    Italian, no tomato or mayo
    Jonas A.

    3.75 stars, rounded up to 4. It's pricey, and I don't mind that if the food is terrific, but some things didn't quite hit that bar. The brisket melt (special of the month for April) was disappointing. The meat was tough and chewy. I'm sure it was a case of ordering the wrong thing. Unfortunately, I was the April fool that ordered it. My daughter ordered the Italian, no tomato or mayo. Overall, the sandwich didn't have a lot of flavor. The lettuce should have been dressed with oil, vinegar and salt. Yes, it's a low-brow Jersey Mike's move, but it works every time. The chickpea salad sandwich was the surprise winner. We also had the "umami chips", which taste like every other bag of seasoned chips, and the cucumber salad was refreshing. The dining area was spotless and the service was friendly.

    Roast Beef $17 and House Chips $4

    Absolutely delicious! The sandwiches are definitely pricey but each half could be it's own meal portion because these are thick boys. The ingredients definitely taste high quality. Loved the sides, tried all three: House Chips, Cucumber Salad and Zaatar Roasted Carrots. The only two sandwiches I have tried so far are the Roast Beef (which was amazing day of) and the Not-A-Cheesesteak which was awesome! Parking lot is very small and is shared with other businesses. There is a line out the door sometimes and they do sell out. Bathroom was clean and the seating area has always felt really clean. Really friendly employees who make you feel welcome.

    Fully loaded Italian sandwich on fresh focaccia

    A well deserved five star rating when you can heat up the other half of the sandwich the next day and it tastes just as good upon ordering it! My fellow yelpers in Ventura had me drooling over their sandwich pictures, so naturally I had to stop by. I ordered the Italian sandwich; which is made with house made focaccia. Add layers of Italian meats like prosciutto, salami, and fresh veggies and you have a delicious tasting sandwich. First bite was like whoa! The bread was so soft, and spongy. It's the perfect Italian sandwich to order on a hot day and take it to the beach or park. I was full from one half of the sandwich and brought the other half home. I honestly thought it wouldn't be as good the next day, but it was! I heated it up in my air fryer and to my surprise the bread didn't get hard. It was just as soft as when I ordered it. It's always a disappointment when your left overs don't heat up very well the next day and you have to toss it. Not this sandwich! Customer service here was friendly and my order didn't take long. There is a decent amount of seating inside, but no outdoor seating available. I came on a hot day, so that was fine by me. I enjoyed my sandwich indoors. Overall, a great place for a sandwich and hopefully I can try more on the menu next time.

    Cucumber Salad

    Had to do an update as I made it to the shop! Cute spot inside with decent amount of seating. Got there at 11:50am and it was buzzing. The parking lot is very small, I got lucky with one spot open. Went with the Italian sandwich, ooooooo this hit the spot! I was only able to eat one half, these sandwiches are shareable size. They still had their cucumber salad in stock. I see why it's popular and runs out quickly, the Korean dressing they make/use is bomb. I learned they have a kids club sandwich (Forgot to get a picture whoops), thinly sliced chicken, cheese, and mayo. My child is picky and loved this!! Kept saying "mom this bread is so good". Whoever makes their bread is amazing.

    Good sandwich spot! Busy busy busy though. I was in town for the afternoon so I wanted to find a good meal for lunch. This place kept coming up as having good reviews so I decided to give it a shot. I popped in during peak lunch hour (12:30ish) and ordered the club sandwich to go. I got it without cheese as I'm dairy-free. It took quite a while until it was ready, 30 minutes. It's a BIG sandwich, I only ate half and that filled me up. Good for sharing or if you have a big appetite, maybe you can have a whole one. It's not insanely pricey, $16 for the club, but also pretty reasonably priced especially given its size. Is it the best sandwich I've ever had? No. But I'd recommend it if you're in the area. Here's what I loved about it. I loved that there was a good amount of meat in there. It was a good ratio of ingredients. I loved the other veggies like the sprouts, the tomato, the avocado. It made the sandwich taste fresh. Overall the flavor was really tasty, the chipotle mayo gives it a nice spice and creaminess. The focaccia was a little meh to me, I'd prefer it if the edges were crispy, instead, all of it is pretty soft. All in all, it's a pretty darn good sandwich though.

    Club
    Autumn B.

    Luke's might be my new favorite lunch spot in Ventura, considering I've been here 4 times in like 3 weeks. The sandwiches are literally to die for. So far I have tried the BLAT, club, Italian, and romesco chicken and there are no flops, my favorite so far being the club. They make their bread in house and it is genuinely the best bread I have ever had. Each sandwich is so unique and flavorful, you are bound to find something you love. Everyone who works here is so kind and friendly and always makes sure you have the best experience possible. The inside is very modern, clean, bright, and feels very chill. They even have some cute merch! This spot is a must to check out!

    Drink: Arnold Palmer Food: Club
    Alexis F.

