Really quaint little place in Menlo Park - visiting here and needed a quick bite for dinner. Service was really great, had a couple TV's with playoff games on too, although it definitely isn't a sports bar. Had caprese salad and Italian panini - really tasty, fresh good basil and mozzarella. panini had really great cuts of meat and tasty cheese. recently got draft beer - had 4 on tap. Best of all this place is really well priced. app, entre, and a beer, + tax/tip was about $20 - definitely awesome! read more

Excellent service and was a terrific place to hold a large event. Solid selection of house wine and beer and then we had a wonderful taco bar. read more

I had some great pasta salad, I had a great shrimp and avocado sandwich and even a Hawaiian sandwich. The Hawaiian was hella random I didn't know what to expect . Idk I see something random and I've gotta try it. It was really really good. All the food was really really good. I haven't been here in awhile an I really love what they've done to the place. They even have a fireplace which is perfect for taking dates here. The staff is great here too. They have karaoke here every Wednesday with the special legendary kj Anthony A.k.a Mr Sex. Karaoke here starts around 7pm which is great for hitting up other spots after. This guy has music running through his veins . Its a cool great location. Its a family type of vibe soo no singing about bumping and grinding or stroking but there's plenty of good times. I sang a lil weird Al last time I was here. I dig it man, the parking around here is excellent also. I hope this place stays around as long as I am still around on this Earth with air in my lungs. read more

Interesting ,clean and close by. The hired help is new and not particularly efficient. Can take up to a half hour to get served. read more

Great food as drinks, great atmosphere, they're adhering to all the covid guidelines. A great spot to relax after work.

Lotta photos of young children in the bathroom, but it's not weird. Love their Sandos and staff.

Went for lunch. Arrived at about 1130 11:45. The place was pretty empty so we decided to sit inside. Ordered food, Asian salad, mediocre at best. Fajita wrap burrito. Again mediocre. I asked to have the door opened, because of Covid. None of the staff was willing to open the door To let in fresh air. I asked twice. By the time we left the place was very crowded. read more

Pretty good food. Yelp reminded me to add the review, unfortunately I don't know the details of my order or my experience there. All I remember was that I wouldn't mind going back. read more

good food at a reasonable price, in a relaxed atmosphere ...in fact I don't think they have raised prices in 3 or more years

So many options! You can pick a sandwich, any kind of salad (huge chinese chicken salad, etc), burrito, wrap, packed food (goldfish, milano cookies, etc), ice cream, beverages (sodas, snapples, etc etc), beer, or whatever else you might want. The dutch crunch bread is super thick and really delicious. There are so many options for sandwich meat too and some of it they'll slice on the big meat slicer right in front of you. I love the sandwiches and also the salads. I basically grew up at this sandwich joint and you really can't go wrong with Lutticken's! The prices are pretty good too! You can sit inside or at outside tables along the Alameda. The wait usually isn't too long and you can usually find parking even during the busier weekend lunch times. Try it! read more

We came in here late on a Thursday night and the service was AWESOME!!! The food was good too! We really enjoyed this place. Casual atmosphere, a tv for popular games that are on. Excellent wine list...good choices, fair prices. Cam was our server and he was quick, kind, helpful and made us feel right at home! Can't wait to go back to the neighborhood gem! read more

Great deli sandwiches! The couple that runs this place (for the last 30 plus years) are so nice. I came at lunch during Covid and enjoyed their outdoor seating. Next time I'm in the area, I'll visit for their after 5pm cafe menu. Menlo Park has changed dramatically over the last 20 years... it's nice to see some of the longtime business are still operating. read more

Great family run deli which has been in the same location making sandwiches for over 15 years. Over time their menu has expanded beyond just sandwiches and I've noticed they now have an extensive burrito menu. In the summer, they also bring out a grill and serve BBQ. Inside you'll find plenty of tables, and a huge selection of cold drinks, chips, cookies, and a fully stocked ice cream case. They open early on the weekdays at 7am for the early birds who want to grab breakfast and a bit later on the weekends (10am on Sunday). Their sandwiches are great, I especially like their dutch crunch bread. Today we tried the Lutticken's sub which was piled high with a few different types of meat (roast beef, turkey, american cheese, and lots of fresh veggies). It dwarfed my Corned beef on Dutch crunch and was only $0.50 more. If you want to save some money, you can print out a 2-for-1 coupon on the Entertainment.com website making this an even better deal. http://eol.entertainment.com/?locKey=07301939073RED00066584EPC00497999PRD00000001&partner=ls05&zipCode=94025 read more

