The Sando Co — Restaurant in Kalispell

On our last day of touring Bigfork, MT, we had to kill time before our flight. We started off the day with a super cool classic car show all over downtown. Then, we had some more time to kill, so we decided to grab some lunch before heading to the airport. We had done very well listening to our local friends so far this trip, so we asked them for one more recommendation.

They recommended this place. And thank goodness they did. Ambiance was super cool. A lowkey location in a strip mall, the inside struck me like a nice, hippy couple decorated it. It was pretty chill vibes, as the kids say. Each member of the hippy couple brought their ethnic background to the table here, one Italian and one Portuguese. Pretty neat combination.

They were very nice folks. Very good customer service. There are only two of them, though, so if there's a line, prepare to be in for a wait. I didn't mind, since our goal was to kill time anyway. Also, a side note, the inside of the store was very hot the day we came, so we opted to order and eat outside. There are a couple of tables and chairs out there, thankfully.

As for the food, I forget exactly what we ordered, but I'm like 80% sure that I ordered the Chourico & Peppers (Spicy, smoked Portuguese sausage, slow cooked with ripe tomatoes, fresh bell peppers and yellow onions).

Excellent sandwich. A nice, hearty, crispy, soft baguette stuffed with the meat concoction. And the meat was very flavorful. Very smoky sausage, which might have been just too heavy on its own, but it had some help from the peppers and onions. Really good stuff.

I also got to try an Italian sandwich. I'm not sure which one at all. It was a special written on the board, so I can't find it on their regular menu, but it was also good. Fresh, simple ingredients. Same, delicious bread. Solid. But I would choose the Portuguese options every time, though, since that's a rarer cuisine in this country.

Overall, I'm so glad we stopped here. I love supporting small business, I love trying new things, and I love the quaint little town of...

So turns out this is a fantastic sandwhich shop. A friend told us it was good but we didn't try it until today. We ordered the Italian sanwhich and the Caprese, as well as a sode and bag of chips. Both were made with high quality ingredients and tasted excellent. Flavors really came out. The only thing to be aware of is they basically only have Italian and Portugese options, so don't expect some Baja Chicken or Philly Cheese steak here. It feels like the staff here strive to make a high quality product. We will be...

The sandwiches are some of the best I’ve ever had! The ingredients are fresh and the bread is made by them.

They’re also using some local items when they can and I love businesses that support other businesses.

There’s a few chairs inside but more a place to wait for your food. There’s a few outside tables.

I hope they are so wildly successful that they open a larger, sit-down restaurant soon because the sandwiches...
