I'm not much one for sandwiches, but a friend recommended this shop to me. One a day my stomach went on crazy growling mode, I paid Lottie a visit. Entering the shop, you will be greeted by loud music. Be ready for that. You will have the option to dine outside, if the weather provides it and the seats are empty. The hosts are wonderful and very accepting with a positive attitude. Smiles and all. I ordered the Jim because it was the only sandwich I could eat. The majority of the sandwiches contain meat, so I would not recommend this for vegans or pescatarians. Jim was delicious and I consumed both halves of Jim flawlessly. Either hunger overruled me, or the sandwich was that satisfying. I do recommend the shop, but with limited options for non-meat eaters, I truthfully would rate Lottie and Zulas, 4.5. Yet, I don't believe the spot was "good." read more

My tastes are likely just different as the reviews for this place speak for themselves. We had the Jimmy (as a salad). It was too smokier than I imagined but tasty. We also had the Vinny which was fine, a bit spicier than I thought it would be, but I'm a wimp. The service was fine, not overly friendly but adequate. The food is 4 stars, the service 3 starts, but the real bummer was all the plastic. Plastic container, plastic cups and we were eating in. They asked if it was to go and we said no, but everything came in plastic anyway. The ambiance is quintessential Portland, right up until they bring all your food in plastic with plastic silverware to boot. read more

The Ruben is to die for and if you don't eat a lot -- split it. It was such a damn good Sammy I came back the next day for the Mortadella Melt for my trip home. The thought of eating a dry azz Sammy in the airport when this gem was so close wasn't possible. Heaven between bread. Excellent Customer Service too! read more

Very fun atmosphere! The music is a bit loud band it's great. This is your warning to not take your parents here. Anyway great atmosphere and great art and the food was excellent. I am always a fan of a relatively short menu and they are doing this well. The employees I interacted with were very polite and they got stuff done. The menu basically says that they aren't turning the music down and orders generally take 15 minutes so don't be in a hurry when you show up and enjoy the vibe. It's a good vibe. Does saying vibe instead of vibes date me? Not my problem. read more

We had two different sandwiches so we could split them. They cut the sandwiches so we could do that. The food was 10/10. Both sandwiches were excellent ingredients and very tasty. Loved the "science cheese" to reduce food waste. The bread is also very good. The atmosphere is fun to us The service was so good. The person taking the order was very kind answering questions. Would highly recommend. read more

Really charming shop in the Eliot district. It's not on one of the main roads so never ventured out this way but glad we did this time after searching breakfast sandwiches on Yelp. No lot but parking is free in the area and across the library. Upon walking in you get to see the space is decorated with plenty of stickers and a mixture of different types of seating by the window, booths, and shared tables. It has such a vibe with the music too. It was our first time here and came at the cusp of breakfast/lunch so we asked the staff on their recommendations. We had to try their sausage on the bolo roll (thicker roll and recommended by staff vs. muffin) and the travis. Both sandwiches were well portioned and stacked. Loved the bread on both and they were equally filling. We left stuffed. I want to come back to try their bacon on a muffin though! read more

This was the best Rueben I've ever had if the bread wasn't soggier than a sailor's socks in a stormy season. I've seen kid's crafts with more structural integrity than this sandwich. Nice folks; music was so loud it felt like I was at a Phil Collin's concert (I love Tarzan too babe, but that was overstimulating) 7.5/10 - would eat again. read more

These sandwiches are soo unbelievably good! Ugh. I couldn't breathe while they were going down because I wanted them down so bad. I went into an altered state. I got the Ricky Italian and the bread was so crispy and the giardinara was so delicious and they warmed the meat so all the oils mixed together to soften the crispy bread so perfectly. My boyfriend got the Charlie. He begged me to take him out to pasture and shoot him because he could finally die happy, the only thing that changed his mind was the prospect of another sandwich from Lottie and Zulas. Update your emergency contacts before you go here because you might suffocate the sandwiches are so good. Good tunes, superb ambience and staff and best collection of local street art! read more

