We were walking in Banff downtown looking for food and found this place. Ideally we are baked potato lovers and never thought can get something of this taste in Banff. Potato was huge and nicely baked with sour cream, beans, bell pepper topped with cheese n green onion. It's called Mountain chilli and was perfect. They do sell sandwiches and poutine but than baked potato was enough for me. Nice place with simple, clean ambience.
Stopped in for a quick soup and sandwich, and couldn't be happier with how the quick meal turned out. We had the Rueben and triple decker, both were fantastic. Definitely a place to stop in if your looking for a quick soup and sandwich!!
Excellent but pricey. I had the triple decker and it was delicious! But to pay $14 for a sandwhich a little side of chips and coleslaw and a pickle is crazy. If it wasn't so expensive I could have ate this sandwich everyday! Definitely worth a try tho.
Deliciously Slow and Expensive. I ordered the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and my lady friend ordered the veggie pockets, but they were out of pockets so she had it on a baguette.
For simple sandwiches they took longer than you would have expected, though they were moderately busy. The Montreal smoked meat sandwich was tasty and moist while the veggie pocket (sans pocket) was "meh". The sides were lacking (chips and coleslaw) in quantity.
Also, the pickle was good.
Was great. Ruben sandwich was decent. Kids had a grilled cheese - pretty good - and triple decker - very good. Soup was chicken rice - tasted canned but was hot and fine. Coleslaw needed a bit of flavour. Atmosphere was fine, clean and friendly.
Best Sandwich I've Ever Had!. My husband and I each ordered a different Sandwich they were both absolutely delicious! His was a toasted triple decker with Chicken, Bacon, Avacado and delicious sauce! Mine was turkey breast, lettuce and tomato on a toasted baguette. Both had a generous amount of flavorful, fresh, quality ingredients. By far the best sandwiches we have ever had!
Great Sandwich. Had the Reuben and it was great. The prices are too high ? Maybe but the food quality is also very high.
Great sandwich but too expensive.. My sandwich was great (salmon) and I have no complaints about the food - the salmon was fresh, as was the bread. The coleslaw and pickle were a nice touch. Having said that, I felt the sandwich was about $3-4 more than it should have been. I know this is Banff, but I'm not sure I'd be in a rush to go back and pay the same again. Also, I informed staff that the soap was out in the bathroom when I first arrived, 30 mins later it still hadn't been filled.
So good. Ive never liked avocado or tomato and now I can't have a sandwich without them. The triple decker is by far the best, however at 13.75 a sandwich, I don't know if I'd go there often.
For 2 sandwiches (no drinks) your spending the better half of 50.00
That's a little to much for a couple sandwiches. Maybe at 8-10$ a sandwich I'd go much more. But always remember the bitter taste of poor quality is remembered long after low price is forgotten.
Hidden Gem!. This place is awesome! The sandwiches are tasty, good sized, but not over the top. When you don't want another huge artery clogging burger for lunch on your road trip this is a brilliant place to visit. One Reuben and a good old fashioned milkshake and your trip to Banff will be complete!
Super nice staff, awesome shakes, good sammiches. One Montréal smoked meat and one reuben, as I recall, and both super tasty. The shakes were delectable - they use Foothills Creamery ice cream (I really should've taken a pic of the flavours menu... sorry). Took a bit of time to get their attention to order, but when we did, they were prompt and very friendly (...and offered to reheat our sandwiches after we took care to feed the wee one... I was fine, but the gesture was nice :)
Excellent food, very friendly service and well worth the money.
This is the best sandwich shop I have ever found. There is a great variety - something for everything. And the pricing is really good for what you get. I would come to Banff just for one of their sandwiches.
I was shocked when I read one persons review saying the sandwiches were small - this is not true unless you are typically a 'big eater'. I would guess the majority of people will be quite full after eating here.

