The Bean Bag

Exercising high standards and the great restraint needed to not eat their own products, the family owners of The Bean Bag have been pleasing the palates of area eaters for the past two decades. The savory menu features mainly New York–style deli sandwiches ranging from the basic to the behemoth. Super sandwiches ($5.99 to $7.99) come filled with your choice of protein (roast beef, baked ham, tuna, turkey, veggies, and more) served atop bread selections like rye, wheat Kaiser, or a bagel. More-advanced creations (dubbed "colossal combinations," $6.99 to $10.99) include the hummos and tabouli sandwich (with cucumber, sprouts, and tomatoes) and the New Yorker (corned beef, pastrami, Swiss, and coleslaw on rye). Visit relatively greener pastures with a tasty salad ($4.99 to $8.49) or spoon-sip a variety of soups (four to six daily) or homemade chili.
