Theres a dueterocanonical text discovered among the Nag Hammadi that recounts Cains story after murdering his brother in 4153 BC. In the scroll, textual critics and Old Testament scholars believe that after marrying, Cain fathered 5- not 4- sons: Enoch, Olad, Lizpha, Fosal, and Matt.While his first four brothers lived recklessly (Enoch was famously canceled for something his great great grandson said about paying revenge back 77x), Matt, an avid chef and bread baker, dedicated his life to the Lord.In 4068 BC, after decades of obsessive craftsmanship and iterative experiments, Matt offered up a burnt offering to surpass all burnt offerings. It was a sandwich the likes of which our young planet had never seen. A sandwich that shook the nations, cured hunger, and brought down heavenly blessings of love and faithfulness to Matts family for a thousand generations.It was the Matt Cain.Matt died seconds later, of course, as creating this sandwich had cost his weathered body everything. However, his magnum opus lives on to this day - a beautiful synthesis of fresh ingredients and warm crusty bread. The Matt Cain is the kind of sandwich that brings tears to your eyes as you find yourself yearning for heaven. The kind of sandwich that evokes nostalgia for a time long since forgotten. A time when you werent procrastinating from your studies while writing a review that nobody would ever read.Tldr: 5/5, will have to try some of the other sandwiches

Okay..so listen up- if you love sandwiches, you NEED to stop by this place!! It was LOVE AT FIRST BITE! I had one of their favorites with pastrami and turkey and it had the godfather sauce on it (cant remember the name or it). I had it w their signature bread which kind of reminded me of a garlic bread. I added all of the extra toppings like banana peppers, onions lettuce etc. So so delicious, cant wait to try another sandwich! The guy at the register was very helpful also, I let him know it was my first time there and he shared some great suggestions 😊

Worst gluten free sandwich ever. The size is almost half the size of the regular sandwich and charging $2 more . Plus completely unedible top part of the bread. It was hard as a brick .No way should the sandwich be that price for something I cant even eat. First and last time . Im so mad I even went in the first place I had been drying to try it

I didnt think the sandwich was that great. I got the Italian sandwich and the meats were bland, and the cheese wasnt bold at all. All I could taste was the aoli. The bread wasnt all that exciting. I tasted a couple other sandwiches from my group and wasnt impressed either. If they were half the price Id be okay with them. Get a better sandwich and go to Claros down the street.Also i dont appreciate halal meat, its an unnecessarily cruel way to kill an animal. Seriously, just go to Claros.

GOOD! I get the Madison sandwich. I get it mainly because of the steak and the sauce they put in it. But I notice they mainly skimp out on the meat in the sandwich :/ my sandwich was basically all lettuce and barely any steak. But very pricey. $44 for two sandwiches.

I’ve been to many other Ike’s locations and I love them, this was definitely the worst. The Dutch crunch bread was soft, and tasted very different from other Ike’s locations. The cashier took forever to understand our order, and the total was 12$ more than the other store I go to. How?Overall I paid extra for bad food, service and had to wait 25 mins for 2 sandwiches when they weren’t even that busy

Ikes love sandwich’s were great I don’t know what is happening? My last two visits have been terrible. Soggy soggy sandwich I even ask for light sauce on it and they drown it. Quality has gone down forsure, hopefully they go back to how it was the first acouple months they where open. Tip, ask for no sause unless you want a soggy sandwich!

Happy to have a sandwich shop with so many vegan options. The Bonnie-Jill is delicious.Unfortunately service is so slow with in person ordering and online ordering. Wait time is upwards of 30+ min for your sandwich.Will still dine here but must plan way ahead of time.

He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache… But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother. These are the last lines of George Orwells 1984. Big Brother, the fictional dictator of Oceania, ensured there was a constant reminder of his presence everywhere his enslaved populace looked.I felt the same sense of domination and supremacy as no less than 60 depictions of Ike watched me as I entered. The caricature of Ike was even smiling at me the way Big Brother smiled at Winston! The totality of Ikes presence was expressed once again as I looked at the seemingly endless menu. I had to gaze into infinity to make my choice, the Madison Bumgarner. The employee who took my order was extremely friendly and helpful- I wonder if she too feared Ikes omniscience.The wait was a little longer than I expected, which gave me time to question my surroundings. Was Ike real, or was he just an embodiment created by the sandwich Inner Circle? Did Ike have ahis own Ministry of Love (& Sandwiches)?Finally my order was ready. After the first bite, I realized something… it was alright, everything was alright, and my struggle with hunger was finished. I had won the victory over myself. I loved Ikes.
