We stopped here for the first time today because we had a rare errand to the northwest. A quick…read morecheck on the Yelp app pointed to Big Daddy Sandwich so that's were we stopped. Big Daddy is not actually very big. Most tables were for two and even though it was only around 11:00 am on Monday, most tables were in use. We sat at the bar looking out the window. We placed our order at the counter. This is where they shocked me by saying that they don't sell coffee. I wasn't expecting anything fancy but no coffee at all was a shock that cost them one star (that means if you don't want coffee you can consider this a 5 star rating). We asked for cups of tap water but they didn't have cups either. He eventually offered us free bottled water so we would have something to drink. That was very nice of them. I ordered the southwestern chicken wrap. It was delicious. It also had quite a bite to it because of the hot peppers. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. I can certainly recommend this wrap to anyone. My partner ordered the fried egg sandwich from the breakfast menu. She really liked it. Washrooms were large and clean. There was a steady stream of people coming and going at 11:00 am so at noon it must be crazy busy. If you can live without coffee with your sandwich you will be happy you stopped at Big Daddy Sandwich.

PALS!!! I have been a huge fan since their opening day in 2022 and it's about time that I finally…read morewrite about them! Part of the venerable Strathcona restaurant monopoly of The Next Act (the OG), Meat (the meaty one), Pip (the brunchy one), and Marlo (the taco one), Pals holds their own as the sandwich one. This five-restaurant stronghold wouldn't work if each and every one of them wasn't so dang good. But they are. Pals showed up on the scene after Pip moved across the street and there was enough room in the building to fit a delightful little sandwich shop in there as well. Pals to the left and Pip to the right - and one (beautiful) shared washroom downstairs for both. It's a pretty harmonious arrangement as far as I can tell! Pals might be a small little sandwich guy but it boasts a beautiful outdoor patio in the summertime that just about doubles the space. Named Favourite Handheld on the Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2024 list and most recently awarded Best Sandwich 2025 in EDify Magazine, you'll also find them on the Worldwide Faves section of this very website. The interior is somewhat small but very bright and fresh. Casual light wood high-tops, counter seating, a few bench seats near the back, and the aforementioned patio. You'll also note pops of their signature yellow, especially on their unmistakable brick facade outside. The restaurant feels breezy and gives off a comfortable vibe that makes you want to "stop in to grab a quick sandwich." And maybe people-watch out the window for a few minutes. The staff is also super friendly which makes you feel like you're hanging out with your pals. (Ha! See what I did there?) Situated at a table on a Saturday evening, I was looking for the maximum Pals experience! Pals is all about the drinks and offers an impressive array of cocktails and beer, especially for such a small shop. The Winter Sangria sounded like a seasonally appropriate delight while their Caesar made with pepperoncini brine is an ideal compliment to their use of pepperoncini elsewhere on the menu. On this visit I opted for the Strathcona Sling (Gin, cherry liqueurs, orange & pineapple juice, bitters - $15.00) which not only sounded delicious but also might be the signature beverage of the entire neighbourhood. This drink sounds like it might be pretty sweet but I didn't find that about it. It's very refreshing and the grown-up flavours from the gin and bitters hold their own. What sounds like a kid's shirley temple actually tastes quite adult. This would absolutely be the quintessential patio beverage on a hot summer day during the Fringe - a cocktail that lives up to it's name. The Pals food menu is an extravaganza of sandwiches! There are fourteen different sandwiches in two categories; made hot or served fresh. There's usually a feature sandwich as well. Be prepared for sandwiches like you've never seen them before! But the snacks, soups, and salads are incredible as well and the quality certainly doesn't stop with the sandwiches alone. In an effort to dig into this part of the menu a bit more I thought it prudent to order the Soup & Salad Combo (Choice of soup & salad with house focaccia - $19.00). A great option if maybe you don't want a sandwich. Pals usually has two different soups and salads on the go so you're able to customize this dish with whatever combo you like. I chose the House Soup (dill pickle & spicy pepperoncini) and The Other House Salad (iceberg lettuce, tomato, green onion, blue cheese, bacon, buttermilk ranch). Let's start with the soup. How unique!! You've never tasted a zingy little bowl of soup like this before! I don't know about you, but I love a dill pickle soup very much (maybe it's my Eastern European ancestry) but the addition of pepperoncini totally changes the game. This soup packs a punch but in the most interesting and delicious way. And then the salad! I ordered this one because it sounded like a wedge salad (one of my favourites) without the wedge. A deconstructed wedge salad, if you will. And boy did it deliver! The flavours of tomato and bacon together are so classic and the generous chunks of crumbled blue cheese were perfection. I loved how well-dressed everything was - not a dry leaf in the house. A salad may sound like a boring thing to order but certainly not in this case. Let's not forget the focaccia which cannot be treated as an afterthought because it was incredible. This bread was impossibly light while still possessing the unctuous and oily quality that you want from a focaccia. The crust was impossibly crispy and dusted in salt. What a dream! Honestly, I know that you need to order a sandwich... But maybe you don't? I'm going to have an existential crisis about this. But yes, I obviously ordered a sandwich. This might be an unpopular opinion but I highly favour the "served fresh" sandwiches at Pals by a lot. The BLT is the best in the entire city, I swear. The Burrata is completely insane - I've never seen a stack of prosciutto so high.

