Food is good, however the ambi was poor. The location at 118ave and 149 street had the morning radio on and so loud it took away from a quiet morning to simply enjoy a breakfast and have a quiet meaningful conversation. it would have been best to not play the commercial radio at all. Who determined that they should play the radio that loud and that early in the morning. I don't think that they understand a that blaring radio takes away from the experienc. So when this happen, who do you tell. read more

Who doesn't love a fresh and classic sandwich? Who doesn't love a freshly baked pie? Fifendekel is one of those places that has been around forever, to the point where you might not regularly think of them. But maybe you should. Sandwiches and pie are their literal bread and butter! The Edmonton Journal named Fifendekel the Best Sub/Sandwich Shop 2021 which goes to show that even though they've been around for 41 years, this sandwich shop is still doing something incredibly right. While I've eaten their catering at work meetings many times in the past, I'm not sure that I'd ever visited their actual location. I was happy to pop in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch! Speaking of locations, Fifendekel has four of them in the city - you can find them in practically every corner of town. However, I believe that their southside shop in Coronet Industrial is the oldest. Yes, it's a bit of a weird area filled with a bunch of warehouses, but it's surprising the amount of cool businesses that can be found in these types of areas. Not everyone can be located on the coolest street in town and you will certainly miss out if you don't venture off of the beaten path. The restaurant itself is large and spacious on the inside with many tables for seating. There's room for everyone! The casual room feels like it was updated recently with modern paint colours and art framed in fun primary-coloured frames. Because of the large space I did find the lighting a bit dark as there isn't much natural light toward the back of the restaurant. Approaching the counter, it becomes immediately apparent that this is where all of the magic is happening. One counter is dedicated to creating customized sandwiches while the opposite side is a gleaming showcase of pie slices. The staff working was quite young and while they got the job done effectively, I found that they didn't have any desire to answer questions and seemed inconvenienced by much else than staying on task. I was excited to order a sandwich because the sandwiches are the main thing! It had to be the Auto Bahn (A turkey, roast beef, and ham road trip - $9.99) for me because it felt the most special. As you can tell, there's an underlying German vibe at Fifendekel. I was first asked the type of bread that I wanted. Fifendekel offers; white, 60% wheat, multigrain, rye, gluten-free, and their in-store baked and hand sliced sunflower bread. Clearly the best choice is the housemade sunflower bread. They didn't have it. The person making my sandwich seemed annoyed that I even asked for it. So I settled for multigrain. Made right in front of me, I was able to choose and customize the exact toppings that I wanted on my sandwich, creating my own handheld masterpiece. There were quite a lot of choices and I selected mustard & mayo, tomato, lettuce, sprouts, pickles, and both cheddar and havarti cheese. It was a tall stack! I enjoyed this incredibly fresh sandwich very much. While they didn't have the bread that I wanted, the multigrain was lovely and soft. It seemed to have been baked recently and was a delightful container for the rest of the sandwich - not too crusty or dense. The deli meats were of high quality. Their roast beef is touted as Alberta's best and oven roasted. All of the vegetables were beautifully bright, lending themselves to a rainbow of freshness between bread slices. This was an excellent, well-made sandwich. It's what a sandwich is supposed to be. I would have liked if the sandwich came with a little side of chips or something, that would be a really nice touch. We were struggling with what to order for my son and no one suggested The Essentials sandwich, which is purposely made for kids. I only realized that this was an option later. The staff just didn't seem very engaged or interested in being helpful. Of course soups and salads are a main meal component at Fifendekel. A sandwich with a soup or a salad is basically the most classic lunch that there is. After some consideration I decided to try the Curry Pasta Salad ($4.15 for regular size) which was the feature salad for the day. It looked pretty good! This pasta salad was a delight! The creamy curry sauce was distinct and flavourful, coating every piece of pasta thoroughly. There were nice crisp vegetables throughout and the biggest surprise were the raisins! I did not expect to find raisins in this salad but I loved them. They added little bursts of sweetness which balanced beautifully with the sweetness from the curry. I know that people "don't like raisins in things" but in this case it was a success. I wanted to try the Dekeled Eggs, a mini ham and cheddar quiche but they didn't have any. The other very important aspect of Fifendekel is the pie. The whole thing is the pie! In fact, the restaurant started because they used to make ice cream and they wanted pie to go with the ice cream. Not the other way around! Today their menu boasts at least 16 different types of pie with various rotating feature pies al read more

Been to fifendekel a number of times, it's a busy place, the sandwiches are excellent. Had the chicken salad sandwich and the egg salad sandwich. Both were very satisfying, I didn't have any but the pies looked delicious and so did the choices of side salads and soups. If you go to their website you can see what the daily menu throughout the days of the week will be.Enjoy! read more