See all

I was in the area for a business meeting. I like this place. Nice casual vibe inside with a mixture of counter seating and living room style seating. I ordered the Hawaiian panini and my friend had the bacon cheeseburger. The Hawaiian had ham, cheese and this funky spicy pineapple salsa which made it taste really good. Loved the free Wi-Fi. Would come again and get a beer with that sandwich! Around 3:30 the strangest thing happened. A bunch of middle school boys came in and were buying sandwiches and sodas. Then they hung out on the couches and ate the free candy. Super cute. read more

Lutticken's - Free parking spots!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Menlo Park, California

Walked in and walked out. Rude lady behind the counter. 1p lunch hour, zero people inside, and she had a pissed off attitude. She was really rude. Plus the Menu didn't look appetizing at all. Do yourself a favor and just walk across the street to LuLu's or the Dutch Goose. read more

Lutticken's has been one of my favorite deli's since I was a kid. Nothing is better than a turkey sandwhich on fresh dutch crunch bread with everything...including extra pickles and shredded lettuce. The owner is super cool and has a great personality. He used to give me my brother free donut holes as kids when we would order sanwhichs in the morning before school for lunch. Since then they have added new outdoor seating with covered umbrellas. This is a great place for a fresh sandwhich for lunch. I try to go back everytime I'm at home and would give anything to have a Lutticken's type place near me down in Orange County. This place rocks! read more

Lutticken's - Sandwiches Near Me - Menlo Park, California

I've lived near this place for about 8 years now, and I've only had the patience to try it a few times. Typically when I go in, employees seem lethargic, and takes about 10 mins to to be acknowledge you when you walk in the door. Well, this time was no surprise. I walked in with a friend and we waited by the sandwich menu for about 10 mins. An employee who was doing something in the back told me I had to wait for the other one to help me - which took him what seemed like eternity to operate the register. As we were waiting, he walked over to the sandwich area at the same time another customer had just walked in, and he greeted that one and left us standing there. Unfortunately, I had to fix that, which made me uncomfortable. He started making my sandwich and I had noticed that he didn't wash his hands after touching the register - which was an Ipad that looked greasy with smudges all over it. Because I had to interrupt him greeting a customer that had walked in after me, I really didnt want to give him a second strike in a 30 second time frame so I just let him make the sandwich with unwashed hands. After he finished, we put our sandwiches by the register and we asked for a Latte. He said "okay" and just started helping another customer immediately. We stood there at the register and we noticed we were not getting a latte. I asked him to cancel that drink and told him I would love to stay there all day but unfortunately I have to get going - So ring me up please. What seemed like a second eternity to get rung up, it was finally over and I was able to leave with my sandwich. Tastes good but not very organized. If you want a solid sandwich and you want to be able to get in, get out, and get on with your life, try almost any other Deli. There are much better options in the immediate area. read more

Stopped by this shop several times during a recent lacrosse event that was held nearby. Food was excellent and service was perfect. Will come back next time we are in the area. read more

Stop by for lunch! It gives me a "Cheers" feeling... people know each other, there are many regulars, and the staff jokes around a bit. Bob's BBQ burrito... yum!! Seriously. The hot sauce here is legit. It's a very cozy feeling inside. There are couches and a gas fireplace that adds a nice feeling. They have a variety of beers available too - bottled and on tap. We had a very nice casual business meeting here, and the four of us had a fantastic experience. It's great for studying, relaxing, casual meetings, or grabbing a bite. Medium level background noise. Sometimes quiet, sometimes you hear some lighthearted conversations. Bring headphones if that bothers you and you want to work. I did see that some people have had bad experiences here... but honestly mine was very good. I think it largely depends on how you interact with them in the first place. This has a family feel to it, and if you treat them nicely they will treat you nicely. Oh, and free wifi for customers! read more

Hadn't been here for a few years but the chicken salad sandwich is still awesome. Dutch crunch bread super soft too. They've definitely had a major face lift and it's pretty cute. I can only speak to the sandwiches though. Around 8 bucks but big and made with care. Staff is very friendly too. read more

Lutticken's - Chicken salad sandwich with everything added Swiss cheese on Dutch crunch. Very good. - Sandwiches Near Me - Menlo Park, California

Came here for a quick bite, I ordered a tuna sandwich and was kinda grossed out because the cashier started on my sandwich and then the guy before me paid, she went back to the register and put the money in the register then went back to making my sandwich without washing her hands! I wonder if she did it knowingly or on accident. Still ate my sandwich tho cause I was super hungry and didn't wanna make a big deal LOL I just hope I'm the first one this happened to and the last ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

