Nice family oriented place to go for a nice American meal. Fair price and good selection. Good job Luke "I am your father" read more

I saw the special for dogs and asked if they could make them a Chicago style. Done and delicious. Best one I've had outside of Chicago area, and better than most of those. Well done Luke's. I might try a gyro next time near area. read more

Wow - this was good food. We were driving through Janesville through the Fast Food corridor, and my wife spotted this place on Yelp. The reviews looked good, so we dropped by. First impressions - big kitchen area, BIG menu, and lots of stuff to look at in the restaurant - the walls are just covered. Plus a big ice cream cooler just inside the door! We were promptly greeted by the staff, but needed a minute figure out what to even order. The menu was extensive. I finally settled on their Turkey Artichoke Melt with french fries, while my wife went for their Lobster Roll. One word: YUM! If this food doesn't hit the spot, your spot is seriously broken. Really. Hot, fresh, good mix of ingredients, and the sandwiches tasted really good. The fries were good as well. The bathrooms were clean and tidy and smelled good. While we were there in the late lunch rush, there was a continuous stream of people either eating in or picking up food. You don't get that unless the food is good. Take a run off the expressway and head west to this place. You'll thank me. read more

See all

Stopped here after picking up my new truck in Janesville. Not super warm & inviting when you enter, a bunch of stuff scribbled on a chalkboard menu. Some of the items weren't real clear what they actually were, so I just ordered a BLT with fries instead of asking questions. The Bill was super cheap under $9 for a sandwich, fries & a 20oz bottle of soda. But the standard crinkle cut fries were ice cold. The did have togo cups for ketchup with a lid which worked out nice, instead of opening 8 packets of ketchup. The BLT was fine but it was mostly mayo, lettuce & tomato. The bacon was paper thin & not abundant The pickle spear was a nice touch. So for under $9 lunch not too bad, since the places I usually eat at in the Chicago burbs this would be $15. Probably better quality in those other places. But heck, you can't even eat at Subway for under $10 anymore read more

The food is great but now that it's winter I hate to eat inside. It very dirty. Also the guy taking the online orders needs an office.

Did Luke's get sold? Quality is way down. For instance BLT came with lettuce tomato and toast that you hadtomake yourself. No bacon came with it. Lobster roll used to be fantastic. Not good tonight. Need an adult to supervise. read more

Luke's catered sandwiches to an event I was recently at. Fiod was pretty good and the portion was very large. I could only eat half. they need to figure out a better way of packaging though. the large plastic containers were ludicrous. read more

It was a Wonderful Deli to work with for larger groups. The GFWC Southern Prairies District Workshop was held in Janesville, WI, and even after the cutoff date for ordering, the deli worked wonders with me to add orders and special orders. At the workshop, the box lunches were a huge success. The envy of the lunch was the Keto Bowl, but with many wonderful comments on the club and the Ceasar wraps using chunks of chicken. They delivered on time and every box lunch was labeled. I will only say, thirty ladies and not one complaint is a Great Luncheon. read more

Got the avocado BLT and the cheese curds = I miiiiight need a few statins now, but at least the food was delicious. Workers were friendly!

Homemade food and the servings are abundant. Service is quick and it has a feeling of a neighborhood Café.

The best sandwiches in the area. You have so many choices and you can get good clean organic food at a very reasonable price

Favorite sandwich place. Wraps, burgers, sandwiches, salads, soup/chili. Fries, curds, chips etc. Really yummy cookies! Seriously. read more

The Keto Salad was fantastic! Chock full of chicken, bacon, eggs and avocado. Super fresh and fast/polite service. Can't wait to try everything else on the menu! read more

People. The lobster rolls are back and even if you don't like this expensive seafood they have plenty of other excellent choices. You won't be disappointed and the trip is worth it. read more

Long time since I've been there staff including owner seems kind of distant if not rude. Good atmosphere

