This is such a fun place to go after a game or for a quick family lunch. There's a good variety of food, from Deli to Mexican and some surprises, all of it tasty. Bob Lutticken is a local treasure. He sponsors Little League Teams on both the east and west sides of town, and hosts an annual competition of the two teams with a BBQ afterwards. The people that work there make everything fresh and responsive about special orders. It's way better than a typical deli. read more

It's a nice friendly place a bit off the beaten path, but its quite reasonable. We came for comedy night.

My husband and I tried this place last night when we originally wanted to eat at the Dutch Goose but it was too packed. We were pleasantly surprised! It was very crowded but inside is really pleasant - think wine bar type seating. The owner Bob greeted us and waited on us. He was fantastic. The food was great - its very casual - salads, appetizers, salads, pizzas, etc. I had the wedge salad and tri trip sliders with horseradish/sour cream topping - they were wonderful! My husband had the caprese salad (done with little cherry tomatoes and bocconi mozzarella - very cute) and had the reuben and meatball sliders - he loved both as well. We didn't try it out because it was a little on the chilly side, but it looks like there is a nice patio outside too. read more

BEST SANDWICH EVER! My favorite lunch in Silicon Valley is Lutticken's. Their sandwiches are ideal for lunch when I am hungry, in a hurry, and need something to get me through the day. Always perfect ingredients made just the way I like it. I love sandwiches and they do it right. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Super annoyed... just called to place an order for a pickup and I'm halfway through the order when the guy on the other end tells me that they're having a party and they can't take phone orders. That would have been nice to know at the beginning of the phone call instead of making me tell you the whole order and then letting me know. read more

The Stanford shop is not good. First they can't find my order ahead order and I have to wait 10 minutes and then sandwiches are soggy. Would not recommend read more

This place is truly amazing. Try asking someone to make you a shrimp loui salad without a shrimp. They will lol but Lutticken's server smiled and created a masterpiece with chicken. Rost Beef sandwich on the roll is so big, that we fed an adult and a kid with it. Really friendly service to whcih is rarity now days. read more

I had my doubts, but the new After 5 use of this old coffee/deli place is a good thing. The new decor is friendly - sofas to bar stools, a little fake fireplace and hip wood flooring. The new menu is interesting and varied and decent wine list. We have been 6 times now and enjoyed the food, the people and the setting. Lots of locals. Just the thing going or coming from Stanford activities. read more

My only problem with "owner Bob" is that even on "spare the air" days...he keeps that fire in the fireplace burning! Robert Krohn read more

Ate or tried to eat there on Sunday 3/4 and had a pretty bad experience. After waiting in line for over 15 min, I finally ordered a pretty simple sandwich of Smoked Turkey. They did not put any of the condiments on and the turkey was processed, paper thing and unedible. Took two bites and threw it way! For $6.75 you can head to Safeway around the corner on Woodside Rd. and get a made to order sandwich that is 100% better for $4.99! Will NEVER return to this place! Would give it ZERO stars if I could! read more

You have to know what to order here, some deli meats are much fresher than others, I would reccommend the home-roasted turkey. Other than that there is really only one reason Luttickens gets 5 stars: Jalapeno Bacon. Order it. read more

Here's another straight forward review of a local business, So the one thing I like is roasted turkey IN Dutch crunch bread, loaded, I'm VERY picky about this sandwich, Anna was the server on Saturday and on a Sunday and Judy was on a Tuesday both took and personally made my order and got it right, now on 3 separate occasions between December and January around lunch time, , WOW! It's was easy service and I was not ever mistreated by any staff nor have I ever seen or heard of any problems I'm very suspicious of these targeted negs in some other reviews, Folks who follow and know me understand that I can be very critical when visiting a business and expect some respect and hopefully a speck of friendliness, but mostly a product that's advertised, this exceeded it every time. Now this may be an import interest to others, in that they are in high demand, and twice I saw presidential s come to eat there when in town, now that's cool! The restrooms are clean and updated. lighting is good, and the temperature was comfortable. the Prices very fair to me, tips avg, 18% from me (in a jar). Should I experience anything different ill redo the review to reflect that but as of this writing OUTSTANDING highly recommended! Enjoy! My next review will be a dinner at Main and Elm restaurant in Redwood city , c ya! read more

Awesome deli, great family who owns it, yummy sandwiches and really great drinks. Recently upgraded and looking so good.

