So good! Loved the pretzel bread and felt high quality in terms of ingredients. Love the grass fed roast beef personally

In my quest for a satisfying gluten free, dairy free lunch, I found this place. Not bad! Food/drinks: I got the sirloin and gruyère on gluten free bread, minus the gruyère. The gluten free bread is baguette style and isn't udi's or shar's - which is a nice way to mix up the usual offerings. Meat was freshly shaved. Caramelized onions made the sandwich. Seemed small but actually was pretty filling. Would have probably bumped up a half star if it could have been toasted. The salt and pepper chips were edible but preference for plain any day. Ambiance: I was there close to closing on a weekday afternoon. It was quiet and clean, and there were a few places to sit. Pillows and colors added a nice touch but it's not really a sit in restaurant. Oh, and it was fun to see all the cookie and chocolate goodies you could buy around the store. Service: Good. Quick, efficient, friendly enough, and to the point. I would go back for a quick grab and go; it's basically a wholesome Subway where gluten free and dairy free is possible. read more

Hannah's Bretzel - a bag of chips and a sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've had their salmon sandwiches, mushroom sandwiches, chips, and brownies. My favorite thing was the salmon. Hannah's uses high-quality fish and you can tell. This location is perfect if you plan to be at the Daley Center or City Hall. read more

They were so rude while I was ordering. I literally didn't understand how to order, I thought it was more like a build your own type deal. The person making my sandwich didn't explain anything. But my sandwich was so fire, I don't even care. I ordered salmon thinking it would be like the meat and then I added stuff and then she just started making a premade sub. I would return, it was very good and decently priced for downtown. read more

With several locations of Hannah's Bretzel now temporarily closed, including my go-to in the Illinois Center, I was psyched to come here for a Friday lunch. Sadly, this location, adjacent to the Grant Thornton building and a stone's throw from the Thompson Center, is not up to par. I suppose I should have done my due diligence, as I was looking for a spot to eat in (most Hannah's Bretzel locations have plentiful seating). Instead, the seating was limited to a couple of counters, one facing onto Randolph Street and the other puzzlingly facing a blank wall, along with a puzzling, cushioned situation that was elevated several feet above the floor. There was also a notable absence of lighting. Things didn't get any better when I got into line to order. There was a lot of confusion about what kind of bread I wanted for my Atlantic Smoked Salmon sandwich (wecken) on. Given this was a straight off the menu order, with no substitutions, I'm not certain why this was unclear. There was a woman ahead of me who was paying, and several patrons behind me. Fortunately, another sandwich maker came out of the back room to assist. I ended up taking my order to go, due to the lack of seating and all around frustrating experience. Sadly, I won't be back here and will try another one of the other 2 locations that is still standing. I hope this minor setback at this location is not indicative of the quality overall. It would be a shame to lose a restaurant I have long appreciated for its stellar service, quality ingredients, and inviting ambiance. read more

Staff is nice, but the food leaves much to be desired. They don't put enough toppings in the sandwich. For $15, i'd expect more than 2 slices of turkey. Portions are small for the price, you're better off going to potbelly read more

Well, I had a really good cup of cauliflower soup here once. Nice spot to ingest a meal. Worthwhile.

We order a group catering order online. After some initial trouble getting the group order set up, we managed to get it sorted and the link set up. I had left my cell since I'd be physically not in the location I wanted it delivered. They called at 12:07 for a delivery window from 12-12:30. Perfect. Went down brought it up and laid out the order. The order was exactly as I requested with silverware. I'd have this again. I'd like to visit their physical location. read more

Love coming in here. I show up after the lunch crowd so it's nice and chill, the staff is super welcoming, and there's a ton of seating. I always order the same tasty grass fed oven roast beef sandwich. The pretzel bread satisfies my naughty carb obsession, and the meat is perfect - not gristly or chewy like the not so good meat you'll find at other places. I also love that the sandwiches come with sides, and I always choose the delish chips. This is my weekly go-to, and it's hilarious that I'm saying that, since I'm downtown a day or two a week at most. It's that good, I'm always filled, and my ass is plain as hell and will always go for the sure thing. Pro Tip: They have an epic wall of chocolate. Any time my ma, or any chick for that matter, is in a bad mood I know just where to pick up the weapon of choice before I face them in battle. read more

The tomato basil bisque soup is delicious and you should try the Ritter Sport cornflakes chocolate bar.

