Evie's Order
"Serious Patty Melt" (hold the onions)
Ice water




Evie's Review:  When we were at Ike's, it was busy, so service was slow.  The caesar salad was really good (Carlos shared it).  I liked it because it didn't have too many croutons, or too much dressing (too much dressing is always a problem).  I'm not very into burgers, so maybe I would have liked it better if burgers were my thing... but I wasn't a big fan and didn't eat much of it.  I liked the white bread and parmesean taste, and buttery greasiness.  The fries were also delicious:  Greasy, salty and sometimes you got a crunchy one that added to the deliciousness.

Carlos' Order
Caesar Salad
Surly Furious




Carlos' Review:  This place definitely makes my "avoid" list when traveling with kids.  There's no kids menu, so you are forced to order huge adult portions, and share them, which means you are eating what your kid wants, not what you want.  So Evie wanted the blandest possible burger.  I ate half of said burger.  I also wanted something green, so ordered a Caesar salad that had some brown lettuce and "out of a box" style croutons.... Beer list was really limited, but at least included Furious.  As Evie mentioned, the service was slow and inattentive.  The guy acted like I was crazy asking if there were kid portions.  Not sure why I went here over the great Stone Arch restaurant.  Won't be back.
