Great place. Always fresh. Mike, the owner has an uncanny memory for names. He treats all his customers like family.

On a road trip from Texas to NC, we were sick of fast food, so I looked up a quick deli and Express Lunch was suggested. I am so glad that we took that suggestion because it was just what we were looking for! "Hi new best friends!" was our greeting as soon as we entered. They took the time to ask us how we were and where we were from. While we ate, it seemed like the staff knew everyone by name. It was evident the owners care about customers and customer service. My husband opted for the pre-made sandwich with chips and while we were in a hurry I wanted to try the Reuben. It was brought to me as soon as we got to the table- so go ahead and try a grilled sandwich option- either way is express! While we were eating, staff was stocking, cleaning and keeping busy. Definitely has that "new restaurant" feel for a place that seems to have been around for years!

I've been in Crossville for 3 years now, and I finally got around to trying Express Lunch. It did not disappoint. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and asked if we've ever been there before, and we were then told about the days specials. We ordered and got our food quickly. It was hot and very delicious. All in all, a very good nice place. Very clean and bright, great food, great service, reasonable prices, & quick service.

Found this little gem on Yelp and decided yo give it a try. After all, it was called express lunch. It was express with fresh, delicious products served by the nicest folks. I ordered a cup of tomato basil soup and an egg salad sandwich. It was delivered in under a minute time and was delicious! I highly recommend this place for not only the food, but to see the staff interact with every customer. I almost got my irder to go until I decided to stay and eat. It was a breath of fresh air! Very clean establishment and friendly welcoming environment!
