To say I was excited to go to lunch was an understatement. I've literally been obsessed with the instagram page for a really long time especially after reading one of the articles. I've been apart of the restaurant industry for years and going to a culinary university for a long time now... and I feel like I just don't see many places with the constant creativity Mallory and her team produce. Farm to table is just an excellent value to have in general, but the impact of culture is felt here especially.The ambiance and environment of the place is welcoming. The section for local crafts, branded lunch t-shirts and other artisan goods is adorable.I went twice, getting a braised lamb open faced sandwich, ribollita (bean soup, tomato broth) and a cookie. It was delicious. Second time I went we got the Chicken Pot Pie- literally so good. It was a crisp, a flakey crust with savory chunks of chicken. Best pot pie I've ever had.So yes, I loved it. Great job. 10/10.

It's a little pricey in my opinion, but totally worth it for the quality of the food, outstanding service, and lovely atmosphere.

Going to Lunch is like going to the cool kid's house when you were little. They have the best desserts & snacks. They make meals your parents couldn't dream of concocting. And the homey atmosphere is charming & clean, welcoming you into a room full of details to explore.The attention to serving fresh, local food is unmatched - the menu changes every week. Every. damn. week. Very impressed by the creativity & planning that goes into preparing that menu - you can never get bored because you won't eat the same thing twice. Don't miss the garden surrounding the building.I made the trip from New York City to check it out & couldn't be more impressed. No five star restaurant compares to the care & love that went into Lunch. The fresh pastries are unmatched. The market has curated products to die for. The merch is top-notch.Staff was extremely accommodating & welcoming. Head chef & creator, Mallory, has created a delightful restaurant with irresistible food.Don't walk, run.Vegetarian options: I got my veggies for the week packed into my meal. So many healthy options loaded with fresh veg.

Amazing mushroom bowl and tomato sandwich for lunch. Chai latte was tasty and we took home dessert for later. Will definitely be back!

This little town is so beyond lucky to have a restaurant like Lunch. Not only can you get nutritious, locally produced food, but it is cooked by a super talented chef and group of folks. Love the community style dining. It is very Sewanee. The gifts they sell are curated to perfection. We would eat here daily if we could. Thank you for being you, Lunch!

The food was very good. We met family there and didn't know anything about the restaurant, so it was not a great choice for comfortable dining and catching up. The beverages were outstanding, and so were the desserts. There are 4 tables with uncomfortable chairs, but those cookies made up for it. I'd definitely get food to go next time.

Simple but sophisticated menu. Love their take on the classic grill cheese sandwich. Great little bakery as well!

Lunch is like a friend you really want to like but as you get to know them- you realize it’s not going to happen.Atmosphere is A plus.Menu was great- but execution was lacking. Overall food was just meh. And super pricey.Go for coffee and a pastry.
