I came here for the first time because Lumber Jacks (another eatery I wanted to try seemed to have been closed for good).
I saw chicken and sausage gumbo on their menu, but they ran out.
I tried the shrimp stew. It came with corn and potato salad. It was good.
We also tried the fried catfish (2 pieces), and I really enjoyed the piece I tasted.
If you are ever on Moss St. and looking for a plate lunch, the Lunch Box might fill the void.

Great home town spot with classic Cajun food, a perfect spot for lunch and helps support the local market. The service was quick, the food was good and the venue has room to facilitate the average crowd. They run lunch specials and you can also order off the normal menu. Prices are very reasonable!

Some of the best shrimp po boys I ever had. Had to order a second sandwich before I was done with the first.

Asking for something fresh and you get it and it’s not you asked to talk to someone about your meal and they tell you you’ve been waiting for it to be fresh. It’s kind of crazy when you ask for a refund and they tell you know I’m asking the manager Supposed to be on duty today, which is Sunday he said he’s the manager, but he didn’t want to give me his name. I advised no one to eat here because it is very nasty inside. I didn’t realize it being my first time customer service is even more nasty. I can see if you busy, but you just standing around

great little restaurant. good prices. fair portions. friendly staff. only wish to make it better is to offer muffalettas- I rather expect that at a south Louisiana lunch establishment that serves sandwiches.

During a recent visit to The Lunch Box, a quaint diner known for its Louisiana dinner with creole dishes, my husband and I had an enjoyable experience overall. The Lunch Box has a unique and nostalgic ambiance, adorned with various lunchboxes that instantly took me back to my childhood. It seems to be a popular spot, especially among locals and older patrons looking for a quick and affordable lunch.
I opted for the shrimp po’ boy, which was decent and flavorful. I’d rate it a 3.75 out of 5. My husband tried the fried pork chop special. Although it had good flavor, the pork was a bit dry, so we would rate it a 3.25 out of 5.
The standout feature of our visit was undoubtedly the friendly and welcoming staff. They were attentive and added a pleasant touch to our dining experience. While the food had its ups and downs, the overall atmosphere and service made it a worthwhile visit.
If you’re in the mood for some creole dishes and a trip down memory lane with its unique decor, The Lunch Box is worth checking out.
