Ike's Love & Sandwiches — Restaurant in El Segundo

Drove by looking for Which wich but didn't realize they closed. As I rolled up, decided to give it a shot. Was hungry, and didn't want to drive anywhere else in rush hour traffic. I was starving. I guess they just opened a week ago?

First. This sandwich is not a traditional sandwich. It's very hearty. (at least the one I got) It reminded me something someone would make for you in a Chicago hot dog place.

A little pricey but that's the price way pay now to live in LA unfortunately. The sandwich cost me just over $13. Sandwich Only) Comparing it to other sammich shops in the area, I was hoping it would be just a bit bigger for the price. Usually for $12 of food, I'm eating it over 2 meals.

That being said. The size and taste were right. As I sit here developing food coma deciding what to write.

Their menu is HUUUGE. And it's all crazy options you probably haven't seen before. I'm not one who likes to see a ton of things with different ingredients then have it customized to what I want. So I had the default version of 240.Madison Bumgarner. With the Dutch Crunch bread. First time having it. Delish. Not spicy at all tho for me. But still really good.

They have a vegetarian menu too.

I'm just gonna keep this simple and try not to overhype it. Try it out. I liked it a lot and can't wait to try out the rest of the sandwiches. There were at leat 6 I know I'm coming back for over the new few months lol. I will have to pace myself tho. Sammiches are in the double digits... And I have to prepare for the weight gain lol. I wish them success and I hope their quality stays the same for years to come. Staff was great. The girl at the register knew her sandwiches and had great recommendations.

I'll be back....

I was happy to see that Ike's opened near me. It isn't super close but not too far. I always enjoy my sandwiches. Their Dutch Crunch bread is awesome. My favorite sandwich is the John Wayne. It has steak, dirty dressing (a delicious sauce) & American cheese. Second favorite is the Madison Bumgarner (Steak, Yellow BBQ Sauce, Habanero, American cheese & Pepper Jack cheese). My son loves the Chase Ottney is Hella Sexy (Turkey & Provolone). They have so many interesting combinations of protein cheese and sauces. There are still like 5 sandwiches I want to try. But every time I go I order the John Wayne. But I want to try [Name of the Girl I'm Dating] which has Halal Chicken, Honey Mustard, Avocado & Pepper Jack cheese. The Menage a Trois (Halal Chicken, BBQ Sauce, Honey Mustard, Real Honey, Pepper Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese & Swiss cheese). I could keep going on but you get the point. If you or someone you are with is Vegetarian/Vegan there are lots of sandwiches for you/them. They have good kettle potato chips with good flavors. Oh and they give you a caramel apple lollipop or a blue raspberry charms Blow Pop with every sandwich. If you're craving a sandwich give this place a try it is definitely my favorite...

Ike’s seems to be thee sandwich spot to go to these days. The brand's iconic bald head sign is honestly very eye-catching and definitely catches your attention.

This certain location took over another sandwich joint. It's nestled in a busy food court-type area in El Segundo. Having been to the previous sandwich spot that was there, I saw that they kept the same layout and just changed the paint job and added Ike’s decor. With that being said, it felt a bit outdated and old. Especially the bathroom, gross! Not sure why they decided to not revamp the place.

Anyways, the food itself was it! The menu is very creative with a lot of sandwiches to choose from. I forgot the name of my sandwich because I literally just closed my eyes and pointed at a random one because I couldn't make up my mind. Haha

The gentleman at the counter was very nice and it didn't take much time at all for my order. So, would I go back? I probably wouldn't come back to this location. Instead, I'll go to a...
