Sam's To Go

Sam’s to go is such a staple of IV!! I graduated years ago and was delighted to see it still standing when i got back! The gaucho and cheese sandwich was my favorite! Fries made fresh!!

Favorite sandwich place in IV and one of my favorites in the SB area. Go early in the day to see the owner Mehrdad and Frankie for the best sandwiches. I order the turkey avocado cheese with provolone on wheat and add salami, with all the fixings (except mayo). A sandwich and pint of beer on the patio, on a sunny weekend— nothing better.

I am usually happy with my sandwiches from sams to go and I have great admiration for the owner, I really do. But my last sandwich let me down. Today, I asked for mayo with my sandwich, and waited while employee constructed my sandwich. She seemed on task until an older gentleman walked who appeared to be a “regular.” The employee stopped making my sandwich and immediately stopped my service to take care of him, giving him his usual sandwich and some beer. After helping the gentleman after me, the employee continued making my sandwich only to add mustard instead of mayonnaise. I hate mustard. I might say I despise it. Sadly, I did not realize this travesty until I when home and unwrapped my sandwich. I was devastated, adding my own supply of mayo from the fridge to mask the disgusting tast

This is a world class college town sandwich shop. Yummy sandwiches. Cozy outdoor and indoor seating. Good beers in fun glasses. One-of-a-kind cookies. We visit a lot of college towns, and this is our favorite place in IV. We detour trips to eat here.

Exceptional service by the owner and his son. They seem to hire people with great customer service, cookies, beer, and delicious sandwiches. Never forgets the pepperocinis/friggitello.
