Found this hole-in-the-wall joint on a walk. The steady stream of locals in and out was the first good sign! The sandwiches are so tasty and worth the wait. They have gluten free options, soft drinks (no beer/wine), and plenty of side options. It’s hard to find an authentic sandwich shop anymore - 10/10 would go back!

Very happy to find “the Lunch Spot”! Tables inside and out, hidden a bit in industrial park with limited parking but so worth it! Cubano panini was outstanding and the Turkey Ranch my wife said was one of best she has had.

Absolutely phenomenal- got the egg salad and #13 (the hottie) both of which were amazing. Came here for a quick bite based on google reviews and the reviews didn’t lie! Would absolutely come back if we had more time!

I love to find out of the way, non chain lunch places when on business. The lunch spot is of those locations. Inside is small, with chalkboard menus for sandwiches, breakfast and salads. There are some tables both inside and outside. Being greeted upon entry is a nice touch and made me feel acknowledged, even though it was busy. When I made my order I was asked if I wanted sweet tea or plain. Another sign of good customer service. I had the #14 which is (was) a chicken salad sandwich on squaw bread. It tasted great. The candied nuts added great texture and flavor to the filling. As I waited for my to go order, I saw the sandwich preparers engaging with regulars on a first name basis. I love that. Nothing slowed the preparation of the sandwiches in any way. As I waited, I was asked what order I had and that it was coming soon. They apologized for being busy which was not necessary. I felt that service was just great. One drawback to the location is the parking. I had to park down the street about a block. Trust me, it was worth it.

Really enjoyed the sandwiches and the service. Staff are always very kind even though they get really busy around lunch. Meat and veggies are very fresh. They also have gluten free bread which is a huge plus for me!

Fanatic! Quality ingredients combined with balanced combinations. Wish I lived in town so I could eat here all the time!!!

I was first a little bit hesitant to eat here because of its location, in a fully commercial area, and it didn't look like a restaurant might be there, but I am glad I decided to grab lunch here regardless. Food is excellent, very fresh and delicious. Salad with avocado and added chicken with cilantro dressing was so good, loaded with the freshest ingredients. Tuna melt sandwich on a sourdough bread was good too. Friendly service and reasonable pricing is u plus. Highly recommend despite its location!

Great!! Wouldn't think from the outside but it was great. Got the veggie and a turkey on sqaw.

Had their soup and a sandwich. The soup was barely warm but tasty. Their sandwich was heavy with mayonnaise, could barely taste the meat. Their service was excellent. But the prices were a bit high. Soup, sandwich and soda $24. Like the outdoor seating option.

Seriously good sandwiches. The Goodfella is so tasty. The strawberry sunflower salad was incredibly flavorful.

Very good . It's a small (and cute) sandwich shop located in a bustling industrial area that probably caters to the local auto shops nearby. Though it can be a little noisy - Don't let that deter you as their sandwiches are indeed delicious. I had the special which was pot roast melt. I LOVE that they have Gluten Free bread available! Saves me the awkward conversation of ordering a sandwich with no bread. The staff (owners?) are very welcoming and clearly care about the quality of food. They checked in several times to make sure we were happy... and we were! Will go again.

I think it's one of the best places in town for a lovely sandwich and a very friendly atmosphere
