Good potato chips, bad sandwich.

by MelissaFromIL

Earlier today I ordered the pork sandwich braised with tomatoes and blod (I know that's spelled wrong, but Citysearch won't let me post if it's spelled out "inappropriate word") oranges, with arugula and provolone on ciabata ($8-9). I also got some of their home-made potato chips for $2.50. Sounds amazing, right? The chips were, with the addition of a little salt. The sandwich was completely uneventful. It was essentially a very small amount of pulled pork with no flavor on thick bread wet from the juice from the pork. Yuck. I had a few bites and ended up throwing it away. These star ratings are off too, I'm not sure how they get a 4 1/2 star rating from 2 five stars, 1 two stars, and three one stars. That's a three star average, not including my rating.

Sam and Ella eat here all the time

by joe1234568

I was very impressed with the quality of the case of Sam n Ella I got from their crispy chicken sandwich I ate there this past Sunday.

• Pros: It's not Dante's Inferno.
• Cons: I'm on the can every half hour for a week.

worst sandwich ever

by apple415

I work at the Ferry Building a few times a month.

I was always curios about this restaurant when I walked by every time.

I finally had lunch and what a disappointment. I ordered the Crispy chicken sandwich and it wasnt crispy at all. Since it was an open kitchen, I was watching how they made the sandwich. They just took a pre-deep fried chicken and put it in a microwave to heat it up. Guess what, the outside was soggy because of that.

I paid $8.63 for that sandwich.

I recommend a restaurant called Delica in the same building. Their food is delicious!!!

• Pros: location
• Cons: food

I've been going to the ferry building since they redid it and absolutely love lulu petite. Everything in the building is priced at a premium, but the value here seemed much better than the other shops/restaurants. The almond tart is to die for and the my favorite sandwich must be the duck rilettes (great when heated up a little too!) Definitely a place to stop by.

• Pros: Very tasty sandwiches, Some unique drinks, Great view of bridge
• Cons: , Lots of tourists, Can get crowded

LuLu's little sister brings big flavors in little packages to the Embarcadero.

The Scene
Just off the Ferry Building's main entrance, this wee shop traffics in a brisk to-go lunch business. Service is kind, prompt and efficient. The five-seat lunch counter may be tiny, but a cheery yellow paint scheme and lively open kitchen make for a perfect all-day snack spot.

The Food
For starters, there are bold flavors aplenty in the pre-made sandwiches lining the deli case. Rich shreds of duck rillettes on ciabatta are offset by sweet-tart cherries in balsamic vinaigrette and peppery watercress. Made-to-order egg and sausage sandwich is an ooey-gooey delight. Unfortunately, a wild king salmon salad sandwich can be crippled by under-seasoning and too-thick slices of spongy green-olive bread. Still, a wedge of savory Swiss chard tart goes perfectly on a crisp tangle of dress-it-yourself mesclun greens, and while an heirloom tomato BLT may suffer from too little B, it's still mighty satisfying.

Don't bother with this place. Like the other one, it's overrated and the food just isn't up to par. You'd do much better going just about anywhere else than here.

• Pros: none
• Cons: LuLu's is a Huge Con
