I'm glad we have Ike's Love & Sandwiches all the from San Francisco in Houston and wouldn't mind…read morehaving more locations in town. This is the one and only location here and a great stop for all kinds of sandwiches. Their menu includes innovative offerings and iconic flavors, essentially the best of both worlds. If you're craving a classic or simple sandwich, you can get that. However, if you're looking for something special or out of this world, you can also get it. Ike's specializes in sandwiches with their Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce, both unique in its own way. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet, their menu has it all. I personally am not a super fan of the Dutch Crunch bread since I find it a bit too harsh on the palate and somewhat dry, but love the Dirty Sauce (make it extra or on the side). I enjoy subbing the Dutch Crunch with either French or Sourdough. With over 300 unique sandwiches on the menu, there's a sandwich for everyone. My favorites have been the Menage A Trois (halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ Sauce, real honey, pepper jack, swiss, cheddar), Ike's Reuben (pastrami, mack Sauce, purple slaw, gouda), Joker (all beef meatballs, fried zucchini, Ike's red pesto, ranch), and Grant Pinkerton, a Houston exclusive (Pinkerton Brisket, pastrami, BBQ aioli, provolone). All of my sandwiches have been stuffed and tasty, worth it! However, I find some menu items to be subpar in quality and flavor (chicken strips). The service is typically quick, efficient, and friendly. There are more than a handful of tables inside and some out on the patio. The shared parking lot can get very crowded as it is packed with lots of other businesses.

Here's a polished Google review version that keeps it honest but ends strong:…read more Review: I've been an occasional customer since this place first opened. Honestly, in the beginning it was pretty rough, slow service, incorrect orders, and the sandwiches just weren't as good as what I was used to getting in California. That said, I kept coming back every now and then hoping things would improve, and I'm glad I did. My last few visits have been great. The sandwiches have been fresh and really tasty, and the customer service has been solid. I also spoke with Jose, and he mentioned he's been working hard to turn things around, and it definitely shows. Not sure why they don't have more locations yet, but I hope they expand soon!

I ordered the "Roll the Hard Six," and it was fantastic -- tender roast beef, honey mustard, plenty of crunchy goodness, and a sauce that kept me coming back for another bite.

A sandwich sounded good and I liked that I saw online the place was locally owned and star wars / sci-fi themed! Upon arrival I walked up on nice quaint corner shop with patio tables and trees out front. I went inside and saw all the cool decor and happy faces. I ended up ordering their weekly special because i love tomato soup and it didn't disappoint. The ambiance on the patio was great as they had nice music playing and lots of trees with natural sunlight peaking through in a gated private area. I had also ordered a Custom Rye sandwich with Hand shredded turkey, fresh sliced ham, mayo and pesto spread, lettuce and fresh onions, with oil and red wine vinegar, herbs and salt and pepper. And boy oh boy did it steal the show! Upon my first bite my eyes lit up with excitement as my taste buds danced for joy! I was not expecting it to be that dang good! I'm super happy I tried this spot today as I will be a repeat customer! I can't wait to show some friends about it. They were also pretty quick with the service and the lady up front was very sweet!

Tonight we got the seasonal GOAT with pink lady apple, the "Not So Fried" Chicken Sandwich, and a large side of basil pesto salad shells. The seasonal salad was light, fresh, and full of flavor--definitely a hit--but I wasn't the biggest fan of the balsamic dressing it comes with. I swapped it for the Baja Green Goddess dressing, and that combo was perfect. The Not So Fried Chicken Sandwich was a winner as always--never a miss, especially with that mustard marmalade that ties it all together. And honestly, the basil pesto shells might've been the best part of the whole meal--so flavorful and comforting. The staff were super sweet and helpful, and the environment was very family-friendly. Overall, a great experience all around!

I ordered the "Not So Fried" Chicken and shared with my husband. It was very good and reminds me of the Local Foods Chicken Sandwich, but a little better to be honest. I don't feel so lethargic after eating it. It comes with the mustard pickle remoulade and it's delish! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, all covered which makes it nice. We sat on the patio, and after ordering, just scanned the table to let them know where we were seating. Service is efficient and all the workers are very kind and welcoming. A very chill vibe!

I toyed with ideas of the most non nutritious food to order because I felt I deserved it. Something comforting. I decided on a Philly cheesesteak and fries. This was my first time ordering from Pappa Geno's, but I have considered it before. I was going to order from Miller's Cafe because I like theirs, but I get much more from Pappa Geno's. I like that their cheesesteaks are traditional footlong size on a soft hoagie. The Pappa Geno's steak and cheese was filled with thinly sliced steak, melted cheese and mayo. I added mushrooms to mine. They wrap it up in foil paper to keep it nice and warm. If you're really hungry, you can eat the whole thing. If not, you can eat half of it and save the other half for later. The meat was seasoned and on the moist side compared to others. I've been to both rival cheesesteak places (Geno's and Pat's) in Philly, and I thought this was a nice alternative for Houston to have. I think I still prefer the thinly sliced steak flavor from Miller's Cafe. The side of fries are crispy with almost a breading on the exterior. Same fries as Piper's Cantina, if you've ever been. I'm not that into breaded fries like these, but it was good and was a large portion. The sandwich itself is on the pricier side but a decent portion. I'd like to try their other Philly cheesesteak options or add hot oil peppers like the Wicked Philly. Pappa Geno's is a great option if you want a more authentic Philly cheesesteak fix.

As soon as I sat down, someone brought me water. Then, as the waiter took my order and turned to walk away, another gentleman was already dropping off the soda I had ordered. The attention to detail and teamwork were incredible. The food came out surprisingly fast, and everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. And when I say fresh, I mean fresh. The kale salad with the homemade citrus dressing was absolutely amazing I could have drank the dressing by itself. The shaken beef, egg, fried rice, and spring roll were all delicious and cooked perfectly. The hot oil was also fantastic, with just the right amount of spice. From the exceptional service to the quality of the food, everything was top-tier. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try!