A great space for getting work done. Very nice and comfortable setting. However, food, hygiene practices, and green practices need improvement. The food and service was under delivered and overpriced. I was hungry after eating a naked burrito (about 1 cup in total of filling for $8) Asked for greens instead of the tortilla. None came. Just the filling in a small pressed paper to go container. The "chicken" in the burrito looked like stir fried tofu -- smooth and uniform. Chicken does not naturally come this way. [I was working there and meeting a client so could not go elsewhere.] The Valencia (Ruben with slaw) was awful. I could not taste cheese. Hardly any pastrami. (maybe 2 thin slices) Drenched in mayo drenched watery cole slaw! Yuck! I saw other sandwiches with a healthy portion of meat. Did I just choose the wrong sandwich or are they sending a message that they prefer not to have this scrappy looking clearly not from around here (not white or rich) person as a customer? (I did not want to think this way but reading Aaron B's review reinforces how I felt. I think I had the same lunch lady) I tipped better than 20% each time. The guy at the counter never charged me when he brought me the "burrito" so I made sure I went back and paid for it. I was trying to be generous, friendly and honest as I always am. I appreciate having a nice place to work. When using the facilities, I saw cooked chicken on a sheet pan stacked on a garbage can. At the register, I saw people picking up a broom off the floor, then handling money, then food without ever washing hands. Everything is served on wax treated paper plates, with plastic utensils and plastic cups when I am eating here. What a waste! Hugely Disappointing. I so wanted to like this place as it seems to be a small town family owned establishment. The kind I love to find and frequent. read more

As other reviewers have pointed out, I can confirm that the paninis are reheated using the microwave and are disgusting. The other sandwiches are palatable, but there are much better options nearby at Eric's or Bianchini's Market, both of which also offer dutch crunch bread. The service ranges from confused to offensive. I once came with a large group and was yelled at very rudely by one of the staff (an older woman) for showing up with a large group but not ordering anything for myself. Even though most of the other people in our group had ordered sandwiches and the restaurant had plenty of open seats (as often seems to be the case during lunch hours), she was so offended at my decision to try and be at the same table as my group that she forced me up to the counter to buy a $1.50 bag of chips. Our group was appalled, not necessarily by the rule, but by the insanely abrasive way in which she tried to enforce it. I doubt we will be coming back even though we've been customers here before. I hope that the $1.50 was worth losing around a dozen customers (perhaps more if anybody else in the restaurant was paying attention). I suggest putting it towards some classes for your staff on how to properly act in the service industry. read more

My daughter and her friends went here for lunch on my recommendation. My daughter sat down at a table while the others went to order. Immediately, she was approached by an employee who rudely said, "If you aren't going to order anything, then see ya". She stomped away without giving my daughter a chance to explain that her friends were getting her order. Even after seeing the girls sitting there, all with food, she didn't make any attempt apologize. Great customer service... I will never make the mistake of recommending Lutticken's again, and I sure won't be going back again. I hope they get their wish and have plenty of open tables... read more

If I could give it any lower than 1 I would. The staff act like it's their first day at work and have nfi what's going on. Eggs sucked, smoothies were gross, and the iced coffee taste like gasoline. Would rather drive off a cliff then eat here again. read more

How shall I put this. Sandwiches are ok at best. Service when they want ok. Now for today. I stop in for a sandwich, lots of staff and a slow lunch crowd. Staff sitting around chatting about what I do not know, Spanish not so good. I get my sandwich and I for the life of me cannot find 1 table that does not look like a damn pig ate on it. Friggin disgusting, shit everywhere. Now maybe the conversation was so good work is not important, if that is the case get a job on radio. I want to spend my money and then eat in a clean environment, not some friggin pig house. CLEAN YOUR PLACE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I'd heard good things about Lutticken's and since I'm always on the lookout for a good sandwich/salad/deli type place, I was excited to try. This sandwich was extremely disappointing. We ordered a salami sandwich on a sourdough roll with regular mustard (not dijon) and everything on it. The roll was dry, there were literally two pieces of salami on the whole sandwich, and it had dijon mustard, which my husband hates. We didn't realize this until we got to the park where we were planning to picnic, otherwise we'd have taken it back. It took several teens who were running the deli counter a long time to make the sandwich, and I asked if I could order a pickle on the side. The cashier seemed totally overwhelmed and confused by this request, and initially wanted to just put it into a paper bag with no wrapping or anything. I had to ask if he had a tray, or wrapper or something, and he found some plastic wrap. The whole experience was really sub par. We will not be returning. Based on the other glowing reviews, I'm assuming we visited on an off day with new trainees or something. Very confused about why that sandwich was so bad. read more

