Ike's Love & Sandwiches — Restaurant in Dublin

Really loved the sandwiches here, except that they are expensive for what we get. Not just one visit - every time. Ordered vegan meat sandwich (PeeWee), got ONE deli (meaning very thin) slice on each side of the sandwich! Couldn't believe it, wondered if they just ran out the first time, or were distracted & forgot to add more, but figured it was a fluke & didn't complain. Second time, one thin slice on each side of bun again. That's just not enough, even Subway gives more than one slice! Asked for "all vegan," but didn't get cheese? Not sure what's going on bc the meat sandwiches pictured are piled pretty high & we don't know if it's because we're eating vegan, but there shouldn't be a discrepancy between meat & plant-based meat portions! They advertise vegan cheese, too, but when I reminded them "please make it all vegan," we didn't get (plant-based) cheese! Did online order 3rd time, wasn't ready when we got there, came up 10 mins later (total 25 mins wait), this time, 3 slices of meat on the entire sandwich, so we don't know why the policy is to give very little vegan meats, but we feel it's very unfair. Otherwise, selection of veggies was good, with banana peppers & jalapenos, too, and we like the dirty sauce & bread choices. Selection of teas is appreciated, the hibiscus was our fav. We wanted to make this our go-to for sandwiches, but really don't agree that one or two thinly sliced pieces of vegan meat is sufficient, especially when paying over $12 for a PeeWee sandwich, and seeing others' sandwiches made more generously. Feel strongly that cashier should not switch over to sandwich prep, a quick washing (rinsing really) of hands then putting on gloves always concerns us, and we wonder what's going on in the back prep-kitchen, if gloves & proper sanitation...

Twice now I've had horrible experiences at this Ike's location. Which is a shame because Ike's in general is delicious. If you think ordering online will be a smooth experience where you can slide in and pick up your waiting order, you're wrong. It was absolute mayhem when I tried to order at lunch time. Even though I arrived at the estimated complete time, I still had to wait for about an HOUR, all the while being lied to that my order was "coming up", before I got the truth that it still wasn't even started. People who walked in and ordered well after me got their food first. And this was the case for several of the people waiting for orders. After all that I asked for a refund (which they cannot do on the spot). I experienced similar problems when I ordered in the evening on a separate occasion. Perhaps it's pandemic staffing problems, maybe it's bad management. It felt like the employees were working as hard as they could, but I just can't do it anymore. Please save yourself the headache and go...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars — Exceptional Service from Ana!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but Ana, the manager at Ike’s Love & Sandwiches in Dublin, truly deserves recognition. From the moment I walked in, she set the tone for an outstanding experience. Friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming, Ana goes above and beyond to ensure every customer feels like a regular — even if it’s your first time.

What impressed me most was her attention to detail and her calm, confident leadership. Even during the lunch rush, Ana handled everything with a smile and made sure every order was right, fresh, and fast. She clearly cares about her team and her customers, and it shows in how smoothly the place runs.
