Customer Reviews
Why am I just learning about Ike’s now?? This place is legit. They boast a great menu of a variety of seafood options and do not disappoint. I’ve tried many delicious things off of the menu, but the crab cakes, house made potato chips, and house made sauces definitely elevate the dining experience here. My wife grabbed some take out and took it to the beach which is now an experience I can’t wait to recreate. Just need to watch out for the seagulls!
Ike's is an authentic spot with friendly and speedy service. And that crab cake sandwich..... My, was that good. Light and flavorful with the perfext ratio of crab to filler. Their potato chips were excellent as well and their sauces hit the spot. Although you pay for it, this is a must-do if you are nearby.
Update: I couldn't get the horseradish sauce out of my mind, so we went back to get a jar and decided to order the chips with Crab dip (around $16). The chips and bacon were plentiful, but the crab dip was sparingly drizzled over the chips - nothing like the amount you get for the pretzel. -------‐-------- 2 orders of 2 crab cakes, 1 fish taco, 1 fish & chips, and a Bavarian pretzel. With a group that doesn't normally finish everything, yet our baskets were all emptied here. Delicious. (Though my uncle said the crab cakes weren't the same as he remembers) I personally fell in love with their horseradish sauce. Used it on everything (pretzel, crabcakes, and their homemade chips) Only 2 downs. First, a good portion of our chips came out soggy/moist. 2nd, my 10 year old ordered the poke b
The crab cakes were phenomenal and just like everyone says - hardly any filler. I have no idea why they didn't fall apart. The "chips" were a wonderful surprise; we call them ribbon fries in Colorado and they were done to perfection. My only hesitation was the soft shell crabs as they were panko breaded which I like them in just a simple flour so the crab really comes through, but they are beautifully done. I ordered a sandwich with one of each so I could taste both and just deconstructed it to enjoy all the flavors on their own, but I bet together it would have been pure heaven. The sauces were amazing as well - especially the poblano sauce that came with the fish nuggets. Definitely worth a visit!
The location and the staff are what make this a great establishment. Oh, and also probably those sauces… I had the crabcake and it was an OK crabcake nothing fantastic but to be honest, I am not a huge crabcake fan… But I figure when in Rome… chips oh my! They were delicious! Oh, and the fruit tea was fantastic - highly recommend! Not too sweet and so refreshing I don’t know if it was worth the hour wait… Had we planned a little better and got our name on the list earlier? It would definitely have been worth it.
