Krista’s at Widgi Creek
Krista’s at Widgi Creek serves up the best Club Sandwich that I’ve had to date in Bend, Oregon. The latest trip out to Krista’s for this club sandwich was my second visit. I don’t know what happened to the photos after the first time we went and then I forgot about writing the review. So some friends and I made the drive out to Widgi Creek specifically for the club of all clubs.
The club served at Krista’s is on three slices of buttered toast with smoked chicken, ham, American and Gruyère (Groo-Yair (yeah like that helps pronounce it any easier)) cheese, red onion, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, mayo, and of course bacon.
If it didn’t cost me $8 in gas to make it out there to Widgi Creek, this club sandwich for $9.25 would be an amazing deal. Both times the sandwich and fries were awesome. After chowing on this sandwich, watching the Senior Women’s Golf Club run the waitresses ragged, and drinking a pint, I was ready for a nap. I don’t have a clever name for it like the Mexicoma but I was tired.
This is a true club and one well worth filling up the gas tank and making the trip up Century Drive….unlike this one.

Tony’s Delicatessen
Tony’s Delicatessen located by Safeway, Starbucks, and Taco Del Mar on the west side serves up Italian deli meats, sandwiches, and salads. There are also pre-made take home items like Calzones or Lasagna that you can warm up back at the house. The owner’s name is not Tony. From what I’ve heard, no one involved is named Tony. But it is a good name for an Italian deli. I mean, is there a more Italian/American name than Tony? When I think of Tony, I immediately think of Tony Micelli from Who’s the Boss. Sadly, no Alyssa Milano behind the counter, even though she could probably use the work.
I selected “The Adamonator”
Pepperoni, Capicola, Mortadella and Mozzarella topped with a balsamic vinaigrette. The flavors were good and the meat quality was great. For $9.25 it was a decent sandwich. There was a disproportionate amount of stuffing to bread. Before my first bite I ripped off a good chunk of bread so I could get to the meat. After inspecting the other half of the sandwich I made an executive decision and transported the meat from one half to the other and ditched the remaining bread.
A friend of mine decided to go with the meatball sub. She said she liked it but her meatballs are better.
Overall the staff was really friendly and helpful. The food was pretty good but overkill on the bread. I looked around and only one person at our table didn’t have at least 3″ of bread that they tore off or had left over when finished. She was the only person that ordered an Americano style sandwich so she didn’t have the same sub style bread that we did.
I do want to go back for one of those Calzones but I doubt I’d get the Adamonater again. Maybe I’d try a different sandwich but we’ll see.
