This is a good lunch spot for FiDi. Sandwiches are $12.50-$14. Salads are $10-$11. Prices on their website are outdated. My sandwich , the LLB special $12.50 was roast beef, turkey, ham, swiss, provolone on dutch crunch, was alright. The New England Clam Chowder $8.50 was chunky and not filled all the way up. That tasted OK as well. Friendly service for a counter style restaurant. Kitchen was fast taking account they were busy. I was pretty full afterwards.

Had the ultimate omelet sammie. Quick, friendly service. Sammie was delicious. One of the best things I ate in San Francisco. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back on my next trip.

Probably the best sandwich I've had in months - I highly recommend the Hot Pastrami with the jalapeño spread.

I ordered the original breakfast sandwich and it was very good. The eggs were extremely fluffy and the ciabatta bun was soft and toasted to perfection. Will definitely be coming here again.

This is a cafe that I've been to a few times for lunch, and it's a great place to get a quick sandwich in the heart of FiDi! While it is in the lobby of an office building, it does have its own area with seating in case you want to eat there. The service is friendly, and typically it only takes five minutes or so for your order. I usually get the Roma's Club with Dutch Crunch, and for the size of the sandwich that you get for the price (which is fairly affordable by SF standards) I think it's a pretty good value. The ingredients taste fresh, and I am usually pretty full afterwards. Nice spot to check out!

Love the entire Lous experience. Sandwiches are amazing. The staff is super sweet and professional. And I feel like, I'm this super expensive city, the prices are fair.

Lou's is my favorite spot to grab a bite to eat at lunch. Most of their sandwiches are under $10 and could easily be 2 meals. They use very high quality boars head meat, their bread is always fresh (sourdough and Dutch Crunch are my favs), and their special sauce and jalapeño spread are delicious! Everyone I've interacted with there has been super nice and welcoming, and the food takes about 10 minutes to come out, so if you're on a time crunch make sure you order ahead. This time, I got a turkey cranberry on Dutch Crunch and it was amazing as always. Their menu is very diverse and has a ton of specialty sandwiches and salads with the option to BYO as well. 10/10, definitely recommend!!

Had the ultimate club and it was fuego as usual. Lou's never disappoints and for an affordable price point. Jalapeño spread really gives all the sandwiches a nice touch.

Not very much meat in my roast beef, mostly lettuce and sauce. Bread was stale

This is one of the most affordable places for a good quality sandwich or salad in downtown SF. I've gotten the chicken pesto, amicado, and build your own sandwich with pastrami and roast beef, as well as the Chinese chicken salad. All have been tasty, and the sandwiches and salads are good size so you don't leave hungry. They have a variety of interesting combinations that I'm eager to try. As of June 2023, the sandwiches start at $9.85 for a build-your-own without cheese and $10.90 for their specialty sandwiches, which is much cheaper than other sandwich spots in SF. They also have a rewards program where you get a free sandwich after a certain number of purchases (you'll need to enter your phone number for this). Tip: to avoid waiting, try calling ahead your order, and they usually have it ready within 10-20 minutes. At their Pine Street location, I've called ahead and been quoted 15 minutes until the sandwich is ready, but when arriving 15 minutes later, I've had to wait an additional 15 minutes for my sandwich to be ready. I haven't had that issue at this location on Battery Street - their estimated prep times for sandwiches have been accurate. Keep up the great work!
