Artichoke Sandwich Bar

Food: 2/5 The food looked good but was basic bar fare for sure. Nothing great and in a sea of bars where the kitchens make their own dressing, this place does not, at least not the blue cheese. The soup is also not homemade, but it was good and was clearly from elsewhere.My sandwich was not enjoyable. As BLTs go, it was difficult to eat; the shredded lettuce was a fail, fallout everywhere, and not sure what kind of mayo they used but the flavor was not what I was expecting at all. The salad was sad for the up charge and similarly difficult to eat. My husband's sandwich was better, their signature number 8, but nothing to TikTok about. Service: 4/5 Good but not that friendly compared to the vibes the bar was giving. There was a disconnect somewhere. Ambiance: 3/5 The music started out too loud for how dead the bar was. Literally, it was us and about 6 other people but the live music was extremely loud. The singers were clearly professionals but they set themselves up for a fuller bar and were a little louder than the space required with that few people. I get that live music is loud and they eventually adjusted but initially it was jarring. They were good, but the lead singer was louder than her accompanying singer/ guitarist. I felt sad that they didn't get the chance to mix themselves better at the outset. Overall, this place should cut down their menu to items that are their best and probably have their live singers mix taking into account the number of patrons. I would probably come back but not as my first choice.

Great place! I got the Twisted Seester and was pleasantly surprised, the jalepeno onion hoagie bun was amazing (although it might sound weird, give it a shot!) I thought that the sandwiches were sized well, and can't go wrong with jalepeno kettle chips :)Service was excellent. Went during lunch time, and they had a good amount of customers. The server was really nice and attentive with waters and whatnot.Ambiance is cool, kind of has a bar vibe and the lighting was a little dark where we were sat.I'd come again! I like how creative the menu is.

Carry out samiches. #8 was solid but not amazing. Good food, above average but not 5 star

I have supported the artichoke for 30 years. I've always loved the food, service, ambience, etc. I had a less than three star rating today so I just wanted them to know I'm disappointed with their service. I'll keep coming back unless there is a repeat of today. When they shove your order at you and say nothing more than "sorry about that" you know they realize they fucked up. I still support them but I want y'all to know the food is great but it doesn't mean you're gonna be happy with the outcome.

Poor food and sour service at once great sandwich shop, rudderless...without a captain. Subpar on every modern detail of hospitality and service. Inferior ingredients, soft pours and mean, dismissive bartenders. Sad to see an establishment grasping for dollars at the expense of loyal customers.

I come here often for lunch! My favorite sandwiches are the seester and the twisted seester. I love that they put cream cheese on their sandwiches. Prior to coming here I had never tried that in a sandwich. I also love their broccoli salad as a side. It is delicious. Also, if you're a day drinker there is a full bar. Enjoy!!

Go. Just go. Food is always great. Sandwiches are amazing. Service is gonna be good, but you're gonna wait a little bit for the food. However, you are not gonna be disappointed. A Wichita tradition and certainly worth a visit.

Classic Wichita bar and Sandwich shop! Delicious. Drive thru service on a cold day was still great.

I had their famous sandwich and it was delicious. I loved the warm toasted bread and the dressing. The broccoli salad was crunchy and had the right amount of dressing. The service was great. I loved the vibe of the restaurant.

The food is amazing. Definitely worth the time waiting, even when they are busy. The sandwiches are always good.
