We stumbled upon The Lunch Box in Winnemucca, NV completely by accident—just punched “lunch” into the GPS on our way to Wyoming and this little spot popped up. At first we weren’t sure what to expect since it’s located inside a community college, but we’re so glad we decided to give it a try.
From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. Everyone was genuinely friendly, and there was an easygoing, local vibe that immediately put us at ease. The facility itself was spotless—clean tables, tidy counters, everything well-kept, which is always a great first impression.
And then there was the food. What an amazing burger. Seriously—one of those unexpectedly great meals that completely elevates your day. Fresh, flavorful, cooked perfectly, and clearly prepared with care. It’s the kind of burger you don’t forget on a long road trip.
All in all, The Lunch Box turned out to be a surprising gem. If you’re passing through Winnemucca, don’t let its location in a community college fool you—this place is absolutely worth the stop. We’ll definitely remember it the next time we’re in the area.

Absolutely every bit of our meals were delicious! I highly recommend the fried pickles and the Birria Ramen if you like spicy They made the food quick and we ate at the tables outside with our kiddos. Great location on Campus to eat and explore.

Very friendly staff and great food. The cheese curds are amazing!! The portions were great. I had a lemonade slushy with ice cream and I need another now. I wish I lived closer.

The LunchBox is a restaurant for the college and is on campus. That being said, anyone can eat there and there is plenty of parking out front. At first, we thought we made a mistake eating here, but we were happy. We did. The employees were really nice and were fun to joke with. I got a burger and a chocolate peanut butter shake. The shake was really good.

Gosh I love this place. Their food is cooked to order, served by friendly staff and their salad bar is the best, so fresh and with PLENTY of options. Its a shame that they are only open during college hours and not weekends, I would go there ALOT more if they were.

the best burger i have EVER tried in my entire life. I look forward to eating it everyday. Not exaggerating i wake up early right before they open and immediately order. I get it so much they have recognized my order and name. They’re sooo nice and amazing. Best burger in the universe

The food is amazing and this is one of my favorite places to go for lunch. However, the last two times I’ve gone I’ve had less than great experiences. The first time the eggs had turned in the salad bar. No biggie except I had them covering my salad. I did tell them they had turned on my way out. I did not expect a refund, which is good because I wasn’t offered one. Today I went for tacos and they kept calling Catherine, which is not the name I gave them. After a while I went to the counter to check on my tacos and they were sitting there on the counter. I said are these for Heather? No, Catherine. I said “oh, well my name’s Heather but I did order tacos”. They basically said that yeah, they’ve been sitting there a while and we called Catherine, and here are your tacos. They were stone cold. Again, no apologies for getting the name wrong, no offer to re-fire the order so it was warm. They had been sitting probably 15 minutes or more. So, I had cold tacos for lunch. I hate to write a bad review, but there is definitely room for growth on making things right when they go wrong, which they inevitably will at some point. Too bad.
-The owner reached out and that goes a long way. Will definitely be back to this establishment.
