    If you're looking for a serious sandwich, Corti Brothers is well worth the 15-20 minute drive…read more The pastrami on a soft sourdough roll is incredible--it's huge, delicious, and exactly what you want when you're craving a hearty lunch. I'm also a big fan of the "Corti Special." They definitely don't skimp on the ingredients; it's always loaded and consistently high quality. Pro-tip: The lines can get long, especially during peak hours, so do yourself a favor and order online ahead of time. It makes the pickup process seamless and saves you a lot of waiting. Highly recommend!

    My friend and I came here on June 17th around 9:15 a.m. not going to lie we were captured by the…read moremultiple Instagram posts from different individuals we follow talking about how amazing the sandwiches were here and since we were in the area we told ourselves why not buy it now and we could have it for lunch later. So that's exactly what we did. For my sandwich I chose the Corti special. Basically you're able to choose your bread the toppings and some of the other condiments but you are not able to choose your mean. The person making your sandwich decides what they're going to put in it based on the different toppings and condiments you add to your sandwich. I will say that the service was quite quick there were four other people ahead of me and I will say I probably got my sandwich within 7 to 9 minutes. This was perfect time for me because I had never been to this specialty store before so I took that time to browse the area and the different aisles to understand what were some of the things sold there. I will say the space was surprisingly filled with items that were extremely high quality but reasonably priced. Also all the individuals working there were quite friendly they said hi and asked if I needed any help or assistance multiple times from different people. Now the sandwich itself I will say it did live up to the hype that was being tossed around all of Instagram. It was just so high quality when it came to the ingredients the bread was super fresh and each bite just had the perfect balance of meat to bread to condiment ratio. I highly recommend coming to try one of these sandwiches and one thing I didn't say earlier was at 9:00 a.m. it is not that packed so you definitely can get it early and again have it for your lunch later on.

    I try not to review businesses that I've only known through DoorDash, but I order from Duc Huong so…read moreoften that it would be criminal not to give them my praise. I automatically think about Duc Huong when I think about banh mi. Their grilled pork never lets me down. It comes in a huge serving size with carrots, onions, parsley, and jalapenos (optional). Bonus points for the customizable garlic butter spread that can be added to the bread. Out of all this shop's positive traits -- portion size, taste, authenticity -- the most head-turning of them all lies in their menu prices. $6+tax for a large sandwich ($3.25 for small) is unheard of, particularly in California. Even with Doordash's greedy middleman antics, the all-inclusive total with the DashPass comes out to slightly more than $10 per sandwich. I doubt that there's any contention about Duc Huong serving the best banh mis in Sacramento. With its consistent taste and absurdly cheap prices, I'm hard pressed to try another establishment.

They have plenty of Vietnamese dishes to pick up for lunch or dinner. Their service is good and rushed but the food is worth it lol. I ordered the Banh mi thit nuong which is the grilled pork sandwich. I like ordering it on the baguette bread and cut in 3-4 pieces. I also ask for veggies on the side because my kids don't eat sour veggies and stuff so that way I don't have to order part of sandwich with and without. This sandwich is my favorite! So flavorful and bread is delicious! Eat while it's fresh is best! And their coffee is strong and great when you need a pick me up! I also got the sweet sticky rice. That's always so good it's like a savory and sweet rice snack. And the Banh beo was ok. It's a rice cake with dried shrimp and fried onion toppings to be eaten with a umami fish sauce. Another must get is their mini garlic bread! 2/$1 .. you can eat it plain or cut and add your own toppings! I recommend this place when you're craving a Vietnamese banh mi

    Ok, first off, the sandwiches, always amazing, which is why we go…read more Now, the workers this time... are probably a reason I may not return. The sandwiches are expensive. This is a luxury. $20/large sandwich. Life isn't cheap. Things like this is a treat. So I took my son out to lunch. I asked to change the turkey for ham on a club sandwich, which already has ham, and is the cheaper meat.... and was told I would have to build the sandwich from scratch for $2 more. I wasn't asking for more meat, I wasn't asking to ADD meat, I was asking to simply change the more expensive meat for the cheaper lunch meat. Cashier standoffish, definitely didn't care about customer service, just a flat No build it yourself. Ok. No ty. Again, already a $20 sandwich. No thank you. When the sandwiches were ready, after at least 5 peoplewho came in behind us, another girl called out my name, but incorrect, no big deal. I stated mine in question form and she looked at me, rolled her eyes, and handed it to the cashier who handed it to me. I dont know what it was today, but even my child said it. He said everyone working was just "hella rude" and made him uncomfortable to want to return. Honestly, me too. Sandwiches, amazing. Everytime. Service? I could pass on the attitude. No accommodation or explanation to customers for a request, only an uncharge? Again, I could pass on that. The last two beat out the first everyday. The owner used to be in so often, all the workers were so nice, it was like the Dutch Bros of sandwich shops Not worth it for the price.

They offer a variety of sandwiches with ingredient combinations that will please any sandwich lover. I love their Italian and especially that you can add roasted red peppers, olives, and pepperoncini to them. My husband typically gets the Italian or their Buffalo Chicken sandwich. The large may seem expensive, but it's huge and definitely enough for two meals. They also offer salad options and soups, along with cookies and a great tasting pasta salad. There's plenty of tables to eat inside, but we typically take ours to-go. We always stop at the convenience store that's attached for more drinks and snacks.

