Food was good, better than the absolute lowest ranked cheese steak shop in the area. The nice thing is they offer 10% off your first order, but there is no way to redeem that offer. They also forget things from your order, in my case an order of fries, and then will not contact you back, no matter how many times you leave them a message via their app. [UPDATE: three times is the charm, and this review] would recommend checking your stapled up order before leaving.Leaving a picture of the order receipt from the IB Berkeley location that was sent by the order App from the IBs webpage . You know if you look at the photo of the order, you can find the two orders of fries. But if you look into my stapled bag, you can’t.And a picture of the 10% off your first order coupon from the order APP from the IBs webpage.We have another update, so at first the owner states that I have the wrong location, see below, where the Berkeley locations is somehow not in Berkeley. Then after finally responding to the third contact, states that if it is DoorDash that I need to contact them, when clearly from the multiple contacts and pictures provided it is actually the IBs app from their webpage.I am getting such enjoyment from continuing to report out on the $5 that IBs does not want to refund, I am going ti keep this going until it is resolved, but the cheapness in the responses I am getting back, signals this may be a long and protracted saga.

Delicious food, large portioning, but really long wait. The fries weren't amazing. I especially enjoyed the truffle chopped cheese

Food was delicious I never wrote reviews before but had to share my experience only thing I didn’t notice was if they had bell peppers to add on or jalapeños then would been 100 percent perfect. Service was good friendly guy in the front food came out fast and hot ❤️

I had a similar experience two nights ago as Brian although I didn’t think there were antidepressants. I’ve just been feeling sick and unsure if I want to finish this last half of my sandwich I got late 8/3 with my first date who got impatient after I asked and the employees seemed to have a lack of seriousness for delivering real quality service compared to getting laughs out of innocent hungry guests. Would appreciate a $35 refund on my cheesesteak and fry because I am not familiar with the brown gunky texture in the ingredients from the sandwich I ordered. 🙁 I loved IBs so much a year or two ago

It's my favorite place said my pal Brandon Burg-Gate as we walked up to IB's Restaurant in Berkeley. We had just tuned the Spurtle and Squirt device over at the yet to open women's club.. The Campus Clambangers Club of Berkeley on Durant street. Hell, it's just two blocks from IB's, so I guess the girls will be flocking there for food between sessions. The food is amazing and the menu is vast, so it's best to look online before you get there Brandon tells me, and you know what. He was right..my sando was Amazing!5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆

The garlic fries have a lot of garlic. like a LOT of garlic. like i think they grated a whole bulb of garlic into my fries. a whole BULB of garlic, so only order it if you REALLY like gartlic. i added a picture of SOME of the garlic that remained at the bottom of my box. there was A LOT of garlic left in the bowl as well. garlic aside IB's is delicious i eat there very often the wings (specifically honey garlic wings) are delicious and the burgers are delicious but ive never had their cheesesteaks but ive also never been tempted to because you know what i think i would get a tummyache if i ate any cheesesteak. but ib's wouldnt do that to me, ib's would never hurt me. also they have a coca cola freestyle machine which is one of my top 10 objects that the earth has to offer. my roommate loves the naked curly fries. last but not least the chicken burger is very yummy as well if you aren't feeling beefy
