All comments on the food hold true from my previous 4 star review, but docking a star because the service just has not been great the last few times. It takes a while for anyone to come out to help you after you come in and then they seem unhappy to be having to take your order, and it still takes a while to get the food even when you get something easy like soup. I could forgive the wait if they were just friendlier. read more

Tasty sandwich shop with a large menu. I got The Vinny Pancini Sandwich. I do recommend it. Very good Italian-style sandwich. I paired it with Sun Chips. I wanted to get an unsweetened tea. The tea container was empty. So I got a Diet Pepsi. The inside is somewhat small. Music was playing...a tiny bit loud but you could still have a conversation. Staff were friendly. The establishment was clean. It's right across from the IU campus, so great location for students. read more

We had the Italian Sub, the meat was fresh and plentiful. Cream of potato soup was delicious as well. Service was quick.

We used to go here all the time. It was one of our favorite sandwich shops. This morning we order five sandwiches. They all were loaded with half the meat that they use to have on there. Very skimpy Looks like it is time to move on. Hopefully it is just the summer when the town is empty. read more

This is an Indiana University staple! Right near the sample gates in a perfect location for a quick lunch or sub to go. The Butch and Beaner is my go to sub and the service is always fast and friendly! read more

Sammiches. And lots of 'em!!!! Very interesting selection of sammiches, basically if you can come up with a combination of stuff to stick between bread slices they probably have it here. And if not they'll probably be able to make it up for you. They make the sammiches when you order and slice the meats then etc to it takes a little time for your sammiches to come out but it's totally worth the wait. It wasn't busy at all when we went in for dinner but I can imagine at lunch time on a Tuesday or something this place would get packed. read more

We almost didn't go here because of the yelp reviews, but we had a friend who swore it was the best sandwich, so we went. It did NOT disappoint. We got their special (because why would you get anything else) and it was STACKED. The bread was soft and flavorful and the toppings were plenty. It was a bit messy but worth every bite. The ambiance is a little dingy, and I wouldn't say it's got great vibes to sit in - but picking up a sandwich for lunch or ordering door dash - I would do it in a heartbeat. I'll be back for sure. read more

Dagwood's Deli - The Dagwood Supreme Sub - Delis Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Good is good and reasonably priced. I had a take out order and it came out rather quickly.

Not as good as they used to be. The sandwiches are less portioned and with fat on the meat in which I do not care for at all. Priced high enough and not worth the trip anymore. read more

Our first place to get a meal while visiting Bloomington was Dagwood's - my partner's request as he's an IU alum. We got metered parking right out front, went inside and ordered. We were the only customers in the restaurant at 6:30pm on the Wednesday evening of Spring Break week. We ordered sandwiches for 5 people and it took about 30 minutes to get them. Given the wait, we left and took a walk. By the time we got back everything was ready. My veggie on croissant was really good. Choice of 3 cheeses, any of the free veggies I wanted and Dagwood's Special Sauce. The sandwich itself was skimpy compared to something I could have gotten at Jimmy John's for the same price. Though you can't get much on a croissant. If you're looking for something OG to Bloomington, Dagwood's is it. If you're looking for something that will fill you up, maybe go elsewhere. Everyone in our group liked their sandwiches. We also purchased a 1/2 dozen of the chocolate chip cookies. They were good, too. The two employees working were friendly and hustling to get sandwiches made. Dagwood's has a huge menu. Overwhelming to someone who's never been there. You can order one of their specials, or build your own sandwich. Restaurant was clean, though I probably wouldn't dine-in. Recommend. read more

By far my favorite Bloomington restaurant to order/DoorDash from. Lots of great options to choose from and their menu is reasonably priced. Their Reuben doesn't disappoint, it's beyond worth it. read more

The sandwich selection was really good and maybe I just chose the wrong sandwich. Everything in theory sounded really good. I ordered the turkey dreamin'. When they say lighter turkey I literally had to look for a turkey. They also mention there's avocado, again I had to look for it. Too much white sauce on it I'm not sure what that was. It was ok but "lighter" amount of turkey I don't think the turkey should get lost in a sandwich that's called turkey dreamin'. Wayyy to much cream cheese. It was about half an inch thick sliced kind of gross. I tossed about 70%. My son ordered Vinny something. He also said it was good but the way it was described he thought they'd be more peppers. He felt like it was just a topping that was kind of thought of. We both liked it enough to maybe give them another shot but now we know to get something that they don't put together and we request what we want. read more

