Box Lunch — Restaurant in Wellfleet

Whatever the illustrious Earl of Sandwich was doing when he conjured up his iconic lunch staple, it's self-evident he'd be pleased with what this Box Lunch is dishing. On a recent balmy Saturday in January, for example, my wife and I sauntered over to this cozy shop just east of Main Street. Inside, we were quickly struck by its cleanliness and efficiency - plus popularity. Clearly, the Box Lunch's hefty menu has an avid following; and takeouts are a big part of it. But our timing was fortunate and a quaint table beckoned. For a starter, we shared a steamy home-made clam chowder loaded with diced spuds and real clams, a cup that'd keep a member of Captain Ahab's crew satisfied. Next, we opted for a warm roll-up, the Wild Turkey, two portions stuffed with turkey, mild onions, Swiss cheese and avocado, all in a light savory sauce. Then we opted to save our fresh desserts - a rich, super-moist brownie and a broad chocolate chunk (chip) cookie. All yummy and prepared with care and delectable...

Whatever you do, DON'T get any of the breakfast rollwiches. They are so flavorless that, if there were places to dine-in, I would've had the impulse to return the rollwich after the first bite. A single fried egg with 2 cranks of salt would genuinely have been more exciting. Wish I had been warned; I'm therefore warning you.

This is my partner's favorite place to get lunch. I dont have the heart to tell him I dislike it. Some of the rollwiches taste good, but a lot are very WET. I suspect they're using the wrong kind of tomato; it makes the rolls soggy. Additionally, they aren't properly wrapped and the contents fall out the back. We get these every day when we're out here; it's always messy and unpleasant; it's the antithesis of a rollwich.

I'm at least glad my partner enjoys his two BLTs...

Small place inside with limited tables to eat.

Lady at the cashier was annoyingly obsessed with wanting to know if I'm part of group order or not. I told her just take the order as it comes and stop festering customers with such annoying repetitive question regarding wether I'm part of the group or not (don't think she heard me though).

Wrap was not toasted (it was raw) and worse, the contents inside were so wet that contents slurred out wet when I took a bite.

They have no bathroom other than a Porta potty outside. Dies this mean employees do not wash their hands?

It's not your usual wrap we have all come to expect and I do not...
