The sub was good, I enjoyed the option to mix sauces and the menu had a variety of proteins, toppings and combinations to appeal to everybody. The wait was pretty long around lunch so call ahead or just be prepared.
Great sandwiches, weird location
I remember living in SF when there was only one location. Several years and infrequent trips later, I don’t think I’ll be wasting my time coming here anymore. With each visit, it seems like the bread has gotten a little worse, and the meat portions have gotten a lot lighter. I got a Matt Cain today and 1/3 of the sandwich had little or no meat on it. How the mighty fall. It’s no better than Subway to me anymore.
I visited this restaurant today while I was in between medical appointments at Stanford Healthcare a block away because the other restaurants closer were closed in the late afternoon. When I walked in, the music was on loudly, and saw no employees so I went to the restroom and came back out to order and I still saw no employees. A female employee finally came out after I had been standing there now for several minutes staring at the menu board that was supposedly being updated. I told her that the menu was confusing and asked if I could just get a more normal turkey sandwich and she had no reply so I just told her what I wanted on it and without saying anything at all she just started plugging it in to the register. I then asked her if there were any zero sugar soda options besides Diet Pepsi and she told me she did not know - luckily after I first grabbed a bottled water, I saw that there was a machine with tea in it so I got that.The woman was very impolite and did not even say thank you when I paid my bill and left her a tip. I will not be going back to this place again because the staff is rude and frankly it was overpriced. A small sub sandwich and glass of tea cost me over $15.00.The sandwhich.....Very plain! The turkey they use has no flavor at all. The sanwhich was loaded with mayo and mustard and the bread must not have been a whole wheat whole grain bun because it shot my blood sugar levels through the roof. As a type 3C diabetic, I count carbs and use an insulin pump. I am normally am spot on with this practice anywhere I eat, but I was not even remotely close here.I am not sure if this chain puts their menu items on CalorieKing like most chains do, but I am guessing that they don't. If this is the case, and the ownership sees this, I would highly suggest that they get their menu items on the site because it will then become available to use with insulin pumps. If I walk into Burger King or most any franchise I can literally plug my entire meal into my device and it gives me exact carb and fiber counts so I get just the right amount of insulin needed.Lastly...This location did not set a good first impression and was overpriced for what I had. I would have been so much happier with a less expensive and tastier Subway sandwich rather than this overpriced mayo and mustard sandwich. Judging from the crowd I believe that perhaps many other people in that area also feel the same way because I saw no other customers even while dining in. The next time I have multiple appointments at Stanford, I will either pack a lunch or venture out further for a bite to eat.
I love the sandwiches. The store is in a good location only draw back is the lack of parking and the tables are always dirty.
Hunter Pence with no honey mustard and no bbq, extra dirty sauce, add red onions and banana peppers it was made to perfection!
Lived upstairs for 3 years and it is the first time to try Ike’s sandwiches….. so good!!! Love the sauce and bread very much ?? so happy about the decision today!
It's been a long time since I've had an Ike's sandwich and it was just perfect like I remembered. I had the Adam Richman with Halal chicken instead of the fried chicken, on whole wheat and all the veggies and it was delicious. Perfect amount of ingredients and fresh flavors.
Great sandwich and a clean dining area!
The sandwich selection is fantastic and I have yet to try one that isn't delicious. (The Matt Cain is my favorite that I've tried so far.) I personally like that all of the sandwiches are served hot but you can request for it to be served unheated if that's your thing. The Dutch Crunch here is stored in such a way that the outside is soft so don't order it if you want that hard crunchy outer layer that Dutch Crunch usually has.
