Lunch Box Cafe Alden Reviews
My daughter and I just happened upon LunchBox out of necity. This place was amazing! The food was everything I wanted it to be. The owners, Paul and Erica, were so nice and very welcoming. The history of the location was interesting as well. I have already recommended LunchBox Café to others, and I will definitely return!
Second time here the owner recognized us and remembered what we were drinking great small town vibe and everything we've ordered is worth writing home about. This is the place for breakfast and lunch!!
Totally down home friendly and delicious! Newest go-to.

Very good food and you cant beat the price. The owner/cook Paul has also catered my mothers funeral and my daughters baptism. Both of which were incredible. He worked with us on putting together an awesome spread. Everyone was blown away by the food he was on point with everything not to mention yet again that the pricing was very resonable i have paid MUCH more for other services that dont even compare to what we recieved through paul. He is extremely nice and very easy to work with....if your looking for a great breakfast or in need of a great caterer i HIGHLY recommend paying a visit to the Lunchbox Cafe!
AWESOME food and a home-like atmosphere. Paul is a great guy and an even better cook. If you haven’t stopped in and eaten at The Lunchbox Café yet, you’re missing out!
The owners are super friendly. The food is great. Huge portions priced fairly. Definitely worth the stop. Thru are cash only but no worries there is an ATM on site.
Had Erica and Paul cater an event and the food/service were the best! Highly recommend
Good food, good service, friendly owner. Hes kid friendly too! It's a comfortable laid back place. Stop on for a great breakfast meal!
Small dinner with good food. The outside of the building needs some love , but the inside is cute. The hamburger is recommended.
As a somewhat regular, I can say the food and service are both good and consistent. This little place is worth the trip. Keep up the good work!
New owner/cook/server in a remodeled cafe and it's excelllent! He's a very friendly and personable man who cooks and serves up very good and very tasty food. I'm very happy to be able to finally go back to the cafe my mom loved. Definitely going back as often as I can. Great job Paul!
The cook is also the owner. If you sit at the counter he will talk to you the whole time about what ever you want. The waitress is very attentive and nice. The food is great and always consistent. The pricing is beyond reasonable.
Great place for breakfast. Stop in and support a local business.
Amazing food, and great service. Come here if you want a fantastic breakfast
Excellent quality food. Cooked to perfection! Everyone should stop in, you won't be disappointed. Friendly owner and staff. Big gluten free selection.
Stopped through for a quick bite on a snowy morning, and the experience was everything you’d hope for: delicious food, homey atmosphere, and welcoming owners. The ideal place to rest and rejuvenate before or after a long day.
Just had breakfast at this awesome diner. Paul ( the owner) cooked us breakfast while we sat at the counter. We felt like we were in Mayberry. What a charming and kind atmosphere. Perfectly mismatched coffee mugs and the best breakfast we have had in a long time. Anyone reading this....Please don’t go there.. we want to keep this place for ourselves... lol. 👍
Was finally able to catch them for breakfast and I was not disappointed. Perfect breakfast for a such a cold blustery day. Cozy diner with amazing food and no shortage of friendly people.
Great Food, one of the best breakfast places I have been to in America, they used to make a spicy omelette which is my favourite omelette I have had.
