Very tasty turkey sandwich with whatever you want on it. I will ask for less or no sauce next time as I don’t like too much. Sammer was great. Those house made chips are too good. As you can see in my photo they loaded me the eff up and I ate every piece. Open till 6:30 and close to my hotel so nice for a simple dinner.

I do love a good sandwich so I was happy to hear about this place. We went there today for lunch. Now as far as the food goes I would give it a full five points. Very creative and neat menu although if it were me I would add a few basic sandwiches to it as well, i.e. tuna melt, grilled cheese, beef dip etc. I ended up ordering a grilled cheese bacon and egg sandwich (not on menu) and I can tell you it was absolutely phenomenal. The crisp chips that came with it were very tasty and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The carrot cake they were selling was also tasty and delicious. My only complaint would be the actual length of time it took to get our food, there were only two people in front of us and we waited nearly half an hour, seems odd during the lunch hour that they wouldn’t expect a bigger crowd and be ready for it but it is what it is. Regardless we will be back

Good, but not great. Firstly, I like what they are trying to do here; very unique flavours and sandwiches! I got the northern twist, the flavour combo with the roast beef, egg, caramelized onion. Love it. Can’t go wrong with that. However: the roast beef!!! It was 60% just beef fat, it made the sandwich drip with grease and most of the roast beef was inedible as it was just the white beef fat trimmings, with a tiny bit of meat attached. So disappointing! I love beef fat, when it is seared and cooked properly. But not when it is just white and half cooked clinging inside your sandwich… not good. Would of been a 5 out of 5 if the roast beef was better!

Rating is solely based on service/wait time. Wanted to try this place again since its been a while. After this experience of a long wait, I recall the last time was also a wait. Things haven't improved from my 2 experiences. Went at lunch time on a Wednesday, understanding lunch time would be busy and there would be a bit of a wait. But I didn't expect a 40+ minute wait for my order- or no order. Very dissappinted it took so long. Asked for my money back with no food in hand because I had to leave to get back to work. Order was 2 items- The Special dog and a California twist. For sandwiches and a so called Special, it shouldn't take that long. There were 2 workers, so maybe they were short staffed, but communication would have been nice to inform people it would be a wait, as there was a full crowd of people all waiting patiently for their lunch. During that 40 minutes, 3 groups of 2 meals each were served and one pick up order. Maybe I should order take away like the lady with kids did. I wish it wasn't just an off day, but going 2 for 2 where wait times have been an issue for a sandwich, I suggest you may have to find another place for a quick meal. Or you have to prep yourself and make sure to allot enough time to wait and hopefully have enough time to eat it in a lunch hour. Once I get through the wait time, then I'll be able to rate this place based on the actual food itself.

This place is super super delicious and I love that they have half size sandwiches now, as the portions are so generous. The restuarant itself is simple, but the food definitely makes up for that. The major downside is that both times I have been there the food takes quite a long time (half an hour or more) to come out, which is disappointing as it presents as a fast food takeaway place. Both times I could tell people on lunch breaks were getting g frustrated. Hope they can sort that out in the future!

Everything was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. No processed meats are used here. The milkshakes, slushy strawberry lemonade and sandwiches were da 💣 👌 Can't comment on the desserts as we were to full, but I'm sure they wouldn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend and absolutely coming back. Thank you for the delicious meal!

This has become bar none my favorite sandwich shop in the city. This city lacks great sandwich shops, there are plenty of okay sandwich shops but only a few great ones in Calgary. I will put this up there with Spolumbo's and actually maybe even a little bit ahead of it! Steak Frite Twist is my go-to sandwich here and this sandwich is no joke, bring your appetite! They have plenty of house special combos and you can build your own sandwich as well but the Steak Frite is amazing. You can also get pretzels with different dips etc and milkshakes.
