Best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had. Not to mention I witnessed an awesome act of community kindness here when the whole neighborhood came together help a senior citizen with dementia. Great spot great people.

What a great find. My friend and I stopped in on our way back to Tulsa and glad we did. The Burger was on point. I’m not one to reply to surveys or leave reviews, but this place is special. The Lunchbox has a friendly atmosphere and the food is fresh and exceptional. Crazy Roy stole the show complaining about the biscuit being so tough he couldn’t cut it (he just wanted another biscuit) lol. Cheers. I wish we had been there for the catfish.

I was with the guys that tried to buy the coffee mugs. Since I’m not a coffee drinker you guys earned all fives from me. You’re now a destination on all my trips to Lebanon. Great breakfast, service was fast and friendly. See you again soon.

Best hometown little slice of heaven around! My husband and I had their “kitchen sink” and substituted their variety of bread choices for a pancake. It was huge! We shared the whole thing because it is so filling. Highly recommend. Feels welcoming just like home. If nothing else, get a slice of pie and coffee and visit with the staff and bring friends. It’s a “feel good” place to be.

This is a small locally owned cafe on commercial street catty corner from the post office. The staff here are great and will serve you a burger at 8 am with no complaints. I work overnights and some time prefer a burger over breakfast even tho they have awesome breakfast burritos and basket and gravy. I love the sweet tea here, and my girlfriend loves the coffee. I make this a weekly stop and sometimes show up more than once a week . I love the atmosphere and the people who work and visit this cafe.I hope to see you there.
