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.
No dice. My husband went at lunchtime today to pick up a sandwich--12 minutes [with 3 workers and no other customers!] and $6.50 later he emerged with the ultimate turkey sandwich-- which was really a loosing proposition. The sandwich is pretty small, with the smallest slice of avocado and cream cheese imaginable. The sandwich was sloppy with nothing spread out but rather dumped on it. The onions I asked for were  a pretty spartan affair. You could see and taste loose tomato seeds on the lettuce--even though they were asked not to include tomatoes.  The turkey itself was old and slightly funky.
Sandwiches don't have to be big and heaving with ingredients but they should be tasty, with quality ingredients, and carefully put together. Respect your clientele or you won't have any. What a waste of a prime location.
FWIW, this is not an easy review to write. We really like to support small places, mom and pop shops, etc.
Following in the footsteps of Pizza Express, Dagwood's brought their Bloomington tradition to Indy, and it was good. If you get bored with Jimmy John's or just hate their commercials and you don't care if subway has $5 footlongs anymore, because all their sandwiches taste the same anyway, you should hit up Dagwood's because it's the stuff. Their sandwiches are huge and come on bread that I think is better than the bomb bread at Jimmy's. The flavors are good and they use top quality meats and cheeses which is all you can really ask for in a sub shop. They have a huge menu and you can make any sandwich you want. They have a good Rueben and a decent Italian sub, but they really do the minimalist stuff best. Just turkey with some cheese and dagwood sauce and I'm happy, throw some fresh veggies on their and enjoy the fact that they use fresh antibiotic free poultry. I don't know what else to say, this place kills the competition and I can't recommend it enough, and it's just a block from both subway and JJ in Broad Ripple, their hours aren't that great, especially when it comes to late night, but next time you're in the Ripp and need a quick bite take a few extra steps and hit up Dagwood's instead. You can thank via private message on Yelp!
Review Source:This Bloomington, IN-born sandwich shop is definitely one of the better subs around and will have anyone with any taste in food leaving the chain sandwich shops and heading over to the corner of Guilford and Westfield for Dagwood's.
Thousands of Indiana University grads can recount stories of sitting in the basement location in Bloomington, dining on their great subs. Now, those who are familiar with the 'Dagwood's Sauce' and other signature features can enjoy them in Indy, as well.
One of the best things about Dagwood's, aside from being a local establishment, is the quality of their meats. I'm a turkey sub person, myself, and you can taste a big difference in their non-processed turkey, which blends well with the fresh veggies they pile on their giant sandwiches. If you need to satisfy the sweet tooth, they serve up warm cookies out of the oven every so often, so hope that you're lucky to catch em while they're warm!
Metered parking is available along both Guilford and Westfield. Great as a carry out item to take on the Monon Trail or you can sit inside and people watch.
Being an IU grad, Dagwood's was one of the staples of dorm life that you never quite outgrow. Â It was a real treat to have Dagwood's re-open in Broadripple so we don't have to drive an hour south to get a fix. Â Now, if Aver's Pizza would open here, we'd all be set.
I would recommend the cheese sandwich with the cheeses melted. Â Try cheddar, provolone and Havarti! Â Make sure to try the special sauce no matter what kind of sandwich that you get. Â
Free Wi-Fi is a big plus too.
