There are sandwiches and then there are Flancer's sandwiches. You would never guess it from the casual, understated décor, but they do not call their food “gourmet grub” for nothing. They start with their own bread, of which they have several kinds, including multigrain and gluten-free. Then, they stuff it with interesting mixes such as chicken with marinated prickly pear.

Their Club Sandwich has turkey, ham, bacon, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green chili, mayo, and avocado. Besides sandwiches, you can also get burgers, salads and pizzas, which include more interesting gourmet options such as roasted wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, home-made sausages, fresh basil, and balsamic glaze.

You won’t find any boring pizzas at Flancer’s. They have a small selection of beers and wine, but you might want to try their spiked prickly pear lemonade, with prickly pear juice and vodka.
