Stopped there on the way back from the airport and didn't expect the sandwiches to be so effing good. So worth it. Pro tip: call in your order if you're coming right around lunch time otherwise be prepared to wait a good 20 mins for your sammy. A few seats outside if you want to enjoy it nice and fresh. Highly recommended!

Robert has the best electricity ever and made my sandwich, as he is definitely the best sandwich maker known to man! ( hey boss, give this dude a raise! ) This Pastrami sandwich is totally loaded, and so delicious and juicy, that you want to chomp it down fast, but don't do that. Take your time and enjoy the best of the best! Parking is easy in back with ample seating outside. The big unknown bonus is that you get a free Cole-slaw condiment to compliment the pastrami sandwich, just ask!

Sweet: We ordered a variety of sandwhiches. The best one was the Manhattan. It's a hot pastrami sandwich on an onion roll. The chipotle pasta salad is very good as well. Sour: The other sandwiches we ordered was the torpedo and California sandwich. Nothing to rave about. Definitely will be back more often for the Manhattan. I would give a higher star if it weren't for the other sandwiches.

Hey guys, The Big Gorger here, was in the mood for some sandwiches today so Ms Gorger and I had…read moredecided to stop in and try Ike's. Was greeted with warm welcomes and good energy. 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)

You order at the register, and they bring your food out to your table. They're dog-friendly, which is great. They even have dog treats available, which is always a nice touch for those of us dining with our pups. I ordered the: *The Philly: Absolutely phenomenal. They offer two sizes, and I went with the small, which ended up being the perfect portion. If you're craving a great Philly cheesesteak, this one definitely delivers. *Hazy IPA (On Tap): They have an impressive beer selection with several beers on tap in addition to canned options. They were out of the IPA I originally wanted, but the employee recommended another hazy IPA that ended up being a great substitute. My only complaint was the pricing. The menu listed the craft beer at $6, but it only showed one price. I was surprised when my large ended up costing $12. It would've been helpful if both sizes and prices were clearly listed. Despite that, the service was excellent. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to come out, and the employee who took my order was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, the food was outstanding, the service was fantastic, and I love that you can enjoy a quality craft beer with an authentic Philly cheesesteak. If you're looking for one of the better cheesesteaks around, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

I was craving an Italian sandwich so I got their torpedo sandwich (hot=toasted). You can really…read moretaste the sesame seeds on the bread. Wish I got it cold because you are prone to a lot of crumbs with the toasted bread. It's like how bolilo bread always ends up with crumbs. Heavier on the mortadella than the salami. Dressing was pretty plain. It was a solid Italian sandwich but I think their meatball sandwich is probably better. That's what a lot of people were ordering. Service was fast. You order thru a window. Better to order ahead and just take it to go. They have limited outdoor seating. Good spot for a quick bite to eat in the neighborhood. Very casual. Street parking so it can be a hit or miss with how easy parking can be. There's a designated 15 min parking right in front of it if you ordered ahead.

Half a sandwich will absolutely fill you. The rich boy had spicy chicken and the super Mario had bell pepper spread which made it sweet. We both got the Dutch crunch bread. It was okay. Curious to try the other breads. Each sandwich came with a mini cookie - delightful!!! All in all solid sandwiches but not the best ones I've had in San Diego. Service was fast and friendly! There is barstool seating outside and to the left of the restaurant is an indoor dining area. Parking is paid street. Depends on the time you're there but it can get pretty busy so just be prepared.

You must order it hot so the oils melt into the Italian bread and the cheese gets gooey. It's $13.49, a good deal. The cannoli is hand made to order. Staff is very nice. The restaurant is small and made for grab n go. There are a few small tables on the sidewalk. This Italian, melted is incredible.

I suggest adding oil and vinegar to it. This was the first time, and I meant to say no mayo, but it all worked out even better! So now if I ordered this again, that's how I'll do it. The two guys that work the counter and make the sandwiches are great! Always friendly and upbeat! Sometimes I will get a couple cookies which are delicious too!
