I stopped by this cozy deli--one of the rare times I actually make it over here--and I'm sad to hear they'll be closing down for good soon. The service was friendly, parking was a breeze, and the comfortable vibe featured a big screen TV playing college football. I ordered a salami sandwich with flavorful Swiss cheese that hit the spot, alongside a banana treat smoothie. While the smoothie's flavor was okay, it was bogged down by too much ice, turning a creamy drink into an icy slushy that desperately needed more banana punch. It's a real shame this neighborhood spot is shutting its doors. read more

They are closing forever September 30 Too bad for us. It will be missed.... Bye great lunch place read more

Got the vegetarian burrito though a work lunch delivery service. Burrito was delicious, very hefty and good blend of fillings, had roasted veggies, guac, rice, beans, salsa. It also seemed to be lightly toasted/pressed on the outside which was a nice touch. From what I could tell the vegetarian burrito is vegan by default. Not too expensive especially for the area. Would recommend! read more

Excellent food and beer with good music to enjoy. Had the cod tacos, which came with nice slice of avocado and a red sauce to make the tacos quite feeling. read more

No, this place is open for lunch, and it's where I went after Lulu's was too crowded. The only parking spaces available in the area were the Lutticken's-only ones, so that's where I went. The menu over the ordering counter was chaotic and confusing, I couldn't quite figure out all of what they had. What I could find was a meat loaf sandwich, which I had on a Dutch crunch roll. It was very big and hearty, I'll give it that, though the meat loaf was only a small part of it (ref. "where's the beef?") but it was pretty good meat loaf. I'll give it a 'modestly acceptable' rating. read more

When I come up to Menlo Park to visit family I have to get a sandwich from Luttickens. This place is the best deli hands down

Wow, first time here w the family. My mother in law lives in Menlo and my husband hasn't been here since middle school (so it's been 4 decades!) The people working were all very young and friendly. We can for a late lunch on a Saturday, ambiance was very laid back. The prices were phenomenal! Pre-pandemic and pre-inflation. My teenage son had the Philly cheese steak ($9.95) on a Dutch crunch roll, delicious! He said if this place was near his high school, he would come every day. He also bought the t-shirt. We had sliders two for $7 and my husband had a burger ($9.95), single latte ($3), and fries (also very good). We will definitely come back again the next time we are in town. Also on yelp it says they aren't open till 5:00p, but that is only for the dinner menu I think. They are totally open for lunch too. read more

They didn't even bring me my food, asked multiple times and they said they would bring it out soon, they never did...

Came for Thursday night karaoke with Anthony! It was a great experience! The space was cute and cozy! read more

This is a locally-owned neighborhood gem. The staff are kind and hard-working. They are one of the few places offering live music on weekends plus jazz occasionally on Wednesdays. read more

I was needing a late lunch/early dinner the other day and was in the area so stopped by Lutticken'ns. (They are located next to LuLu's and The Dutch Goose) This is such a wonderful local spot! The food is good (and large portions!) and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. When you walk in you feel like you're in someone's dining room that flows into their living room. They have small to large tables in the dining area and in the "living room" area they have chairs surrounding a fireplace, another area with sofa and chairs, and then the bar area. It's super comfy and a great place to hang out with friends, have a couple cocktails, get some appetizers and catch up. They have a big screen TV above the fireplace so you can also watch your favorite sports game. During the day up until 5pm they have their breakfast menu, sandwiches, paninis, salads and their burrito menu. After 5 they have their dinner menu with a large selection of yumminess to choose from. I love all the appetizer selections! Their prices are very reasonable, especially considering this is Menlo Park. They have a full bar and a pretty good wine selection to choose from. They also have live bands every Friday night and on Fridays they are open until 9pm. They have a patio area in the front but on nice days get there early because it's the most popular seats and fill up fast. The staff at this place are the true gems! I think most have worked here for years. The wait staff and bartenders are so welcoming and accommodating they make you feel like you're a guest at their home. read more

As others have said, This is a great neighborhood restaurant in Menlo Park. We've been going there for dinner for several years. We love their grilled cod fish tacos The portions are quite generous - we always come away stuffed. Carlos and crew give us wonderful service. You can sit comfortably outside or in. And their prices are economical. read more

Im not sure how someplace that is so mid is still around. Unfortunately I made the mistake of agreeing to eat here with friends. There are no veg friendly options, and no, they dont even try. I asked if I could do some sort of veggie sandwich. Literally anything with no animals in it. I got a dry roll, with a couple of pieces of eggplant, and jarred bell peppers. A texture nightmare with genuinely no taste (or substance!!!). This is so highly embarrassing, I'm still in disbelief. read more