We go to banff as much as we can. This is 100% the best sandwich place we have ever had! If you like avacodo try the triple decker!!! Thee best!sp full of flavour !
Great little hole in the wall.. Girlfriend and I were in Banff for a couple days and wanted to grab something light on the way out of town the last day. Figured, why not squish? After all, the name sounded like the girlfriend's shoe in the rain, made me laugh and think "it must be good". It was! I had the wasabi tuna sandwich and it was quite tasty and very fresh. If you want a nice quality sandwich without the pretentious Banff spin of uptight waiters and managers above speaking to customers, pop into Squish.
Perfect post-hike meal. This was the best meal we had on our week-long trip from BC to Banff. The amount of food for the price is just right, the service is excellent, and the food is outstanding. The reuben could make a grown man weep. Then again, we did just finish a 13km hike, but hunger notwithstanding this place was superb! Highly recommended.
Real authentic Montreal smoked meat sandwiches in the heart of Banff. Who could resist that!
This was an amazing sandwich shop. There were 7 of us and each person enjoyed their meal. 1sandwich could easily be shared because they were very generous servings & toppings. The ingredients were very fresh & tasty. The atmosphere was friendly & fun. The prices were very fair especially given the quality!! The Montreal & Reuben sandwiches were WOW.
Best sandwiches. Squish makes the best sandwiches. My favorite is the rueben but also love the triple decker and montreal smoked meat sandwiches too. We're from Calgary but often make it out to Banff. We always make sure that we stop by and eat there. Sometimes visit Banff just to eat there!! It has a great atmosphere, wonderful music playing in the backround. The owner, Greg is always pleased to see us. He's very welcoming and helpful. It's nice to see someone so enthusiastic about what he is doing. As long as squish is around you'll be sure to see us visiting Banff, squish and Greg! Keep up the great work!
Went today!. Went today to Squish for the first time. Very friendly owner greeted us at the door and welcomed us. I don't eat meat so went with the Veggie sandwich. It was very tasty with all the nuts, fruit and veggies. Didn't really enjoy the plain pita wrap though. Would have preferred a nice bread or something. But glad I tried it.
Love it!. If you're in Banff and love a good sandwich, you have to go. The staff is fantastic and the look and feel of the place is interesting. They don't have a large menu, but nor do they need one. What they do, they do well.
I'd highly recommened the smoke salmon bagel (though I personally pass on the tomato, just not a fan of those wo together). The turkey swiss baguette is stellar; simple but delicious. It's all about the bread here too... the textures were perfectly crunchy outsides with soft and slightly chewy insides. I wanted to try the smoked meat sandwich but there just wasn't time enough to fit in another meal.
If they were closer I'd be in more often. When I'm back through Banff, I'm bringing in some friends.
Lovely food!. Love freshly made sandwiches, with high quality product. to top it all off they add pickles & chips with your meal.
The deli sandwiches were fresh and delicious. We also had the milkshake... Good to the last slurp!
Franchise in Edmonton. The Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich and the Reuben "Squish" Style lead to the only conclusion. "Squish Sandwich Cellar" needs to be franchised in Edmonton.
Loved This Place. We thoroughly enjoyed Squish Sandwich Cellar. The service was awesome and our sandwiches were excellent!
Next time we're out in Banff - We'll definitely stop in again!!
It was awesome and the people are so nice the food was freat I had the triple decker sandwich yummy!!!

Very friendly. Check it out!. We went to Squish for lunch on a cold day out. We were a bit turned off by the apparently high prices (13 bucks for my Reuben, 10 for my wife's veggie sub, 5 for the soup that we shared), but it turned out to be a pretty solid value for what we paid. My Reuben was stacked so high with very nice quality meat that I could barely fit my (extremely large) mouth around it . Best Reuben I've had in a long time. My wife's veggie sub was a bit hard for her to eat, as it was loaded with veggies and cheese such that it was a little slippery; it was a while before we got it structured so that she could eat it. It was very good though; unlike many vegetarian sandwiches, it was far from plain, with some really flavourful, memorable combinations: good quality cheese and pickled artichokes were her favourite contributions I think. Our sandwiches came with a nice slaw and a little thing of potato chips, which were a nice touch but there was so much food that we couldn't finish all the little garnishes. Our soup (chicken creole) was necessary given the cold outside, but not as good as the sandwiches.
The owner was there making our sandwiches, and seemed like a really nice guy. We could tell it was a newer restaurant as he was very interested in hearing how we felt about them.
We had a really good, filling lunch. I'd recommend Squish :)

You walk by the menu numerous times as you walk the shops of Banff Ave. You think yeah a sandwich would be good, and then you just keep walking. So you've been doing it all wrong. You need to walk down the stairs and have a chat with Squish. Sit down and have an awesome sandwich. The menu is good, and has a verity that should fit for everyone. I had the Montreal Smoked Meat on Rye. The pickle in the sandwich was great and serving of meat wasn't as big as I've had in other Deli's but it was generous and excellent. I didn't notice the mustard being overly spicy and I think that could be better but I would still rank it in the top 5 of MSM sandwiches I've had. My wife had the Turkey and Swiss Wrap. She was very impressed with it. Enjoyed it immensely.
Since I was hungover and wanted some good grease I ordered the Poutine. This could have been the best poutine I've ever had. The fries had a great crisp to them and with it being baked the cheese curd was that much more melted. The gravy was very very good too. Just a great dish. I do believe they are licensed as well, so you do have drink options.
So take that step down the stairs and get your self a great sandwich.
Love stopping in here for a warm sandwich! I recommend the Montreal smoked meat or the chicken club. Super delicious, amazing ingredients—you’ll be full when you’re done!
Friendly staff, timely service and delicious food.
It's a place you should consider eating at, especially if you love sandwiches.
My cousin and I enjoyed eating here during our stay in Banff.
4.5/5
My wife and I wanted something quick but not fast food so we stumbled upon this little place and we were very satisfied. We got the chicken club and Montreal smoked meat and was tasty. I would recommend this place.
Awesome sandwiches and the soup was delish! Service was fantastic and I love that they have games and great music! Prices are awesome too,especially in comparison to other restaurants around.
If this place was in Montreal, it would give Shwartz a run for their money. GREAT sandwishes! Huge flavor! Everything fresh and the atmosphere is perfect. Thanks guys
Amazing Sandwich!! I had Tuna Sandwich and Smoked meat sandwich, both are really tasty. Definitely come back again.