Went awhile back and tried a sandwich. The best part of the sandwich was the avocado. I ended up picking off a lot of the meat because it wasn't very good. The other veggies tasted off.. I tried the enchiladas today to give them a second chance. Got black beans instead of the pinto beans that ordered, was disappointed. The rice was tasteless and got two steak enchiladas when I asked for one cheese and one steak. The enchiladas were bland and I bit into a huge piece of fat! Gross. Didn't really eat much of it after that. read more

I go here from time to time for lunch because it's convenient to my work. But I'm never excited about going here. I usually get a Reuben sandwich, and they do a decent but not great job at it. Too bad that don't make the meatball sub that their Stanford campus location makes. Also, the guy that owns the place is a strange character. Very sketchy. read more

This place is the shit! Bob is definitely # 1 !!! and the staff is great !! I would recommend the Pork Torta and axe to get extra Jalapeno Bacon on your stuff, you won't be disappointed ! read more

I had a pretty solid sandwich here a while back. Kooky they have a burrito bar. It's basically run by a group of local teen agers so you'll see that crowd hanging out here. However they are fairly good in their customer service training. Pastrami and corned beef are solid choices. The living room like setup with tv's to watch playoff games are also a nice touch read more

You have to be willing to brave Bob, but its well worth it. This is the best destination for sandwiches if you work around Sand Hill Road. Also, the burrito compares well to Lulu's at 60% of the cost. And now that they have done the remodel, its a cool place to sit down rather than just grab and go. I haven't been for the after 5, but would seem like a fun neighborhood destination. A word of advice, if Bob makes suggestions for your sandwich, take them. Not only will he mock you if you don't, but he does make sandwiches for a living, so he probably knows a thing or two. read more

The interior is modern and inviting--an excellent environment for enjoying a drink and food. The 5-7 PM drink special was for $2 micro brews--outstanding! All of this upside was undone by the food. The pizza was clearly a DiGiorno rising crust. This is disappointing in its own right, but was exacerbated by the fact that the pie wasn't properly heated. I found myself biting into cold, unmelted cheese. No more luck with the pork sliders, which were bland. Lutticken's would be well served to choose a few items and do them well rather than serving third rate fare. read more

My boyfriend lives down the street, and I would always come here wanting a sandwich for lunch. But they constantly run out of every deli roll and are usually just serving sliced bread for sandwiches when I get there, around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. This has happened to me the last two times I have been there. I can make a turkey sandwich on sliced bread at home. I would like an actually deli sandwich on a fresh roll, if I go out for one. If you get there before they run out of rolls, their sandwiches are really good. read more

This place needs to be reviewed on food handling safety. The person who made my sandwich was not wearing gloves..... She scratched her nose and didn't wash them. There was a guy standing by a cooking station scratching his head. This place is disgusting. Do not eat here. read more

The sandwiches here are not quite as good as some of the other places in town. The service here also tends to be on the slow side. They are good for watching NFL on Sunday though, and they tend to have friendly high school kids working there. read more

BEST COFFEE EVER! Just as good as Philz at half the price and a quarter of the wait! Be sure you're getting the gourmet coffee-by-the-cup. HOT, rich and delicious. Even the decaf Mocha Java is not lacking in flavor. Breakfast items are limited but delicious! Great interior re-do is comfortable and easy. Big tables for meetings, and leather groupings for more intimate lounging...well, not too intimate... Love this place. Chris is a wonderful server; Bob is the gregarious owner, and Judy his sweet and hard-working side kick. This is on our 'regular' list. read more

Cute, almost romantic place in West Menlo that is way below the prices of anywhere else. Quiet, and at times it can be intimate. It's my backup when I can't stand the roar of noise coming from the Dutch Goose. Outdoor seating in the summer is lovely. Clean restroom. read more

Great sandwiches, chips, and drinks! Look in the Unofficial Stanford directory for a "Buy 1, Get 1 FREE" coupon! The high school kids that work there are friendly and fast. I like the menu written backwards on the grease board for customers to read through the deli mirrors up above! Coolness! read more

I like their sandwiches! They're always made the way your ordered it. I've patronized this place, especially since my boss loves taking us there. I much as I like the sandwiches, there is just that one bit lacking. Just that extra umph to make it fantastic. I guess a sandwich can only go so far. I think it gets lost in all those layers. Anyway, its a great whole in the wall, and roadside eatery. It has a great neighborhood vibe. Now thats cool :) read more
