"I don 't even like sandwiches AND I LOVE this place! It 's unique in many ways and fabulous to the hilt. When you first drive up, you might pass it if you 're not paying attention. The signage is on the small size, but what I like is all the extra space built into the parking area... it 's wide where it counts... in the parking aisles when you 're pulling in AND when you 're pulling out. Boy, what a difference that makes. When you walk inside it the same feeling...No tables or chairs (they 're all outside) just a comfortable, clean and somewhat spacious area in front of the order and pick up counter AND a plentiful area behind the counter where your sandwich action is carrying on. It 's nice that you can clearly watch them making your order without craning your neck to see what 's going on back there. I don 't care for sandwiches so I ordered the kid 's 5 vegan chicken nuggets with honey mustard dipping sauce to snack on during the drive back to the hotel. Hmm...pretty darn good for Vegan kid 's food. We skipped the Carmel Apple Lollipop with the kid 's meal, but after 3 nuggets I got curious about the Vegan Natalie Wood sandwich we ordered. Oh my, that barbecue Vegan Chicken and Vegan Cheddar Cheese sandwich was out of this world. Where did all that deliciousness come from in that first bite? Of course, the standard tomato and lettuce insert helped, but I think it was following my instinct to splurge on Ike 's World Famous Dutch Crunch Bread That pushed it over the edge into pure Sandwich Greatness. Wow... what a monster of a treat! I will come clean and say if you prefer tangy over sweet barbecue sauce, you might not completely agree with my ravings. But, that just bring the ratings down to about a Fantasticly Good Sandwich. So there you have it... if you are in Santa Rosa, CA looking for an almost perfect Vegan Sandwich (I could be wrong But the bread probably has egg in it) you 've got to duck into Ike 's Place and peruse the Veggie Sandwich Menu Board where it specifically says, Most of our 100 veggie sandwiches can be made vegan, so just ask and give 1 or 2 of those sandwiches a try. I 'm sure if you like sandwiches, you 'll be back to try them all. Oh, and don 't be afraid to spring the .10 for a bag to carry your delicious loot in, even that 's worth it!"
