Lunch Box, the ground-floor restaurant that had operated in Jim Deal's office building has officially closed, as of today.
Coming soon to that location: The Kitchen Table
No notice has been posted as to opening date, hours, or menu, but checking after the holiday might prove interesting.
The location is great. The Lunch Box food was good, and the dining area it is not obnoxiously loud like the Mexican food branch in the Coborns shopping area.
For Mexican food, readers should consider Mucho Loco: http://www.mucholocomn.com/
Opinions can differ, but I give it a few more stars than the place in Ramsey Town Center.
Lunch Box had a liquor license, so at a guess Kitchen Table would also; but again, no detailed notice beyond the name and "coming soon" was posted at the site.
__________UPDATE_________
Sammy's in Elk River is closer to much of Ramsey than Sammy's in Coon Rapids. The Elk River location has comparable pizzas and good draft beer choices, as at the Coon Rapids location.
For a good Ramsey restaurant, there is Riostone Cafe. Riostone has a Facebook page, as does Kitchen Table, with the latter posting "We Can't Wait to Pour You a Glass!" So, a liquor license, apparently. Riostone does not have a liquor license but serves great coffee, while being quiet and well lit, not a loud bar with food served too in order to draw more people while making money from the bar.
