"The manager was very friendly and helpful when I came back to resolve an issue with my DoorDasher picking up the wrong order. He was very accommodating. The staff work well together, and it's clear they run a well-oiled machine. The Blackened Sustainable Salmon is phenomenal, and I highly recommend it. The Banana Cream Pie is very good as well. "
"when i tell you this was THE BEST salmon i've ever had, i mean it. The seasoning and cooking is perfection on the salmon, the dressing paired well, the bread is so fresh (even through delivery), and lettuce was so fresh. the perfect size portion and such a filling but light and healthy meal. i will be ordering this frequently now as it's become a new favorite for a quick and satisfying lunch to have at work that won't slow you down."

"This is a $25 salad? Looks nothing like the picture. There's maybe $.50 worth of lettuce. The avocados are browning, the Parmesan is powder from bottle. I ordered EXTRA shrimp and received a side dish with what would be comparable to the amount in the picture. I should have received the shrimp ON THE SALAD, with the extra on the side. Will not order from here again. "

"BLTA Croissant and Clucks & Fries® were really good as usual. Tried the Pretzel Bites and ordered them with Caramel sauce too! The Caramel sauce is REALLY good if you like caramel. The Pretzel Bites were good. Tried the Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts and they were good too! The Fudge-Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies are fabulous like always and reheat in the microwave real well for eating later! Love being able to get extra Get Saucy! "
"Fantastic delivery experience! This was during the dinner/commute/happy hour timeframe and appreciated their accuracy, deliciousness and portions that gave me tomorrow's lunch. Combo of queso and side of salsa will happen again. Ordered "crispy fries" and they delivered despite this was a Door Dash delivery. You'll never go wrong with their Clucks and Fries.

"The Paul Reubens is one of the best sandwiches I've had at Ike's. The pastrami is flavorful and tender, the sauerkraut adds the perfect tang, and the signature dirty sauce ties everything together. Served on Dutch Crunch bread, every bite has great texture and flavor. A creative twist on a classic Reuben that's definitely worth ordering again"

"It was passable for a cheeseburger, definitely not worth $24, the extra $4 for the fried Mac and cheese balls was worth it because they're better than the main course, should've just ordered them. The burger tastes like a fast food burger, would rather go to carls jr and get a double western for $13. Won't get a burger from this place again but may return for the Mac n cheese balls."