Lutticken's - Who knows honestly - Sandwiches Near Me - Menlo Park, California

Sourdough was dry, not sour, not toasted, hard to chew, and some bits soggy. Asked for extra meat, definitely did not get extra meat or the base amount they use is embarrassingly low as I barely got any pieces of chicken. Torta (Chicken, Sourdough, Add Extra meat) - the only thing they got right was putting a bit of chicken. That's all I can really say in addition to comments left above. Cheesecake - price isn't absurd. It's a cheesecake, pretty consistent and standard. Nice chocolately touch even though that isn't made clear by the name or description, I thought it was a nice addition. However much I liked it, I don't think it's enough to raise my opinion of this spot overall especially because it wasn't extraordinary. read more

I want to love this place, I really do. I love the staff and the atmosphere. It's honestly cozy, always smells delicious and is so inviting. I would come daily if the food was more enjoyable. I've had a few things on the menu as well as some grab and go items and it's just not for me. Yesterday I went and grabbed the pasta salad and marinated mushrooms- both had a ton of Italian type dressing and garlic powder. I took a bite of each and put them down. Didn't taste fresh and flavorful. The last time I grabbed a deli meat sandwich, all fresh ingredients but the deli meat was a bit off. Maybe I need to try some of their breakfast items. My friend raves about this spot, and I haven't found something I love, and that doesn't mean I won't return- I just haven't found it yet. The staff and atmosphere and cozy seating makes up for the lack in food. read more

Great vibe and energy throughout the entire resto.. Lots of cozy seating..Fabulous Beer and Wine selection. A fair selection of appetizers and entrees to choose from as well as a kids menu. Thursday's are dedicated to karaoke. Bring your singing voice! Recommend the antipasta plate and the Pot Stickers appetizer. Club house sandwich also really tasty! Super delish served super fast! read more

My Mom and sister and I needed some good after dealing with care-taking for my father. This deli was on the way back from the care facility so we stopped in for a late lunch. The parking is crazy, really narrow spots and there is a large bump to get into the spot. Luckily we were not in my SUV but my sister's rental car. We lucked out and got the first spot. The order process was pretty easy, several people working behind the counter. There was a large selection of sandwiches, salads, and even a burrito menu. The menu doesn't give much information about the salads and sandwiches, we had to ask lots of questions before we ordered. We all ordered sandwiches and I ordered some fries to share. I also got a big bag of chips and a Mexican Coke (yay real sugar). My sister and mom got a lemonade and a sparkling water. Even though they had a lot of chips to choose from, most were too spicy for me, I ended up with a large bag of plain kettle chips. My sandwich was good, I ordered a turkey with lettuce and mayo on a sourdough roll. The roll was huge. I ended up having to pile all the stuff on one base and use the other base as a top in order to cut down on the carbs!! The fries were Amazing!! We definitely were happy we ordered them. Nice and crispy and hot, while not being too overdone. Thank you. My mom got a shrimp sandwich, again it was so large that she saved the other half for a late dinner. She was happy. My sister ordered the Italian pressed sandwich, very large and she was surprised by what meats were included. She finished her sandwich in the shop because she had to fly. I am sure that sandwich lasted in her belly until she arrived home late that night!! I would definitely return here, the atmosphere was great. The workers were COVID compliant, which we appreciated. I see from other reviews that this is a bar and music venue, so will consider returning here once we get past the whole COVID times. I have pics that I will add later. read more

First time eating here. I got a BLT on Dutch crunch, potato salad, and a cookie. BLT - I expected the Dutch Crunch bread to be toasted, but I suppose that falls on me for not asking for toasted bread. The bread still seemed a bit stale however and there was barely enough bacon when ordering double bacon. I am curious to know how much bacon is actually put in with no extra bacon. I asked for Avocado which was good and the produce was decent. Not a terrible sandwich, but not a great sandwich either. Potato Salad - I've eaten the exact same potato salad at Safeway or maybe it was Lucky. In any event, I know it was purchased from one of those stores because I ate it once and it was terrible. Cookie - It tasted like a stale cookie from again, a grocery store. I won't eat here again, not because the sandwich wasn't great but because I don't want to pay for a rewrapped cookie or a repacked tub of potato salad from some random grocery store. My food was delivered via Waiter.com, so perhaps the in person experience would have offset the mediocre food. The end read more

