It definitely was delicious, I'm really glad I decided to go. I had the chicken banh mi sandwich, it has Hoisin marinade, garlic aioli, Asian sesame sauce, pickled carrot, jalapenos and of course chicken! It's not typically what I would order but I was in the mood to try something new. On a toasted ciabatta bun this sandwich was amazing!! I would love to go back to try the pulled pork mac and cheese one too, these guys are very creative. My sandwich did not take long to make. Usually they have a small seating area where you can dine in, because of covid you would have to check to see if it's an option. Another thing I really liked about this place, they have checklists so you can build your own sandwich masterpiece! I would recommend this place to others in a heartbeat.

They cater to the local blue collar crowd and most of their business appears to be take out. Instead you will find three tables and they are rarely all full. Sandwiches come in medium and large. I've never tried the large but if you have been working hard outside all morning you should probably order a large sandwich or wrap. They also offer soup but I haven't tried it. The staff and / or owners are friendly and work hard to keep things moving along. The offer drip coffee. I definitely recommend the Sandwich Project regardless of whether or not you know what stream punk means.

The ambiance is what you expect with a hotel restaurant, but not unpleasant. It had bright splashy colours and was more inviting than a lot of places of been to. Service was great.

Normally I would not order this in a hotel restaurant, but it smelled to good to be passed up. Hubby went with his standard burger and fries. We recieved a complementary taster of butter chicken on a taco. It was good and a fun added bonus. Food came out quickly and both where delicous. My husband was pleased with the amount of meat and flavour on his burger, and my Indian dish was as delicous as it smelled. Don't overlook this place :) We will be back!

Figured it was time to update my review since Phat Tony's has moved…read more Their new space is much bigger then the previous location, with lots more tables than before, and even some couches. They've also extended their hours a bit so they're open earlier and little later than before, but Phat Tony's is still a breakfast/lunch place. They're not open for dinner. I haven't tried any of the breakfast sandwiches, but I've come here for lunch a couple of times. You can dine in or take your sandwich to do. Their sandwiches are freshly made and massive. They come with a dill pickle wedge, and side (garden salad or coleslaw or potato salad). I always opt for the potato salad. I generally don't like restaurant potato salads (prefer homemade) but I love the potato salad at Phat Tony's. They also usually have a few soups on hand if you want something warm. And there are salads and wraps too. They also usually have some baked goods and squares, but the portions are so large I never have room for dessert. If you leave Phat Tony's hungry you've done it wrong. If you're looking for a sandwich in Leduc definitely give Phat Tony's a go. I'll be back again.

Interesting concept for a bakery & I can't believe this review got stuck in my drafts…read more You grab your tray as you enter (don't forget the wax paper lining & personal tongs for your bakery selection needs) & then go to town selecting your coveted treats (extremely hard to decide if you're trying to only choose one). As the dessert displays are set up like a buffet, you're able to grab your dessert or breads yourself. Lots of cake options (by the slice) closer to the till too. However, I am way too distracted by earlier bakery options before I ever see the cake slice options. There's a wide range of desserts, snacks & even lighter meal options. For me the croissant as a doughnut is a must to try (most places call it a cronut). Whatever it is called here, it is deliciously tasty (the first visit here, I tried the custard one) with just the right amount of messiness. There's lots of drink options too. The lavender matcha frap will absolutely be a return summer drink for me (& that says a lot, as I don't usually enjoy matcha kind of mixes). I also really appreciated the barista bringing my drink over so I didn't have to worry about too full of cup while walking with a cane. Of course there's different breads to enjoy too. I bought a loaf of raisin bread on my way out & my goodness... TASTY! Truly, if the price wasn't so high for size the loaf, I would of gone back for another loaf before the week was over (it's that good!). Do check to make sure the bags are closed when you're grabbing something (some have weak twist ties). Things to note on the difference from Whyte Ave location. -Brand new place but there's less seating (at least indoors). However, there's an interesting gathering area just outside. -Outdoor seating area is like a general gathering spot for the area & can be used for seating groups or families if it's nicer weather. Even a dropped down area to keep the kids corralled. -As this location is in the SW, there's always lots of parking, even on a hockey play-off night. -I didn't see any specific handicap spots along the shops & restaurants that are all joined together. Maybe they've added some now, as things were still being finished up when I was there in June. -For those with hearing challenges, it might be a bit hard to visit during busy times due to how full the place can get (even if the majority is taking to go). I really like the fun atmosphere & what seemed like endless options for a lovely coffee visit. Great to have a decent bakery this far SW & I'm sure I'll be back there again this coming summer while visiting friends.

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.

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.