And take plenty of napkins because this is not a clean nor mobile food. My go-to for the last decade is the Hot Blonde. So much fun ordering that one. It is really delicious though. Perfectly cooked chicken with sauces, cucumbers, cheese, on delicious bread. There aren't many places to sit inside but the staff is hardworking and work hard in pushing out orders.

The staff was friendly and courteous, which was appreciated. However, the restaurant and bathroom were not very clean during our visit. The food itself was excellent. The only item that missed the mark for me was the potato salad, it didn't taste like traditional potato salad and was more similar to hummus mixed with potatoes. One thing to note for families: the kids' grilled cheese does not come with fries or a drink, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the food was delicious, but the wait time and cleanliness issues took away from the experience. Items we got: Beach Bum Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Cream Cheese, Dad Sauce, Spicy Mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, green chilis on Classic Griller Grilled cheese. Jack and Cheddar on sourdough with a splash of Dad sauce. Potato Salad Red potatoes, eggs, carrots, onions, pickles, and peppers with secret seasonings and sauces.

My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch. The ambiance is different from other sandwich spots in midtown. The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are named after people or landmarks in Sacramento. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends. The staff joke around and seem to enjoy their job and working together. You won't be disappointed by trying the Sandwich Spot during your next lunch break or on the weekend, hanging out with a friend.

It seemed popular so we stopped by, and it became one of our favorites from the weekend. We got the dosky to share with the dutch crunch bread and it was perfectly toasted, perfectly balanced and just a really solid sandwich. The sauce was great and not too overpowering. We were surprised by the steady stream of people filing in and filling the shop too, it was a nice lunch experience overall! Would definitely recommend trying it out.

Unfortunately,…read morethis time the sandwich was so skint I had to add chips inside it just to give it some substance. And speaking of chips... two small bags were $4 each. Were these chips hand-carved by artisans somewhere? Blessed by monks in the moonlight? I'm genuinely curious. I ordered the club, and I swear there was maybe one slice of turkey and a single, lonely piece of lettuce in the entire thing. The bun, however, was enormous, so the overall experience was like eating a fluffy bread pillow with a whisper of sandwich somewhere in the middle. Honestly, the sandwich felt a bit like a mime, the idea of a sandwich was there, but the substance was invisible. I even wondered if maybe the fillings weren't hungry themselves. By the end I felt less like I had eaten lunch and more like I had participated in a sandwich-themed illusion. Sadly, it looks like I'm Togo's-bound from here on out. I always root for unique local spots, but this felt more like a "Shamwich" than a sandwich. Tough times when the hungry leave hungry. Poor sand-wich-ship indeed.

    Ike's is a convenient sandwich spot in midtown with tons (like an entire menu on a wall) of…read moresandwich options. Service is as fast as it can be during lunch hour rush, and I haven't been disappointed yet with my orders. The workers have always been helpful and answered any questions about the menu or even helped with recommendations. The ambiance isn't anything special. It's like most sandwich spots with tables, chairs and a restroom for customers. You're probably not pulling out your laptop to do any work or catch a vibe there unless listening to music and sending emails in a sandwich restaurant is your thing. My go-to order is the Amuna's Tuna on Dutch crunch with everything on it except jalapeños. If you're feeling a little lucky, you can get a combo meal with chips and a drink. They also sell big cookies. You also get a nice caramel apple sucker candy with your order. Like most restaurants these days, and especially restaurants in midtown, you're looking at $15-$20 for a sandwich and combo. It's pricey.

    I'm likely in the minority in my opinion, but bear with me. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4, and…read moresticking with a 3 because this shop just didn't measure up ... to me. For starters, Ike's has its own way of doing things: plain mayo is not their thing. Only way to get plain mayo on a sandwich is to get lucky that there's a smidgen still left in a jar in the fridge after they prepare their house spread. They mix GARLIC and gawd knows what else for spices to make their Ike's sauce, so allergies beware. They offer plain mustard, but not plain mayo? For seconds, the sandwich bread is not up to the challenge of holding together the mountain of fillings inside. Pics prove my point. I want to eat a sandwich with my hands, not a plastic fork (or a shovel). And I don't want to wear it, not in public. Proportions, people! One size does not fit all. Now, in fairness, the meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato were fresh, chilled, and flavorful. However, IMHO $2.00+ to add equivalent of half an avocado is robbery when a whole avocado is $1 in the market. Fortunately I arrived when there wasn't another person in the store so I was able order up a plain ham and cheese sub with L, T, and A. The counter person was patient as I attempted to navigate the menu board. I communicated my wish for a simple sandwich and it arrived, albeit ridiculously overstuffed and above my budget expectations. Props for kindness and understanding. My first visit to any shop is always testing how well they do basics. So far, I'm not an Ike's fan. I'm no newcomer to sub sandwiches. At 82, and being a Massachusetts native, I've been a sub girl for at least 75 years, ever since I could wrap my fingers around the perfect sub roll. For more adventurous sandwich people, go for broke! This is your place!
