3.5 Tried the OG and the Garlic cheesesteaks Was not a huge fan of the bread, would have preferred a more firm roll but the cheese + meat were both cooked and flavored well. Was not a fan of the sweet garlic honey in the garlic cheesesteak, it was overpowering not much parking in the area, park in the neighborhood in the back read more

Seriously amazing burgers and fries! The spot itself is small and cute, has a huge menu with lots of options from cheesesteak, burgers, different fries, and even vanilla milkshakes! I ordered a plain cheeseburger and was amazing by how flavorful the burger was! The meat was so rich and juicy, and the bun was nice and soft but toasted to perfection. Also got cheese fries (waffle which were AMAZINGGG) and the cheese was so hot and delicious not from a can at ALL. The cashier was super sweet and when I went back to throw my trash they even asked if we enjoyed our food (heck yeah we did) On the side they have a big window facing the kitchen and it's so entertaining to watch not to mention how quick they are! read more

I am thrilled to have IB's here in Santa Clara! I've been grabbing my cheesesteaks from IB's in Berkeley for about 14 years now so to now have them close to my home in Sunnyvale is exciting and much easier. The place is fitting and will definitely make lots of noise in the community. It's the perfect location and eatery for this college campus and hip neighborhood. The cheesesteak still tastes the same as the original location and has that gooey texture. The garlic fries are still on point with lots of that garlic flavor. Everything is legit here and the service is quick. I already want to come back again for more!! read more

Portion size was good, no indoor seating. It was 21 dollars for a burger and fry which is pretty crazy. The burger itself was good but nothing to write home about. The fries are nice and crispy. Service was a little slow but they did make all of it from scratch so no stars docked there! Everyone was super chill but yea i just hope they lower their prices. read more

Greasy but tasty. I am not a cheesesteak connoisseur whatsoever as this is probably the 2nd or 3rd cheesesteak I've consumed in my entire life. I went with the mushroom cheesesteak but also tried my friends' original, garlic, and chopped cheese flavors. My favorites definitely were the mushroom and garlic flavors. They were the most flavorful ones, as the original and chopped cheese were more reminiscent of a cheeseburger of sorts. It's a heavy sandwich but a tasty one at that. I just wish it was a bit less soggy or for them to use less oil. Small line when we went on a Sunday night, but they were fairly quick with making and taking orders. Minimal seating outside the shop and no seating inside. Such a strong an delicious smell that comes from the restaurant which really lures you in. Slightly on the pricier end as well. read more

IB’s - Mushroom Cheesesteak ($16) - Burgers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Ordered the original cheese steak and I thought it was a bit underwhelming. I thought it could've been more flavorful. The meat quality seemed good though and staff was friendly! read more

Friendly folks -- while in line, guy asked if we'd been there before, and when we said no, he very enthusiastically pointed out the sandwiches they're known for. Storefront's tiny, they have plastic tables outside for dining. It was too cold to be eating outside when we went so we took ours to go. Onion rings: 5/5! So crunchy (even after a 10 min drive home) and perfectly battered. Highly recommend! Chopped cheese: I've never had a chopped cheese before and I'm not a burger fan, so I didn't think it was anything special. Spicy steak: 5/5. Loved this. I love most cheesesteaks tho. Bread's soft yet sturdy, great level of spicy, very saucy, great ratio of ingredients. There were mushrooms, even tho the menu doesn't say so. Maybe kitchen's mistake, who knows. My only complaint about the food is that it started feeling disturbingly greasy about halfway thru. I'd skip mayo next time, and maybe only eat half the sandwich, difficult as that'll be given how good it was. Definitely recommend and will return!! read more

I have been to their Berkeley location many years ago. This location just opened up less than a month ago. Abraham is super friendly and gave good recommendations. I ordered the cheese steak and waffle fries with chilli. The fries were piping hot and pretty good. It might be helpful to have a different container as the heat kinda makes the box "melt-ish". The chilli might help to be in a different container. The sandwich had really good bread. I would allow for the sauces to be a separate container as well. The 4 stars, is in comparison with other cheese steak shops. read more

Tried out this new cheesesteak place they also have beef and chicken burgers and popcorn chicken and tenders. I got the truffle oil cheesesteak and it was good. The tenders were not good but it's about the cheesesteak. Not much parking but students can walk/bike from Santa Clara University. Lots of boba shops next door to get a drink with your food. There's no inside seating so might be cold outside and not many tables. I think I would only come here in the summertime or order off DOORDASH but it was already expensive not sure if it would be even more in the app! read more

Best Philly cheesesteak in the Bay Area! I ordered ahead and the food was ready when I arrived. There isn't too much parking in the area and the shop is a little small, but there is some seating outside the store. The staff are very friendly and I will definitely be back to try their other sandwiches! I got their garlic cheesesteak l, which was delicious. I could only eat half. Very reasonably priced for the amount of food they give. Stop by if you are in the area! read more

