Working at a jobsite up the street and come here for lunch a couple times a week. The staff is always nice and the sandwiches are always what I'm expecting. They are also very conveniently opened for people who have an earlier than normal lunch.

I agree with Ike's mom... These are the "best sandwiches in the world". The cup doesn't read itself...And the drinks.... Yum!

Tons of vegetarian options, probably some of the best vegetarian sandwiches I’ve had. I like the outdoor seating and proximity to downtown Burlingame.Dietary restrictions: Tons of sandwiches can be made vegan, which is great for my vegan family members.

Ike's has wonderful sandwich choices especially if you are looking for vegetarian, vegan options. Their service is wonderful, and my husband eats there regularly. He's always looking for good healthy vegetarian options and Ike's is his number one go to.

Very disappointed. First Ike’s visit. The service was great. The sandwich was not. You cannot neglect one of the two main parts of a sandwich. The meat, the filling and sauce were great. The Dutch crunch was neither Dutch nor crunch, and it was frozen inside.
I came to this Ike's as the one is San Mateo didn't seem to promote the new vegan Floryn sandwich. I don't think this one does either, since the sandwich they gave me was the Arrow, which is the complete opposite of what I wanted. There goes my meal. Well actually, they got the chips right... so there's that.

First time customer. Bread was warm and delicious. Vegetables all seemed fresh and crunchy. Sauce was also very good although too much. my only complaint was the amount of actual meat. there was like one slice of Turkey and one slice of roast beef. For $12 sandwich I expect there to be a reasonable amount of meat. Not a good value.

I've been to several Ike's and this is not one I would go back to. I ordered my favorite sandwich (which I've ordered for several years at many different locations) on the app and whoever made it in the other end just did not know the menu. It was dry, despite asking for extra dirty sauce, missing main ingredients and unfortunately I was stuck eating it as I was traveling on the road. In addition to the sandwich, I ordered 2 bags of chips, one being plain salted, and was given salt and vinegar. Luckily I saw that one closely after I drove away, and went back to exchange it. Wish I had noticed how poorly made my sandwich was made before I got too far. Lastly, not being from the area and having been on the road for some time, I was a bit disappointed I chose this as my one stop to use the restroom while getting lunch as when I asked to use the restroom, I was informed they did not have one to offer, not even for their patrons.

Friendly staff! One gentleman pretended to answer my allergy questions but he wasn’t honest about not understanding English - so he answered incorrectly. The other showed me Ike’s allergy card and answered all my questions. Glad to support businesses with vegan options. FYI the Meatless Mike meatballs are spicy like Italian sausages to those who are pepper-sensitive. Had to give it away to someone in my household. Also the sodium content is SUPER-HIGH - 1850 mg!! I’m adding my own vegan burger and eating half today and half tomorrow to just to balance it all out. Overall good flavor, yet a bit pricey for a sandwich.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Natalie C. (review dated 7/7/23)I've been one of Ike's biggest fans after discovering it years ago on Stevens Creek Blvd. Without a doubt - they created and consistently made the best sandwiches I'd ever eaten out. I was in heaven because I'm a long-term vegetarian - mostly vegan. I couldn't believe the options, flavors, signature sauce, freshness, and then some. I also have enormous respect for the founder's personal message and considered sending him a thank you letter. For years, Ike's was a special treat for lunch or even dinner. I was a great advertisement for Ike's, introducing Ike's to many people. Fast forward to the Burlingame location. At first - years ago - I was happy, but could swear the quality started declining. The bread didn't seem fresh and I started noticing other changes. I wondered if this location was under new management and other possibilities . . . . As Natalie mentioned - this location now seems "off." I wondered if I was being too particular. I'm not a finicky, snobbish customer. The door used to be open. It was bright and airy. Now - it seems there is NO ventilation and a distinct aroma is too strong. This last time, I was dreading the "smell" and "lack of air," hoping it wouldn't be that way again . . . . It wasn't even noon . . . .Like Natalie, I could smell it in my clothes and couldn't wait to get home to change and wash. My sandwich was okay, but I probably won't order that one again. Other sandwiches at this location have also become "okay." Not sure I'll return to this location. Then there's the "stuffiness" and "air quality." I may explore another location or two. It's no secret that the restaurant industry is difficult (gross understatement); the public is hard to please; and changes are often made to cut costs. I truly hope that Ike's - including this location - will succeed.
