Ike's Love Sandwiches - Santa Barbara

The best sandwich I’ve ever had!! Currently sitting in a food haze while I try to process how good it was. ?

The first time I came here I was mesmerized by my sandwich. I ordered the almost a vegetarian sandwich and it was quite delicious. The staff was quick and even offered me a lollipop with my sandwich. I haven't tried any other sandwiches- since the first I tried is super bomb. I like how they have indoor and some outdoor seating.

Clean establishment. If youve never had ikes its definetley worth a try. Price is reasonable too.

As a lover of hot sandwiches, I like this place in principle but I have yet to be truly inspired in practice. The sandwiches never seem quite hot enough, and tepid is...meh. The house crunchy bread has a top that sometimes crackles nicely, other times lands in the wrong place. They have bottled drinks, but the soda machine seems permanently out to lunch. Staff is usually very friendly and accommodating; I have been there maybe 5-6 times. On my last visit, though, we were advised we would have to wait fifteen minutes because the three staffers were working on a catering order. I couldn 't quite understand why *one* of them couldn 't tend to the two parties of clients waiting while the other two continued to work on the big order. After 18 minutes, we did finally get our sandwiches, but the experience left me questioning whether I will return.

Never ordered from there before. Got a Matt Cain on Dutch Crunch bread. Excellent! Not sure what Godfather sauce it, but was very good.
