When it first opened, “The Box” was a super simple operation. The diner seated just 24 people. The owner, Jerry Massad, cooked while one waitress took orders. Although the restaurant has certainly grown since then, the quality has remained the same.

Each dish comes out piping hot and with hearty portions that are bound to satisfy. Each breakfast and lunch dish is made-from-scratch—the way it should be.

Although The Box is particularly famous for their breakfast food (they’ve been regularly voted “Best Breakfast in Carson City”), there’s another food item this quaint diner is famous for: the Patty Melt.

This simple dish has just three ingredients: toasted bread, gooey cheese, and a perfectly cooked beef patty. However, it’s this combination of classic flavors that makes for a nostalgic and downright delicious lunch. Be sure to get a side of their homemade potato salad to go with it!

Although the interior of the restaurant looks like something from a bygone era, homemade cooking is one of those things that never goes out of style. It’s no wonder this place is so favored among the locals.
