First thought? What tha hell is a Lottie and Zula's? Idk, but a coworker recommended I try these guys. Took one look at their website, salivated all over the pics, wiped my screen and said, "We're going here for lunch!" Here's the down low:
::: PARKING :::
Street parking. I did not see any Parking Kitty signs so we parked down the residential street nearby. An adjacent parking lot, across from Lotties, is a permit parking lot only. I wouldn't risk it.
:::: SERVICE & DINING ::::
No issues with service. The cashier dude was patient, but helpful as I took a lot of time deciding on which sammich to order. As for dining in, its really like a small cafe with only a few tables and plenty of stickers. Like a skate shop. Nothing fancy, but in general the dining area seemed fairly clean.
::::: N.E. GRINDERS :::::
"The #22" ($15) aka a Reuben with pastrami AND it's on marble rye! Its gotta be marble rye or it ain't a real Reuben. Kraut, Russian Island dressing, and melted Swiss cheese; GAWD it was love at first bite! And for the dill spear, they give you Bubbies. Gotta love Bubbies pickles! OH, and you know it's a good Reuben when you smell that toasted rye bread.
"Operation Plunder Dome" ($18) aka the OPD, or simply their meatball sub. The six and eight inch subs were a few bucks cheaper, but I got the footlong, and shared the other half. This too was enjoyable! Marinara sauce, melted mozzarella and provolone cheese, ugh instant gratification!
:::::: From L to Zula ::::::
"L" for LOVE this shop! Love their sandwiches and subs and everything about them! I highly recommend giving them a try, even if you're not a local! It's a chill little shop with a $15 average sandwich price. There is one thing that stands out, and that's the record shop inside. Yes, they've got a little room filled with records, tapes, and CDs. A place to buy-sell-trade some vinyl. Which reminds me, I gotta get rid of some Blink182 crap. I'll be back!
