I've only had the chance to get here once so far but am looking forward to returning and exploring more of the sandwich options. On my visit I opted to try the Philly Cheese Steak and added the hot peppers to it. Served with a small bag of house made kettle chips and a pickle, this was delicious. The beef was fantastic, fresh and tasty. And the bun it was served in was perfect. Looking forward to returning and trying the duck that everyone here raves about! read more

Went to the zoo and decided to stop over for some lunch. Menu looked amazing, however, when we go to the till we tried to order sandwiches on the menu and they had zero. Nothing to indicate they were out. Only premade salads and some baked goods. There would have to be a wait, did not know how Long. They did offer a premade deli sandwich - roast beef which was good and baked goods no one can go wrong. Had the Americano and husband had tea. Small indoor seating at tables and long seated bench on the side. Lots of outdoor seating. I am sure we will try this place again at some Point when they have sandwiches. They did list the "zoo special" but didn't know what that was because they were out- next time :) read more

Sandwich & Sons - Sandwiches Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

This review is for the Taste of Edmonton 2017 booth. Based on my experience, I'd never frequent this restaurant. The staff was beleaguered and the management was AWOL. Hit the ToE booth on Wed at 5pm, only to be greeted by a very intoxicated, loud and obnoxious ?representative? He was so messed up he could barely open his eyes, swayed back and forth, and hollered f-bombs in front of young families; it was the kind of show one expects on Whyte on a Sat at midnight. The booth itself was totally lacking napkins and missing one of the two dishes. "We F*ed Up!!" was the loud, cheerful explanation. The young women trying to hold things together at the booth looked helpless, and acknowledged that this guy was out of it and his behaviour did not reflect well on the business. I called the main shop, where an apologetic but uncertain employee gave me two numbers for some managers. I left voicemails for both. I got the strong sense that the employees were unsupported, and my experience at ToE was shocking. Really makes me think twice about checking out the resto. read more

Much like duck, if grilled cheese is ever on a menu, I will most likely order it. Add to the mix a new sandwich shop with a focus on local producers and craft products (who doesn't like a new place to check out, really), then you've got a deal. Chef Alex Sneazwell's latest venture, Sandwich and Sons, is just that. Located just north of the Yellowhead Trail on 156 St and 131 Avenue, Sandwich and Sons is in one of the oddest spaces ever, nestled in between industrial businesses and serving up a handful of sandwiches to the surrounding crowd for lunch. It makes sense though to have a small deli storefront to support the full service catering business and since opening two weeks ago, Edmontonians have responded with an amazing interest. I'm not the only one who wants a good sandwich! I was lucky enough to have a weekday off last week (they're only open Monday to Friday) and enlisted my friend Josh, my personal garburator (official job title since 2006), to go check it out. The menu is displayed on the side wall with a space for feature sandwiches. All orders include a side of freshly fried house chips and a slice of made-in-house pickle, which are also available for purchase by the jarful. The Montreal smoked meat calls out to most people, definitely grabbing Josh's attention. Sometimes meat intimidates me. Just knowing that a sandwich I can't even properly hold makes me scared. I'm a wuss, I know. But that's why bringing Josh is always a good idea, and nobody ever complains about the abundance of moist, tender, smoked beef brisket in between two slices of rye. House mustard and sauerkraut round out the sandwich, making the classic Montreal sandwich just a little bit more closer to home. For those wondering, I did have to take out a chunk of meat to properly hold it in my hands. This isn't a bad thing. As for myself, I ordered the grilled cheese. Who the heck orders that when fried bologna, smoked turkey, and spicy italian are all viable options? This girl. I just cannot resist. Plus I could see the panini grill making somebody else's order ooze a combination of old cheddar, Monterey Jack, and smoked gouda. Yeah. It was amazing. It was crisp. It wasn't greasy. And the artichoke spread on the sourdough bread was spot on. Winnnneeeeer. Chef Sneazwell is still working on building his ingredient sources, the meats currently from Sangudo Meats and the bread from a variety of sources. He hopes to source his bread from Vienna bakery and once his convection oven gets delivered, to start making his own. I don't know when I'll ever have a Friday lunch off, but Foie Gras Friday is quickly becoming a thing, a Vietnamese banh mi-inspired sandwich featuring braised bacon, mortadella, pickled carrots and herbs and duh, foie gras pate. It made Josh go back (lucky bum!) and now I might be responsible for his sandwich addiction. Oops. If you're in the area or have a mad hankering for some quality classic sandwiches, head over to Sandwich and Sons! read more