Trivia: what do you call a Bretzel bun sandwich without the mustard? One mayo-soggy sandwich with meager proportions of deli grade meat and cheese. The redeeming quality is the locally sourced arugula and mighty vines tomatoes were plentiful. Underwhelming = 2 star review. Here's the thing: If you are a "professional sandwich maker" for a living and the order was to hold the mayo, substitute extra mustard then this is exactly what one expects for an $11 sandwich. Had I not placed the order to go and walked 6-blocks I would have said something before my first bite! read more

The writer Henry Miller once said "You can travel 50,000 miles in America without once tasting a good piece of bread." I beg to differ. I just need to travel a few stops on the Brown Line and I'm at Hannah's Bretzel. Their bread, and the fillings between the bread, changed my mind about sandwiches. My favorites are the Thanksgiving 365 and the Italian Bresaola. The Sirloin is great as well. But they are all interesting. And they make them so carefully. I'm always stopping at the wall of chocolate as well. So many new manufacturers and flavors. It's not cheap, but it's cheaper than driving 50,000 miles! read more

I stopped into Hannah's Bretzel on a whim while I was walking by, as I've never been before, and had a lack-luster lunch. The downfall of Hannah's is certainly not it's décor as the inside of the place is very inviting, warm, and friendly. There are a couple of tables and a cool little window nook (though I'm not sure if you can sit up there or not...). Not to mention that everyone is friendly and inviting. Where Hannah's falls short is not with the food either. I had sandwich (the club on a baguette) and a cauliflower soup. The sandwich was tasty but it was most certainly pretty small... if they could make it twice as wide with twice the ingredients than it might justify the price... Which brings me to Hannah's downfall: price. For a soup and sandwich I spent nearly $17. That's absurd given what I received. Everything was tasty but the size of the portion was nowhere near supportive of how much it cost. The baguette's length is great but it's girth... it's literally two inches wide. That's pathetic. And the toppings (meat) left much to be desired - barely did this sandwich have four slices of THIN turkey and the lettuce and other toppings were weak. Oh, and it cost like $10 itself. Then there was a small soup for $5.50. WHAT?! C'mon, Hannah! You're killing me. Needless to say, I want to return here but the price for the portion size leaves me with no choice but to never consider this spot for another meal in the future. Poor form, Hannah. Very poor form. read more

Definitely eat here if you want to feel like you got cheated out of your money. I paid $10 for this pathetic excuse for a salad. This is supposed to be a quinoa + roasted vegetables salad. Where are the roasted vegetables? Is this a joke? I wish. read more

Hannah's Bretzel - $10 for this - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Popped into the newest of the growing chain and had a delicious sandwich. I am a fan of the fresh and organic ingredients... and the Bretzel. Great staff attending to orders quickly and with a big smile. read more

Hello lover! In the decade or so I've been working downtown, my lunch heart belongs to Hannah's Bretzel. Years ago, I discovered this awesome sandwich shop and have been hooked since. How can you not love pretzel bread and well sourced meats and cheeses making the best sandwich ever!? My absolute go to sandwich is Sergio's Special. The melding of ham, cheese, mango chutney, and pickled jalapenos is perfection. Thanksgiving 365 is my turkey go to. Hannah's also lines their wall with all of the chocolate from small producers to bigger confectioneries. This new Hannah's Bretzel is probably the biggest one that I've seen in the Loop. There's plenty of seating and a neat counter approach too. Unlike the other Hannah's Bretzels I go to, this one appears to be more open air where you can see the fridges behind the counter. It has that new Hannah's Bretzel's look, shiny new appliances, menu behind the seating area, and streamlined counter. What can I say, I'm in love!?! Hannah's is my go to a delicious sandwich packed with fresh meats and cheeses. Oh yeah, their blondies and brownies are sinfully delicious too. read more

I've been enjoying Hannah's Bretzel since it was a single location at Washington/Wells when I lived across the street and am happy to see it achieve all the success it deserves, including opening this new location. Every visit has turned a good day into a great day with an always satisfying meal that is delicious and healthy. Consistently, my go-to order is a Sergio's Special with no chutney and the vegetable barley soup. There are enough seasonal items to make it interesting when I want to try something different and the breakfast line up is expanding nicely. (I'm enjoying a Works breakfast sandwich as I write). Hannah's is uncompromising for quality and sourcing healthy organic ingredients so there is a slight premium in pricing but it's well worth it. In addition to the great ingredients and nice space to enjoy the food, the staff is always friendly. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Overpriced and not enough variety on the menu (especially for vegetarians) but the space is very cute and somewhat European. And until today, I thought the customer service was really good. But I had to deal with a cashier who probably flunked out of kindergarten he was so dumb and unhelpful. All I wanted was some butter! He acted as if he never heard of such a thing and was incredibly rude and unknowledgeable. They should​ not put him in front of customers. Also, pretty much every lunch spot in the Loop gives you free bread with soup. Here, they charge over a dollar for one roll! read more

