This place has the most unique combinations of items in their sandwiches and it just works. Ordered one with pork and it was so amazing. The sweet and sour elements were so good together.The place was very busy when we got there so it took a bit of time but worth the wait.There is a picnic table outside so you can dine with your pooch if you like. Be sure to ask them for a bacon treat if you do (your dog will love you for it.)

Got here about 12:15 ... the place was busy which is a positive. The locals suggested the pulled pork sandwich ... so made the order. Based upon about 8 people ahead of us, figured we'd have a 10 to 15 minute wait ... well it was almost a half hour until we received the sandwich. There was probably about ten people that ordered after us that received their sandwich ahead of us - the guy explained some sandwiches take longer ... which was really not the case as they just kept moving our ticket to the end for some unknown reason - they just screwed up on the tickets. Very disappointed in the wait but hoped the sandwich would make up for it - well it didn't.The sandwich was small, had very little meat on it and I wouldn't distinguish it from any other pulled pork sandwich I've ever eaten. So again very disappointed. And from a value perspective, $12 for the small sandwich, another $3.50 for a small glass of lemonade and we even gave a 15% tip when we ordered. For almost $18, could have had a much better meal just about anywhere in the area.Now I know they were busy and it seemed there were a few people behind the counter that looked stressed / inexperienced - so for that reason I didn't give an overall one-star rating as believe that when at their best, the service is likely better. Although not sure they could do better on the sandwiches unless they made them a bit larger with more meat and ingredients in them. If we hadn't had to get back to work and eat on the run, would have taken it back and requested a refund. Not sure that I will be back and certainly won't be singing their praises.

Hate to be negative, but I have to be honest. THE FOOD HERE IS NASTY.I had a sandwich with a raw egg on it. What was this cook thinking? I won't even call him a Chef (definitely does not deserve the title,) I think it was an attempt by a hipster to try and be Original. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Hands down best part about this sandwich place is the bread. It's thick, fresh, and chewy. So delightful. Soft and yummy great texture. I had the Grick Middle and my friend had the MacDaddy. Came an hour before closing and everything was made to order. Great idea for a rotating menu.The sandwich was great but service was spotty. The two young adults working there lacked professionalism. But that's alright! They were just closing so understandable.

Interesting concept- excellent use of a tight space. Fascinating, yet overpriced, artwork and graphics. Came in specifically for the vegan faux-naif, which was not spectacular but definitely edible. My partner loved the pulled pork and dill-slaw sandwich. Staff were quiet and not overly friendly, and there's only seeing for three, but it is a really great idea to keep improving on. Check their website as the menu is constantly rotating (which I love.)

Farrow restaurant offers a unique dining experience with constantly rotating menus. While some find the food overpriced and service lacking, others rave about the delicious and creative sandwiches. The small space is cozy and perfect for a quick stop or takeaway. The standout feature is the exceptional bread, though some feel the service could be more professional. Overall, Farrow is a mixed bag with a loyal following for its flavorful sandwiches and innovative menu that keeps customers coming back for more unique culinary creations.

I tried a donut, sandwich, and coffee at this restaurant. It was pretty average, nothing special. They offer one vegan sandwich option each month, but it lacks creativity. Surprisingly, the sandwich tastes the same every month. Update: I was informed by a former employee that the bread may not be vegan.

Every time I visit Edmonton, my first stop is to devour the vegan sandwich option at this restaurant. I am obsessed with it every time - it is so creative, offers a variety of flavors, and is incredibly delicious. I can't wait to go back!

I had the vegan sandwich for lunch today and it was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back!
