We ordered the Old School and Traditional sandwich and a side of maduro. We also got the pork and chicken arepas. Everything was freshly cooked and delicious. My favorite was the chicken arepas, it was juicy and cheesy with a tasty green sauce! I'd definitely come back to try their other menu items, especially their bowls, croquettes, and Cuban coffee!

Service: 4/5. The service was ok and was a little bit of a wait to get the food, so just note that it can take a bit if you are in a hurry. For how good the food is, I was a bit surprised to not see more people come through for noon on a weekday. Atmosphere: 4/5. It is located in a strip mall and kind of tucked back and hidden. The parking was a little hard due to the location. I love the inside: very cozy was some great music. The tables have photos on them that are really cool too! Overall, such great food and I hope to go back!

All veggies were very fresh Parking was limited with a small parking lot in the back and street parking. Welcomed by friendly staff that grabs your order over the counter and then they send you to get in line to pay at the register. You can also place online orders. The wait wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon and definitely worth it. Easily became one of my new fav sandwich shops!

I ordered the Toscana sandwich with 24-month prosciutto, burrata, truffle honey, and arugula, and I can confidently say it was the best sandwich I've ever had in my life--and that's coming from someone who has traveled all over Europe, including Italy. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and the combination of flavors was just unreal. I got mine extra toasted, and it came out perfect--warm, crispy, and honestly tasted like it was made fresh out of the garden. The quality really stands out. On top of that, the staff were super friendly and made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The price is absolutely worth it for the quality you're getting.

Upon arrival, the restaurant is very cute with nice decor & really cool inside. We arrived at the time our sandwiches should've been ready, but we still had to wait 15 minutes. (The restaurant only had us in there & one group walked in after.) we weren't in a rush so we didn't really mind, but be mindful of the long waits if you're on a time crunch. When we finally got our sandwiches, we took them to go & the Lucia's Club was delicious! It was packed with a lot of meat & flavor, a good bite on to grab on the way home. The BCE was just alright, a little too dry for my taste. However, I'd still come back to try more of their signature sandwiches because the club did NOT disappoint!

They have some great items on their menu a cracked pepper turkey sandwich is always good and I was like the pesto as well, the quality of produce is often lacking, and I usually end up, pulling them out as they'll give you the heels of the tomatoes. I've tried the French dip as well. They could've added some more meat to it. It felt like a giant bread sandwich with au jus. Service is hit or miss as well, but I try not to attack anyone working food jobs as it's not easy and you never know what the customer was like before me so no hate on them. Price is up there as well.

I ordered a Greek Coffee, so named as it's made with milk, and it was an excellent pairing with the cheese and toasted almond croissant. Rich flavor and a perfect size for the strength.

One of the ladies at the counter was kind enough to explain subtle taste differences between the spice bottles, there are actual dry rub spices and there are bottles of barbecue sauce in different sublime flavors. There is a very long front counter at the meat/deli with different side dishes which traditionally accompany the barbecued meats, such as a counter with cooked meats to order to eat, a counter of deli meats and cheeses, plus a counter of raw meats to purchase to take meat home in order to do your own barbecuing or baking at home. Various shoppers were buying food to eat there, the place has several small tables along the interior walls to sit down and eat, other people bought meat to go, either the already barbecued meat, or raw meat or deli meat to go. I tried out the tequila lime half rack of ribs, which I brought home for dinner. It was tasty, nicely barbecued and seasoned, and does go perfectly with whatever sides you choose to buy. There are plenty of choices if you feel like buying barbecue or deli, especially when you don't feel like prepping the grill outside for your barbecued meals. This is also a place you can cater for a large party, there's a catering menu where you can pre-order your meats, whatever you'd want to serve when you're planning to entertain your guests or tail gate. I would come here again if I'm in the area, having barbecue without cooking is a very good choice, especially if you're too lazy to fire up the barbecue pit at home. There is plenty of parking at the lot available locate in the front of the store. Do try Kinder's if you're wanting to take a break from driving the long 680 freeway in the SF East Bay, it's a little off the beaten track for just a few miles, but if you live in the East Bay, it's a drive completely worth it in order to avoid cooking barbecue yourself!

I ordered the [Name of the Girl I'm Dating] and it was straight-up the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Juicy halal chicken, creamy avocado, sweet honey mustard, melty pepper jack cheese, all on that perfectly toasted Sourdough bread with their legendary Dirty Sauce -- every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. Massive portion too; I was full for hours. What really stood out was the excellent customer service. The whole team was friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. The shop itself is super clean and tidy, with good seating, nice music playing, and spotless, well-stocked bathrooms, little details that make a big difference. Bonus highlight: I actually met the manager from this location at my job recently, and he hooked me up with a free sandwich. Huge props and shoutout to him and the team that kind of generosity and connection doesn't go unnoticed! If you're anywhere near Concord, do yourself a favor and stop by this Ike's for lunch (or dinner). Amazing food, great vibes, and outstanding service. This location is a gem 10/10, will definitely be back soon!

I wanted to give this Italian deli a try, so I decided to go with their Dagwood Sandwich. When I…read morelooked at the menu for online ordering, I got super confused because they had the Dagwood listed under 3 different sections. 2 of them had a starting price of around $17, while one had a starting price of around $13. I figured I'd go with the $13 one, why not? Then I quickly realized that the ordering system was a whole mess. It gave me the option to customize my sandwich, but some of the required fields didn't make any sense at all. For example, I don't like olives, but it required me to select olives. Then there were 2 separate sections for extra meat and extra ingredients, and those were required too, and both came with additional charges!!! I thought requiring customers to add extra ingredients and charging them extra because of that was totally ridiculous. If I don't want extra meat or extra ingredients, I should be able to leave those options blank and still place my order. But I couldn't proceed to place my order if I didn't select those. I ended up trying to go with the $17 option instead with minimal customization options. I eventually just placed the order, went to the store, and picked it up. As for the sandwich itself, it was pretty standard in size and the quality was decent, but there really wasn't much going on inside. It was basically just bread, meat, and cheese. There weren't even any vegetables! No lettuce whatsoever. I thought that was really weird for a sandwich to be very bare like this, especially given that the final total cost was $19 for a single sandwich from a small deli. I expected a lot more from a sandwich at that price! Again, the sandwich wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was worth $19.