I've got a problem with the "Ricky" Italian Grinder. Mine was served to me hot. I intentionally ordered something off the menu I thought would be served as a cold sandwich. Maybe that was a lack of understanding on my part, but my logic was: lots of sandwiches were listed as having "melted" cheese, and this one was specifically just "provolone," not "melted provolone". Secondly, this was a sandwich consisting of primarily cured meats. Heating most dried cured meats ruins their flavor profile and turns them greasy; they are usually intended to be eaten cold or room temp. The smell of this thing was pretty telling when I opened it. Like bad BO, and any delicate flavor profiles gone upon tasting. Make your food however you want, but I really think the menu should be clear to customers about what they're getting. Lastly, a minor nitpick: you printed out a bunch of menus and signage and didn't double-check how to spell "giardiniera" (at the time of this review it was "giardinera"). If you want a decent italian grinder in Portland go to Giants NY Pizza and Subs. read more

This place has really good vibes. Kind staff. Delicious sandwiches. We tried the Ricky and the Carl. Both sandwiches were hott and very delicious, packed with flavors. We tried a can beer from Oakshire brewing called Sun made cucumber sour which was delicious! read more

Still loving Lottie & Zulas! Today I got the Charlie, which is a roasted beet and cabbage sandwich, and it was so unique and delicious. I've never had anything like it! It came out steaming hot and so melty. I don't know that I'd order it again because I prefer something with meat and want to try other items on the menu, but it was still really fun to try. The vibe here is so fun too, and service has always been great. read more

This is a funky spot. I loved the ambiance. Dark but lots of art and cool lights and graffiti on the walls. I got the spinach and egg sandwhich on a bolo and it wasn't my favorite. I wouldn't get it again. It felt overpriced at 10$ since it was pretty small. Maybe the other sandwiches are better. read more

This place was awesome, hail Satan. Jokes aside, the food was great, service: friendly, and beer: cold. The place has a punk rock vibe and was playing doom metal Wife and I split a Jon.

Flew into Portland and spotted this little gem as I was aimlessly driving around. Had the breakfast sandwich with sausage. It was a good sandwich and the sausage had solid flavor. I wasn't blown away but it is definitely worth coming back for. I'm sure the coffee here is excellent based on the clientele and reviews but unfortunately I don't drink coffee. The lemonade was good although more tart than I'm accustomed to. Overall, solid food option with a nice atmosphere. I enjoyed all the sticker art on all the tables. read more

They make great sandwiches! My wife and I stumbled upon this place while in North Portland. The menu is quite appealing. Warning: no substitutions. Regardless, there were plenty of good options. They also have side salads, like potato salad, for sale in small and larger containers. The ambiance is gritty by design, with stickers all over the tables, but not really on much else. The wait for the sandwich was longer than I would have expected (10-ish minutes), but the woman who took our order was extremely friendly. Be warned that they play loud music and also have on the menu that they will not turn the music down. The place knows what it wants to be and how it wants to operate, apparently! read more

This is probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. My husband ordered the Manny Ramirez chicken salad grinder for lunch and I shared with him through eating several bites. The combination of flavors and textures through each bite was so pleasing! This sandwich doesn't short you on your share of vegetables and the chicken ratio is 100%! The bread is that crunchy chewy French roll and it is an integral part of this sandwich! The ambiance here is so fun to walk in an order at as well as to sit down and have a quick bite. There is a good amount of seating and staff if friendly and helpful. I wish we had one of these on the east coast! read more

With sooo many great spots, the sandwich scene in PDX is tough. Yet, we recently stumbled another gem and it might just trumped all the other amazing spots we've been. Introducing, Lottie & Zula's. Leave your doom and gloom at the door because Lottie & Zula's is here to bring the fun to your next sandwich. First off, their entire interior is decorated with vibrant and funky stickers of all shapes and sizes! We're so entertained that we almost forgot how hungry we were. Their menu is stacked with delicious-sounding sandwich creations. From classics to crazy. We got a Mortadella Melt and the special Kitchen Sink Grinder to split and boy did we need to split them. These chonkers were big and stuffed with cheesy goodness, well-prepared meats, and a concoction of condiments of your dream. Seriously, the first bite into the Mortadella Melt and this spot became our number one sandwich place. The sourdough was toasted perfectly and every bite was just so dreamy with sweetness from the caramelized onions that paired so well with the fried mortadella and sauces. An out of body experience right here. The Kitchen Grinder was also very tasty. The roll was lightly toasted adding a nice crunch to the crust. Again, it's full of all sort of meat and gooey cheese, refreshed by the shredded cabbage and pickles. Still a solid sandwich but didn't quite blow us away as much as the melt. We love love love everything about this place. From the energy to the food to the people. We're ready to come back the moment we stepped out of the place. Can't recommend them enough! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while because I like the name. I'm not really sure I get the hype. I got the Jon (roast beef). Many much shredduce to beef quantity. A piece of Chex mix fell out of the sandwich- not sure what that's about. I read the description again and nope, not listed on the ingredients. Bread is good. Staff is friendly. I wish I could find a deli with good potato salad. This is not it. The cubed taters aren't quite done enough... I enjoy music but pumping Young Dolph in a white gentrified community feels a lil ick but people seem into it. It's ruhl loud so if you plan on talking to a friend... read more