Having lived in Pittsburgh for a few years, I love cheesesteaks but unfortunately have had a hit or miss (mostly misses!) experience with the cheesesteaks I have ordered here in the Bay Area. I came across this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try when I finished from work late one day. The menu is pretty extensive with cheesesteaks, burgers, and a variety of fry options on the menu. However, the key factor in the menu was the option of lamb as a choice of meat instead of chicken or steak. I'm not a huge beef eater but I also don't think that chicken provides the same flavor as steak when used as a substitute compared to lamb so I was really happy they had that option. I got the original and buffalo ranch with a side of bacon fries. Everything was delicious with the meat being tasty and the roll being of good hoagie quality, which can make or break a cheesesteak as I have learned with other places. I want to be clear that this place still doesn't serve that truly authentic philly cheesesteak that I used to have in Pittsburgh. However, because this place 1) serves lamb as an option, 2) is open late, 3) has an extensive menu, and 4) is as close as you can get to the real thing here in the Bay Area, I am still willing to give it five stars. read more

came here around 7pm, pretty busy, i saw the orders through their screen and it was packed lol. not A LOT of street parking but there is parking along the road if you go further down, there isn't a designated parking lot or anything so you have to park on the street. i got the garlic fries, and chopped cheese, both were super flavorful and honestly i used to get this a lot while i was in berkeley and im glad that they opened one in the south bay. this is a decent sandwich/burger spot and i highly recommend if you're craving something super good, they have tons of options. there are also outside seating, the place is fairly small so waiting inside would get crowded if you're trying to wait for your order to be finished. they call you through a receipt number but they don't have a speaker outside or anything so you would have to carefully listen. read more

The food here is amazing! There was tons of meat and flavor! I got the mushroom cheesesteak and I would HIGHLY recommend it! I have been to other cheesesteak places and I would have to say this place is the BEST! The service was okay nothing special, but the food made up for it! Just the sandwich after tax cost $17.56. The inside of the restaurant is clean and organized which I was happy to see. There isn't any indoor seating, so keep that in mind when coming. There are a couple tables outside that you can use. I would highly recommend coming here and giving it a try! read more

Was staying at a hotel nearby. Was excited that a Philly Cheesesteak restaurant was just down the street. The sandwich was OK. Meat was a little tough and had quite a bit of gristle. I also ordered some garlic fries. Didn't have very much garlic flavor. On a good note my Son ordered a Philly Cheesesteak, fries, and a drink and the person behind the counter automatically switched it to a combo. read more

I recently noticed that IB's on Yelp's Hot & New restaurants. I needed to quickly grab food for lunch and saw that IB's already offered online ordering. I was about 10 minutes out from IB's and placed an order for 2 original Philly cheesesteaks with "the works" and made one of them a combo including a drink and fries. Loved that you could order any style of fries - regular cut, curly, waffle - even tater tots. My timing was perfect as I only had to wait a couple of minutes for the food after I arrived. One of the cooks was really cool. He acknowledged that it was my first time at the restaurant and genuinely hoped the food was up to par. In fact, the food exceeded our expectations. What makes or breaks a sandwich is the bread. First thing I said about the Philly was that I loved the bread. It was toasted on the inside but had a soft pillowy crumb that held together nicely especially with all the saucy fixings. Each bite was clean because of the bread. Additionally, the sandwich was flavorful. If I had to be nit-picky I would've liked more steak, but I can't wait to have this Philly cheesesteak again. I look forward to trying their burgers as well. read more

I'd say the chopped cheese is 3.5 overall, it's well made but doesn't taste like the chopped cheese I got at the Bodegas in Manhattan. The garlic honey sando is decent too, with lots of meat and cheese filling. A bit sweet and overpowering with the honey sauce though, so if you don't like that sweet and savory flavor in your food, I'd avoid this. Like another review said, these don't reheat well because the sauce and lettuce will make it soggy, eat while it's fresh and hot! I don't get philly cheesesteaks often so I can't compare the prices to other places. I was able to save a quarter of my sandwich for a snack later, not enough for two meals :) read more

So I drive past this location daily and wanted to check it out. Im so glad I did because it was definitely one of the tastiest burgers I've had in a very long time! My family was also very happy and enjoyed it all. It was a pickup order even though they have delivery available as well. I ordered 4 burgers in total, since the family all wanted burgers, not to mention the fact that they serve Beef Bacon. This was our order 1 California burger (with chicken) 1 Cheese burger (plain) 1 Bacon cheeseburger (with the works) and 1 bacon cheese burger (no sauce, no onion, no mayo, but added hot peppers) (my order) 2 Naked fries & drink combo The burgers, the fries were all very good and we really enjoyed it all. The price however is a little high, averaging between $12-$14 a burger. The only thing I would say I was disappointed in is that the seating and parking is limited. Regardless, I will however be going back in the future because it was really good. Check it out if you are in the area or just order online. They have many options on their menu. The overall best part is that they are Halal! Hard to find good Halal places but this one is really good!! read more

