    a sandwich and chips
    Ashley S.

    I've seen dagwoods recommended on quite a few pages so I made my way in when i had a weekday downtown. It is good, but not outstanding. Friendly counter staff. Quick enough. I just expect a lot out of an Italian sandwich and I've had better. But it's worth a stop

    The Dagwood Special

    Have walked past the location but never went in, but I have door dashed this sandwich so many times, it is always hot and the chips are always delicious, service is always great and always sends extra napkins with! And I love the red checkered paper it makes the to go containers so bright and inviting :) I will always be back

    For those that don't know about Dagwood's, they should certainly check it out if they like hot sandwiches with bulk chips. It's a no-frills, reasonably priced quality lunch (and breakfast) option in the skyway that also serves Italian (pastas) and the service is good and pretty fast for the lunch crowd. I was first introduced to Dagwood's several years ago (not going to date myself) but it's tucked away in the skyway in the Crossings building near Washington Avenue. Not a bad walk during the summer time but at least on a cold day you can still get there without freezing. There are a number of toasted (hot) sandwich options including the Dagwood Special, which has pastrami, ham, and salami topped with cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, mayo and the special (Italian) dressing. The menu also has turkey, veggie, roast beef, tuna and ham and all sandwiches come with (bulk) potato chips or a side salad. For $6.99 (pretax), the price is right and it's worth the walk, plus you get to burn off half of the calories on your walk back to work. I haven't tried the pastas or hot Italian sandwiches - one day soon if I need to carb load. Dagwood's also serves inexpensive breakfast sammies - nothing special but again for about $3, it's hard to beat downtown.

    Just back in town for a day and had to run over to my favorite Mpls sandwich shop. Best in town and best kept secret in town. I think the location keeps the crowds away, but that is very much in your favor as a savvy sandwich hunter (here's a tip, if you don't want to navigate that crazy skyway system, just go to the food court second floor of the "Crossings" building on 2nd). I was just in Miami and tried as many of the famous cubanos and medianoches as I could find around Little Havana (in my unrestrained hedonism I took no notes and will leave no reviews - it was pure sandwich gestalt therapy), I want to put forward a theory that the Dagwood's Special is like Minneapolis' own Cuban...wait, wait, wait...hear me out...Ok? As with that legendary sandwich, bread and cheese are perfectly toasted and the meats receive just a little oven heat to activate all the yummy flavor components. No mustard or pickles, but the dressing is perfectly consistently slathered in good proportion throughout. Iceberg lettuce (shredded) and tomato are as Minnesota a combination as there exists under the sun, both lend a good crunch but also become a single glorious layer of goodness as they fuse with the tangy dressing and are held in by the bread. Meats are high quality and generous - maybe even a little too generous for your waistline. Ok Ok, not a perfect analogy, perhaps, but Minneapolis should be proud to have this simple but awesome hometown original as its welterweight champion to send into the ring. For best results, get the sandwich for here (eat in), so you can get it fresh and hot and enjoy the posthumous chips covered with drippings of dressing. One last thing to note - I've been eating here since the mid-2000s and this sandwich has also been steadily getting better and better over the last ten years as the owners have started making their bread in-house and expanding their menu - so take older reviews with a grain of salt.

    This place is in a really oddball part of the skyway. I've eaten here a few times, and I haven't been back much because the sandwiches are really tiny. They definitely don't do justice to their namesake sandwiches, which are like two feet tall. The real problem here is that the food is overpriced. I recently tried them again and the sandwich is tasty: toasted bun, nice amount of fixings, oil and mayo type deal. I'm not sure if there really is any secret sauce. I got the turkey dagwood and a medium soda and my total was $8.90. Really, Dagwood's? The chips they throw in there are of a standard variety and probably only cost them a few pennies per order. The sandwich was good, but it's too small to be very filling. If I'm going to blow $7+ on a sandwich, I want it to fill me up for real. I really want to like this place, but I'm afraid I will go on being offended by their prices. They also have the audacity to place a tip jar on the counter, which is another slap in the face. You could easily make these sandwiches at home if you were so inspired. The sammies here are good, but they nickel and dime you big time.

    The Dagwood Special.  Mmmm, fluffy toasty bread!

However, I realized that it was early November, and some of the usual players were done for the season. As I was about to admit defeat and grab something from Panera, I see Scratch Food Truck and I was saved :) They have a nice selection of sandwiches; I was heavily debating between the pork & shrimp patty, the sesame beef, and the fried chicken. The jalapeno slaw on the fried chicken sandwich won me over in the end, though. The fried chicken sandwich comes on a long bun, and is absolutely delicious. The slaw is spicy and tangy, and paired with the crisp fried chicken and mayonnaise, it makes for a very excellent sandwich. They make their own chips here, too, and you get a very generous portion with your sandwich. I'll definitely be coming back here.

Everything is made to order, but still a quick turnaround! The pork/shrimp sandwich came with (what I believe) a tasty mango-type slaw and 'mystery' sauce that really created a 'light' asian taste to it. Not heavy at all, regardless of the size of the sandwich! All of us enjoyed our lunch and plan on coming back for more!

At least she saw the chicken this time and could throw it away before taking a bite, but she did not get to eat her lunch either day. So in summary, order delivers a half hour early, everything cold before anyone could eat, same person almost killed twice because they put chicken on two items she ordered that should never have chicken on them, not able to contact store for the entire weekend, when someone did call me, just added more issues to the pile and promised the manager would call as soon as possible to address concerns and nobody ever called and when I called that number back they did not answer and did not respond to my e-mail. I think it would be almost impossible for anyone to top this customer service fiasco and total lack of responsibility and even acknowledging a phone call back. I guess they are lucky that person did not die, because then it would not be me trying to contact them and they probably could not just brush it off and ignore me.