I am not particulary a sandwich person when we go out. However, we did want to try the new Pals…read moreSandwiches that opened up just off of Whyte Ave. They also had the sweetest patio which happened to have a few free spots. We ordered a couple of beers (Mojito Sour) and the Italian Pilsner. My husband also ordered a cocktail (the Spicy Paloma). The cocktail was okay but overpriced. It kinda tasted like the ones that you order at a place like Boston Pizza. However, the beers were refreshing and hit the spot. Menu is basic with a variety of Sandwiches, fries, soups and salads. We decided to try two sandwiches and share them. I chose the feature of the day which was a cheddar beef sandwich with a side of tortilla soup. Hubby chose the Reuban with fries. Service was friendly and our water glasses were filled constantly. Sandwiches came out pretty fast. They were well constructed and tasty. They both had a decent amount of meat in them. Definately the Reuban was more flavourful than the cheese and beef. My soup was awesome. Hubby's fries were average. Is this the best place to get a sandwich? No. But if you want a quick bite with decent food with a lovely atmosphere, check it out.

If you see this shop anywhere and like turkey, stop by and try the Holiday Turkey sandwich. You'll be glad you did.

Luckily there's always lots of street parking nearby and it's walkable. I couldn't decide on what to order so I ordered them all to share for the 3 of us. My favourites were the beef dip and the caprese! The beef dip was phenomenal and it was beefy and cheesy at the same time. I like how you can upgrade your combo for $3.49 or $4.49 for an extra side. I got a Mac n cheese and it was definitely super cheesy! The brownie was very moist and satisfying! It's just like the sandwiches in the USA. And I'm glad it's available in yeg. Its alot better than subway. And frankly the unique options make this place. I have yet to try the turkey stuffing sandwich. It sounds so delicious!

Super close to my work, but I had no idea it existed until it showed up on my Feed Me app. Decided…read moreto try it out and had high hopes... Walking in, it looked a bit sketchy and I was the only one there on a weekday at 12:30 in an area surrounded by businesses. Plastic tablecloths on a few tables, a "salad" bar with questionable looking wilted salad and a basket of pre-packaged desserts. Looks to be run by a couple, and when I walked in the man pointed out the specials board whereas the woman stayed seated playing on her phone. I ordered the spaghetti and meatball special - and that plus a can of pop came to just under $8. Not a bad deal for a hefty portion. Unfortunately, as I'm standing there waiting I looked around a bit more and noticed how messy the kitchen looked and all the food that was left sitting out (a few plates of uncovered hot dogs and what looked like pulled beef that was getting dry, etc.) I watched my spaghetti being made - it was already cooked noodles that he re-heated in hot water, then a scoop of sauce and a few meatballs. It was a very hefty portion in a styrofoam container which he wrapped in saran (actually, this is a great way to do it for people doing take out to avoid leaks and spills, so kudos to him for that) and then a buttered roll that he also saran wrapped. The taste was fine; think if someone took a jar of pre-made sauce and didn't really do anything to add flavour and just heated it up with ground beef, then threw frozen meatballs into it and heated them up too. Everything was ok, but I don't know if I'll be returning. I would hesitate to order anything that was cold or uncooked (ie. a mayo based salad) because I'm not quite sure their food handling/storage was up to par.

It's the season for anything apples, so I was happy to find a caramel apple cronut & went for a classic grick middle (as per their website & one of my favs - Fried Egg, Bacon, Rosemary Aioli, Smoked Cheddah, Tomato Jam, Arugula). Sadly with a cane & a reuseable bag, I couldn't take a coffee to go (stair logistics are hard enough) but it's always a great cup when I do have a free hand. Oh, I should mention in case I've never did in previous reviews, neither of these food options are something one wants to eat when trying to look presentable. As it's deliciously messy! There's a few bar seats at this location but it's best to take your food to go. At this particular location (there's 4 locations now!) there's no accessible entrance (nor exit). Kind of baffles my mind on why they didn't build a ramp with the newer set of stairs at the exit door. I even made the comment that it's really too bad they don't use the order window on the side (like they did in the pandemic), for us that need to avoid the challenge of stairs. There's also no railings on the steps, so be sure footed in wet & winter conditions (even if you're not disabled). So as much as I love the food & coffee at Farrow, I have to leave it as it's a place I'm going to only on a randomly decent mobility day for the knees & legs.
