    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!

    Great value, high quality, and their chips are satisfyingly crunchy! Some of the friendliest staff in the skyway, too.

    Probably one of the best parts of my Twin Cities trip. This place was so good that I ended up…read moreeating there two days in a row first thing in the morning. It's a humble-looking spot inside, but it doesn't lack in its food. Most is a self-service situation where you're choosing your table to sit at, grabbing your own water, and bussing your own table if you have the time. Casual spot with some interesting pizza. Boludo seems to be Argentinian-owned and family-run. I ordered the Porteño and asked for extra parmesan because of an Instagram reel I've seen with parmesan covering the crust. Due to a small misunderstanding, they ended up giving me something even better.... A fully parmesan-covered pizza. It was probably the best thing I've eaten that entire trip. Truly a great blend of salt, acid, fat, and heat. The second day I tried the Campo and tried to ask for the same cheese covering but ended up with the style I saw in the reel with the crust covered in cheese. It was still good, but not as good as my first order. They have a pretty solid Caesar salad as well! I would genuinely fly back to try this place again.

    Boludo is serving Argentina pizza which has sauce that is on the sweeter side. I like it a lot…read morebecause it stands up to the bold ingredients. I've been here a ton of times but always for take out. The restaurant is self service meaning you sit yourself and get your own water. It was really busy when we went but food came out in about 20 minutes for how packed the restaurant was. The empanadas are a must. I've tried most of them but the carne is my favorite. And the chimichurri is so good with a nice vinegar kick with fresh herbs The Campo pizza comes with chorizo, mushrooms, onions and mozzarella. The best part is the parmesan cheese they put on the crust. I would like the amount of cheese on the crust they show in pictures match what you get in person. Our pizza was really heavy on the mozz and not enough balance of the other ingredients. Also got the flan which has candied pecans and dolce de leche on top and the custard below. It tastes the best when you have a bite of everything but the jar they put it in makes it difficult. If you like flan it's a good dessert to try.

    After several visits over the last few years, here are my thoughts…read more -Lots of seating! If you're looking for a table indoors and the main area is packed, head to the back (towards bathrooms) where you'll find two rooms with additional seating which are usually quieter. - I tend to go for sandwiches, which include house made chips. Honestly, when I first went, I wasn't a fan of the chips, but it didn't take long for me to like them. Once while dining in, I found that most of them were just tiny bits. Well when the waiter came to ask how things were, I told/showed him... just as an FYI, not expecting anything. Well, he kindly brought me a bag to replace them. -The staff is mostly kind, with two male waiters/runners being especially nice and helpful. While myself or others are waiting they'll give friendly smiles, see if you need anything in the meantime. I like them! - Although I go mainly for the sandwiches, (my favorite being the Southwest Chicken Panini available in the Fall), I also like the mac and cheese and fries. I used to love the coconut cake, but something about the last one I bought tasted different. The filling and the cake texture... weren't as tasty as I remember. During my last visit I tried, the Reuben. Not for me, but they have lots of other things to try.
