And you can even "build your own" Sandwich if the mood strikes you. For their BBQ Plates we've been big fans of their Chicken Plates, any of their Tri-Tip Plates, or simply going for it all with their Combo Plate. And any and all of their sides are pretty tasty. Depending on your mood, the salads of Macaroni, Potato, or Cole Slaw are very good. And their fresh meat selections are all good. Rib Eye, New York Steaks, Chuck Roast, Beef Brisket, Pork Ribs, and Stuffed Chicken Breasts. And now with Summer here, this is THE place to get your BBQ Meats. And you need to check out their Catering Menu. Lots of specialty plates for special occasions, and I am looking forward to getting their Holiday Offerings. Look for their trucks in the parking lot, which is on Calle Real, and is the same lot as Dune Coffee and Bowlero Santa Barbara.

Being a UCSB student, I've had my fair share of experiences with IV Deli. Let me start by saying, the reason i give IV Deli 3 stars is because of their customer service and what they stand for. These guys are so money hungry and greedy it really makes me wonder how they survive in a college town where students are strapped for cash. Since freshman year (I'm now a senior) I think they've raised the price of their sandwiches about 3 times. Yes they're good, but are they really worth 10 bucks when Subway is doing 5 dollar footlongs? I think not. Aside from that, they try to jack the prices up on everything, and i mean EVERYTHING. A stupid scantron that costs 25 cents at the IV bookstore, is 50 cents at the Deli Mart. One time when i was 5 cents short and almost late for my test, he tells me, "sorry boss, 5 cents is 5 cents". ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? And stop calling me boss too... On top of that, they charge a ridiculous fee if you decide to use your credit card, i mean c'mon, get over yourselves... Now I'm not going to entirely hate on IV Deli because their sandwiches do taste damn good at 2 AM and they deliver. They're also the only place i know in IV that does the 2 for 1 Blunt special. So.... take what you will from this review, but I have made it a point to avoid IV Deli unless absolutely necessary or its 2 AM and I'm blasted out of my mind in the mood for a sandwich. read more

Wow, i read the last review & it was spot on hahaha! IV deli sucks alot. Their delivery time is terrible, the lines take extra long especially when its crowded, & the fat guy with the hat is kinda weird & the employees are a bit off.... BUT REGARDLESS ITS THE BEST IN IV...like their chicken shawarma wrap is heavenly. Their wings & fries are the best thing in the world when you're drunk. I mean, i hate you IV deli but i freakin love you.... Long story short, delicious deli food but their service sucks & expect to wait 30-1:30hrs to get your delivery. read more

I used to work here and i'm going to be so brutally honest this place is so incredibly unsanitary. During the brief time i worked here i got food poisoning from the food three different times. The cooks never wash their hands and i've watched them send out food that they dropped on the ground and i kid you not lick their fingers while preparing food. i would not recommend eating here if you don't want food poisoning. Trust me you're better off getting food from literally anywhere else in iv. read more

At 3:20pm today, I placed an order of fries, taquitos, 1 wrap, and 2 shakes. An hour later, my food arrives. I paid via debit card, so i tipped online, and the delivery guy hands over the food and says "thanks for the tip." sounded a little lippy to me. Well, my friends and I open our food, and find both shakes with flat whipped cream on top in a small little strange mess and the shake completely melted, room temperature. So were the fries. the wrap and the taquitos were pretty good however. read more
