Around the Bend

This is a great little place located in the south suburbs. We were greeted by the friendly owner who took the time to explain the menu and how all the meat is fresh, not deli meat, and the spreads/​sauces are in house made. You can choose the sandwiches on the board or decide on your own fillings. They also offer a few side salads and sweet pretzels.
Our sandwiches were brought out to us, and were they ever huge! My boyfriend couldn’t finish his. The ingredients were fresh and so was the pretzel bread.
I am craving more of the ginger carrots that were put on my veggie sandwich.
The owners wife came up to us before we left to apologize for having her children in the shop and running around.
She offered us some free cookies she baked earlier. A very sweet gesture since the kids weren’t bothering us at all, but she insisted.
Will definitely be back.

Very yummy. Just wish the price was a little better for the sandwiches. The staff are always really nice. Restaurant is always really clean.

I’ve been here a few times now and all of my visits have been excellent.
The potato crisps are like crack. They’re made fresh to order so they’re warm, crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. I could almost just have a couple orders of them and skip the sandwiches. That being said, the sandwiches really can’t be skipped. They’re huge and delicious. Some are messier than others so grab a few extra napkins.
The first time I came in the owner gave my wife and I the full run down and was very helpful in our ordering. Subsequent visits have been just as friendly.
My only complaint is that they were hard to find the first time. They’re on the NW corner of the CO-​OP so you can’t really see them when driving around the parking lot. They’re hidden down the lane between CO-​OP and the bank.

My wife loves her pretzels and this place meets her expert opinion on pretzel eating as a great place to get a pretzel. Staff was awesome and completely explained the whole menu as they asked if it was our first time. We will return for sure as it’s affordable and they make everything fresh in house including their sauces and meats for sandwiches.

Best sandwich ever. These guys really have a knack for taste and presentation. The menu has a great selection and the guys were great in helping me decide what to order. Very friendly service, fantastic atmosphere and delicious food. A little tough to find but worth the effort! Keep it up guys

Beyond helpful at the counter. It was my first time, and I didn’t even have to specify that. The gentleman asked if I’d like help with the menu and gave me a full rundown along with suggestions.
I don’t even have words to describe how good my pretzel was. I will definitely be back!

Amazing sandwich !
What a terrible location to find but Wow !
Fresh in house made meats and ingredients, my only regret is not having enough appetite left to try one of the pretzels !
