly the salmon. I may have just chosen poorly that night.

The atmosphere was probably my favorite part--casual enough for a quick brunch but still nice enough for a day-date. Our server was friendly and checked on us several times without being overwhelming. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, which felt reasonable for how busy they were. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a relaxed brunch with good food and friendly service. You don't have to join the waitlist but I'd recommend it!

This location does not serve alcohol as compared to the Woodruff Road location a few miles north. So, if that's your thing for brunch, it's another 10 minutes up the road. They have a wide selection here of both sweet and savory items. Bowls, hashes, wraps, and of course the Million Dollar Bacon (for an extra $3 if you order a breakfast entree). I had the classic with grits. Let's talk about grits. They use Bob's Red Mill yellow corn grits, which are coarse ground, served with butter, and they are pretty good! I'm picky about folks overly creaming or over cheesing their grits. These were cooked so that the creaminess comes from the corn, in part, and they were not gummy. I substituted the grits for the potatoes on the Classic. That's two cage free eggs, four slices of bacon, and whole grain thick sliced toast. You can have smoked ham or turkey or pork sausage links or chicken sausage patties and gluten free bread is also available (no charge to substitute). So they are really going for the healthier options and conscience of providing good choices. My eggs were correctly done over medium. My buddy had turkey sausage biscuits and gravy, two eggs and grits. Coffee is decent, and they set a carafe on the table as well as a milk jug/wine carafe of cold water. I believe the entrees were around $14 each. The service was fine, we sat for a while after eating without being rushed. This is a solid breakfast, especially for those who would like a larger variety of options. Three stars is good, four stars is amazing. It was good, but not amazing, however I definitely will eat here again.

    First time here was Friday 2/20/26…read more Let me first say there was a prom going on in the area and parking was a nightmare. I was just about to give up and go somewhere else when a spot opened. We were a group of 10 and were the 6th and 7th to arrive. Came in and sat down and it was a good 15 minutes before our server appeared for drink orders. They had a really good stout on draft so I ordered that and the alligator bites. It was another 15/20 minute before our server came back to inform me the keg blew and that beer wasn't available. So water it was. The alligator bites were not horrible, but weren't great either. Very bland and the breading was.....not crunchy. It was almost like they were microwaved and not cooked long enough. I went with the double bacon burger and fries, which was a $0.99 upsell from the house chips that comes with the burger. Two big thick patties with cheese and bacon. Pretty good burger. Not the best I've ever had but not the worst either. As for the ambience, good luck having a conversation. The place is open and loud. The actual restaurant is fairly small but it's part of a larger area. Think of a food court in a mall. Very hard to have a conversation due to all the noise. And people wondering in and sitting down without checking in, taking wait staff away from their other tables. Overall, I wasn't impressed. But, like I said, the area prom had a lot more people out than a normal Friday night, so I will return again for another meal.

    We stayed at the bar for almost 10 minutes before taking off since no one was staffing it.read more
