The exterior of Canteen Lunch in the Alley, a small yellow brick building in Ottumwa, Iowa, with a Coca-Cola sign and a sign indicating it's a landmark founded in 1936.

A building with a sign displaying 'The Lanford LUNCH BOX' and a burger icon, representing the fictional restaurant inspired by the Canteen Lunch.

A loosemeat hamburger, known locally as a 'Canteen,' wrapped in paper, served alongside a glass bottle of Coca-Cola and a spoon on a white table.

A Small Sandwich Shop in Iowa is an inspiration!
