    Italian Sub with lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, jalapeño
    Darlene N.

    Torpedo, sub, hoagie...whichever pleases you, this is the spot for it! In my opinion, there's nothing better than eating a good sub sandwich on the beach and that's exactly what I went looking for today. I ordered on DoorDash and was pleasantly surprised when I opened the perfectly sealed paper bag to find a hefty sized, meticulously wrapped sub with a Boars Head sticker on it. I worked in a sub shop for the majority of my adolescence and can attest that any deli using Boars Head is investing in high quality. I got the Pesto Turkey with provolone, lettuce, tomato, mayo: 5/5, absolutely delicious with perfect portions of fillings to bread and the moistest turkey. & the Italian Sub with provolone, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard and jalapeño: 3/5, I went against my better judgment going with their standard combo of mayo and mustard but it was admittedly too much that took away from the meat/cheese. The jalapeños also definitely packed a punch. Subs of such high quality, I would keep the toppings simple to really appreciate the sub itself unless you really really just want to taste the toppings.

    This was a pleasant surprise to see inside a liquor store. We saw the set up for sandwiches and dove in. We were right to do so because the sandwich was smacking. They were all so nice in there too!! When you walk in, you don'y expect a deli but it's in the back left side. Go get a tasty sandwich!

    WOW. This is the best sandwich in OB. They are so meticulous with detail and they perfectly build the sandwich so every bite has a little bit of something. Good vibes. Good service. And nice atmosphere.

    Santa Monica Ave Sandwich

    I've been going to this place for a while now. They always have good service and they make really good sandwiches. Today we stopped by on our way to the beach to grab something quick and light. We got a Turkey sandwich with all the fixings and the Santa Monica.(A menu veggie sandwich) Both were super fire! Exactly what we wanted! If you have not been here before then, you should check them out if you are in OB!

    Absolutely heavenly perfect ratio of meat, to cheese, to crunchy bacon, and tons of avocado. This is so for good, my favorite sandwich.

    OB Deli Lotus St. Sandwich
    Blaise D.

    There needs to be a sixth star for this review. I honestly can't recall when I had a sando this good, but it was probably in NY. This is the Lotus St. on a wheat roll. Absolutely perfect proportions and flavor balance. It looks like a monster but was still light, not a brick. My gal had the BLT, of matching quality. I am so full now yet already thinking about my next experience here.

    Del Mar Ave. Sandwich was pretty solid!
    Ridge W.

    Great service. Solid sandwich. It was very filling and would go back again. If you need a beach sub go here.

    Solid roast beef sandwich. Probably the only thing I get here. But if you see it give it a try. Toasted.

    Here's a polished version:…read more We absolutely loved our sandwiches from this place. I had what I can confidently call the best pastrami sandwich of my life -- perfectly made and incredibly generous in size. The potato salad was also excellent. Prices are on the higher side, but the portions are so substantial that my sandwich easily covered both lunch and dinner. Honestly, great value when you look at it that way. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    My bf and I split two sandwiches here, and they were both extremely disappointing…read more The #1 barely had any turkey on it, and there was one strip of bacon in the entire sandwich that seemed like it wasn't even cooked. The #12 barely had any pastrami...like 3 small pieces on the entire sandwich, the pepperoncinis were so old & dry and you couldn't even chew them - both of us had to spit them out, pretty gnarly. Thought the menu sounded great, and we'd rather give this place our business than a big chain...but unf we won't be back. $16 each for sandwiches that were mostly shredded lettuce and bread! I'm so sad to leave this review! But also mad that we paid $30+ when we could have made these sandwiches better ourselves. I feel ripped off. The pics here on yelp make the sandwiches look packed with ingredients, and very fresh - that's not actually what you get! Save your money and go somewhere else.

The person helping us was very informative and helpful with making our decision on what we wanted. We went ahead and decided to get the "111" and the "19" (check out menu below to see exactly what we got.) Grabbed 2 bags of chips and ended up getting those for free since it was our first time in. Super nice gesture! Waited about 6-7 minutes for our sandwiches to be ready, which is incredible time if you ask me. Went back to the crib and opened up to the most delicious looking sandwiches ever. Took one bite and I stood up waving my finger at the sandwich saying, "BEST SANDWICH EVER!." Mind you, me, TBG (The Big Gorger), ordered the 111 and thought that was the best, took a bite of Ms Gorgers and stood up again and said, "NOW THAT IS THE BEST SANDWICH!." These were the best tasting sandwiches ever. Everything was so tasteful. The cranberry jam on the number 19 mixed with the sriracha sauce, wow who would have thought about that idea. Ike's has now became my go to sandwich spot. Shoutout to Andrew and Alex who were working there during our visit. Amazing job Ike's! Best, TBG (The Big Gorger)

There are a good amount of tables for dining in, and in the warmer months, there are usually tables on the sidewalk for dining outside. Plenty of parking in the large parking lot.