This place could be so great and neighborhoody. But instead of doing a few things really well, it tries to be 8-10 things all at once and falls flat on all. Breakfast, lunch, wine bar, sandwiches, burritos, and other hot items are too many things to try to produce at once. The people who work there seem confused and beleaguered. The food is wildly inconsistent. The atmosphere is sometimes comfortable and sometimes I wonder if they just want the customers to leave. I wish they'd do better. read more

We live nearby and keep going back with the hope that it will improve. Now I'm ready to give up. 4 times out of the last 5 times I've ordered coffee the cream or half/half was sour. The first two times I didn't realize it until I poured the cream into the coffee and it curdled. The third time I ask to sniff the cream first and sure enough it was sour. The staff claimed it was fresh that day but it was clearly bad. Today I knew to try to cream before adding it and again it was sour. They offered another container and it was also sour. I decided not to eat lunch there and just walked out. It could be a good place and the service in the evening is better, but I won't be going there before sundown again - or maybe just never again. Bob please do something about this. read more

sandwich had absolutely no flavor! the 2 boys working we super unhelpful. paid the one not making the sandwich and when the one making the food gave it to us essentially accused us of not paying. really? one last complaint is there was barely any meat on the sandwich. fail... read more

So disappointed after all the good reviews. I ordered a sandwich platter with salad and assorted desserts for a meeting. The sandwich tray looked awful like it had just been thrown together. They put so many tomatoes on each one that the bread was soggy by the time it got here. I had to rearrange the tray to make it look nice. The pasta salad was good and the desert tray was very small but tasty. Nothing special about these sandwiches, very plain with packets of mayo and mustard on the side (tacky). Togo's does a better job with sandwich trays than this place and for much less. read more

This Local sandwich shop is too dark, unorganised and the food does not have any taste. Do not waste your money and time at this restaurant.

I can't believe how bad this place is. I live nearby and want to like it especially after consistently great experiences with the Lutticken's at Stanford. About once a year my family and I give it another shot and quickly remember why we avoid it. Bad ingredients with poor preparation: e.g., a BLT with one piece of bacon and one half tomato slice with a ton of shredded lettuce on a sorry piece of wonder bread. read more

Terrible service and health code violations. Need I say more? Okay... My office placed a pickup order through Yelp, which apparently gets faxed to them. 15-20 min after placing the order, I arrive. Tiny parking lot and all street parking is full. Okay, I park in the lot of an adjacent business--I figure it's just a pick-up, I'll be in and out in a minute. Famous last words. When I get inside, I go directly to the register. Another customer who's just gotten his food walks up right before me. The two of us stand there waiting for over 5 minutes. Time just ticks away while customers pile up at the register, and not one of the 4 people working the counter bothers to come over and ring us up, or even acknowledge that we're waiting. When someone finally comes over, no apology. I make it to the front of the line, and ask for my pick up order. Blank stares. I explain that the order was placed through Yelp. They seem confused as to what that means. Instead of checking their fax, they have me call the office to ask the person who placed the order about it. After doing so, when I can finally grab their attention again, I explain that someone from the office is calling to give them the order details again. The phone rings in the background. The woman at the counter tells me, Okay, but we can't answer the phone while there are people waiting to be served at the counter. Are you kidding me? I'M waiting at the counter, I've been waiting for almost 20min, and I shouldn't have had to wait at all. My coworker has to call back multiple times before they finally answer the phone and take the order. Then they are slow making it. It turns out that they didn't get the order because their fax machine was out of toner, and they didn't check or notice to fix it. I ended up waiting about 30min altogether, and the staff did absolutely nothing for me--didn't even offer me a glass of water while I waited, or apologize. In the end the sandwiches were fine but way overpriced, and the fries were greasy and soggy. And while I was standing around forever, I had time to see at least one of the staff take a payment and then go back to handling food without washing her hands. On top of that, out of the 4 people preparing food, only one was wearing a hat--the rest had no hairnet or head-covering at all. Both of these are violations of the health code. And BTW, all the health code problems and rudeness were perpetrated by three older people, not the teens many of these reviews complain about. read more

