About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Idaho Falls, The Sandwich Tree stands as a beloved sandwich shop that has captured the city's affection with its simple yet scrumptious offerings. This local gem expertly crafts each sandwich to deliver satisfying flavors that feel both familiar and thoughtfully elevated. From the moment you step inside at 500 W 17th St, you're welcomed by a warm and casual atmosphere that invites you to take a moment either for a quick bite or to linger over a comforting meal.

The Sandwich Tree’s menu is a delightful journey through classic and specialty sandwiches, each made with care and fresh ingredients. The Angel’s Special is an exceptional standout—a robust combination of roast beef, pastrami, bacon, Swiss cheese, and a balancing blend of mayonnaise, mustard sauce, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch that creates a symphony of hearty, savory flavors. If your taste buds crave a tropical twist, the 6" Hawaiian Delight, featuring ham, Swiss cheese, pineapple, and creamy mayonnaise, offers a sweet-savory balance that is nothing short of addictive. For a smoky indulgence, the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich with your choice of cheese delivers that tender, melty experience that feels like a warm hug on a plate.

Those seeking lighter fare can enjoy fresh, made-to-order salads that transform any sandwich into a colorful, crisp, and zesty experience. Loaded with turkey, ham, shredded cheddar, olives, sprouts, and a choice of dressings like Thousand Island or Blue Cheese, these salads showcase the shop’s flexibility in catering to varied preferences. The daily rotating specials keep the menu exciting, making each visit a chance to discover a new favorite.

Dessert lovers won’t be disappointed either. The Thursday Brownies, especially the brownie topped with marshmallow and icing, offer a sweet, gooey finish to your meal, complementing the savory notes of your sandwich perfectly.

    We love this place. It has earned its reputation and one of the iconic restaurants in Idaho falls. Their sandwiches are simple but consistently great and what we believe is a fair price. We haven’t tried every soup they have but the ones we have so far are excellent. They can get busy and kind of slow but I think they handle it fairly well. Overall this place is great if you like sandwiches

    This place is fire!! I heard it was one of the best sandwiches in the city and it did not disappoint! I just got a simple ham, cheese, and salami and it was delicious! The bread is super soft and fluffy and it all just worked together. The staff is super friendly and recommended I try the “angel” next time. I will definitely be back and I’d recommend this place to anyone that wants a freaking good sandwich

    One of my regular lunch spots, I've never had a bad experience. One of the best sandwich shops in town. With a rotating daily lunch special, there's always a great deal and variety available.

    I was in town for work and thought I’d give this place a try. Upon walking in I was greeted, asked if I had any questions and love how they took my order. The place was clean and busy, which is always a good sign. I felt my sandwich (#6) with a drink and chips was priced right. The sandwich was delicious! The bread was fresh and fluffy, not too dense. The produce was fresh and the meat was fresh, tasty and not over salted. I will be back!

    My wife and I had lunch here. It was my third time. I ordered pastrami and provolone with special sauce, sprouts and lettuce. What I got was sprouts lettuce and what appeared to be canned pastrami. I love the place this event will not keep from returning. I will just triple check before I accept my food next time.