    I got the club sandwich with an Arnold Palmer. The sandwich is HUGE and was tasted very fresh. I like how when they give you a drink they don't put ice in it, I promise it's still cold, and you can add in the ice if you want. Makes me feel like I'm getting a bit more even if it's just an ounce or two. Service was really fast and very nice. I will definitely be back to try other sandwiches and their salads.

    I LOVE a good sandwich and in my personal opinion, a sandwich on Focaccia or croissant elevates it to the next level, so seeing all their sandwiches made on focaccia made me super excited! I had trouble deciding between the roast beef and romesco chicken but opted for the roast beef based on some recommendations from other yelpers and will try the romesco chicken next time! There was a bit of a wait (20 minutes) and some after me were quoted at 30-40 minutes for their orders but this was at peak lunch time on a week day and being that they just opened, it is a very popular spot! Parking is limited but I was able to grab a spot on the street nearby. Everybody was super friendly and it was clear they were working as fast as they could to get orders out while still ensuring everything was made right. The space itself is large with many tables (though most were full when I left) and an energetic vibe. The roast beef sandwich itself was fantastic and an absolute beast lol I ate half for lunch and had the other half later for dinner. It was a bit messy with all the toppings and sauce so make sure to grab some extra napkins! All the ingredients were super fresh and I cannot wait to go back! Also excited to see they are next to Buena Bodega, which I also plan to give a try next time!

    Roast Beef
    Jon R.

    Luke's is an awesome, new spot on Main St.! Today, I ordered the roast beef and it hit the spot. With in house made bread and fresh ingredients, this is one of the best sandwiches you can get in Ventura! Looking forward to checking out the rest of the menu. Also, hoping the online ordering gets up and running because it can be a wait to order and get your food.

    Elisa H.

    This sandwich shop is Main Street's newest addition and it came to town making more friends every day! Folks working here are super friendly, helpful and very nice, the menu included sandwiches, a salad, house made chips and their rendition of rice crispy treats. I chose the chickpea Sammy on house made focaccia with alfalfa sprouts, sliced radish, chickpea salad and romesco sauce. It was unique and absolutely delicious! My friends chose the chicken club. The club is also on house made focaccia, house roasted chicken, alfalfa sprouts, heirloom tomatoes, bacon, Muenster cheese, and chipotle aioli. We were there close to 2 and the line out the door extended into the parking lot. It's worth the wait! There's inside seating and it was packed today. Music was playing loudly, so enjoy your food, not the time for intimate conversation. Parking is available in the small lot out front as well as on Main Street. Give it a go, it's delicious!

    Delicious. Huge. Messy. Sandwiches. Luke's is a welcome addition to midtown, offering ample seating, friendly service, and a solid sandwich menu. I ordered the club and it was big enough for two meals for me. Next visit, I'll try the not a cheesesteak, the Italian, and maybe the panzanella salad!

    Luke's is Midtown's newest sandwich spot and it already feels like it belongs. The space is clean and simple, with an open kitchen layout and a menu posted outside so you can check things out before stepping in. Counter service, straightforward ordering, a water station, and plenty of indoor seating if you're eating in (also very easy to grab and go). The menu keeps it tight: eight sandwiches total, including one veg and one vegan option. No decision fatigue. We ordered the club and the Italian and both were generous and filling. Took half home and still felt satisfied. The house-made focaccia isn't trying to steal the show, but it definitely elevates the sandwich. You can tell it's made in-house and adds that extra something without overpowering everything else. One of the owners was there and checked in to see how everything was, which is always a good sign. Thoughtful and welcoming. Bonus: it's right next door to Buena Bodega, making this little Midtown corner feel extra dialed in. Simple, satisfying, and doing exactly what a solid neighborhood sandwich spot should. I'll be back.

    Romesco chicken sandwich
    Adanari Z.

    I'm so excited to have a good sandwich shop in Ventura! I am honestly blown away by the quality and flavor of the sandwich. I got the Romesco. The bread is perfectly bouncy and soft, the chicken was perfectly seasoned, and amazing quality ingredients all blended together to make a perfect bite every time. Service was a little on the slower end but nothing devastatingly late. Quality takes time. The shop is very cute and has ample seating. Parking lot is a bit small but you can find street parking nearby. Looking forward to going back and trying options.

This is not only a restaurant, but it is also a market that has lots of Good selections and is quite nice. The service was amazing when I walked in the door one of the family members who owned the place greeted me personally showed me around and told me how the food ordering works. Nice seating outdoors and highly recommended place if you are in Ventura Harbor. Please support this family business is awesome.

I've dined here a few times and my favorite sandwich is the Rachel** - packed with sauerkraut (gut-friendly probiotics!) & well-seasoned turkey. So delicious. And it came with a tasty side salad. You can also choose fries as a side or tater tots, for an up charge - both satisfying options, IMO!