I've been here a handful of times and am always sorry I came. Sandwich ingredients never taste fresh, the high school students behind the counter don't seem to know how to put together a sandwich, and the inside of the restaurant is consistently grungy. The proportions of the items on the sandwich are always off--too little cheese, too much lettuce, too much mustard or way too little. For a much better lunch, try any of the other options nearby. read more

Wow Luttikens you're really blowing it. Husband and I came in this afternoon to get some tasty sandwiches for dinner ...very long day and did not want to cook! I've had their chicken salad sandwich before and it was fabulous. So we arrive to an almost completely empty Luttikens and immediately have 3 kids line up in front of us to take our order...no pressure at all. Anyway, I proceed to order my chicken salad sandwich on sliced wheat....nope they are out of wheat...and multi grain...and anything but white bread apparently. Oooook....fine...I take it on white bread. My husband orders his sandwich on a soft roll....nope...no rolls of any kind left except a supermarket bag of hoagie rolls used for their hot dogs or a thin baguette. So my husband gives up and says...let's just go to Woodside Deli...but no...I'm obsessed now with having my chicken salad sandwich. So he waits while they make my chicken salad sandwich...sweet kid brings the finished product to the counter within 1 minute and says "here you go" and proceeds to walk away...he then picks up his own lunch and goes to one of the tables to eat it. So now I stare down at my sandwich that looks about as thin as that baguette they previously held up for my husband and nobody is ringing us up for the sandwich. My husband suggests we just walk out...but now I'm in full on stubborn "I WILL get my chicken salad sandwich!" mode and insist that we wait. Wait we did...and finally one of the other kids rings me up. Fast forward a few hours.....I just ate an onion and lettuce sandwich on white bread with about 2 tablespoons of chicken salad to garnish it. SO disappointed and now drooling at the sight of my husbands fare from Woodside Deli...... read more

been here twice at nighttime. the first time i ordered a quesadilla, which was the worst one i have ever had. it had marks as if it had been 'grilled' on a panini grill, but it clearly was heated in a microwave. inedible. the second time i was there, i had some kind of thai salad/wrap, which consisted quite literally of iceburg lettuce with chopped lunch meat on top. a man at the next table, who i did not know, took one look at my plate and stated; "are you going to eat that cat food?" - yes, this really happened. the owners either do not have a clue about food or don't care, or both. forget about getting anything local/organic or sustainable. this place is stuck in the 80's. read more

It's ok. Not bad, nothing great either. It has its regulars, but unless you work or live close they're not serving anything you can't get at a Safeway deli. read more

Well I've been to Lutticken's over the last 20 years and have really loved the place. However the last couple of times we've been, the service and food have been really poor. The first time the person making the sandwich cut the bread first and then put on all the meat and condiments after so the sandwich couldn't be pulled apart but also didn't hold together. This time the two young guys working could barely makes sandwiches. I applaud the approach of hiring local teenagers to work but there needs to some better training so the customer also benefits. read more

Went in for a pretty basic sandwich, prosciutto & Jack cheese, mayo, mustard, lettuce and onion on Dutch crunch. They didn't have Dutch crunch so I opted for a sourdough roll. Bad call. The bread was very stale and completely ruined the sandwich. I added more mayo when I got home to try and make up for how dry the bread was but it didn't help. Plus the sandwich just had a really boring taste, overall. There wasn't much meat in it and I usually think there's too much meat in deli sandwiches. Forced myself to eat half the sandwich and tried to pass off the other half to someone else. They added more mustard, took a couple bites and threw it away. You just can't have a good sandwich without good bread, in my opinion. read more

Ordered ahead on Eat24 and the sandwich was there but it wasn't grilled so I had to ask them to fix that. And even then it wasn't hot, just kind of warmed up. Two guys behind the counter near the kitchen kept talking with one another after I walked in and they called the only other girl working there to come help me rather than asking what they could do for me. The inside of the place was nice but it felt a little over priced for a pretty basic sandwich I could've made at home. read more

