Customer Reviews
Loved the takeout we got from Ideal earlier this week. We ordered the Ideal Special and Cafe Chicken, and especially loved the first of the two, with toppings loaded on and a good mix of veggies. Prompt service and nice phone and delivery team! Will absolutely be ordering again!
I came on Friday And ordered a small steak and cheese sub today is Thursday and I ordered another steak and cheese sub but this time I was feeling hungry so I decided to get a large tell me why the subs are the same size and then I go in the store and tell him this isn’t a large and he’s going to try to argue with me saying it’s the same amount of meat it’s just the bread is different which is fine but if I pay for a large sub I want a large slice of bread not a small slice of bread so now I feel like I got ripped off and you know it’s not like they was going to try to sit here and make me my other half of the sub I paid for .. for the inconvenience so never again! Don’t waste your time until they have consistent food!
It seems like this places hours are wildly incorrect, today my coworkers ordered pizza for lunch. The order was accepted on Grub Hub and their card was charged but the pizza shop was closed. When they tried to call they said number not in service. I don't know what their actual hours are but both their website and google have them as open. I would recommend looking elsewhere to reliably get pizza. (And probably try calling first if you do want to order from here)
I absolutely love this place, and the worst part about moving out of JP was leaving behind Ideal. The food is incredible, and has a distinct taste and look where you can tell they make everything by hand (never exactly the same, but still great). Two words: Buffalo chicken. Calzone, sub, pizza, whatever, get the buffalo chicken (their buffalo sauce is homemade and delicious). Staff learns the regulars and their orders and is always willing to chat. Definitely stop by if you have the chance.
I’ve probably ordered from Ideal over 100 times. Each and every time the food was fresh, top of the line and exactly what I ordered. They never forget to add tomatoes, toast your sub or whatever details your order entails. These guys know what they’re doing! Amazing subs/wraps. Great wings and dinners. Highly recommended!