Very happy this place exists in my building for long cold Chicago winters that ruin the prospects of having a nice lunch break outside. Thankfully, Hannah's saves the day. Not only is the place cute and cozy with a small town coffee shop vibe, but the sandwiches and chips are delicious. For $10 you can get a high quality sandwich on pretzel or multigrain bread with avocado, chicken, buffalo mozzarella, and pesto. I mean come on, what else would you want on a sandwich?! I love how the sandwich comes with a bag of their delicious pepper ridge cut potato chips that add the perfect crunch and flavor to my meal without making me feel bad for splurging on a bag of chips. Highly recommend Hannah's for a good priced, good quality lunch in the Loop. read more

Had the Hannah Classic Club. Good sandwich. Bread was thinner than standard sub bread... but much better. House Chips were awesome.

Hannah's Bretzel is phenomenal. While this particular location holds strange hours. I believe its M-F 7-4p and closed Saturday and Sunday (due to the office buildings around), it's worth it. The Turkey and Cheddar sandwich is incredible due to the sauce that they use and the fish apple slices they place on their sandwiches! 10/10 will always recommend Hannah's for any lunch or quick dinner needs! read more

The food is great and I come here for breakfast almost every morning but the service is sometimes fleeting which is why I've deducted a star. James and Yenny were great and so were some of the other staff whose names I can't recall. But, the new crew lead gives me wrong information constantly (regarding Ritual menu price differences, ability to pay online with a gift card, gift card balances, etc.). read more

Hannah's Bretzel - a rainbow reflected in a window - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place upsets me! Why? Because there are NO locations in the suburbs!!!!! Holy cow, this sandwich is fantastic!!! If they were out in the suburbs, I would be eating this all the time. An organic fresh sandwich that is packed with flavor!!!! Hubby and I both had the Plainville Farms smoked turkey and cheddar, but I substituted the turkey with ham. I don't even know where to start. I was worried about this sandwich being too heavy because sometimes pretzel bread can be alot of bread with just a thin coating of the warm brown salted pretzel topping. Not the case, the bread is a bit thinner than any pretzel bread I've ever had which means you can taste the crunchy, salty part of the pretzel bread. Best part in my opinion. The cheddar, ham and apple slices were a nice combination, with the apple really giving just a touch of that sweetness against the cheddar. Then the greens just added a nice fresh veggie to the sandwich. And the roasted red pepper aioli had a nice flavor and not overpowering. The sandwich was just the right size and each bite was like a symphony in my mouth. The chips were also fantastic - a home-made crinkle-cut salt and pepper flavor and not overly peppery, at all, which I do not like. Just well seasoned. The almonds were very good, just a small cupful. And they don't have soda, but their Izze sparkling fruit drinks are a new favorite of mine. No added preservatives, sugar or caffeine. I am sold on this place and need to find more time and reasons to go into the city, so I can partake of these fantastic sandwiches again. Highly recommend this. And they are very close to the theaters on that street. read more

Poor service. I asked to warm the begel i've bought from them, and the answer was no, even if they obviously have tosters. The guy has 0 empathy. On the top of that the guy was working on another sanwich and I got some sauce on my pretzel because the guys didnt change gloves On the top of that the pretzel was not good, too dry and too baked IMO read more

If you're a vegetarian, skip this place and go to Which Wich or even Subway. I spent $8 on a tiny vegetarian sandwich here, and it wasn't even good. It tasted exactly like what I get at Subway, except smaller and less satisfying. To add insult to injury, I added cheese, and it cost an extra $1.50! This place is waaaaay overpriced for what it is. Go elsewhere! read more

I go to this place 2-3 times per week and they have great sandwiches, both for breakfast and lunch. But, I've finally decided that I won't be going again. All the employees seem miserable. The guy I see most mornings has never smiled at me. So weird. read more

By far the best bread I have ever had! Would have given 5* if not for the snooty, grumpy waiter giving me a death look when I couldn't pronounce something on their menu right. Lighten up chum it's sunny January in Chicago read more

So, on the food part I would give it 3 stars. The MANAGER would get a ZERO. I walked into the 66 w Randolph location and witnessed the manager in all her employees face yelling at them and threatening to send them home. She could have waited until I left, but no she went bat shit crazy on them. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I felt bad for them, I can't imagine how it is working with such a person. I have been in there again after the incident, it's a sandwich shop. No need to get all crazy with people. I felt horrible for these employees. read more
