Ike's Love & Sandwiches — Restaurant in San Jose

This is a West Coast Chain business but it doesn't feel like a Chain place because it taste like a mom & pop local shop. It does not taste watered down or generic. Their vision is Love Then Sandwiches: LEAD THE WORLD TO LOVE ITSELF THROUGH SANDWICHES. This is though order. Is it possible? Well, better to try than to give up. Does their business thrive because of their vision? Maybe the meal taste better because we are thinking about love and goodness while we are eating...Yelp Check In for a free bag of chips. Many exotic flavors to choose from, I got the Creole Onion, it was crispy and tasty, great compliment to the lunch. I also get a natural high because I score a freebie; my brain spills out good chemicals - endorphins, oxytocins, serotonins, and dopamines.

I ordered 2 sandwiches for 4 people to share. Both were cut in half, then I made more cuts at home to eat 1/4 of each(I think American portions are too big). Chose the dutch bread which has a soft yet light crunch; thick enough to hold all the stuff together. I love meats with veggies and sauce to balance it out. Added some fruits on the side at home to make a delicious square meal.

TL;DR Good sandwiches, if you just want to pick up, order in person, DO NOT order online.

Two parter: Ordered a sandwich for pickup on Grubhub, went at the beginning of the estimated pickup window, ended up waiting for 25 minutes before I got outta there.

Figured, ok let's take what I learned. Ordered early (1050am on a Sunday). Showed up 10 minutes after the end of the estimated pick up window (which was 40 minutes later). Stood there waiting for someone to even look at me for 10 minutes. They tell me it's just going into the oven now and it'll be 5 minutes. Takes another 15 minutes before I get my sandwich. In the meantime, someone who ordered at the front while I was there got their sandwich before me, meaning they didn't even start my sandwich until I talked to someone there.

All in all it took 80 minutes to receive my $15 sandwich.

Edit: I went again after craving a delicious sandwich and ordered in person before the lunch rush and was out of there within 10 minutes. that's what I'm...

I'm an Ike's fan, and I've been to enough of them to know there is a difference between various locations. Skyport is consistently one of the best. I usually toggle between a Matt Cain which is a meaty, roast beef, salami, turkey sandwich, and a Harrison Parme (they all make this one, but I never see it on the actual menu) which has fried chicken, marinara sauce, and provolone cheese. This location makes them both excellent. For me, the Dutch Crunch bread is too much bread. I always go with the standard French bread, and it makes for a better balanced sandwich. Today I ordered 30 sandwiches of various kinds for dinner for the cast and crew of my son's high school musical. They were done perfectly and on time as promised, neatly packed and ready to go. So much selection, there is something for everyone. The people working here are friendly and fast with a sense of humor. The little plaza it's in is nice on a sunny day. Trees, grass, water fountains, benches. All around a great...
