9.0/10 I. love. Ike's Love & Sandwiches!! From my very first bite almost a decade ago in San Francisco to witnessing their expansion over the years, Ike's has consistently delivered on flavor and quality. Even my discerning mom, who has quite the palate, is a fan! To this day Ike's remains to be one of my favorite sandwich shops. I've had: 111. Menage A Trois $14.50 | 957. The Damon Bruce $16.95 | 143. I'll Be Your Valentine $14.14 and 243. I Choo Choo Choose You $14.14 (limited-time February specials) | THC (April Weedmaps 420 Special) $14.20 | 7777. Patrick $15.51 (Spring Special) | Zapp's New Orleans Kettle Style Potato Chips Hotter 'n Hot Jalapeno, Mesquite Bar-B-Que, VooDoo Heat $2.75 each | Complimentary Tootsie Caramel Apple Pop. I can't pick a favorite sandwich although I've gravitated towards Menage A Trois a lot in the past. Zapp's Chips Hotter 'n Hot Jalapeno flavor is my favorite. Let's talk about that Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce - absolute game-changers! The bread strikes the perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft interior, while the garlic aioli adds a nice kick. Whether it's their thinly sliced chicken, flavorful steak, or juicy turkey, Ike's never disappoints in the meat department. The corned beef was perfectly seasoned and I loved how thinly sliced it was. Even their vegan chicken option is surprisingly delicious, catering to all dietary preferences. The limited-time sandwiches were a flavor explosion! The Jamaican jerk sauce had just the right amount of spice, leaving me craving more. The THC has a good blend of ingredients down to the crunch of the hot cheetos. The Patrick was a standout, my first time having a corned beef sandwich. I'm glad I got the Emerald sauce on the side though because I think it's horseradish which I'm not much of a fan of. You really can't go wrong with any order. Portion sizes are generous - I can barely finish half a sandwich in one sitting, but the leftovers taste just as good days later. My boyfriend, on the other hand, seems to have no trouble devouring his entire meal. Zapp's Chips are amazing, you can't go wrong with Mesquite Bar-B-Que, but the Hotter 'n Hot Jalapeno flavor is still my favorite. They have a nice crunch and give a nice kick, a unique flavor I haven't found in other Jalapeno flavored chips. I just tried Voodoo Heat and it's tasty, it tastes like a mix of vinegar, sweet barbecue and jalapeno. I didn't see anything on the website regarding eco-packaging or sustainability efforts, bummer. Located in a shopping plaza, you'll have no issues finding free parking in the lot. The ambiance is casual. There are a few tables for inside seating but no outside seating. Price has definitely gone up but so has everything in the world. I think for the amount of food you are getting and the quality, the price is right. I had a mixed experience on my recent visit regarding service. I ordered through the mobile app on a Friday around 4 PM. The estimated pick-up time was 20 minutes. I got there 15 minutes after ordering and my order for three sandwiches was ready, no wait! However, I felt the staff could have been more attentive and friendly. As I was walking in, I saw an employee at the front counter, however, they walked to the back of the store although I'm quite sure they saw me. So now I was just standing there with no one helping me for a good minute or two before another employee from the back saw and helped me. They knew right away which one my order was and handed it over. I said thank you and that was it and they walked away. Maybe, it was a one-off. A little more acknowledgment and engagement with customers would go a long way in enhancing the overall experience.

My second time trying this and I had to drag my boyfriend to try it out for himself. I've always been in this plaza but never willingly wanted to try the sandwich until recently when I tried it at another location. I got the Matt Cain on Dutch Bread without tomato. Life changing!! Cold sandwiches are always great when there's a good combination and I'm glad I went with this one on my first try. Now it's my go-to at other locations! My boyfriend got the Da Vinci and I still think mine was better LOL

I got the Da Vinci and I didn't want the bread so I removed the bread and what I had was mostly lettuce, pickles, sauce and hardly ANY turkey or salami. A rip-off at $13!

Get ready to embark on a flavor-filled adventure at Ike's Sandwiches, where every bite feels like a warm hug from a dear friend. Say hello to the "We're Just Friends" sandwich, a delightful creation bursting with halal chicken, creamy avocado, melty pepper jack cheese, and a tangy orange glaze that adds a zesty twist. It's like a party in your mouth, with each flavor harmonizing perfectly to create a symphony of deliciousness. And let me tell you about the size--this sandwich is so big, it's practically begging to be shared (or savored for leftovers). Ike's Sandwiches isn't just a place to eat; it's a place to make tasty memories with friends, one sandwich at a time.

I got delivery and it's so good except I ordered a "a good idea-sea berry" drink and they gave me "frost strawberry soda and that made me sad :/ I can't have that much sugar in my drinks, I wish they paid attention or I can get the drink I ordered sometime :( I also didn't get my lollipop!

I don't like their Dutch bread. It has a grittiness to it. Next time I'll try their French bread. #91 Paul Reuben plus tomatoes was great. Lots of thin cut pastrami. Nice saucy coleslaw. #98 Jaymee Sirewich was great. Tender light fried chicken. Awesome Yellow BBQ sauce that was almost like honey mustard.

Bread was hard and stale. Besides that it was good. They wouldn't let my dog in. Employees are nice and quick. Coming back!!

Such a great sandwich place. They've got tons of different options and trust me, they all taste great. For a chain sandwich place, Ike's is doing it right. Their world famous dutch bread is the only way to get your sandwich made. The staff in this location is always professional and there to help. I've never tried any of their vegetarian options so I can't give my feedback on that. I do have two negatives about Ike's and maybe it's specific to this location but the quality and flavor of your sandwiches waaaay outweigh these two negatives - 1) you will wait for your sandwich. This isn't subway where they make it as you order. With all the different options Ike's has, it takes a while to make your sandwich but just be patient. 2) Ike's is on the pricier end of sandwiches but the quality and freshness of the ingredients especially the meat is worth the premium, in my opinion. Oh and another thing, there's only 3 tables inside this location and a couple more outside so may not be the best place to eat out if you're with a larger group.

Very good sandwiches for being a chain the crunch bread was so good just wish there was a location closer to me

One of the very few sandwich shops that offer vegetarian and vegan options. The restaurant is clean and friendly staff. I love this location as it's close to home. Great sandwiches average price point but offers a nice option that most sandwich shops don't have.

Went to their FV location to order a sandwich to go. After inserting my credit card, the cash register prompted for a tip. Do other sandwich places ask for a tip on to go orders? Perhaps workers need to to be paid more? Such greed is a total turn off.
