Johnny's Lunch Box may be next landmark to close

Johnny's Lunch Box may be the next legendary Oklahoma City site facing an uncertain future.

The restaurant, which dates back to 1929, is a favorite among legislators, city council members, mayors, business executives and the many construction workers rebuilding downtown.

“You can get vegetables there, you can get a balanced meal,” said former Mayor Kirk Humphreys, one of the many regulars at the Lunch Box. “It's quick, and I love the atmosphere.”

It's a place, Humphreys noted, where a long table is reserved for veteran patrons.