Been coming here since god knows when. 30 years ? 25 years? I'm not sure. I keep coming back because the sandwiches are awesome. The people are friendly and the place is old and classic as Menlo Park itself. It's a local institution. Dutch crunch bread is a local favorite and the only bread I get sandwiches on at Lutikens. My go to is a roasted turkey on Dutch with all the veggies they can plow on there and my secret weapon: cranberry sauce. Love it. I stop in every time I am back in town and I will continue to do so. read more

Lutticken's - Turkey Sandwich on Dutch Crunch - Sandwiches Near Me - Menlo Park, California

Watkins is the last honest deli a place where quality needs quality threads quality cheeses combine to offer an experience like no other. I dare anyone that's hungry enough for a jalapeño cheddar cheeseburger to go to lettuce today and try it out. The only problem is if the owner is there, make sure that she doesn't offer you the onion rings because if she does, you'll be hooked and that's not a good thing if you're watching your waistline, hahahaha they are the best onion rings I've ever had. They have outdoor seating and an indoor atmosphere that makes you want to stay the night speaking at night time. Let it turns into a restaurant after five for the dinner hours Alameda de las pulgas just might offer the best food in Menlo Park with the Dutch goose Lukins, Lulu's and flea street one could only wonder what is going on a couple miles down the road on Santa Cruz Ave. where every single solitary shop is sandwiched between a rug shop which nobody ever enters read more

Lutticken's After 5 - what a nice surprise! Food was fantastic and there was a great vibe with live music. Will definitely do it again.

This place is so cute! Cafe/deli/bar etc. easy for takeout including made to order sandwiches. You can even half the size. Also bigger meals like burgers and breakfast items. Sells liquor to go but also has a bar for full service. Comfortable place with a TV for sports. read more

The sandwiches are okay here. They are not the best or worse. They are fair. They don't put very much meat in the sandwiches. Tasted like one of the ready made sandwich that you get off the deli refrigerator cases grab and go style. My strawberry smoothie was more like a slushy. No real fruit in the smoothie. Just flavoring and crushed ice. I go here if I'm super hungry and in the area and don't have time to stop somewhere else. Service is slow so be patient when you go. read more

When placing my order, employee went behind the kitchen before taking my payment which is done over the counter. I ended up waiting 5 minutes just to pay for my order. My breakfast burrito will go down as one of the worst I've had. The egg was rubbery, too much low quality melted cheese, and the ham (not heated) was truly foul. It is frustrating to pay for a meal I had to through half of in the garbage. read more

I was looking around to order box lunches for my woman's group and someone told me about Lutticken's. I called, looked at their menu and decided to try their lunches. Box lunches include a very attractive box holding the meal. We ordered turkey, roast beef and vegetarian sandwiches which came with lettuce, pickle, tomato and onion on them. Included in the boxes were assorted small bags of chips, small pasta salad, fruit (usually an apple comes with the lunch, but I explained we had some older women who may not enjoy the apple so we got small containers of strawberries and grapes-yummy!) cookie, napkin, fork and small mustard and mayo condiment packets. Also included with the box lunches are beverages, we got assorted waters, diet and non diet cokes in a separate box. It was nice that they were very willing to work with us as to ordering kind of sandwiches, and switching from an apple to grapes and strawberries. Everyone totally enjoyed their meals and the lunches were very filling. Working with Luttickens was very easy. Judy helped me with the numbers and kinds of drinks etc most people order. TIP: You have to tell them about your intent to order about one week ahead so they can expect your order. Then two days prior to the date you need the lunches, you order them. Parking is available next to the store. There are a few private parking spaces available and each time I came I had no problem finding an empty spot. If we were to need box lunches again I would definitely order from Luttickens again. Everything went smoothly, the people were helpful, the food was ready when it was supposed to be and best of all.......the food was very good! read more

100%!!! This place and service feels neighborly and is like being in your family room.

The three stars is mainly for the service. These guys are definitely working as fast and best as they can. I can't fault them for that. The quality of the food though was not great. The sandwiches came out lukewarm, and my burritos came with old, hard rice that crunched upon chewing. I thought maybe it was just an issue of one sandwich or one burrito, but I ordered three sandwiches and two burritos through Yelp, and each food item had the same issue. I felt bad for my coworkers, who quietly came up to me to talk about the food. Maybe it was just an off day? read more
