Ikes Love & Sandwiches in Vallejo

Waiting time a bit longer than usual. Brought two new guests with me, was surprised that they didn’t receive a free bag of chips (as I did when I first came to Ike’s). Otherwise, flavor and texture were on point as usual. Friendly service. Clean bathroom. Thanks!

First visit to Ikes was good. The sandwiches were ok, but customer service THAT 1st time was great that we decided to come back again the next week. 2nd visit will unfortunately be the LAST. I dont know what was going on with the staff that evening of October 11th, but the welcoming experience and good customer skills we got the previous week were just not there this last time. Lady at counter never greeted us, we stood at counter for several mins before she even came to counter, stared at us and said nothing until we said hi. She was repeatedly distracted, socializing w co-worker in food prep area, and it seemed WE the customers were interrupting their good time. As we tried to start telling her our order, she would continue talking to coworker in back, All the while we were in mid-sentence trying to continue telling her our order, cutting uss off when she continued talking w coworker in the back. Frankly it was just strange, odd behavior. This time our sandwich order was missing items and bread was never toasted as requested as well, so that also sealed it for both of us. Its unfortunate because although the product was overall ok, the experience was NOT this time, and thats part of good business too. Consistency is key, but it just wasnt there on our 2nd visit. At least we tried the famous Ikes shop twice. ✌🏼

Good sandwich, but it wasnt what I ordered. Supposed to have vegan fried chicken, had some kind of sliced turkey instead. Im fine with substitutions, but no one at the counter said anything.Side note, if youre going to offer vegan options, how about you dont put caramel pops in the bag. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Will not be returning.

Delicious vegan sandwiches, well made by friendly staff. I will keep going back because there are very few vegan choices in Vallejo and Benicia. Can recommend the Bulgogi Beef.

I placed an order through Uber eats and the majority of the order was incorrect. I ordered the Matt Cain wirh red onions, pickles, banana peppers and jalapeños; made it a combo with starry soda and voodoo heat chips. I also ordered a strawberry calypso.What I receivedThe Matt Cain contains 3 types of meats which you wouldnt be able to tell because they were so skimpy with all 3 of them was missing the banana peppers on half the sandwich and the jalapeños were missing completely. Instead of starry soda I received what tasted like a flavored ice tea but had no ice. Instead of the strawberry calypso I received a mango jarritos. The chips were the only part of the order that was 100% correct.Its unbelievable that an order of 4 items could be so wrong.

The Halal sandwiches itself always hits the spot but the services can be very slow. If you order online sometimes there systems don’t work and or over the phone it takes forever to reach someone to make the order.

So today 5/18/22 I ordered 2 Hot mamas and 1 Dr pepper, and a bag of chips. One sandwich i ordered with jalapeños and didnt get them which i could have lived with if only the second sandwich was eatable. I ordered that one with avocado and the sandwich was slathered in so much buffalo sauce and avocado that the bread was falling apart and the wrapper was drenched. I will never order from this Ike’s again. Whats even more frustrating is I tried calling many many times and no answer.

Ikes is truly near the pinnacle of sandwich artistry. Their sandwiches come loaded to the gills with meat, cheese and vegetable goodness. Add to that a little slathering of their signature sauces and you have a damn fine sandwich. I have been going to ikes various locations for about 15 years now, and its still my go to sandwich spot!

Josh and Eva are some nice individuals, with good customer service. The Sorry Charlie and Mac Dre sandwich are my favorites.

Tastey & fresh, but 😔 very light on the meat portions. U can add more meat for a price, making it a little more than what I would pay for a sandwich (around $20)... friendly workers and clean establishment 👍🏽
