I really enjoyed my time. The food was good with the exception of my steak sandwich. The steak was too chewy for a sandwich to be successful. The staff was great the atmosphere was amazing and they compromised meals so I will definitely be back.
Picked this place for lunch based on many good reviews and I was not disappointed! My Cobb salad was beautiful as well as fresh and tasty. Love the Sunshine tea … a perfect cool drink for such hot and humid day. My friend’s Chicken wrap was delicious! There was a steady line up from the time we arrived near noon to when we left at 1pm. Yet the staff seems to have perfected their tasks because all foods were ready on record time. The only thing I don’t like is the the order app asked for tips even though it’s a self-service: the customers are the ones who entered the order details, paid, picked up the food, and disposed/clean up afterwards. Regardless I would highly recommend this lunch spot due to the many choices on the menu and the quality of the food.
This is a cozy little cafe with excellent breakfast burritos, lunch sandwiches and salads. The Garden of Eden Salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing was amazing! The staff are very friendly and helpful with any questions or substitutions. The portions are very generous and the ingredients are very fresh and local, including fresh baked bread from a local bakery. They also have a plentiful variety of specialty coffee drinks and smoothies.
If you're looking for delicious food and exceptional customer service, look no further than The Lunch Lounge! I've had the pleasure of enjoying their tuna melt before, and it's always been a favorite of mine. Recently, I tried their Cobb salad, and I have to say, it was absolutely incredible - so incredible, in fact, that I'll definitely be ordering it again! The Lunch Lounge is truly a hidden gem - I feel lucky that it's close to my work. I only wish it were open later, but I certainly understand. My team and I always make a stop there for breakfast and coffee, and we're never disappointed. I highly recommend The Lunch Lounge over Panera Bread across the street - the food is far better, and the customer service is second to none. If you're on the hunt for something delicious for breakfast or lunch, you can't go wrong with The Lunch Lounge! And the prices won’t break your wallet!!
Dang good lunch for a reasonable price. Got the grilled hot pastrami and a Strawberry Fields lemonade. Yum and Yum. Bonus: sunny outdoor seating.
I had work in the area and stopped by based on prior reviews and was not disappointed. The cashier was friendly and helpful, they gave great recommendations so I tried the Frosted Cinnamon Roll cold brew and the Big Toasty with jalapeno bagel. I absolutely enjoyed them and will stop by again next time I'm in the area.
Great service, great food! Just an inviting little breakfast/lunch spot with what seemed to be genuinely good people. Visited while staying in the Phoenix Sky Harbor area and will stay close by if I return just to have breakfast here. Food was vibrantly fresh and tasty. Also had a custom smoothie for a mid morning snack/refreshment. Thank you Lunch Lounge for your hospitality!
Loved it first off. Got there and it was very busy, the lunch rush is real with this place, which is a great sign! It was worth the wait, the food was made with care by a team that was communicating well and working effectively to get people's food and coffees ready. The food was very good, a well made Italian Lover sandwich which wasn't too wet with dressing and wasn't too dry either. A great choice for lunch, a tad pricey though, but everything is.
