    I was really hungry and just needed a sandwich. I didn't want a ban mi or Subway, just something different. Searched on Yelp and Monroe's came up. It was a little far from work but I wanted to get away from there so I ventured out. It's a great location though parking can be a challenge. I just parked a little in the red in front. The people are really nice. I ordered a turkey and ham sandwich with cheddar. It was made with such care that everything in the sandwich was a perfect balance. They also have some sandwich combinations that look good too! I wandered around while waiting and found Olipop...that lemon ginger soda was really good, as was the cream soda. I normally don't drink soda but I'll make an exception for something different. Definitely worth coming to!

    BLT plus extra vegis, yummmmm

    Best corner store ever! Teddy, Evan, Sherry, Kelly and the entire squad are the absolute best. If you ever need anything at all, they probably have it. And if they don't, just ask and chances are they will find it for you. Sandos = 10/10, we probably eat one at least once a week...

    Attractively Priced and so delicious I'm really serious when I say this was so good! Family owned market deli. The owners were so warm and welcoming, I even saw them melt when a local came by with their dog, giving the doggo a treat. Just lovely! It's hard to find a sandwich of this size generously stuffed for well under $15! I can see why this was rated high on Yelp. Support local.

    Chipotle Chicken Sandwich

    Just discovered this wonderful deli and market while walking my granddaughter. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken with bacon and avocado on toasted sourdough. It was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The staff is nice, the area clean and all the ingredients are fresh. The market has many items you don't find in other stores today. I will be back.

    YUMMM! The chipotle chicken sandwich (with red vine vinaigrette added) was perfection! Everything I want from a sandwich! Super kind staff and easy to order, grabbed some drinks at the market to have with our lunch

    Cajun chicken wrap

    Stopped by and got a wrap Togo on a Saturday afternoon. I got the Cajun chicken which is usually a sandwich but I ordered it wrap style. I placed my order over the phone which was quick and easy! It only took about 20 minutes which was fairly quick for a weekend lunch rush hour. The wrap was heavy on the lettuce. I felt like because of this, some of the other flavors were a bit lost. I would give it another try! Cute, quaint, deli spot in north park. Very convenient if you're in the area.

    Note: photos are of half of each sandwich These were delicious and fresh sandwiches with a very home-made feel. All of the ingredients were tasty, the only thing I would ask for is a little more meat. I would come back here! Taste: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4/5

    I had a #18 Mediterranean Chicken Wrap on spinach tortilla. It was very crisp, tasty and satisfying. I was only able 1/2 because they are a pretty hearty size. Very friendly staff and a lot of "sides" and drinks to pick from in the store. My new go to place when I'm in the area for sure!

    This place is one of the top 5 best sandwich shops in San Diego hands down. They also serve salads,…read moresoups, and some awesome sides. I heard they're going to start serving beer and wine soon as well! *Best 1st-timer options*: The Keeper (if you like it spicy) or the L.G.B.T. My favorite hot sandwiches are the Cali Cubano, B3, and The Keeper, while my favorite cold sandwiches are the Avocado Highway, L.G.B.T. (lettuce, gouda, bacon, tomato), and Caprese. My favorite salads are the Grapevine and Duck Cranberry. For sides I recommend the potato salad and tomato basil bisque. The aioli they use is to die for -- can't hurt to get a side of it with any sandwich! The restaurant is situated on the corner of Park Blvd. and Polk Ave. (more generally, it's on the strip of Park Blvd. between University Ave. and El Cajon Blvd.). There is usually a good amount of parking on Park Blvd. and Polk Ave., which is nice. The space has a simple-yet-tasteful modern design and interior, is always clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Great for lunch hour or a weekend date. Update: Came back today with my friend and we ordered the B3 and the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwiches, plus sides of potato salad and cucumber salad, and a double chocolate cookie with pistachio and sea salt. Everything was really good, but the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwich was the star of the show. The cookie was great too. We both agreed the potato salad could use some salt, but besides that it was a solid meal all around.

    Big Front Door has quickly become a new favorite for sandwiches, and visiting two days in a row…read moremade that very clear. On the first visit, Zack provided exceptional care and attention while helping navigate food allergies. Zack took the time to carefully check ingredients, double-check preparations, and personally come back out to verify everything to ensure safety. That level of care made the experience feel genuinely welcoming and stress-free. The chicken sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and thoughtfully balanced. Juicy chicken, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a bright splash of oil and vinegar came together beautifully on Big Front Door's roll, which had a great texture and held everything together well. The flavors were clean and vibrant. A little extra salt would have pushed it over the top for a salt-lover, but that came down to personal preference rather than any shortcoming. A dining companion ordered the avocado sandwich and could not stop raving about it, praising both the flavor and the freshness. The outdoor seating area deserves special mention. The shaded space was perfect as I do have sun allergies, especially for anyone who prefers relief from direct sun. The care taken in food preparation added an extra layer of comfort and trust. The second visit somehow raised the bar even higher. Micah went above and beyond to accommodate physical ability needs with patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. That effort did not go unnoticed and made the experience feel deeply respectful and inclusive. The roasted chicken sandwich ordered on the second visit was phenomenal. The roasted chicken was tender, savory, and full of depth, elevating the sandwich even further. Adding a bit of extra salt brought all the ingredients into perfect harmony, making every bite more satisfying than the last. This sandwich has officially earned a spot as a new favorite sandwich. Big Front Door was amazing not just for delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, but for the people who work there. Zack and Micah created an environment where care, kindness, and respect were clearly prioritized. No moment felt rushed, dismissive, or uncomfortable. At no point did anyone make the experience feel like a burden or inconvenience. A sincere thank-you also goes to the team members who prepared the food. Even without knowing names, the care taken to keep guests safer while serving delicious nourishment was evident and deeply appreciated. Big Front Door comes highly recommended for the flavorful sandwiches, the shaded outdoor space, the welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and the genuine kindness shown at every action.

