| - Wieners and waffles! The Lunch Box is such a simple concept that is executed to perfection. They offer the smallest menu I have ever seen but prove that you don't need to offer a lot to get happy customers.
The Lunch Box caters towards UNLV students but that didn't prevent my MGM Grand co-workers and I from making the trip during our lunch break. The restaurant is tiny with a few tables and chairs, cool art on the walls, and a dart board.
We told the owner, Joe, that we were first timers and he took the time to explain the menu (though it is not very extensive) and suggest some of the favorites. He also highly recommended that we get the Chocolate Chip Waffle and Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert.
They have some strange toppings on the menu such as the Chilean Dog that has mustard, spicy mayo, avocado, tomatoes and sauerkraut but I didn't want to be too adventurous on my first visit. I ordered the chili cheese dog with a side of chips and a soda for a total of about $6. My dog was delicious and I found the meal to be very fulfilling. Three of us shared the waffle sandwich and Joe graciously cut it into equal parts on separate plates without us having to ask. Brownie points!
I love The Lunch Box because it has all the things I look for in a good lunch: reasonable price, tasty, good portions, and great service. Besides, I can't resist a good wiener or a good waffle sandwich... so a place that serves both is an A+++ in my book!
