| - This review is LONG overdue but I believe the saying goes something like "better late than never, right?"
So, where should I begin?
I've read a lot of the reviews here on Yelp about The Lunch Box and they all seem to start with something like "well i'm not really much of a hot dog person but..." and I honestly believe that that statement is in fact very true for a lot of people.
I rarely ever eat hot dogs. Come to think of it, before I found The Lunch Box I'd only eat hot dogs once every month. That has changed tremendously since I had my first bite of that delicious Chilean Dog. Now there's not a week that goes by where I don't stop in at The Lunch Box to have a dog.. or two.
Now for the important information. The venue is a little obscure in the sense that if you were passing it by it wouldn't really stand out. It's one of those places that you need to be told about in order to find and although it may look a little bit discouraging on the outside, it's what's inside that counts.
Once you step in you'll be greeted by one of the coolest food shop owners I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Joe is the best! He remembers me and my friends by name and sometimes he even knows what we want to order as soon as we step up to the register. This is the kind of guy that makes you feel like you're hanging out at a friends house grabbing a bite to eat rather than going to a restaurant and talking to someone who sounds like a pre-recorded message taking your order.
Getting down to the nuts and bolts, this place is known for their "Hot Dogs that run amok" and I love every single one of them. You can order your dog by itself or you can get a combo meal which will grab you a bag of chips and a can of pop or you can pick any two hot dogs as a combo. The menu is short and simple with 6 types of hot dogs to choose from, but if you really want to, you can customize your order any way you'd like. There is also the option of getting a Soy Dog, if all beef is not your style.
Joe is also someone who likes to try new things so every now and then he'll have something different to offer on his menu. Since I've discovered The Lunch Box, there was a side of potato salad that used to be offered, which btw was amazing, and there has also been a yogurt parfait that's being served which apparently comes in a few flavors of which I've had the blueberry. It's a great alternative to the dessert I usually get.
Speaking of the dessert I usually get, the one thing that got me insanely hooked to The Lunch Box was the dessert. Joe offers up a Home-made Belgium Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich that, depending on when you go, can come in the flavors of vanilla, mint chocolate, butter pecan, or pistachio ice cream. No matter what flavor you end up getting, this wafflewich is always a treat. Hot and firm waffles with chocolate chips embedded into it and some powdered sugar sprinkled all around and then you have the ice cream in between. I'm telling you this treat is heaven and no matter what time of the day it is or what day of the week it is, if you offered me a wafflewich from The Lunch Box.. I would NEVER say no.
So fellow Yelpers, wherever you are in Las Vegas, be sure to stop in for a bite at The Lunch Box. I'm absolutely positive that Joe will not disappoint.
