One of the best and affordable places to eat in Santa Barbara and IV. Sam's offers great and delicious sandwiches for a reasonable price compared to other restaurants inIV. They have very fluffy bread and fresh ingredients with friendly and welcoming staff, would highly recommend! Will definitely be coming here again soon

I've been a customer since I was a kid and talk about consistency and quality. This little shop puts out great sandwiches at a reasonable price. Will always stop by when I'm in town!

Ingredients wasnt the freshest. Was charged for sourdough but got white bread instead. Also quite expensive for a sandwich. 10 dollars for a 6 inch.

Shady business practices led to an unpleasant experience. The food was decent, though I could tell the ingredients used were old. My main issue was with dishonest pricing and behavior. None of the prices on the menu are correct apparently. There is a piece of paper on the register saying the prices are different because of "inflation". Pretty sure that is not even legal to charge differently than what is advertised. Also the person making it kept saying he was going to add things without asking me if i actually wanted it. He would say "is cheddar good for the cheese" and "I will add this bread its a great bread" without mentioning that there was an upcharge for both. The listed price for sandwich was 10.99. that's all I wanted was the sandwich and that's all I said I wanted. Got to the register and the total was 15 dollars. I would be less upset if they were forthcoming with the prices. Won't be going back for that reason

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.
Vegetarian options: cheese sandwiches with all the veggies, they also have sides of fries and onion rings.

I use to be a fan of Sam's To Go but had never been to the IV location. I ordered #14 (turkey, bacon, avocado and cheese) on a French roll. It's supposed to come with mayo, mistard, pickle and pepperoncini. I asked for no pickle but I also did not get avo or pepperoncini. The bread was really dry as well. In total with a yerba matte and chips came to over $20. Very disappointed... I will not be going back to the IV location.

Always a great experience to grab grub at Sam’s. Friendly, fast service. Sandwiches were made as ordered and they make fresh, hot onion rings to order. Lovely patio with benches and tables with shade on the ‘main’ drag so you can do some good people watching. Thanks Sams! You rock.
Vegetarian options: Delicious veggie sub, they will customize to your liking.

I ordered a ranch for an EXTRA $1. And I confirmed with the cashier that there was an extra ranch and he said that everything was in the bag. Lo and behold, there was NO RANCH. Also, my friends ordered the Dutch crunch bread which is a $1 extra, and they did not inform them that the bread is a $1 extra. DOLLARS ADD UP
Best sandwiches in