I'm pushing myself to eat locally owned and have driven by this place for years. What caught my attention was the bright red umbrellas in front for outdoor seating. (They also have "side yard seating" that is heavily shaded under a huge oak. I ordered the tuna melt thinking I would eat half and save one for later...we'll THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN! Toasted white bread (bread option would have put it over the top) REAL Cheddar Cheese, Fresh Tomato hugged the tuna salad that had a perfect crunch of celery and onion. The dill weed really gave it a nice POP. It's significantly mayonnaise'd, which is standard for most diner's palate and although I prefer mayo on the lighter side it was OBVIOUSLY not a problem for me. French Fries were hot, fresh and crinkle cut and as a French Fry aficionado you can't get any better. I ordered a "half order" and can't imagine what s full would be like. Crunchy pickle spear didn't even make it out of the wax paper before it landed in my mouth. Super attentive staff, friendly. 4 stars because the tables weren't wiped down and I noticed a "fried food" smell that I eventually got used to, but mostly likely it'll cling to me and I'll smell like a French Fry when I leave. I'll be back! read more

In this world of "shrinkflation" Luke's is not falling into it! We just got their keto bowl. There are other restaurants in the area that portions have gotten smaller. Luke's definitely is not doing that. The keto bowls are very filling and delicious! I have never been disappointed at Luke's. Everything they have is amazing! I love their chili!! Some of the best I've had! I highly recommend Luke's! read more

I have never been disappointed, everything is fresh and quite the serving of fries with your meal The customer service is friendly and delivered with a smile. They have a great lemonade, not sure if it's seasonal or not. I would definitely recommend this little eating spot. read more

Haven't had a bad experience at Luke's. The sandwiches are fantastic. Favorite being the Italian beef with Giardenera and Turkey Melt. They also carry Bill's Lemonade which is perfect on these hot, humid, and long Wisconsin days. With all the chain sandwich shops in Janesville, support a local Deli. read more

I love Luke's. My mother and I eat here often. They have some of the best burgers and wraps I've ever had. They also have excellent malts and shakes. There french fries too are good and come in large portions. I've also had the onion rings. They were good but nothing special. My boyfriend has got the BLT amd says it's pretty good. I can tell the ingrediants are good quality amd they make everything fresh. Nothing I've gotten has ever been low quality. The portion and qualitiy is amazing for the price and the staff are very prompt and friendly. I highlly recommend. read more

Seriously the best. Chicago dogs are amazing. Its easy and fast service with a smile.

This place catered my work places volunteer appreciation week lunch. Sandwich choices were ham or turkey. My co worker ordered one on wheat bread for me and it tasted fresh and good! Made for a great meal! The volunteers enjoyed their sandwiches, chips, and cookie. Go to this place for all sorts of sandwich choices and a variety of other meal options! read more

TURKEY ARTICHOKE MELT! SO. GOOD. Eating at Luke's always feel homey and comfortable, like you're going to a Star Wars loving friends house and they offer to make you food. The food is pretty cheap and always tasty. Usually pretty busy at lunch time, but they work through all the orders quickly. Make sure to check out the place on May 4th for Star Wars day. They roll out all the Star Wars swag. read more

I use to go here for lunch and service was great , food was great as well. Times have changed and not for the better. I ordered a gyro and onion rings, seems to be a simple order. Took over 10 minutes and maybe that would be ok if they had to carve the meet off but they use prepackaged meat, so it just needs to be warmed up. But that doesn't bother me as much as this. During my wait there were 7 high school students and a couple that ordered after me and they received their food before me. I don't know what they ordered but how can 8 orders be filled in the time it took mine? I spoke with the owner and asked him what did I order that took so long that 7 high school students could get their orders before mine, his response was Fried foods are fast. read more

The food was pretty good, although leaving something to be wanted. The drink selection was really good, no fountain, but the bottles are more convenient for carry out. The employees weren't very nice or welcoming though, all of them looked tired and overworked. No hellos, no goodbyes, no sense of welcome ness whatsoever. read more

Turkey club and a vanilla malt please BEST IN THE WORLD! Home made real baked turkey in house like home

