Great place!

by enunge

This place has a wide selection of sandwiches for super cheap. Highly recommended! My only gripe is that the lines can get pretty long and if it's raining, you have no where to stand (except in the rain).

• Pros: Excellent sandwiches for cheap.
• Cons: Only a few places to sit

The sandwiches at Ike's hidden Castro spot have earned Ike cult status among those who wish they could keep him a secret

San Francisco loves a good mom-and-pop shop, but this family-run sandwich deli might want to consider franchising. Waits can be up to half an hour for coma-inducing Franken-sandos like the Back Stabber (shredded chicken breast, marinated artichoke hearts, caesar dressing, provolone) and the Sexyboy (thinly sliced ribeye steak, mozzarella sticks, havarti)--that just the tip of the iceberg--all on fresh bread slathered with Ike's famous dirty sauce. The meatless options are plentiful, too, so whether you eat like Tony Soprano (turkey, ham, pepperoni, Italian dressing, provolone) or just talk like him ("da best freakin' vegan sandwich in town"), Ike's Place has got you covered.
