Box Lunch Truro

This place is great! First time here, and it was an all-around awesome experience.
Reasonably priced and good portions! Short wait time coupled with personable conversation.
We ordered breakfast and will certainly be back to check out the lunch offerings.
It's easy to see why this spot has been around as long as it has - a real Truro gem!

Writing this as I'm finishing my lobster roll- delicious cold lobster on buttered brioche.
One of the best I've had.
Husband got a hobo egg sandwich equally great.
Service super friendly, cute store with lots of snacks and drinks.
Good coffee.
Check this place out!

Food was mediocre, but the service was so poor.
A middle-aged guy, who could’ve been the owner, took our order.
Did not ask if we wanted a wrap or panini, so we all got wraps, though none of us wanted that.
Basically the fillings were just microwaved half-way and still cold.
The cheese wasn’t even melted in a chicken parm.
When I ordered a grilled cheese for my kid, he pretended to not understand what that was until I finally said “the Boring”.
Like - you don’t know what a grilled cheese is? Finally we asked about how long so we could wait outside and he said “I don’t know” in a rude manner.
We had heard him tell someone else 20 min, so we asked if it would be about that and he said “yeah, if you’re lucky”.
Like why? Go home if you can’t human.
We will never go to any of their locations in the future after that introduction. Edit to add after owner response - we were extremely patient.
We asked how long it would take in a very friendly manner so we would know when to come back inside and pick up the food as we didn’t want to crowd the small space for others.
This response just confirms that it wasn’t a single bad interaction, but more of an ongoing personality trait.
