Little Red Lunch Box

Came on a Saturday morning in June 2022. The restaurant is closed. Possibly renovating.

Abysmal service. Waitstaff stands in back and talks amongst themselves. No bathroom we could see. Very grimey. Don't know how they pass inspection. Can of paint stored out in dining room. Chicken sandwich cooked to death. If you order carry out it is 50 cents extra per meal. Wow. Will never return.

Homemade biscuits and sausage gravy!! Sloppy joes with Sue's secret recipe!! The burgers!!

Best little diner I've been to on a long time. People are friendly and Susan's great cook. Lots of homemade food and plenty of it. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

I needed a quick place for lunch in Albion. After seeing a lot of fast food choices, I discovered the Little Red Lunch Box closeby. This is a home-cooking breakfast and burgers diner dive! It is small with the only seating available is a counter and in the other room, you can see the owner, Sue, cooking as fast as she can! She stayed superbusy with dining and several carry-out orders on a Saturday. This was a memorable place to dine for me for several reasons. 1. Her grandchild which was about 8 years old took my order after I had sat there for about 5 minutes. Why? Because it seems like Sue is the only cook and she keeps her grandkids to help. There was a teenager that was helping her but he was pretty busy too. 2. Her younger grandchild kept getting in the way of the small lane between the counter and kitchen which led to many getting chewed out moments for the youngster. 3. I loved the way Sue talked! She was sassy and had a strong accent. She also took real good care of me! I told her the ketchup tasted kind of bad and she came and wiped it right off my plate! Haha She also told me she loved the way I talked (Alabama accent)! 4. People sitting around the counter started talking to me about Alabama football in Michigan, which led to a debate about the current status of college football during COVID. 5. The burger was an excellent homestyle burger. I think it was called the wildcat and had fried onion rings with BBQ sauce and cheese. I had potato wedges, which was a baked potato sliced into logs and lightly fried. If you are in the Albion area and have a hankering for breakfast or a home-style burger, you need to stop in and see Sue!
