Lunch Box — Restaurant in Lafayette

During a recent visit to The Lunch Box, a quaint diner known for its Louisiana dinner with creole dishes, my husband and I had an enjoyable experience overall. The Lunch Box has a unique and nostalgic ambiance, adorned with various lunchboxes that instantly took me back to my childhood. It seems to be a popular spot, especially among locals and older patrons looking for a quick and affordable lunch.

I opted for the shrimp po' boy, which was decent and flavorful. I'd rate it a 3.75 out of 5. My husband tried the fried pork chop special. Although it had good flavor, the pork was a bit dry, so we would rate it a 3.25 out of 5.

The standout feature of our visit was undoubtedly the friendly and welcoming staff. They were attentive and added a pleasant touch to our dining experience. While the food had its ups and downs, the overall atmosphere and service made it a worthwhile visit.

If you're in the mood for some creole dishes and a trip down memory lane with its unique decor, The Lunch Box is worth...

I had the bbq chicken which was delicious but the rest of the meal was not. The mashed potatoes with gravy tasted like they came out of a box, which they did b/c I called the restaurant and they confirmed it YUCK, at least they could of tried to make them taste good. The cole slaw had too much black pepper and the baked beans I suspect also came out of a can. I am disappointed in this family run business, they charge you $8.93 for boxed mashed potatoes and canned baked beans, SHAME ON YOU. Whatever happened to REAL FOOD? I will not...