Sandwich was subpar for the price of the sandwich. It Is way above out-of-state prices. Just a mere cafetorium a line, but is there an alarm for all. I feel like I was back in elementary school with people throwing slop on a plate. If you try to request a menu item, they felt put off. Then when you get to the register, you realize you could've gone to a steakhouse for the prices they charge for a sandwich and it was astronomical. I mean I could've gone to Ruth and Chris, her prime rib for the price I paid for two sandwiches that we did not even eat. I'm read more

First, the sandwiches were delicious. It was ready in the time promised. But, the stand out was the fact that I couldn't find parking and the service was so exceptional, they ran it out to my car the kindest man with great food. Definitely will be back. read more

Dagwood Supreme. Extra Sauce. There is nothing better. The fact that this deli doesn't have over a 4 Star rating on Yelp is criminal. It must be from jealous Purdue students who have limited access to good eating on their campus. read more

I have been here quite a few times and it never disappoints!! I got the Dagwood on wheat it was delicious. My husband got a turkey sandwich on their amazing fresh, warm sub bread. I thought it was very nice! (just not as good as mine) Their drink cups are a cute little souvenir. Yes the place is old. Yes it looks a little dingy. There is a reason it has been around for so long...give it a try! read more

We had lunch here today. Sandwiches are delicious and there are tons of options. We all got something different and everyone was happy. Quick service and friendly staff. read more

We got takeout sandwiches from here. $10 for a sandwich seemed like a lot, with nothing extra at all, not even a pickle. But on the plus side for you carnivores out here, the sandwich did seem to have a LOT of meat on it. Also - gotta support the Locals! read more

The young lady at the cash register was knowledgeable and helped us order as low-carb as we could get for being on a keto diet. The meal was perfect and bottled water available was awesome too. It took a while to get, but worth the wait! read more

Dagwood's Deli - Delis Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Excellent Reuben sandwich with authentic pastrami and excellent marble rye! As good as any NY deli!

I loved this place for being unique and different. Sandwich was good - ultimate turkey. Combo gets you chips, pickle, and nifty wide-mouth take-home cup. Staff helpful when we placed large order - seven of us on one ticket. The prep time was not very fast but we weren't in a hurry. I would stop here again, it's right next to IU on Indiana Avenue. Parking is an issue - some street parking if you're lucky or the congested metered lot one block to the west. read more

Dagwood's Deli - Ultimate turkey. Almost as good as that take home cup. - Delis Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

The food is phenomenal! I have never had a bad meal or had anything bad on the menu! Always amazing service! You can tell the owner puts time and effort into serving everyone! The deli is chill and you def feel the college town vibes. It's a great place to hangout in between classes or grab a sandwich on your way home from classes (right near all the bus stops too)! read more

Dagwood's Deli - The ultimate Turkey sandwich with potato salad and a pickle combo - Delis Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

My girlfriend and I decided to have a picnic in the middle of a global pandemic. I'm a bit particular about sandwiches -- for the most part, the same quality can be found in your refrigerator. She suggested this place and I thought, "Why not?" It's a cute little place that's a staple on the IU Bloomington campus. I ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich. They didn't use breaded chicken which I liked; it was real, tender, and had great flavor. The sauce was zesty and not too overwhelming. They used just the right amount of cheese. The sandwich itself was not messy and just the right amount of ingredients. My only suggestion is to warm the bread. Still, it was flavorful and filling. We both got chips and novelty cups as part of our meal, as well as a dill pickle on the side. It was a tasty meal and I'll happily return! read more

Stopped in here after a quick stroll through campus. I hadn't had a Dagwoods sandwich in nearly 15 years and decided to give it a shot. The food was great, some solid upgrades in bread since the early days of my college career. That sauce is to die for and I'll love it forever. I have to say though: the service was total shit. There were only 2 people in the restaurant at the time and it took at least 15 minutes for us to get sandwiches. None of their chips were stocked so I couldn't see what they had, the workers were distracted with joking around. I get it's a college town, but they really needed to pull it together. read more

