5 Great Sandwich Places in and Around Rochester, MN

Canadian Honker

Our friends from the north are well-known for ice hockey and maple syrup, but they also make a mean sandwich! Their famous fried fish sandwich known as the Canadian Walleye sandwich is made with fresh fish imported directly from lake Winnipeg. It’s dipped in homemade beer batter and then deep-fried – albeit slightly – to perfection. Add your favorite toppings and a side of their crispy onion rings and you’ll have the perfect meal, eh?

ZZest Lunch Counter at First Ave. Food Court

Now before you start screaming blasphemy, we must admit that we too did not expect to find a glorious menu item at a food court. Buy ZZest Lunch Counter defied the odds, serving up one of the juiciest and most tender prime rib sandwiches we’ve ever bitten into. When it comes to sandwiches, details matter. And ZZest makes sure their cuts are not heavy in fat, but rather lean, well-seasoned, and slow-cooked to perfection.  

Chester’s Kitchen & Bar

Chester’s serves up several delicious sandwiches and dishes but the one they’re best known for is their Rotisserie Chicken sandwich. Be forewarned, this delicious dish is only available on the lunch menu and it sells out fast! So get there early to enjoy a mouthful. Their chicken is locally sourced and meticulously hand-rubbed with select spices, before being placed on the rotisserie. If you like a little spice in your life, the chipotle sauce and cayenne pepper will add the perfect touch.

Five West Kitchen & Bar

Prep your taste buds for some absolute magic between two slices of bread. Five West Kitchen & Bar raises the bar with their Blackened Chicken & Avocado Melt sandwich. The breast is tenderized and seasoned with cajun spices before being seared and blackened. The rest of the components are then added and enclosed between two slices of sourdough bread. The result? A taste explosion that will have you coming back for more. At Five West Kitchen & Bar, you’re guaranteed a great atmosphere and great food.
