About
On my way to the Mile High Marina in McCall, I stopped in at Stax to get a couple of sandwiches to go. This small establishment offers dine-in, take-out, and outdoor seating options at their picnic tables, and it was truly a delightful experience.
Although Stax has been serving McCall for quite some time, they relocated to a new, larger location a couple of years ago.
As a first-time visitor since their move, I was pleasantly surprised by the updated and modern design of the new space. Its prime downtown location made it an easy and convenient stop for a quick bite to eat. I can definitely see myself returning to this new location.
One aspect that sets Stax apart from other eateries is their commitment to fresh, house-made bread.
This includes their mouthwatering sourdough, which boasts a tender and chewy texture with just the right amount of tang. The staff informed me that they bake their bread daily, a practice I wholeheartedly admire and one that helps Stax stand out among other establishments.
The ordering process at Stax was efficient and accommodating, as I was able to select my desired sandwiches and customize them to fit my preferences. In no time at all, my order was ready, and I was on my way to the marina. As a bonus, the price was even more affordable than I had anticipated.
If you're planning on visiting McCall, I highly recommend stopping by Stax for a delicious, satisfying meal crafted with care. Two thumbs up for this fantastic sandwich shop!

Stax: Menu & Drink
With an impressive variety of both cold and grilled sandwiches, Stax had something to satisfy anyone's taste buds.
One mouthwatering option that I couldn't resist was Brillo’s Reuben, a towering grilled sandwich packed with delectable slow-cooked pastrami.
This masterpiece was layered with a generous scoop of sauerkraut that wasn't too wet, saving the sandwich from becoming a soggy mess. Add in some Swiss cheese and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing, and the combination was out of this world. To top it off, the hoagie roll was grilled to a perfect crisp, making this sandwich an absolute must-try.
The second sandwich I picked up was the cold Fat Tinny—a colossal creation not for the faint-hearted.
Featuring a scrumptious blend of turkey, ham, roast beef, and pastrami, this sandwich was an irresistibly filling choice. It was topped with your preferred cheese choice and a mix of mayo and mustard, making it an instant favorite. Fair warning—I couldn't finish it in one sitting!
Each meal at Stax also comes with a small bag of chips on the side, and you can grab a refreshing drink to accompany your sandwich.
Overall, Stax offers a delightful dining experience for visitors in McCall, with its friendly atmosphere and diverse menu. It will be sure to have you coming back for more.