There's a reason that this place has been around forever! I remember when they used to have video game tabletops. I dream about their Spicy Sauce. A little pricier than Subway but way better. This was a staple of my undergrad life. Support local! Wish they had more than 1 location. read more

The only problem with Dagwood's is that their menu on the wall behind the counter does not have accurate prices! Buyer beware! I asked the fellow working the register, and he said the owner doesn't like to change the prices on the big board. That's just ridiculous. If the sandwich says it costs $6, I shouldn't be charged $7.25. HEY, OWNER, FIX THIS! read more

We were craving sandwiches and a parking spot was open on Indiana right in front of Dagwood's, so in we went. I had a Hoosier Hoagie and my partner had the turkey club with avocado. We were both very happy with the food, it was tasty and fresh. I would not have minded a bit more meat on my sandwich (other people's photos on Yelp show sandwiches with way more meat...) but it was still delicious. We were probably lucky it is Spring break because I am sure this place gets crowded and it took us awhile to figure out what we wanted. Look forward to going again and having a better idea of how to navigate the menu. read more

Dagwood's Deli - Hoosier Hoagie. Maybe a bit thin on the meat? (or am I tripping?) - Delis Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Solid spot for some good grub at affordable prices. The place isn't fancy, but I suppose that doesn't matter, as it mostly caters to the college crowd at IU. I had a half sandwich and soup for $5.99 (turkey and roast beef on a French sub roll and wicked Thai chicken soup), and it was the perfect amount for a tasty lunch. The guy behind the counter was really nice, and everything tasted really fresh. I came over Thanksgiving weekend, so the place was pretty empty because most of the students had gone home for the holidays. Dunno how busy it can get when school is in session. read more

Explosive diarrhea within an hour of eating my slimy sandwich. This place is gross but has been around forever and has so much potential. Cleanliness would be a great start. read more

I used to eat here so often I got a job working here just for the discount. Excellent fresh baked bread and high quality ingredients make this a sandwich shop to remember. And that Dagwood special sauce, it's been years since I've had it but just thinking about it is making me drool. read more

Been going here since my days as a student in the late 90s. Always good food and good friendly service. Sandwiches are piled high with tons of meat, cheese and toppings. Can't go wrong with the Dagwood Supreme. read more

The worst deli I've ever eaten at, bar none. The prices are exorbitant: I figured $16 would get me a sandwich that'd leave leftovers, but this was a bog standard 6-8" sub roll. But I should probably count my blessings. I got a roast beef sandwich, and the meat tasted like three or four day old leftovers. It even had that gross refrigerator aftertaste. I don't understand why this place is rated so highly; I'd rather eat at Subway. read more

Great deli sandwiches, idk what they do to the Turkey but best Turkey sandwiches in Bloomington. I wish they had better parking though.

Wanted to try a local sandwich spot, and landed here. Definitely a must try! We've gone 3 days in a row. I don't get much outside of turkey, but it's amazing every time. My husband has gotten the brisket special 3 days in a row if that tells you anything Amount of meat on the gourmet sandwiches is HEFTY, so keep that in mind if you like lighter sandwiches. The cookies are thick and soft. I couldn't eat the entire thing in one sitting. Absolutely love this place. read more

When you taste the sandwiches at Dagwood's you will be perplexed as to why this place isn't located deep in the Amazon forest. You will figure that only a treacherous journey through dense jungles facing venomous reptiles, ferocious leopards, teeming piranha and the occasional bad cab driver will earn you passage to sandwich perfection. Only the most dedicated of sandwich aficionados deserve to have access to this place. Mere mortals need not attempt! At the very least, it should be located in Manhattan. Lower Manhattan. Have an owner named Giuseppe and a tabby cat with one eye sleeping on the ledge to the left as you enter. But nope. It's in Indiana. The state of Indiana. And I think the owner is Stan. If it's your first time there, DO NOT get the Italian. You won't be able to handle it. Start with something a little more for beginners, like the Carnegie or the California Dreamin'. You're welcome. read more

One of my favorite sandwich spots. Not quite what it use to be but overall still better than the rest. Quality ingredients. The inside needs some freshening up for customers and any place that is a staple of a college town should sell merch if you ask me. read more