Oh wow, these sandwiches are HUGE and DELICIOUS! I was introduced to this place by a colleague and it truly is a hidden gem. I had the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich and he had the Spicy Italian. We split and exchanged a half of each so we could both try. The Montreal Smoked Meat was huge, so much meat piling out. Great bread, good mustard, the meat was tender and great. There felt like a little something missing though - just a little tanginess that I wanted. Maybe it needed a bit more mustard or more of the Montreal seasoning on the meat. It was still really good though. The Italian sandwich was awesome. Just delicious, lots of meat, nicely laid out, and had that nice little kick to it. They also make their chips fresh right there! Yum! read more

Sandwich & Sons is located just north of the Yellowhead on 156 Street in an industrial part of Edmonton. It's a new deli-style concept opened by Chef Alex Sneazwell (formerly of The Manor, Von's, El Cortez) offering soups and sandwiches during the day from Monday to Friday. The menu itself is simple and is written in chalk on the wall. Classic sandwich combinations are put together with an emphasis on using local ingredients and housemade fixins. Each sandwich includes a side of housemade chips and a pickle, and the price is inclusive of tax. Daily soup and drinks are available for $3 each, and the housemade mustard and pickles are also available for purchase to take home. I stopped by for a quick lunch today with my boyfriend, and of all the choices on the menu the top contender for us was the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich ($12). Shaved brisket, house mustard and sauerkraut are piled high between the two warm slices of rye, there's no shortage of meat here! The brisket comes from local producer Sangudo Meats, and this meat is fantastic. The brisket is sous vide for 24 hours then smoked with pecan wood. The resulting brisket is tender, flavourful, and not overly smoky. Grainy mustard is one of my favourite things in sandwiches, and everything combined with lightly pickled sauerkraut made this sandwich a hit. Our other top choice was the Spicy Italian sandwich ($10). Hot salami, mortadella, artichoke spread, pickled peppers and havarti are placed inside of a roll and squished inside a panini press. The resulting sandwich is crispy, has a kick of heat and is oozing with melted cheese. The sandwich doesn't have the grandeur of the Smoked Meat, but it's a pretty solid sandwich on its own. I did find it to be a bit greasy, but that's just the nature of the ingredients used. Other than the sandwiches, the chips on the side weren't too greasy and just lightly salted for a bit of flavour. I was a little sad that Sandwich & Sons didn't make dill pickles to accompany their sandwiches, but the tangy pickles still had a bit of bite that I enjoyed. In conversation with Chef Sneazwell, he mentioned that the smoked brisket, turkey, bologna and bacon are all supplied by Sangudo Meats. It's great to see a small sandwich shop supporting local in the ways that they can! From social media it looks like Foie Friday is going to be a thing, so you foie gras fans should flock there to celebrate the end of this week with a foie gras banh mi. Sandwich & Sons is open Monday-Friday, and catering is available too. Stop by and give them a try if you're in the area - the sandwiches are solid. read more

