Big Sky Bread Company

Big Sky seldom disappoints. The bread is always fresh and the sandwich ingredients are high quality. The soups are great too. One complaint: the sandwiches are too big!

Great breakfast sandwiches and bread – but, stay away from from the pizza and lunch sandwiches. Sandwiches are a big hot clash of flavors and the pizza is unremarkable (but sufficiently fills the void if you’re broke and hungry).

I really enjoyed the sandwich menu here. The store is small, crowded and a little crazy at lunch. The wait doesn’t take all that long and they seem to move through the lines fast.
I had the Viva Italiano and the Black Pastrami sandwich.
Italiano: I had this on the white bread and it was soft and delicious. I do wish it had a little bit more meat on the sandwich, but the cuts that they used were worth the $ 7 sandwich. Their blend of oil made the sandwich that much better and you could taste the freshness in their ingredients.
Pastrami: They put a very healthy portion of meat on this sandwich which i accompanied with multi-​grain bread. They have a marmalade on the bottom which added a whole new dimension to eating pastrami.
Both sandwiches were great, fresh, built on awesome bread and well priced.
It’s a little upsetting to see the picture of the burnt grilled cheese because it reflect poorly on the score of this place.

I hate to do this. Absolutely HATE it… but I have to give Big Sky a BIG FAT ONE STAR. This review is about my food, not about the Public Market House itself (which is pretty cool, in my opinion. and that amounts to something, right?).
I’m one of those people that is pretty easy going when it comes to food. Yeah, I can be picky about WHAT I order, but once I choose a dish, I almost never return it.
The last day or two, I’ve been pretty under the weather with a sinus cold. When my rumblin’ belly told me that I’d probably fall asleep under my desk if I didn’t get some nutrients soon, I walked around aimlessly until I found something to meet my sickly needs.
I didn’t think my stomach could handle the two soup flavors of the day, so I settled on a plain ol’ grilled cheese. When I sat upstairs to eat, I opened my tin foil and found… a burnt sandwich. As weak as I was, I wasn’t going to let this bring me down (after all, I would eat burnt toast if I were home, right?). Then I took a few bites. and the cheese wasn’t even melted. They used so much cheese that the sandwich just didn’t cook through. I ate half and couldn’t finish it.
What a bummer to an already drab day – and it was just a grilled cheese! Their other options may be perfectly fine (then again, my husband’s sandwich looked more like a cheese-​and-​lettuce than a ham-​and-​cheese), but I’ll never stop here again.

Not so much bread as so much SANDWICHES!
Sweet tender lord I did not know they had such good sandwiches right in Monument Square. They are located inside the Public Market House next to that place Dave’s I’ve never seen anyone go into but that somehow always has patrons. Creepy.
I was told to try this place for lunch, and I was happy to oblige because I think that while lunch is the most versatile meal, the sandwich is the most versatile instrument of feeding me one lunch.
I walked to the counter, which was packed, and had my order taken by a friendly guy with a remarkably intricate forearm tattoo. He took my order, and offered me to try a sample of their bread, of which several fresh loaves were chillin on the counter. I tried a slice of Harvest Wheat. It had a bunch of things floating in it (let’s call them scallions, for the sake of I don’t know what the hell they were) and it was tasty. Like tasty to the point that if someone had this bread at their house, you would say «Where the hell did you get this tasty bread?!»
My Viva Italiano sandwich came out, and I hefted it as I walked out the door. (no indoor seating unless you count the floor) I actually do that, where I heft the sammich to gauge whether it’s heavy enough to feed me. For $ 6.15 and not coming with fries or anything else, it needs to do the job by itself.
It was filled with genoa salami, ham, provolone, tomato, lettuce, purple onions, scallions, light mayo and a drizzle of cayenne-​flavored oil. (SEE PICTURE.) It was so damn good, the flavors combining perfectly and none overpowering all the others. Someone must have regulated the ingredient ratio, because it was seriously perfect. The Italian bread it came on was also soft and powdery, though a little crusty on the ends, which is good for bread but so-​so for a sandwich piece of bread.
They have a wide variety of other sandwiches and panini, and I will be going back for sure to try several more of them.
