Where: 16th & Sanchez , SF’s Castro District
What: Sandwiches
It wasn’t too long ago that Ike’s Place was fighting for its life as angry neighbors took legal action, complaining about the noise and long lines at their doors. Sandwich lovers would pack the sidewalk for hours, eventually leading to an eviction notice and months of legal drama.
Luckily for us, Ike’s has moved forward from that speed bump and still serves hundreds of sandwiches daily for its cult followers. An appearance on the Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food” continued its legend and made Ike’s a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.
A menu of about 200 sandwiches caters to just about every taste out there (even vegans!). The only problem is making a decision before getting to the register.
And with sandwich names like the “Fat Bastard” and the “Menage e Trois,” customers can add a bit of fun and personality to their order.
For everyone that loves a hearty veggie option, I suggest the “Love Triangle.” It’s packed with vegetarian breaded chicken, barbecue sauce, veggies and real honey, all in between a freshly toasted sandwich roll and a layer of “dirty sauce”!
Ike’s “dirty sauce” is baked into each sandwich so every bite is packed with a flavor that really sets a new standard in the sandwich world.
And the best part is that you can enjoy your meal at nearby Dolores Park and surround yourself with a true San Francisco experience.