The 2 "Bulletproof" coffees were the biggest disappointment. They tasted like a bitter cup of hotel drip coffee with coconut oil added. I pointed out to the barista that a Bulletproof usually has grass-fed butter to give it creaminess. She said they didn't have any butter. :( We ended up pouring out our coffees on the walk home. Maybe the South Park Meraki location is better, but I would not recommended this location University Heights. We'll be sticking to Communal Coffee next time.

I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

Brought the sandwich home and it was still good and not soggy. Pickle spear was good. Can't rate the potato salad cus I'm not really a fan but it was a little crunchy. This is a must try. Avoid other deli's in north park area. This one was less expensive and tasted better! I'll be back.

    I was really excited about going to Ike's to try out their sandwiches but to assert that my…read moreexpectations were not only destroyed but put to shame for ever thinking highly of them would be an understatement. I came in and immediately the woman working in the front I could tell was rude and radiating negative energy. I am witnessing a common theme about this with many of the other people who have left negative reviews about this establishment. You guys also seem to reply and pretend like you resolve the issue but there have been multiple review follow-ups where people claim you guys do not actually make up for the horrible service. Anyway, I walk in and immediately I have to wait a long time to order and I can tell that the guy in front of me has been there a while already. Finally, I place my order and the lady is so awfully rude. Every answer I had for her questions made me feel that I had done something wrong even though I was very nice and just there for a simple thing: to get a sandwich. I usually greet people and ask how they are doing but she got directly to business. I understand that she was busy but she was immediately unwelcoming. "What kind of bread would you like?" (I do not see the bread on the menu when I immediately look up so I reply, "white (I will admit there are many different types of bread but I did not know what they have and usually when I order somewhere I just say white and they know what I am talking about or politely ask for clarification) *she rolls her eyes* "french, sourdough, Dutch?" Then, she asked me if I wanted lettuce and tomato. I replied, "just lettuce please" and again she makes me feel dumb for just ordering. I ask if the sandwich comes with mayonnaise because it was not listed but there were additional items on it and she says that they do not have mayonnaise but another sauce as if mayonnaise is a crazy request. "Can I get a name for the order?" "Jessica" "Jessica?" like my name is ugly or something and not like she could not hear me. At this point I am picking apart everything that she uttered but seriously such an unhappy woman with no hospitality skills. Trust me on this and either experience it yourself or read some other 1-star reviews if you do not believe me. She then walked away as I was still paying so I could not even ask for a receipt or anything. This was essentially the extent of my direct experience with the woman in the front but I witnessed more things happening to other customers while I was waiting for my sandwich for a really long time. Apparently an order kept getting rung up and people kept coming in trying to pick it up but it had already been picked up and the woman would say "communicate this. someone already picked it up" with a huge attitude like it was their fault there was a glitch in the system. I also took notice that there was a big order for 4:30 and when the order was finished, one of the male workers went over and served himself a drink from the soft drinks dispenser and when he was handing the woman all of the many bags, he took a break to take a drink out of his cup. I think it also important that I add she had already been given 5-6 bags and was caring a lot and he was not coughing and desperately needed water and I do not even think there was water in the cup. I will also say though that all of the customers waiting were very friendly and understanding that they were busy and I am too but there was no reason to be rude and lack the principles of basic costumer service. I work with people too and we all have bad days but by the looks of these other reviews, this is a very common occurrence. I am glad people are willing to speak up about this. Another thing I noticed was that apparently someone's order was not in the system and they made the person feel so bad for it and that it was their fault except with all of these problems, it is highly likely that this could have been the establishment's fault but they never even entertained this. I might also add that the woman that took my order when she was making sandwiches I saw her cough into her hands (no gloves mind you) and then grab the *at least it was* wrapped sandwich and put it in the bag. I wanted to try this place because it was close to my campus and I will say that the sandwich tasted good but it was nowhere near worth the horrible aura I experience while being at Ike's. I will surely never spend another dime at Ike's and encourage my friends to not support a business that does not prioritize cleanliness and kindness. Even when they packed up my order, the same man who was taking sip breaks handing a woman her order, was throwing my stuff together and gave me a tiny bag when he saw I was also holding my chips and drink. That was not very thoughtful if you ask me but I would not expect thoughtfulness after what I had already endured from this sandwich joint. I think Ike's would benefit from a personality change and should consider improving their warmth and helpful nature.