I have to give a big shout out to the 51 Ave location and Jacquie for her generous support! I love their sandwiches and never buy white bread for my house so I enjoy having a sandwich on white bread when I go This location is always busy but the girls get you through the lineup fast! Anyways, I can't say enough good things about them and how much they do for the community to give back! They were awesome to support my event and donated all the bagged lunches, including the sandwiches, drinks, cookies... and even a mint! Everyone loved how made fresh for us that day everything was. Thank you fife n dekel, your generosity and community support is greatly appreciated!!! I have too many favorite sandwiches and pies to pick just one. read more

Fifendekel - Soup Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I heard good things about their sandwiches and pies, so had to try it out. We went in around noon on a Friday and all the tables were full already. The atmosphere was nice. I ordered the sandwich special of the day which was a Tuna salad on a whole wheat bread. The tuna salad tasted great, the vegetables were really fresh and top top it off the bread was amazing. I got to know that they make their own bread in store on the same morning. I tried one of their apple pies as well which was quite good. I'll be coming back for more. Next time it's gonna be the chicken salad sandwich. read more

Your staff was really throwing sandwiches together today. This location is a mess. Dark and dirty. I don't know what you do to your staff, but they look miserable. Service with a smile? Not even close. Won't be back. read more

Fifendekel - a sandwich on a plate with lettuce - Soup Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I'm a big fan of Fife and I think I've been to every location around the city. I like the setup of this one best. It's arranged in a U-Shape so you loop in and out and don't have to wiggle through other customers to get back to the door. Produce is always fresh and tasty. Bread is never old or stale tasting. In my experience the staff have always been friendly and ready to help. I do think the prices are a little high... but if I'm going to be too lazy to make my own sandwich, I deserve to pay a bit more lol read more

Sure, you can make a sandwich at home... but can you may pie like Fife N' Dekel? If the answer is yes, I'm eagerly awaiting an invitation to a dinner party at your place! If you're like me, and you like picking up the occasional lunch-to-go on your lunch break or before heading into work, and you don't want the typical fast food place or Tim Horton's, this is your stop. A variety of beverages await you, as well as a variety of sandwiches and soups. Rye bread? Multigrain? White? Turkey, PB&J or Tuna? There are a variety of combinations and vegetables for you to add. Want a soup or salad for your sandwich? They've got some options. Their pie case usually has at least half a dozen different varieties for you to try, and there are normally cookies and other baked goods to take with you as well. The pie is delicious and every month a new monthly pie is featured. The service at Fife N' Dekel is friendly, and never without a smile. It's the kind of place where you ask to speak to a manager to commend the great customer service. The prices are a little pricey, and I wouldn't recommend this to be an everyday lunch destination for hungry nearby workers. However, if you do stop by there is seating to accommodate you and your lunchmates. read more

Chicken salad on sunflower bread with sprouts! What's your sandwich order? The lineups can be long but the ladies here just pound people through, they know what they are doing and it shows. It can get hectic during peak lunch hours, but if you can go early or later (after 1:30) the crowd definitely thins out. Fresh ingredients, nothing overly complicated and the sunflower bread is baked in house. I almost never let myself eat bread anymore so when I do it better be worth it and THIS BREAD IS WORTH IT. Do yourself a favour and don't even bother with any other kind. As much as I enjoy a really good sandwich (and believe me, I do. I could talk about sandwiches for a good long time with my dad or brothers) we all know why we're really there--the pie. Pick a flavour, any flavour, you really can't go wrong. I like the cherry but I LOVE the chocolate. Save room, it's worth it. read more

Fifendekel - Chicken salad on sunflower bread and cherry pie! - Soup Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I had heard so much hype about Fife N' Dekel that I figured it was finally time to try it. Ugh. What a disappointment. Why did I just spend $18 on two sandwiches I could have made at home? Was this supposed to be the appeal? "Home made?" My sandwich was dry (my boyfriend claimed this was because I didn't put mayo on my bread, which could be part of it, but the turkey was pretty dry too...) but the bread was certainly fresh. I like that they seemed to use really fresh produce, but again, I could have spent $6 at Sobey's and bought all the produce and bread and made myself the exact same sandwich. The place was hopping, and the line was moving very fast, so I can see the pull that this place may have. The desserts looked amazing, but I didn't try one. The only reason I would go back here would be to try one of their lemon meringue pies (which looked HUGE) or pecan pies. I will not return for the sandwiches. I suggest you do not go out of your way either. read more

Fifendekel - the front of a cheese shop - Soup Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I stayed in the vehicle while my friend picked up a pie. According to her they wore gloves, wiped the counter often and served one person at a time in carry away boxes. We got two pieces of cherry sour cream pie and I can tell you they were delicious. read more

