I've been patronizing the Ike's in Long Beach, CA on 5745 E Pacific Coast Highway for a little over a year, and all of my experiences have been very pleasant. I've tried a few different things here, and the food is always fresh and well-prepared, and the portion sizes are perfect for their respective price points.
Since there's like a billion different things to try, I can't provide a comprehensive breakdown on all of them, but I've had the Matt Cain, Hollwould's SF Cheeseteak, Elvis Keith, and their chicken strips before, and they've all tasted extremely good.
Typically when I drop in to pick up my order, I'm always greeted by a very friendly Black woman who seemingly goes out of her way to ensure I have everything that I need before I leave. I haven't been able to get her name, but she wears on glasses and is fairly tall. She's a big reason why I order from this location often because customer service feels like it isn't as great these days.
The quality of food and excellent customer service are just a couple of reasons why I order from here at least once a month, and they're reasons why I will continue to order from this location again in the future.

First time I've had a sandwich this good in CA!!! Gives me east coast vibes and flavors. The Dutch bread and fresh sandwich components were out of this world with flavor. I am so happy to have found this gem and plan to make many more orders in the future!!!

The sandwiches are so goddamn good. I LOVE the Dutch crunch bread. It's absolute heaven. However several times when I've ordered a drink with my sandwich, it hasn't come or sandwiches that have avocado and bacon have neither. I believe 100% this is an amazing shop but I seem to get very unlucky when I add more than just a sandwich. It even shows on the receipt when my order is delivered the items too!!

I've ordered from this sandwich shop 3 times. All three times the sauce was not correct (wanted it on the side). Maybe because the "no sauce/on the side" option is one selection and they won't let you add a special note. Also the bread and sauce to meat and cheese ratio is poor. One Teeny tiny slice of thin cheese on the middle of the sandwich. And for the really really high price tag, I want some meat and cheese in my meat and cheese sandwich. Probably won't be ordering again even though the sammie options are intriguing.

I've been going to Ike's since they were nothing but an open door front in the Mission of San Francisco. Then I enjoyed them when we lived on the Monterey Peninsula. I couldn't be happier to now find that they are here in Long Beach. They are wonderful, just fantastic subs. In their own way, better than what you can find in New York or Jersey.