What up son? I've heard rumblings about Sandwich & Sons ever since it opened and even though it's only a five minute drive from my work, I hadn't been yet. Well, that was rectified when a friend and I decided to check them out for their foie gras Fridays. The place was slammed when we arrived at noon. Parking is cramped and limited. The line literally curled around the restaurant, I was pretty surprised although I really shouldn't be, seeing as how Edmontonians completely adore sandwich shops in town (Elm Café, Farrow, Jacqueline's are a few that come to mind). The menu is concise but I like that. I'll take a small selection done well over a large one every time. It seems like there are six mainstays and a special Friday (note: they are only open Monday to Friday for lunch!). Seriously, such a genius idea, find a niche and run with it. Trip#1 - Daily soup ($3.00) - the soup of the day when we went was smoked turkey and roasted cauliflower. The soup was creamy and had real pieces of turkey in it. I couldn't even tell that the base was cauliflower (funny enough, I was talking with some friends about cauliflower and turns out you can use it as pizza crust?!) but the soup was smooth and refreshing. - Montreal Smoked Meat ($12.00) - we decided to share our sandwiches so that we could try both. My friend was debating between the smoked meat and roasted chicken (cranberry sauce = my crack) but obviously, we ended up with the smoked meat. The rye bread is so picturesque. It went well with the smoked meat but this ain't no Schwartz's style of smoked meat. But that's a given. Not bad for Edmonton standards. The homemade mustard gave a nice zing to it. - Foie Gras Fridays ($17.00) - this was what we came to S&S for. Foie Gras Fridays. Lo and behold, this edition of foie gras was sandwiched between two pieces of fluffy French toast. Yuuum. Not to mention drizzeled, okay more like smothered in maple syrup. Verdict? For $17.00, it's definitely overpriced. The sandwich itself is small and packs lots of flavour (read: it's heavy) but I doubt I would have been full from just the foie gras sandwich itself. Keep that in mind if you want something more substantial. Trip #2 - Daily soup and drink combo ($4.00) - roasted sweet potato with brisket. The soup was delicious - creamy and a subtle sweetness from the sweet potatoes. It reminded me of butternut squash soup but much lighter in flavour and texture. - Roasted turkey ($11.00 - turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy on a roll. A solid portion of tender, moist dark turkey meat. The sandwich was good but it needed WAY more cranberry. Cranberry sauce is my crack/kryptonite. Sadly, I could barely taste any cranberry sauce in our sandwich. - B.L.T. ($10.00) - thick cut, double smoked bacon, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato on sourdough bread. A generous slab of bacon that was crunchy and not too greasy. The sourdough is lightly toasted/warmed up. A classic done right! Trip #3 - Grilled cheese ($7.00) - cheddar, smoked gouda, monterey jack with an artichoke spread. I was stuffed silly from lunch elsewhere but Pboy hadn't ate so I tagged along and introduced him to S&S. He went with the grilled cheese and loved it. The cheese oozes out, the panini gives it a nice crunch and the artichoke spread adds a little je ne sais quoi to the mixture. Anyways, I dig what Sandwich & Sons are doing. The guys making the sandwiches are impressively fast and efficient, friendly and it's my 'hood. North side is pretty deserted so a new spot is always welcome in my books. read more

Good food, but the meat was a bit dry for my taste. And the prices are pretty high for a sandwich. My brother had the Philly cheese steak sandwich and the cheese added much needed moisture and he quite enjoyed it. read more

Love! Love! Love their sandwiches. I've had their Smoked Meat, Cheesesteak, and Fried Bologna (yes fried bologna), and they are all amazingly good. Best sandwich shop in Edmonton for my money. It's a little out of the way, but worth the trip. House made mustard and sauerkraut. read more

if you love sandwiches you will looove Sandwich and Sons. I have only been to the the 113ave and 156st location but for your convenience they have now opened a second location downtown. This little shop a hidden gem. Think industrial sandwich shop. Not exactly shiny and pretty on the inside but definately clean, but the food... that is where this place shines. What you get for you $$ is a massive sandwich big enough to fill any hungry man. These sandwiches are stuffed full of delicious juicy house made meats. Accompanied by high quality ingredients. Served on a cafeteria tray with a quarter slice of a massive pickle. And dont forget the bag of freshmade potato chips. On my last visit I tried the Friday special Duck sandwich. The meat was a combo of succulent duck and slow roasted short rib beef. There was a delicious gravy that bring it all together and a generous amount of the house special dijion mustard. Mmmm my mouth is salivating just remembering it. But i have to say the Turkey sandwich is by far my favorite. With tender juicy turkey accompanied with cranberry sauce and dressing and gravy to boot this sandwich is a must try if your feeling reminiscent of your last Thanksgiving dinner. read more