I have been going to fife and deckel for many years into various locations here in Edmonton. Noticed lately quality has gone downhill but especially at the 51st Ave. store which I believe was the first store here. Today on my way back from moving in between houses decided to stop for a sandwich and ordered the Montreal smoked beef. Service was slow as usual but it was 1130. Came home with my lunch took a bite of my sandwich and was looking for the actual smoked beef. There was one slice of thinly sliced deli sliced meat and 1/2 a slice in the whole sandwich. Was totally disgusted by the flavour as there was nothing in the sandwich. And also I'm sure a lot of other people in my position that money is not something we like to throw away on stuff that goes in the garbage. I don't know what's happening to the quality of food and quantity because I don't think one thin slice of meat constitutes a sandwich. Won't be returning it's just not worth the waste of money. Really too bad because it used to be quite good read more

Sandwiches are great! Sunflower seed bread delicious. However, when I pointed out that my wicked Thai soup was only half full, (it was the last bit they had) the staff claimed that they only charged half for the soup, which wasn't the case. Double check container levels before paying! read more

Always good, fresh and fast. Tuesday and Thursday they serve stew. Beats all fast food.

went here for lunch about a month ago. It's a lovely little space (the decor is great) with a warm and welcoming environment. The sandwiches are good & very filling, if nothing special. But the pie - oh the pie! It's decadent and sweet and wonderful & filled to bursting with fruit. You can also get it with whipped cream or ice cream too. Best of all? If it's your first visit to Fife and Deckle, the pie is on THEM. No, I'm not joking, it really is FREE. I left a very happy and very full girl :) read more

Great sandwiches and soup, but pricey if you order both. The sandwich is big enough for lunch on it's own. You'll be offered cheese but not told you'll pay for it.... Busy around noon and early afternoon, the staff handle the lines quite quickly. Quirky cashier that's there most of the time always cracks a little joke. Anyways, you can blow $7 on fast food or get a nice, hearty, nutritious sandwich for the same money.....that's why I come here. read more

This Place is AWESOME! always some kind of daily special. Today was the Turkey Sandwich w/ soup or salad. i went with the marinated Veggie salad. so good!! veggies super fresh! just perfect!!! The turkey sandwich, bread so fresh! and it's REAL turkey..not lunch meat stuff. You can pick cranberries, lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, green peppers, onions, banana peppers, and pickles too. for dessert went with the cherry pie... mmmm. so good. Hands down one of the BEST places for Sandwich on the southside of Edmonton. TIP!!! Go BEFORE NOON!! to beat the RUSH!! oh and is it ever busy there!!! it's a little pricy, but well worth it:) you wont be disappointed. Enjoy!! read more

One of Edmonton's original sandwich shops and one of the longest lasting for a reason. ALL the ingredients are from fresh beef roasts, fresh turkey breasts, roasted on site and home made soups. Never mind the awesome pies that are baked right there. Non processed, non massed produced food might cost a few cents more but my health is worth it. read more

Yummy soup and sandwich place. Today I had the roast beef with potato bacon soup. There service is quick an efficient to get you in an out on your lunch break an quality of food is well taken care of. I everything is fresh an decently priced. Happy with the lady's that work here an how they treated me when I came in during the lunch rush. read more

Fife N' Dekel isn't anything special. At least their sandwiches aren't. The sandwiches are good but seem a bit overpriced for what you are getting. You could definitely make most of this stuff at home. I was more impressed with their desserts. They have one called the embellished brownie that is served with your choice of ice cream or whipped cream. Ice cream is the way to go. It is a really great dessert and it was less than $3. It's worth checking out but don't expect to be blown away. If I were to go again it would be to stop in for some dessert. read more

I absolutely love the chicken salad sandwiches on sunflower bread nothing beats it! However the soups do not taste homemade this taste like they're out of the bag. Unfortunately the lineups are always too long to service the lunch crowd read more

$490 for lunch for 25. When did a sandwich, a juice, fruit and veggies and a tart become $17 a person. Fife is good if you drop by but they soak you if you order in quantity. Buy local is kind of hard when the owners jack their rates up. read more

Good fresh sandwiches, salads and pies! You can't go wrong with tasty fresh food! When I worked in the area I was here every other day. And I never turned the pecan pie down. Great variety in bread and buns and every topping you need for a great sandwiche! Daily specials and deals will keep you coming back and saving $$$$. read more

Fifendekel - Millions of Peaches! - Soup Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Had a turkey sandwich from here last week that tasted off when I bit into it. I opened the sandwich I was surprised to see turkey meat that was gray.... Needless to say I dd not eat the sandwich. Made me question the freshness of the meat that they are serving. I will not spend my hard earned $$$ at this location. read more

