My husband and I were staying in Solvang with our dogs. We came here for an early lunch. The exterior is cute with a rustic feel and there are plenty of seating outside with a gorgeous view. My husband went inside to order and I waited outside with our dogs but they told me I could come inside with them. I ordered the tuna sandwich and my husband got the turkey sandwich. I almost ordered a small charcuterie board for us to share but then thought it’d be too much food so I held off. The sandwiches were unique and not your typical tuna or turkey sandwiches. We were impressed with the taste and quality of the food in addition to the customer service. We ended up coming back a second time 30 minutes before they closed at 3pm. I got the tri-tip sandwich while my husband got the meatloaf sandw

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 ingredient

This is sweet little spot for quality eats. Very pleasant waitstaff. We got a charcuterie plate for 2. It was a little box of delightful goodies. Truly enjoyed the selections. A must stop if you are in the Valley. Lots of jams and honey & nuts. I even got some tasty cheese to go.

How this place got a 4.7 is beyond me. No prices are showing, then it was over priced. 3 sandwiches over $50 and to top it off the bread was stale, no flavor whatsoever ugh. The tuna melt was so funky not sure it was fresh tuna, could not eat because I was afraid of getting sick. My other two friends did not like their sandwiches either. Not worth it!!

Outdoor walk-up counter with outside seating. Highly recommended to pre order your food. Service was a little slow being the only person there. I ordered a sandwich and it took 30 minutes. Maybe a fluke. The patio has great views and a good menu.