There was quite a buzz that surrounded these guys that made me want to try their version of Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich when I went to Taste of Edmonton last weekend. In my opinion, overall it's a good sandwich. It just wasn't as good as I thought... read more

Sandwich & Sons - Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Unsafe sanitation practices, cross contamination all over the place... ( The guy at the counter didn't wash his hands) and wear some gloves please. The quality has really gone down since the place opened. We ordered the turkey, cranberry, cheddar and it was just processed turkey, no cranberry sauce this time... it wasn't bad but not worth $12. read more

First visit, after hearing so many good reviews, I'm surprised that it was only just OK. I had the roast chicken sandwich and the soup, which was south western turkey balls. The sandwich was not bad, it had roast chicken, cranberry sauce, stuffing and gravy, but honestly nothing special, and I found a couple huge chunks of gristle, certainly not worth the price, it also needed salt. Although, the roll was fantastic! The soup had mixed beans and chickpeas, bell peppers and turkey meatballs....Idk about you, but being described as south western makes me think of big, bold, spicy flavours. It didn't have that, it really didn't have much flavour at all, and desperately needed salt. The strips of peppers were so over cooked, they didn't have any flavour. The mix of beans were probably just thrown in from a can, no extra flavour to them The turkey meatballs were good, but I only got 2 in my bowl. I did not finish my soup, I've had better out of a can. I'd be willing to go back and try one of the other sandwiches, since so many people have said such good things, and my sandwich was really fresh. Oh, they have homemade pickles and potato chips, both absolutely delicious, which is why I'm giving a 3 instead of a 2. I'd go there just to get them. Maybe it'll be better next time, with different food choices on my part. read more

As always a great place- the sandwiches are generous, flavourful and the kettle chip fries are amazing as well. They are licensed so you can have an alcoholic beverage with your meal if you like. Everything is freshly made in house. The décor is trendy, and the location is easily accessible. The house made mustard and sauerkraut are so so good. A repeat customer here. I introduced my husband to this place as it is close to my work and he loves everything on the menu. Support local business!!! read more

Go to sandwich is the Montreal smoked meat. Also recommend the grilled cheese with added protein. Great consistent service. Only once I had a dry Montreal smoked meat. It did not deter me since 1 out ~30+ times I've had it isn't bad. read more

The Montreal Smoked meat sandwich was fantastic, along with the homemade chips. The service was great, will definitely be back again and recommend you give this place a try. read more

Oh my goodness!!!! Such a good choice for lunch!! I got the chicken sandwich and oh my it was delicious, the flavours are absolutely amazing and the chicken is cooked to perfection. The restaurant looks clean, love the decor in the bathroom with the green dispensers matching their company colours. HIGHLY recommend this a place to go for lunch. The guy making the sandwiches seemed really nice too! read more

I work near this AMAZING sandwich shop. I try not to eat here every day, but sometimes you just can't resist when it's that good! It gets a bit busy at lunch rush time (where doesn't though) but Alex and his team work really hard to get everyone the same quality deliciousness every time! Worth the tiny wait! If you haven't gone here, check it out! They also have breakfast sandwiches available from 7-10ish every day. I highly recommend ANY of his sandwiches. The home made kettle chips are the bomb (and they're free with your sandwich!). His home made soups are always good and full of flavor. The fresh made pickles are fantastic, I recommend buying a jar! The Roasted Chicken sandwich is filling and tantalizing on the taste buds, who doesn't like a holiday in a sandwich! However my go-to sandwiches are the BLT & Grilled Cheese, I'm a sucker for a delicious grilled cheese, especially one with a fantastic artichoke spread and a bunch of different cheeses! The Montreal Smoked meat is also worth a try, when I'm wanting a really meaty filling sandwich I go for the Montreal Smoked Meat with the home made saurkraut and fresh made seedy mustard on the marble rye... emm now I'm hungry! The fact that all of his stuff is locally sourced makes it that much more exciting. Whatever Alex is doing with his sandwiches is working. I'm hooked. You could be to! read more