This place is so much nicer inside after the remodel. It is a great place to have a coffee, soda, etc. They really did a great job on the interior upgrades. Unfortunately, they overlooked the food...which is terrible. read more

was excited to try the upgraded Lutticken's After 5 last night for dinner and was not pleased with the food at all. The new remodel is wonderful and our server was very friendly but neither my husband or I liked what we ordered. Had Onion Petals first and they were very good but could have had more for the price. For main course I had the BBQ port sliders - they were cold and the bread was was just weird. I just eat the meat from the inside. Coleslaw was yummy. Hubbie ordered a pizza and when it came to the table about 10 mins after my sliders, it just looked like a single size frozen pizza. I took a bite of one slice and really have to admit it tasted really strange, cheddar cheese should not be allowed on a pizza. We left and as we walked back home were both we just astonished and disappointed at the bad quality of the food. read more

Where shall I start? First of all, I haven't bought a sandwich here for a few years but it was obvious that this place has changed hands. The sandwiches are still overpriced but even more so now. If my memory serves me correctly, the meat used to be piled pretty high. Now you're lucky if it get's close to 1/4 inch high. The dutch crunch I got was stale and should not have even been offered. The least they could have done was to offer to toast it. I had coppa and there was hardly any meat in the sandwich. I bought coffee and two of the disnpensers were empty. You would think they would have checked it. Cream was available in those little hard to open dispensers. I hate those little things. They each contain barely a tsp. of cream and they are not cheap. Just by a 1/2 gal of 1/2 and 1/2 at Costco and put it in one of those insulated decanters. Anyway, I was motivated to go to Luttickens because I had a $5 coupon from my Entertainment book. A turkey avocado on sliced french, a coppa on dutch crunch, a sm. bag of chips and a coffee ran $17.23. So $12.23 was the cost after using the coupon. Take my advice. If you're in the area, go about a 1/4 mile north on the Alameda and stop in at the Country Corner. Their sandwiches actually have some meat, the bread is fresh, the cost is almost two bucks less and they have coffee and plenty of 1/2 & 1/2 dispensed from a large decanter. read more

Love this place! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, delicious sandwiches. Definitely have to try the Dutch Crunch bread.

Great deli. Friendly and relaxing. Clean with air conditioning. WiFi is available. Good food. I had a nice chef's salad. Easy parking. I will be back. read more

The BEST place to get a sandwich in Menlo Park! The ingredients are fresh and delicious, the portions generous and the prices extremely reasonable. Co-owners Bob and Judy make everyone feel welcome and are true members of the community, employing kids from several local high schools to work behind the counters. I eat lunch at Lutticken's every opportunity I have - the home-roasted turkey with Jack and avocado on a Dutch Crunch roll is fantastic and a personal favorite, but I've never been disappointed, whatever I ordered. This is the kind of place every town should have. read more

We have lived 2 streets away from Luttickens for 7 years now and have wondered how they are still open. After going to to lunch one time(2003), we were disgusted how dirty and unkempt the kitchen area was. I have been in the resturant/hospital business for over 25 years now and am totally surprised they are still open from a sanitation point of view. read more

Lutticken's makes great sandwiches for lunch and is now open for light dinners 5 pm to 9 pm (I'm not sure if it's every day of the week). We've had dinner there twice and can recommend the lettuce wedge salad, the chicken wings and the ribs. The ice cream brownie sundae was wonderful. Best of all may be the selection of wine and beer. This is much more adult the LuLu's (next door) and I expect we will become regulars for quick but very good dinners with a great glass of wine. read more

I wanted to like this place, because I like places with character. It reminded me of Clerks when I walked in, which, to me, is a good thing. My sandwich was pretty decent until I noticed... there was a hair in it. And not the good kind (if there is a good kind). I will never step foot in there again and am really grossed out to even think about it. BLECH. read more

Great sandwiches, casual atmosphere. Outside seating is great during summer months. Friendly, young staff. One guy, named Jack, is very funny and makes a damn good sandwich! read more

I want to like this place--it got remodeled, is a local business....unfortunately they really need to figure out their service. It's not clear who's responsible for what or how things are supposed to run, and as a result you sit there for a long while. I wish I could say the food made up for it, but it's just okay. Nothing special. The cheese plate is pretty big for the price, I guess. read more

Nice little combination dele, coffee shop & restaurant. I stopped by once and had a great sandwich for lunch. Very good. I came back another time and it was competely different in the evening. They change it from a deli type to a seated and served restaurant during the evening. Interesting and unexpected. I'd give them a better score, but there aren't any easily accessible restrooms to wash up. read more