Ahhh I'm so happy they opened here in Santa Clara. I first visited IB's in Berkeley. I would always get their cheese steaks every weekend! Andrew was so cool! Learned so much about him and his family today. Found out he's also from the east bay like me! So happy to be supporting family own businesses and reliving my college years with their cheese steaks! 10/10 recommend this spot! read more

IB's has done it again. I already left a review after the first time I went shortly after they opened for the cheese steak. Today I grub hubbed the other sandwich I'd been hearing about, the chopped cheese with the works. I was not disappointed. In fact I think I like it better. That burger sauce was a bit of a game changer. Sandwich is moist, juicy, savory, flavorful. I had it delivered so I could eat it while watching USA men's hockey beat Sweden to get to the semi finals in the Olympics. But I digress. I highly recommend. It's my new favorite and I'm already thinking about when I'm going to get it again. read more

First time here and I ordered the teriyaki cheesesteak with waffle fries and a fountain drink. The cheesesteak was delicious and super filling. I only made it through half of it and the fries, so I've basically got another full meal waiting for tomorrow. They definitely didn't skimp on the fries either. The place was really clean, and I even noticed one of the staff members wiping down the fountain drink machine after helping all the customers. It's always nice to see a place that clearly takes pride in keeping things clean. We'll definitely be back. Next time I'll actually remember to take a photo of the food... totally forgot this time. read more

So, I want to preface this with I had a good experience the first time I went in. This time it was not. Both times I ordered the mushroom cheese steak. However, this last one was so overcooked and dried out that I couldn't even finish the first half and tossed it. very frustrating as they are not inexpensive. I don't mind paying a premium assuming I'm receiving quality ingredients. I hope the owner gets this and is able to step up quality control and hopefully this sandwich was just a mistake. read more

Was raised on the east coast and was spoiled by great cheesesteak spots everywhere. In the Bay Area, there's only a few. And this place is certainly one of them. Top 3, if not Top 1. Great tasting cheesesteaks, with a nice menu, and also very reasonably priced vs others in the area. Highly recommend. No place to sit...basicall read more

The first week they were open, I attempted to access their menu online and it kept taking me to the menu for the Oakland location. I went to the Santa Clara location and attempted to order a half sub and was told "we aren't offering the half portions at this location". I shouldn't have to work this hard to order food. read more

Food was good, but they ran out of their regular bread on a Thursday night. Got the sandwich with the chopped cheese.

First timer at IB's; The IB's original cheesesteak was delicious. They put a generous amount of meat paired with provolone (my cheese of choice) and it was delicious -- don't forget ranch on the side! We went around 11.30PM and they were open, not a lot of spots open around that time in the area serving such fresh food. Andrew greeted and helped us, great service! Will be back again. Thank you IB's team. read more

First time at this location and got the original cheese steak and noticed half the sandwich had many pieces of large gristle definitely for the price expected a better cut of rib eye or trimmed better also lacked seasoning or flavor...got the watermelon lemonade that tasted just like plain tart lemonade..did inform an employee about the gristle and just got a ok as a response doubt ill return considering the cost and poor quality...I was hopeful cause of the good reviews read more

Not sure if the food is good or not because they completely messed up my order. It had everything on my sandwich that I asked not to have. Crazy because my receipt clearly showed what I did not want in my sandwich. The cooks totally ignored my order preference. Here's another kicker, you can call because no option to speak to a person. You can only place an order over the phone. I had to drive all the way back to get a refund. I foods get a total refund for my order but that in no way makes up for the headache of having to drive back, the time and gas I used. All I got to say is order at YOUR OWN RISK. Will never go back there again. You can have it. Not worth my time and effort especially when there are so many other places to eat where cooks can read a simple order ticket. read more

Tried it for the first and last time I got the chopped cheese. The bread was OK. The meat was OK. The lettuce tasted funky and bad. They don't answer the phone so I could not let him know but I would not recommend going there. read more

I ordered the IB's Original cheesesteak with the works. It was very sour. It did not have tomatoes, and the works is supposed to include tomatoes. The tomatoes would have helped with the sourness. Next time I will order without the mustard. Too sour. The service was nice. The guy who took the order was friendly. The ambiance looks nice. I will give it another try another time. read more

I didn't know this business was open but this morning on my way for a pedicure I walked by the business peaked in the door to look at the menu and although it was only 1030 they greeted me very nice. I said I didn't know you were here I'll check back and try it this afternoon with my husband and that I did we usually go to Amato's for our cheesesteaks, but these we're better. They had all the fixings the prices were reasonable and it's family owned which I just love. Everybody was friendly. We sat outside and ate. They brought us. Our food. Will definitely go back restaurant clean and neat. Appreciate that. read more

I was super excited to try this Cheesesteak spot for the first time, especially with good reviews. I ordered the Classic with cheese and onions only. Totally disappointed with what was A TOTAL WIMPY sandwich. 17 bucks and probably weighed only a half pound at most. Taste was pretty good thus 2 stars not 1. Wont be coming back here as New Jerseys Restaurant in Campbell is a MUCH better cheesesteak with double the meat for the same price. Service was great as the cashier helped me out with my order. read more
