Ordered a chicken salad sandwich with curry, pastrami sandwich and potato salad. The chicken salad was pretty mediocre. My husband’s pastrami was nearly inedible. He could only eat half of it and he is NOT a picky eater. The potato salad and slaw are both laced with heavily pickled veggies that overpower everything in the salads. We had to wait 20 minutes at least before reminding them we hadn’t received our food. It was $45.00 for two sandwiches that would have been better at a supermarket.

One of the best sandwiches I’ve had! ?
TL;DR: outstanding ingredients, loved their turkey sandwich, delicious focaccia. Outdoor seating. ~$15-19 per sandwich. Does take a bit of time to be made, so order ahead!
Lucky Hen Larder has a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, generally served on their house focaccia or ciabatta breads. They also serve up ready-to-eat and pre-packaged Charcuterie foods, such as cured meats and cheeses.
All the sandwich options looked excellent, but I ended up going with their famous Turkey sandwich on focaccia, that featured thin turkey slices, crispy pancetta, rosemary aioli, cranberry-fig compote, triple cream brie, and arugula.
Already from the ingredient list you can tell it was going to be good, but this sandwich was truly excellent. All of the ingredients meshed perfectly, from the saltiness of the bread and turkey, to the creaminess of the Brie, to the sweetness of the cranberry-fig compote.
Would definitely come back again, but keep in mind it takes about 20-25 minutes to get your sandwich, so you may benefit from ordering ahead. Outdoor seating only. I paid ~$15 for my sandwich - totally worth it!

OMG this was seriously the BEST turkey sandwich I have ever had in my life. And that’s saying a lot. Lots of turkey on focaccia with thick slabs of Brie and jam. I was in heaven. Prices aren’t cheap, but it was worth it. Go here…you will be so happy you did.

Ordered 2 sandwiches, one was delicious, the other inedible. Bread was so hard we were unable to bite through, had to throw away. Disappointing as the food was not cheap.
Nice sunny spot to hang out and have lunch . The Turkey brie with cranberries on focaccia is so good . Go get it !

Delicious sandwiches. We got the tri tip and the hot pastrami. Both were incredibly complex and well balanced. Expensive, but worth the

You come here for the AMAZING sandwiches at this rustic roadside. The meatloaf & tri-tip never disappoint. I think this is one of the BEST sandwiches I've ever had.It's a small operation, so sometimes the wait can be long, but that's a small price to pay for quality ingredients and careful assembly. Limited outdoor seating, so plan for more of a "grab & go" lunch.Don't pass Santa Ynez by without checking this easily overlooked sandwich stall.
