Lunch Box Deli

I’m not a picky eater, but I like to think I have good taste — and let me tell you, the food here tastes GREAT. I discovered the joint yesterday when my sister and I dined in, sharing a California Chicken Wrap and a Chicado. Today I couldn’t help myself, I went back for a take out order, and I’m writing this as I sit on my couch eating an Outlaw. I also ordered a Gambino for later. The enchilada soup reminds me of Max and Erma’s tortilla soup, which is to say it’s delicious. I will say the chipotle mayo on the California Chicken Wrap had a good kick to it, so if spicy isn’t your thing I wouldn’t recommend it.

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.

This place is a nice little gem almost on the Detroit border. An almost overwhelming sandwich selection. I have had a few different ones, but my favorite is the Tony Danza Extravaganza. Sandwich is so big that my wife and I can split it and get some soup too, which is very good. Very friendly staff and prompt service for hand made sandwiches, that some go through the oven. The only negative would be the lack of seating. Maybe three tables. Plan on carrying out and if you get lucky cool. Maybe where they got the name? It is about tje size of a lunch box. It is for sure worth checking out. I even go out of my way to go sometimes.

Very yummy sandwiches. I would say the prices are a tiny bit too high, but I am a student. A native Grosse Pointer, I personally find that most of the restaurants in GP are disgusting, over-​priced and bland, but this is a solid sandwich joint. Great choice.

Love this place! Plenty of options. Including vegetarian sandwiches. I love the spicy special. Very reasonable and fast!

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.

Awesome food, huge menu, nice staff. You can order & pay on their app (very easy to navigate) for pickup or delivery or just go in and sit by the window to enjoy your sandwich. A good staple lunch option for creative sandwhiches. My favorite is the spicy veggie which I then add turkey to.

Bruh. This place is our go-​to for a picnic or when hanging out on Lake St. Clair. There menu is vast. Too many great sandwiches to choose from. The outlaw is my favorite. Call ahead and order if you are in a rush.

I’ve been here several times and I’m never disappointed. They have a huge menu and everything I’ve tried is great. I don’t live in Grosse Pointe but it’s always worth the trip over there to get a yummy sandwich! :)

Great sandwiches! One of the best lunch spots in the Detroit area.
Wish they had a location in the city.

I eat here frequently. They used to be amazing but over the past few months the quality of the food has declined. Salads are coming out with wilted lettuce and rotting avocado. And the bread on the sandwiches are burned. I sincerely hope they get it together, this was one of my favorite places, I would tell people to come to Grosse Pointe just for this restaurant.

Great sandwiches. Takes a little bit of time if you don’t order ahead. Large portions stacked high with quality ingredients.

This is a solid place to eat lunch or dinner or whenever the hell you want!
It’s a little place that peeks off Mack, on the corner of Cadieux. Parking is abysmal but that’s the worst part of the experience, as the amount of food offered is outstanding.
You walk in and there is a HUGE menu of just sandwiches on one wall, from chicken to beef to turkey to vegetarian. Each sandwich has something a little different from the next, whether it is the bread it is served on (which can be altered which you order) or what comes with it. There are classics like the Chicken BLT, chicken salad, tuna melt, chicken fajita and The Cuban.
Or, you can be adventurous and try one of their «special» sandwiches — like The Outlaw, which is turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper-​jack cheese, and tomato baked on a rustic roll and topped with BBQ ranch — or the Chicado (what I ordered): Chicken breast, avocado, swiss, and tomato baked on a rustic roll and topped with ranch.
There are also numerous soups and salads one can order, including a side Caesar, tomato basil soup or a full Cobb Salad. And if you want sides or something besides sandwiches, there is mac ‘n cheese, orzo pasta salad, quesadilla and tomato cucumber feta. The tomato soup is pretty good.
For two sandwiches and a soup it cost less than $ 17, so not too bad. Did the sandwich completely fill me up? Not completely, but I had half the soup and The Chicado and was pretty full overall — and that was for dinner. If you eat a sandwich for lunch it is an absolute perfect size.
Whether or not this is better than places like Nautical Deli is pretty subjective. Both offer different kinds of sandwiches and put their own spin on it, but I would eat at both these places over just about every other sandwich shop. Finely crafted food that is pretty quick and fresh, and you can’t beat that.

I have such a love/​hate relationship with these guys. They can be less than friendly at times, but their sandwiches are bomb. I got bad service less than a week ago and said I wouldn’t be back… Well, now it’s Thursday and I need a quick, healthy dinner, so here I am.
If you don’t mind a side order of ‘tude then stop in and try a Mr. T Veggie wrap.

Th best sandwich place in Michigan! Nothing compares. Great food, great service, great sandwich selection! You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I got the corned beef. This is just my opinion, but it tasted like just another lunch meat. It didn’t have that unique consistency that corned beef has. It was rubbery and lacked flavor big time. This was my first time eating here so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing…

Man the sandwich look like a fist!!! I could only eat half of the sandwich for lunch and the edit was not long. Price justify every bite I took. Well worth every penny!!!

Good sandwiches but the staff is always rude. I avoid this place because of the way they treat their customers.

Lunch Box Deli is a very respectable little sandwich shop. Be aware that there’s pretty much no seating inside, so it’s more of a carryout place. Some of the reviews point to the corned beef or reuben sandwiches. Skip those and go to one of the delis on the west side of town (Steve’s, etc.) if you really want good beef. Instead, try one of their other sandwiches like the Bird (chicken, hummus, feta, spinach, sundried tomato). There’s somewhat of a price premium here, but Grosse Pointe is sorely in need of good, independent shops and restaurants, so stomach the extra $ 1 or just go to Subway and support another massive corporation.

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.