As a kid, I loved summer as it meant snow cones at the fair. Fast forward xx years later (yes decades), and now we have shaved ice at Luke's Deli. Holy buckets was that some good, refreshing stuff. As I watched the young lady pile the mound of ice high, at least six inches above the rim of this hybrid bowl/cup thing... I imagined that hard crusty snow cone ice. I felt overwhelmed by it and asked her to make mine a little smaller. Boy do I regret it. The ice was fluffy (yes... I said fluffy) like cotton candy. You could scoop it with a spoon or lick it like an ice cream cone. So much flavor! I got cherry, so did my husband. It was super yummy and honestly, cooled me off after moving furniture in this crazy heat in July. If you're hot and looking for something to cool off with... go to Luke's now! Oh, and their food is even better! I'm a HUGE fan of the Garlic Turkey wrap and their fries. So so so good!! Go now! read more

Nice locally owned place. Really like the bean burgers and fries. Wish the shaved ice trailer was open more.

Found on Yelp and was what looking for at lunch. Interesting menu with creative options for sandwiches. Had the daily special 1/3# Harvest Gouda burger with apple slaw. Was great! Broccoli cheese soup also top notch. Priced right, nice atmosphere and friendly, clean, comfortable. read more

Oh my goodness real turkey on a sandwich is this unheard of ? This about quality and the quantity is amazing . The sandwiches are big. I had their most popular item which was a turkey wrap garlic it was excellent. My buddy had a clubhouse sandwich that looked outrageously good. With real Turkey fresh If I lived here I'd never see a subway again in my life. Aloha Great job to your staff ' read more

We went to Luke's just last week after passing it several times, each time my husband saying "they have great Yelp reviews". Let me say, we got there in the nick of time. We ordered and when we sat down to wait and the line was already about 12 people deep to the front door. Next time we will make sure to get there before 11:30 again. Good sign. I am always hunting for a good Gyro, so that is what I ordered. It was good. The meat was seasoned very well and had a feta cheese sauce instead of a cucumber sauce, but all in all, tasty and a large portion. My husband ordered the Turkey wrap, which was very good too. And you will not find this of their website or their facebook page. A gem only found on their to go menu. "We don't thin slice processed meats. We roast whole turkey's every day and shred them by hand to provide healthy wraps, sandwiches and homemade soups". Very few places take pride in roasting meat, so I would market this fact. The customers were happy, friendly and the environment was pleasant. Will be eating there again. read more

Very nice, local business. Good menu with variety. They have daily soup and custard specials. Cheap prices, newly remodeled. Yummy custard too! read more

Luke's Deli - Delis Near Me - Janesville, Wisconsin

I decided I had to have some deep fried cheese curds, so convinced my sister and husband that we should come check out Luke's, since none of us had been and I knew they did the cheese curds. It was busy when we got there, full of kids from Craig, but we got a booth pretty easily. It was a little expensive - for 2 sandwiches, cheese curds, and 2 drinks, it was nearly $20 - but we both had hot meat sandwiches so it's fair enough. I had the french dip and really enjoyed it - generously filled and full of flavour. The cheese curds were extra delicious too! read more

Found this place here on Yelp. I was looking for a nice, local, hole in the wall place for lunch. Upon entering the diner, I noticed the atmosphere was great. I came in around 3PM, so it was quite and pleasant. I decided to go with the Philly Cheese steak with a side of cheese curds. Both of which were amazing. Lots of flavor, a generous portion for a good price. The food didn't take long either. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars, was when I walked up to the counter to place my order, the cashier who took it didn't seem to happy or friendly. Maybe they were having a bad day, I dunno. But if you're from out of town and looking for a great lunch spot, I recommend Luke's Deli! read more

Luke's Deli - Philly Cheese steak with a side of cheese curds. Very good! - Delis Near Me - Janesville, Wisconsin

We went to Luke's yesterday on the basis of the quality of the Yelp reviews. My wife remembers it when it was Custard's Last Stand, but this was my first time here at all. After eating, we all agreed that we would be back in the future because everything we had was good and there were plenty more things on the diverse menu. I had a chicken cordon bleu sandwich, which was delicious. The only snag was that it held up our order, but the waitress was apologetic about that. The deep fried cheese curds were among the best I've ever had, and my wife's French dip sandwich was simply perfect - loads of meat with a perfect au jus gravy to dip it in. As I said, the menu is quite diverse, and the staff are super friendly. It was quite packed in there early on because of the it being at the local school's lunchtime, but they cleared out pretty quickly. I'll certainly be back when I'm in Janesville in the future, this is certainly one for the repeat list. read more

