My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch. The ambiance is different from other sandwich spots in midtown. The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are named after people or landmarks in Sacramento. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends. The staff joke around and seem to enjoy their job and working together. You won't be disappointed by trying the Sandwich Spot during your next lunch break or on the weekend, hanging out with a friend.

I'd heard a lot of good things about this specific location. I think it's a local chain, but I'd…read morenever been, so I finally decided to give it a try. The restaurant is in a really cool old Victorian house, and the staff were super friendly. The interior was clean and looked like a nice place to dine in, but I ended up taking my order to go. I ordered the #19 with turkey, prosciutto, avocado, and swiss on a dutch crunch roll. The bread had just gone into the oven, so we had to wait about 10 minutes, but I can't complain because it was baked fresh to order. Overall, I thought the sandwich was very good, but honestly not quite as amazing as people online had made it out to be. It was definitely good, but I don't know if I'd be dying to go back when I think Ike's, Mr. Pickle's, Corti Bros, and maybe even Nugget or Sprouts make more interesting sandwiches. To me, those places use slightly higher quality ingredients as well, though maybe I just didn't order the best sandwich here. Overall, it was a good sandwich and a good experience. My expectations were probably just a little too high. I wouldn't be dying to come back but also wouldn't say no if someone wanted to go there for lunch.

I picked the turkey sandwich box and it was ok on sourdough bread, but the bread was kind of tasteless and stuck to my teeth so it was not great. I also had a gluten free half turkey sandwich as there were extras and the bread was very good. It was light and tasted like some kind of delicious wheat if no one told me I'd not known it was gluten free. The turkey filling was more generous in the gluten free sandwich than the boxed full sandwich, not sure why that is. The salad was delicious, the oil based dressing was tart but had some kind of sweetness added that really brought out the umami flavor. The chocochip cookie was soft, sweet, and crumbled but still moist and a little bit chewy, totally hit the spot for the end of the meal. All in all, delicious deli sandwiches and sides from Tony's. Not sure about service but the presentation was good, making the ambiance tasteful and inviting.

Due to a terribly inconvenient Amtrak cancellation, the water I packed ran out and my breakfast became a distant memory. I decided to order the garlic pesto turkey sandwich along with a painful bottle of water (For some reason Amtrak has no working water fountains) and small signature mac & cheese for sustenance. My order number was called quickly--too quickly. Staff forgot my mac & cheese, and after a gentle reminder I was presented with a truly small steaming cup. The claim is that the side dish is made with a blend of three cheeses and a touch of spice, but it tastes flat, like melted cheddar cheese mixed with too much milk. My cheese craving was fulfilled, and that would be all Sourdough's signature mac & cheese is good for. It's mediocre. As for the sandwich, what I received wasn't pesto. While I was mentally recalculating my schedule, I noticed what I'm eating should have basil. Peering into what I was chewing, the sandwich was predominantly orange from a sauce I don't recognize and yellow from the mustard. My pesto sandwich wasn't green. No matter, mistakes were made and I'll just save the food for tomorrow. I didn't feel like getting the attention of the employee glued to her phone, crouched out of view behind the counter. I meant to take a picture of my sandwich for this review, but a man kept staring at my bag. He tried asking if he could see my sandwich a few times in broken English. I asked "Do you want my sandwich?" He looked sheepish and said no, no. I asked him again, more firmly. "Well, don't have to. Don't have to have whole sandwich," he said. "You could give half. If you want. Very hungry." I gave my sandwich wordlessly. He gave a quick thank you, unwrapped the package and wolfed down my mediocre leftovers. Again, perhaps I should have fasted, saving a precious $22.50 and bought only water--but at least one man was fed and satisfied.

Ike's is a convenient sandwich spot in midtown with tons (like an entire menu on a wall) of…read moresandwich options. Service is as fast as it can be during lunch hour rush, and I haven't been disappointed yet with my orders. The workers have always been helpful and answered any questions about the menu or even helped with recommendations. The ambiance isn't anything special. It's like most sandwich spots with tables, chairs and a restroom for customers. You're probably not pulling out your laptop to do any work or catch a vibe there unless listening to music and sending emails in a sandwich restaurant is your thing. My go-to order is the Amuna's Tuna on Dutch crunch with everything on it except jalapeños. If you're feeling a little lucky, you can get a combo meal with chips and a drink. They also sell big cookies. You also get a nice caramel apple sucker candy with your order. Like most restaurants these days, and especially restaurants in midtown, you're looking at $15-$20 for a sandwich and combo. It's pricey.

I'm likely in the minority in my opinion, but bear with me. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4, and…read moresticking with a 3 because this shop just didn't measure up ... to me. For starters, Ike's has its own way of doing things: plain mayo is not their thing. Only way to get plain mayo on a sandwich is to get lucky that there's a smidgen still left in a jar in the fridge after they prepare their house spread. They mix GARLIC and gawd knows what else for spices to make their Ike's sauce, so allergies beware. They offer plain mustard, but not plain mayo? For seconds, the sandwich bread is not up to the challenge of holding together the mountain of fillings inside. Pics prove my point. I want to eat a sandwich with my hands, not a plastic fork (or a shovel). And I don't want to wear it, not in public. Proportions, people! One size does not fit all. Now, in fairness, the meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato were fresh, chilled, and flavorful. However, IMHO $2.00+ to add equivalent of half an avocado is robbery when a whole avocado is $1 in the market. Fortunately I arrived when there wasn't another person in the store so I was able order up a plain ham and cheese sub with L, T, and A. The counter person was patient as I attempted to navigate the menu board. I communicated my wish for a simple sandwich and it arrived, albeit ridiculously overstuffed and above my budget expectations. Props for kindness and understanding. My first visit to any shop is always testing how well they do basics. So far, I'm not an Ike's fan. I'm no newcomer to sub sandwiches. At 82, and being a Massachusetts native, I've been a sub girl for at least 75 years, ever since I could wrap my fingers around the perfect sub roll. For more adventurous sandwich people, go for broke! This is your place!

The chickpea salad might be my new fav Sac food item. Staff: very friendly and quick! Everything came out really fast and they were moving thru the line quick too so don't let a long line deter you. Other: they have some great local food, coffee, and snack items to buy. I'm a sucker for cool merch so we snagged a couple of their Starbucks-style water cups and a skull coffee spoon. It was all super reasonably priced which was a nice touch. Looks like they do wine and beer too, my friend and I definitely going to check out the happy hour later this week. Whole place is 10/10

This was one of the most bizarre and unprofessional customer service experiences I've had…read more My ex, who is a regular here, apparently decided that because they were uncomfortable with my presence, they could ask an employee to make my coffee to-go. The employee actually complied, effectively prioritizing a regular customer's personal feelings over treating another paying customer normally. My ex is responsible for managing their own discomfort. A business should not be used as a middleman in someone's personal relationship, and employees certainly shouldn't be participating in that dynamic. What's disappointing is that the establishment had an opportunity to simply remain professional and neutral, but instead chose to entertain what was essentially a personal request. If I had behaved inappropriately, I should have been addressed directly. If there was a genuine safety concern, that should have been communicated through appropriate channels. Neither happened. Being a regular customer does not make someone entitled to determine who else gets to enjoy the establishment, and accommodating that kind of behavior sets an incredibly immature precedent. I expected better from the business.