I love a happy accident! My wife and I were departing Portland after our weekend getaway, and I thought a good traditional deli sandwich for the road was just the thing! So I turned to my trusty Yelp App and Lottie and Zulas popped up. Glancing quickly at the reviews, I had all the information I needed, except..., Lottie and Zulas isn't a "traditional deli." Alas, my burning desire for a run of the mill turkey and Swiss on Rye was not to be. My failure to read carefully led me to the Ethan (FKA Travis) Reuben and it changed my life! Too much? OK, maybe it didn't literally change my life, but it sure made me happy!!!! Best of all, now I know when I'm in Portland, if I want to be happy, Lottie and Zulas will put a smile on my face. read more

A very charming eatery, very Portland. Dig the vinyl. Catchy menu. Person who took our order was friendly. The heralded compact breakfast sandwich was more than decent. The thick-cut flavorful sausage was very dense, hamburger-like. They serve them wrapped to go even if you decide to eat there. A minor turn off is that they charge for a tiny plastic container of hot sauce of what looks like Sriracha. Almost every sitdown/cart provides it complimentary, especially when dining in. The tart limeade definitely woke me up. Parking was easy on a Saturday morning when they first open. read more

Grab a menu at the newspaper box and figure out what you want. You are gonna come back so don't be too decisive. Well thought out sandwiches with fresh ingredients and well executed.

I don't often eat vegetarian, & especially so when it comes to sandwiches but I tried the Charlie (smoked beet melt). I was initially intrigued bc I thought it said smoked beef melt but upon the servers recommendation I went with it and was pleasantly surprised. It's still a bit of beet flavor of course but the slabs are savory & smoky & the right thickness and the warm cheese & sauce make it taste almost meaty. Def the best vegetarian sandwich I've had. They also got some beers to go in cans or you can drink them there. The vibe reminds me of a dive pizza joint, random stickers galore. The sammie was $16 which seems standard today but it was quite huge, I was easily filled w/ half. read more

I absolutely love sandwiches. And Lottie & Zula's is my absolute favorite place to grab one. The space is super cool and funky with awesome/chaotic art collabs all over the walls - which is the perfect backdrop for their eclectic mix of sandwiches. Every sandy on the menu feels like it's been created with love and maximized for flavor. I've had the Reuben and the Steak so far and can't decide which one is my favorite. The bread is fresh to death and they don't overload any ingredient - striking the perfect balance. They've got Pfriem on tap, plus potato salad, pasta salad and tons of flavors of chips. L&Z's is a must for sandwich lovers. read more

Hubby and I were roadtripping and wanted to pick up some sandwiches for the road. I was SO amazed at how delicious the sandwich was! Food - I ordered a Reuben sandwich. The saurkraut and the pickles.. and the meat! So delicious and flavorful. I'm also not sure what kind of bread they used for this sandwich but it was also very delicious. Overall - I don't really crave a sandwich too much and was expecting something average and something to satisfy my hunger, but I ended up getting a mind blowing meal! Service - I called to place the order because we wanted to do take out since we had to stay on the road. They said it was going to be ready in 10 minute, we got there in 10 mins, and the sandwiches were ready to go. They also gave out free stickers! Environment - From what I know, there was only street parking. The interior of the place is super cool. I love the vibe and the art is really amazing. The bathroom was also very cool with the art! Overall - I was really glad I found this place and we checked it out! Would highly recommend if anyone out of state was craving a delicious sandwich. read more