Stopped here on our road trip to Madison. They make their turkey sandwiches with in-house roasted turkey. The Italian turkey was okay - a little dry. The Philly turkey was better but not anything super special. We ordered a pint if Oreo custard to go. The custard was creamy and delicious, but the Oreo was sprinkled on top rather than mixed in (I prefer a mix-in). Still, not a bad place to stop in the land of chain restaurants. We were sad that the cheese curd place next door was closed. That would have rounded out my Wisconsin experience. read more

Wow! I'm glad I did not have the Kool-Aid at Luke's! For starters the cashier had stains that looked weeks old on his T-Shirt! The place looked dirty as well. Now don't get me wrong. I don't mind a hole in the wall as long as it has good food. This is where Luke's Deli goes completely wrong. Maybe I tried them on a bad day. For a place that brags about roasting it's own turkey, what was served to me was dry and tasteless. Everyone else who had a lunch from there agreed that it just was not very good. I can give one positive though. The cookies were excellent! Hopefully it was just a turkey of a day at Luke's. read more

I love Luke's. They have the best fried cheese curds in Janesville!! Man they are delicious. The batter is just enough - not so hard your jaw gets tired chewing them (like some I've had at other places!!). And I like their pickles, which come with all their sandwiches. Fries are also really good here, but I basically never get them because I can't NOT get the cheese curds! Grilled cheese is good, my favorite is the chicken strips. I had a chicken wrap once, and I was not a big fan of the wrap/tortilla itself, but the rest was great. Also, I like their garlic potato soup!! Crazy delicious, warm and creamy. The only sad thing is that now it's just Luke's Deli - no more custard! Still definitely worth a try. Good value, great tasting food, and local!! And don't forget the cheese curds!!! read more

We love that the place is locally owned. They have unique items on the menu and their own flare. There's outdoor seating during the summer and a lunch bar inside. Good food! read more

Well where do I start, I used to love this place but after this experience it's safe to say I wont be coming back. I ended up getting a stump burger a while back and usually it's one of my favorite things but this time I got 2 bites into it and just about broke my tooth on a pit. Now this wasnt a small piece like youd expect. It's came in at an amazing 3/4 of an inch!! Wow great job guys!! After I took it out and figured it was just a clumsy young kid in a hurry to end his shift. Nope 4th bite in I get another one! It was the other piece of it.as a matter of fact I still have them both and also saved my receipt just to have a record of it. So anybody would usually do after an order was messed up I call to let them know it was in there so nobody else has the same thing happen to them. I call the place up and speak to the manager and assures me I could get a remake. So a couple days later after I get a call to help out at my cousin's skate board shop in California because he lost a couple of his employees to them quiting. I catch the next flight available and fly down the next night. I help him get caught up and help the new hires out to make sure they know the ropes and I head back to good ol Wisconsin. I get back see some friends and they asked what they want i would like to eat. I say immediately say Luke's, nothing beats a good local restaurant that's for sure. Well I didn't get rich helping my cousin in Cali and didnt have much cash so I remembered I had the receipt from a while ago. Nice! That would be a nice warm welcome back meal after a longtime away from home. So I call them up and tell them my name, they look it up and ask what I ordered I said the stump burger. "We dont have that anymore" ok fine. Then she asked how long ago. I said it was a while ago because I wasnt in the area. She replies " well if I was that long ago I cant help you" "we could only help you if it was the next day or so" I explained that it was not a fun experience biting into 2 pits and despite the bad experience I still chose to come back. She says " yea, I cant do anything for you" I've never been treated with such disrespect and just pushed off as someone who didnt matter. So this long story I just wanted any new or returning customer to know. So the next time family or friends or anybody asks what's a good place to eat, I can guarantee Luke's will never be a restaurant I'd recommend. read more
