Fantastic sandwich! Have seen it for years but never went in. Very glad I finally did.

Sandwiches just ok. Way overpriced. Girls working were blah. They acted like they just came from a funeral. Love? Respect? Not here. Keep moving and head to CHeBA hut!

One of the best and only options in the valley for great Vegan sandwiches! You can't go wrong with any option, and having so many options available makes it easy to go with friends and family who prefer meat sandwiches. Their fries are fantastic, but make sure you get dirty sauce (or vegan dirty sauce) for dipping. Also, the Dutch Crunch bread is the best around and is also vegan.

I haven’t even gotten my food yet but unless it’s the most amazing sandwich I’ve ever eaten, I will not be coming back. Tables are all dirty even though we are the only people here. We tried to order the peanut butter and jelly for our son but they said they didn’t have peanut butter? We asked if we could get a sandwich without melted cheese and were told they couldn’t do it because it would be a health code violation? So I’m not super impressed so far.Edit: The food was also not great. My husband said the chicken on his sandwich just tasted like microwaved dino nuggets. The fries weren't crispy at all and were soft and tasted undercooked. Overall just a very underwhelming experience. And before the owner comments on this and tells me to contact Ikes through the website: I already did and they just offered me coupons for sandwiches which, if I didn't like my food, I'm obviously not going to use them.

I was actually there for the grand opening of this Mesa location and got to meet Ike himself years ago.Ike's is a small sandwich chain with many vegan and vegetarian options, and many of the sandwiches can be made vegan or vegetarian. Their Dutch crunch bread is by far the best and definitely unique to the restaurant. Sandwiches are made to order so it will arrive warm, wrapped in an Ike's wrapper, cut in half, with shredder lettuce and diced tomatoes added as an option. Their fries some with a season salt type seasoning. Zapps chips and fountain and bottles drinks are add-on options as well. This location has dine in table options and most seem to have outdoor seating. I have rarely came across a rude worker between the 3 locations I have been to. Would recommend for sure.

Before anyone says understaffed there were 4 workers there the day we went and when we ordered we were the only ones there, about 11am on a Friday. Where to start? Dirty establishment, every table was sticky, dead bugs and major dust buildup near windows. Trash left on some tables. Before we even order cashier tells us there is no tomato, no onion, no vegan turkey, no lettuce "because nobody has cut it yet". Ordered 2 sandwiches, the "Going Home For Thanksgiving" and the "Sally Chambers Club", an order of onion rings and jalapeno poppers and 2 drinks. $44. Took about 25 minutes to get our sandwiches and sides and we were the only 2 in there. The Thanksgiving was soggy as could be and literally 1 slice of deli turkey meat on it. The Sally Chambers was so-so but the bbq sauce overpowers any flavor and made the bread quite soggy also. Onion rings were burnt, like black burnt crisps not just slightly over cooked. The Jalapeno poppers were surprisingly delicious. Maybe it was just the location or the day idk but very disappointed especially for the price.

Our new favorite for Saturday lunch. Staff is friendly and sandwiches are really good. They use actual French Bread!

Easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I tried the 111 menage a trois on dutch crunch bread. It was amazing! They have an insane number of sandwiches that you can order and I will absolutely be back to try some more. Price is higher than your typical Subway sandwich, but I'd compare it to a higher quality sandwich like Firehouse, but way better.

Is there a reason why only 2 people are working every time I go? The sandwiches are good which is why I return but the service and the speed are awful. I sat in the drive-through for over 25 minutes for 2 sandwiches. I could see inside that only one person was working and the other Was distracted. This is very frustrating when you are hungry and in a hurry!
