Dagwood's Deli and Sub Shop

This little place in Broad Ripple wasn't much to look at on the outside. The food was okay. There is a giant selection, and the staff was polite. However, it has the feel of a run-down college deli.

I LOVE sandwiches. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

There's nothing on earth I like better than a good sandwich. Maybe it's all those years of hot school lunches of weird corn dogs and burritos that made me appreciate the simplicity and sheer genius of a sandwich.

Anyway, I digress.

I stopped into Dagwoods the other day when I went into BR Village. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of available sandwiches. I elected to have the Reuben. Man I love me a good Reuben - and it was good!

I think Dagwoods has usurped Jimmy Johns with my favorite sandwich.

The prices are a little steep, but well worth it. Half a sandwich for me is plenty. Of course, my husband had a whole sandwich, chips and a side of macaroni and cheese =)

We will be back!!! Fer Shure.

Heinz 57. Popcorn. Pot Roast. And, the Hoosier Hoagie at Dagwood's. All these foods have in common a deeper feeling when I taste them, because I've been eating them for so long, my taste buds & memories are deeply intertwined.

I never attended IU, but I spent many days of College in Bloomington, and Dagwood's special sauce ran through my veins back then, and the classic sandwich hasn't changed.

Although every time I've been to Dagwood's there isn't a line...they're maintaining their business through the valued, local respect.

Friendly, attentive staff.

They now DELIVER to not allow Jimmy John's stand alone in sandwich schlepping.

The whole rather than the half seems like the best value, the leftover-ability of most of the sandies is strong, especially the Hoosier Hoagie & Reuben (they don't toast/grill their Reuben...it's awkward).

I feel like sandwich shops drop the ball on not serving beer. They'd surprise themselves, as mainly a lunch spot, how many folks would order a beer with their sandwich if they're given even a small amount of choices.
