    First time trying this place ! Across the street from Dantorels inside the Curtis Park Market in the very back !

    New favorite spot unlocked ! Easy to miss but good to find ! Inside Curtis park market in the far back. The staff is great there is space to sit and eat inside so don't be discouraged to go into the market and check this place out ! Food was fresh and full of flavor !

    Good sandwich shop in the heart of Curtis Park. We usually stop at Curtis Park market for the excellent selection of IPAs in the back case, but this deli gives us another good reason. Fresh produce, good selection, good service. Decent prices. My only complaint is you can't open a beer and have it with your food like you can at 515. Darn liquor licenses. Aren't I spoiled?

    Grabbing a bite for lunch, we decided to get sandwiches from 2nd Avenue Deli. This sandwich spot is located inside the Curtis Park market. Usually, it looks like they have a few tables for guests to eat their sandwiches there; however, with the current social distancing situation, they are encouraging guests to take their sandwiches to-go. You can phone in your order ahead of time and pick it up when it's ready. They have a nice selection of sandwiches, both hot and cold, as well as paninis and melts. You can also build your own sandwich, choosing from a variety of breads, meats, spreads, cheeses, and toppings. I ordered the classic turkey club on a French roll. I ordered the whole size and the sandwich was huge! My fiancé got the Ruben on rye. And my dad also ordered a deconstructed version of the Reuben. They both thoroughly enjoyed their sandwiches. Since this spot is located inside the Curtis Park market, you can pick your chips and beverages from items in the market. You pay for your sandwich at the cash register for the market and pick your sandwich up from the deli when it is ready. It's great to have another local sandwich shop option that offers a nice variety of sandwiches for a reasonable price.

    Friendly spot with some good Sandos. Wish it was open Sundays. Unlike most delis, you can pair with something from their excellent craft brew selection.

    Left coast blonde sando

    Just tried this deli since it's close to my office. Ordered the left coast blonde, and swapped out the sliced sourdough for a ciabatta roll, everything else as is. The sandwich was missing the cucumber and avocado as listed on the menu. Pretty disappointed since it was on their list of sandwiches, it's not like I did a build your own. Aside from that the sandwich was very delicious (of course would've been better with avocado). I will go back though since it was yummy!

    Been hearing from countless people how great Corti Brothers sandwiches are. I've been to this…read morespecialty market a few times for random things. Most recently was a bourbon release and then a Wolfburn whiskey release. Couldn't get the bourbon as they sold out while I was still in line but oh well. Was on the way to Folsom and stopped here for lunch with my wife. First off the ordering procedure was easy enough for a first timer without too much instruction. Fill out a sandwich form and deposit in the tray. Simple as that. A lot of people were waiting for their sandwiches. I noticed late that there was an online ordering set up as well. Wait wasn't too bad at all even with the crowd waiting for their sandwich order. On to the sandwich. We ordered a Corti Brothers special. Why not right? It's their name sake sandwich and we figured great for a first time. Our chances were Dutch crunch, no tomatoes but all of the other veggies add jalapeños. The sandwich comes with a sandwich maker's random meat choice from my understanding and whoever made our sandwich knew what they were doing. Prosciutto, salami, turkey, and a few other Italian meats that honestly I couldn't remember how to spell but were great. The whole sandwich fed me and my wife easily making us full. Great flavor and made us very happy. We'll be back to try other sandwiches and see which one we like. I'm partial to hot pastrami and I saw they had a pastrami choice. Great place we enjoyed it a lot.

We expected more flavor, especially with the extra pate. There was a ton of pate since he requested it, but something was missing. Maybe the scrambled eggs took away some of the other flavors, but overall, it was much blander than a typical banh mi. The bread was crispy as expected, but the overall taste was disappointing. We know how popular this spot is, so maybe we just ordered the wrong thing! 3/5 RAU CAU ~ Multi-layered coconut pandan agar gelatin. I tried this when I got home, and wow, it was a sugar overload!! I'm used to less-sugary gelatins, and this was way sweeter than Jell-O! Sadly, I didn't care for it. I might try dicing it up and mixing it with something else to balance out the sweetness. 3/5 I guess you really need to know what's good here. You just can't pick anything and expect it to be a winner. Hit or miss!

Upon walking in, the music was so loud it was overstimulating, making it hard to even hear the cashier. They were already out of sourdough and wheat bread, and the Arnold Palmer I ordered tasted almost entirely like lemonade. The sandwiches were prepared quickly and looked great initially, but while eating mine, I bit down on something hard and spit out a piece of glass. Finding glass in food is a serious safety hazard that could cause severe harm. I called immediately, and they offered a refund or a replacement sandwich. When I returned around 3:15 PM, the shop was closing early because they ran out of bread entirely. When I mentioned my call to the staff member up front, she dismissed me, saying she couldn't help because they were out of bread. After I clarified that I just wanted the refund I agreed on with the manager, she handed me off to someone else without another word. Instead of an apology for serving a dangerous foreign object in my food, the staff handed me cash (even though I paid by card) and essentially brushed me off with a poor attitude. Mistakes happen, but finding glass in my meal combined with zero accountability or basic customer service ensures I will never return

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.

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!
