| - I noticed that there were two listings for this business on Yelp. I can only assume that it's because this location was once owned by different people, but under the same name. Having never been to The Lunch Bag under EITHER owner prior to this, I can only speak for the new regime.
If you're not looking for this place, you'll most likely miss it. Located at the corner of Via Linda and 90th, The Lunch Bag is a very small sandwich shop located on the bottom floor what looks like an old executive building. Let's say that it's "quaint."
As you approach the building, you're greeted by a cute little storefront http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/xnewsBhNreOfi36cMFOM6Q?select=gPA2dZcP7pzbZgVHZUXyNQ#vPFdolsh7OOgfSmiuHCxHA, which gives it that local flavor. You'll also have to pass by the outdoor seating area. There are four tables total, all spread across the storefront, nicely tucked in under the natural awning created by the second story businesses http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/xnewsBhNreOfi36cMFOM6Q?select=gPA2dZcP7pzbZgVHZUXyNQ#WwaqX-Ap83NRX5Ovd9Stdw.
Once you get inside, you realize why the outdoor seating is so abundant. The seating inside is very limited. It IS there, though. So, if you happen to be here during a lull, you'll be able to sit down at one of the three or four decent indoor seats.
The menus here, just like at many local businesses, are made by hand using different colors of chalk (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/xnewsBhNreOfi36cMFOM6Q?select=gPA2dZcP7pzbZgVHZUXyNQ#iZbj9PSgVOa76Pa07dCIgg). This, in my opinion, is another great touch to any local business. There are several different menus hung on the wall, each one shouting out a particular portion of the available menu. There are sections for salads, sandwiches, and even deserts! For such a small place, they certainly offer a lot of options. Although I didn't see it anywhere on the menu, they DO offer options for children (Turkey, Ham, and PB&J). They also have a limited selection of sodas, but only in cans @ $1.00 each.
With my daughter in tow, we stopped in for lunch. She ordered the PB&J. The owner was kind enough to quarter the sandwich for my daughter, which for some reason tickled her pink. I asked my daughter how her sandwich was. She said, "It's the best sandwich I've ever eaten, daddy." Granted, she's 3 1/2, so her life experience is limited. But still...I'd say that's high praise.
As for me, I opted for a deli sandwich with turkey on 12 grain wheat. They stacked this sandwich to the moon and back! I could barely take a bite out of it without almost hurting myself. Although the size WAS a great selling point, it wasn't the MAIN thing. Even though it was a standard deli sandwich, something about it was really good. Perhaps it's because it came from loving hands. Sometimes that stuff matters most of all.
One more unique feature about this place is the fact that they deliver for free. You can call your order in, or you can even fax it, and they'll deliver it to you free of charge http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/xnewsBhNreOfi36cMFOM6Q?select=gPA2dZcP7pzbZgVHZUXyNQ#HgyIiyt5IQ_9X7qq2f0OxA.
I had a few moments to talk with the owner, and she says they're still trying to get out from under the shadow of some unsavory reviews from the old establishment. Hopefully this review will serve to restore some confidence in our fellow Yelpers.
