We spent a beautiful day in Santa Barbara! After walking along the beach for some time, we…read morerealized that lunchtime was coming up so we decided to head towards State St. for options. As we were talking and admiring the area, we found ourselves further out than we had planned. But it turned out for the best because we ended up at Ike's Love & Sandwiches. It was our first time, so the menu seemed a bit overwhelming. The husband decided to try the Doc Gonzo (Crew's Choice) while I chose the Jaymee Sirewich. WOAH -- so fresh and so, so good -- and that dirty sauce is seriously addicting! The staff members were friendly and super-patient. They stayed pleasant and helpful with every customer throughout the crazy busy lunch rush. There's a fair amount of seating inside and outside. Good parking in the back. Really nice experience. There are MANY, many more sandwiches to try -- so needless to say, we'll be visiting other Ike's locations closer to home!

The sandwiches were very fresh, savory, crunchy, crispy, flavorful, and delicious. Also, there is a…read moregood selection of tasty and salty potato chips and refreshing sodas to choose from, good service, nice atmosphere, and I had such an excellent experience here today.

The vegan menu keeps growing! I ordered my favorite, the Mango Mint salad, but noticed that the dressing is Miso based. We also ordered the Vegan Sweetheart Burrito, Vegan Bahn-Mi, & Vegan Nam Toc Burrito. Thumbs up, or should I say 5 stars, to all of the good. A Side salad or chips came with everyone's order except for the salad. Friendly staff, plenty of indoor and outdoor (parklet) seating. Fun decor as well.

So unfortunate that this place has gone so far downhill in recent times. Last three times i have…read morebeen here i got a bad stomach ache. I think its the lettuce. A prices have done nothing but go up. Spent $42 on a meal for two, no drinks or sides just two mains. Crazy. The wait staff is more and more aloof, but they do an acceptable job. I enjoy the live music and i'll be honest the food does taste good, but a $42 tummy ache for two ain't worth it! They do serve espresso in case you want to feel the tummy ache immediately instead of waiting until the next day, at least that's an option!

This was my first stop of the morning and I was hungry and didn't want to wait too long anywhere else. Therefore, I stumbled upon this cafe which was not crowded. Their menu is diverse, they include dessert, lunch, alcoholic drinks, etc. I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage: W/GRILLED POTATOES, MAC & CHEESE, SCRAMBLED EGG & SAUSAGE Very flavorful, unique and the mac & cheese was a new one to me. A high carb burrito to get me going while I continued to explore downtown SB. 5/5 I also ordered an orange juice, really delicious and fresh. 5/5 loved it. I sat facing the beach and it was very relaxing. I enjoyed my breakfast here and overall a nice experience.

So happy we found something close to the water that wasn't all seafood and that my husband could…read moreenjoy. He is not a big seafood guy, and when you're by the water, it feels like every restaurant usually specializes in seafood. Happy Cat Eats had a chicken sandwich that looked really appealing to him. After we got our food from the wharf, we drove over and sat at their outdoor tables while we waited for his order. The chicken sandwich was DELICIOUS. I actually liked it a little more than my own food and almost traded with him. Too bad he doesn't like clam chowder! The onion rings he ordered were just as good. The tempura batter was a 10/10. It wasn't oily at all, which is the key to a good tempura fry. We loved the weather, and all the tables had cover, which made it even better. It was a beautiful day made even better by their food.

My go to's are the Canon Capicola Club and The Goodland club. Highly recommend adding the Crispy Capicola to your sandwich. Such a great add on and gives it a nice crispy texture like potato chips. The sandwiches are more than filling and made with top quality ingredients. On my latest visit, I ordered the Smytty Burger. It was only $8.95 for their daily special. I asked for the chorizo aioli on the side, because I like to control spreads on my burger. Unfortunately, they still added the chorizo aioli on my burger and I was too hungry to let them know. I managed to scrape it off with a knife. The burger was good, but the buns were cold. It would have been nice if they had toasted them. Aside from the mishap, the burger did its thing and my tummy was satisfied. Overall, the sandwiches are what you come for! They're always delicious and prepared perfectly. Staff is always friendly here and the ambiance is casual and welcoming.

The NYC: If you don't like a dry sandwich and prefer to have a bit of veg with your meals, this…read morewould be my recommendation. The coleslaw doesn't make the sandwich too soggy as the bread is thick enough to soak up any extra sauciness. Pastrami Dip: The au jus is rich and flavorful, infused with the essence of pastrami. I would say this is good to share as well if you run into parts of your sandwich that are bit harder. Corned Beef: A little bit tough for my personal taste but also a good pick if you prefer to have a meal that isn't as rich. Pastrami & Cheese: If plain pastrami on rye isn't enough for you, the cheese does make a huge difference. The pastrami is tender and juicy and the cheese just amplifies the overall flavor, adding to the overall mouthfeel. This one is the winner in my book! Service is fast and efficient. No frills. However, it's a good idea to know what you want beforehand because I completely missed that there was the option to buy a half instead of a full sandwich and if you don't specify you get a full sandwich. We had a lot of leftovers. The interior is cozy - I wouldn't bring a party of ten expecting to all be able to sit together. It's got more of an old-school vibe with it's layout and decor. There's a photo of Guy Fieri as Norton's was featured on Triple D. It's hard enough to get a good pastrami sandwich so Norton's is not one to miss!

Pastrami was lean, sliced thin, and loaded up in my sandwich. More pickles please and thank you