Great little shop. Stopped in today for lunch. 1st visit. The staff was very friendly and walked me through their selections. I settled on a cranberry and turkey sandwich with fresh sprouts on some delicious home made bread. Stuck with the turkey theme for my soup. Also delicious. The room was bright but could use a little refresh. Great spot overall. Food was great, service was better than expected. I will definitely repeat when I'm back in town read more

Very busy but fast location. Good sandwiches, a touch over priced so I don't eat it all the time. Love the butter tarts and pies. For a pop, sandwich and pie it was around 13 bucks. Good fill. read more

This place comes up as a gluten-free eatery with gluten-free pies on their menu but I called and was told that gluten-free pies must be pre-ordered and bought whole. What a disappointment. read more

This is my new favourite sandwich place. I adore the roast beef on multi grain! The sandwiches are so hearty and really fill you up! Put sprouts on my sandwich? yes please! This place has so many different sandwich options and a ton of other selections. The staff are extremely helpful and patient if you can't decide what you want. This place gets super busy at noon so I definitely recommend the 11:30 line, still decently sized but definitely shorter. These sandwiches are fresh, so good! I can't get enough! I just want them to pack me a sandwich everyday for lunch! Yummy!!! read more

LOVE IT LOVE IT...the bread itself is fantastic..I reccomend the montreal smoked sandwhich with a slice of pie. I love pie they have any kind you want, you can even joy the pie club and they will send you a pie a month. My fav is the fresh Strawberry pie, I was there for 2 straight weeks because of that pie...fannnntastic. The staff is super friendly and if your there enough, like moi, they get to know you and greet you by your name. Just awesome. Ive taken others there and I've never heard a complaint. GO HERE NO JOKE read more

Pies are well known in Edmonton and for good reason. My favourite is their Flapper pie but lemon meringue is great as well.

Best sandwiches ever, I like how you get to choose what you want on it and watch them make it. The pie is a must try, it's so delicious! ... It can be a little pricey if you get a meal, but very worth it in the end money well spent. Your first visit you get a free pie, which I didn't know until about my 5th time going there when someone asked me, so if you are going for the first time just mention it to them! read more

If you want a tasty but overpriced sandwich, this is the place to go. It's not a big sandwich for the price (~$7-8) but the ingredients are fresh and the sunflower bread is tasty. Their pies are ok- a nice addition to the meal but I don't think you're missing out if you skip it. Huge props to the Southside staff on how efficiently they can get through a long line! read more

What the heck happened??? Fifendekel was once the pinnacle of good pie in Edmonton now it's the pits. Gone is their thick, flakey signature crust now replaced with a thin, tasteless one. The creamy, hand stirred, yummy, egg based, custard fillings replaced with starch based,bounce back, stick to your mouth, gobs of pure yuckiness. And the mounds of fresh cream topping, and gorgeous, thick piped, rosettes replaced with a thin swipe of cream, and a small edge of piping. Even the fruit fillings that used to be big, bright, and chunky, look like they were poured out straight from a can. Asked to stay or to go? Did it matter??? Even the in-house experience was lost on thin plastic plates with plastic forks rather than a dish and cutlery. The whole experience a loss. The only "upside"??? A reduction in price which "almost" reflects the reduction in quality. Oh Fifendekel...who did this to you my old friend? So sad. read more

This place is just down the street from my work so I stop in often for a quick lunch and it's great. I try to go early to avoid the lunch rush because it can get crazy busy. I wouldn't say the food here is particularly amazing but it's fresh and tasty. The sunflower bread is really delicious and made in-store. Lots of variety on the menu and specials that change each day. The pies are probably the highlight, but they offer plenty of other baked goods as well. Nice homemade quality to everything. read more

A little on the pricey side, but it's worth it. Amazing sandwiches and superb pies!! I will definitely be coming back :)

Love this place. Come here often for lunch on workdays, food is fresh, made from scratch, and is delicious. Your sandwich is made Subway style (i.e. you choose the type of bread, meat, toppings... etc.) before moving on to their side selections (Soup, salad, veggies...etc) and finally pass through the dangerous pie window right next to the cashiers. Although main menu is fixed, pies are varied every now and then with a dozen or so different kinds to choose from. read more

Honestly it wasn't really good at all, The sandwich felt wet and soggy, The soup taste like Bulk Synco soup like the kinds that serve at hospitals and add extra ingredients to make it 'Hearty' If your ready to spend $12.00+ Be my guest! But you'll wish they do refunds, But that put up a huge fuss and think there better then many because of there Lunch rush, Everywhere has a lunch rush... Common sense. read more

The cost is worth it IMO. Great food! On a cold day get the stew or chilli special it makes my week worth while. Line moves fast and always save room for pie!!! read more
