Lunchbox Laboratory was a quirky burgers-and-shakes restaurant in downtown Bellevue on 112th Avenue NE, part of a small Seattle-area group famous for inventive, oversized burgers built from house-ground meat blends and elaborate toppings.

The restaurant developed a cult following for its 'mad scientist' approach to burgers, hand-spun milkshakes and bold flavor combinations, served in a playful, laboratory-themed space.

The Bellevue location closed permanently in early 2024, ending its run as one of downtown Bellevue's more distinctive casual dining spots.