A friend and I had lunch at Sandwich and Sons for the first time today. A clean utilitarian space, with efficient no nonsense service in a light industrial area in the city NorthWest. There is a food truck feel to the place and the menu We both ordered the Montreal Smoked meat sandwich. We were served a generous portion of moist, almost oily, meat between two slabs of thick cut , slightly stale, marbled rye bread. A thin layer of grainy home made mustard ( a l'ancienne?) had been spread on the bread and some cabbage resembling but not tasting like sauerkraut was spread below the meat. A quarter of a cucumber pickle and a bag of home made potato chips completed the serving. No other mustard ( e.g. yellow) was available. The sandwich was an edible meat sandwich but it is is clear that there is no deli pedigree in this kitchen, so if you are looking for a classic Montreal style smoked meat sandwich this is not it. The thin blondish hair I found in my sandwich did not add to the experience . We both have dark hair and two of the three (blondish) food servers were not wearing anything on their heads. There are probably better options in their menu. And for sure in the city read more

Just because its "local" doesn't mean its good. A server who didn't care what I ordered and was more interersted in socializing with friends; a mush sandwich wrapped in paper; all for the low low price of $11. read more

Great place for lunch. Generous portions and freshly made to order. Worth the price! read more

4.5 Stars. Tried the smoked meat sandwich. Finally an old school deli style smoked meat sandwich in Edmonton. Piled high with tender marbled smoked meat on rye bread with homemade mustard. Not quite matching Schwartz's (my gold standard) but getting pretty close. Chips were excellent also. A bit perplexed by the location. Far too hip for the industrial strip in which it is located. Will for sure return. read more

LOVE the BLT!!! Nice trendy little shop. We've gone back three times in the past month!

great food good service Montreal smoked meat sandwich is a winner great job chef ! make sure you show up before 12 to beat the rush read more

Pros: Food was great! I had the spicy Italian, and my mom had the grilled cheese. Portions are huge! Cons: our sandwiches were not made fresh, the gentleman working the counter took them out of the cooler and unwrapped them from the film wrap; I have no idea how long they were in that cooler for. He didn't wash his hands, nor wear gloves before handling our food. We sat at a table beside the window, and there were many dead bugs on the window ledge. The sandwich did not come on a plate, just on a piece of waxed paper on top of the tray...kind of odd. Overall, I was impressed with the food, but everything else kinda grossed me out. Probably won't return. read more

This place is fantastic. I have had almost everything on the menu. BLT would have to be my favourite. The chips that come with the sandwiches are great and the soup is always really good. I highly recommend it. Not sure why it has a lower star rating. I noticed someone reviewed it saying the sandwiches were great but only gave 3 stars. That's not very fair to the business as its a fine establishment with very high quality food. read more

Mikey like the sandwich here ! Best blt in edmonton. Locally sourced meats instead of the big food service conglomerates . wish edmonton had more independant eateries like dis. Keep it up sons mikey likes it ! read more

The first time i came here was good, although there was clothing thread in my soup. The second time was absolutely atrocious. Different cook from the first time. I'm not sure if it was because it was relatively busy, but the food was abysmal. The corn chowder soups literally tasted like water, and the philly cheese steak had cheese whiz only on the outside of the sandwich.... the meat was burnt and all the veggies were disgusting and over cooked. I would not recommend anyone come here again. Horrific experience. read more

Great service and amazing sandwich. Had the spicy Italian and it was huge and tasty. The homemade potato chips were great as well.

First time I visited they were out of meat. All meat other than bacon for the BLT. How can you be out of all your meat when you are a sandwich shop? Second time I visit. There is a sign saying you are closed for some repairs. I thought it was just that day. The sign had no time frame and seemed that it wouldn't be long. I went back the next week still closed! No time frame listed when they will be back. Notice on the FB page that they are opened again. I go that day and get 2 sandwiches. The smoke meat had meat that had turned color inside! So gross! Will never return again, terrible management with terrible food quality. read more
