Very mixed review. The blueberry muffin was so dry it was basically inedible. I was really, really hungry and still just threw it away after two bites. Zero stars. Skip the baked goods! The Kenai salmon sandwich was a bit dry and salty- it needed more cream cheese spread and a lot fewer capers. The house-smoked salmon was good, but nothing super special. Two stars, not worth the price. The pork sandwich we had was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Great balance of flavors (although I would have liked a bit more cheese). Five stars. All the sides we tried were also killer, great flavor combos with well executed ingredients! Four stars. Pickles were not to my taste (half-sours I think) but my dad loved them. Three stars. read more

I really liked the concept of this place, locally sourced ingredients, healthy sounding menu, but as far as the execution? It left all my expectations crushed. I am a huge proponent of the slow food movement, but this is far from that, this is more like they took quality locally sourced ingredients & butchered it, nothing spoke out, & all the quality was wasted. The in house roasted pork in the Cuban sandwich was dry & flavorless, the Roast Turkey was over done, dry and unseasoned, the prosciutto was barely there, the breads were all stale. The side dishes were flavorless. If I could honestly have a better sandwich at subway what's the point?? Who cares if it's locally sourced provisions if you dont know how to cook it anyhow. Usually when I see a restaurant named something like dish, spoon etc, I run, boy I regret not doing it this time. Menu tricked me, I hope this doesn't happen to you. read more

Cool spot with a huge variety of breakfast and lunch items. Then bread is excellent. Sidewalk seating. No decaf coffee.

Delicious. Absolutely delicious. I totally agree with a previous review that if you're looking for great pastrami like from Katz's Deli, GIVE UP. But if you're in the mood for a great range of sandwiches and sides. I've had several of their sandwiches and no disappointments. It's a bit pricey for me (I'm a cheapskate), but their sandwiches are big. Big as in I just had half for lunch and then the other half for dinner. True story. Well, I guess that justifies spending about $10 for a sandwich and side. read more

GLUTEN FREE SANDWICHES! GLUTEN FREE SANDWICHES! I believe they make the bread there, too... PLUS! I'm sad we found this place right before we moved... these are some serious, tasty, and creative sandwiches-- and you get chips and a crispy, tasty homemade pickle. The first time I went in there, I spent about 10 minutes staring at all of the options on the menu and really couldn't figure out which one I wanted to try out first. For the record, I went with the Gobbler, but later tried the Italian, and am now wishing I could have the East End or Whittier for lunch today. Also, the case in the front always has tasty looking options... but I couldn't resist the sandwiches. YUM! read more

Fish has a great selection of sandwiches. I love that they sell their breakfast sandwiches all day long. My favorite is the Which Came First - two eggs cooked to order with Muenster cheese and tender belly bacon on ciabatta. Consistent and delicious. read more

Food is good. Bread was kinda hard. Bathroom is clean and smells like weed (ayyyyy!). Very good vibes coming from this place and the people working here. Probably because of all the weed they smoked in the bathroom. read more

Great little place if you are looking for high quality sandwiches. The Gobbler was perfect. The Tuscan was just ok. Could have used more white bean spread. I just tasted bread and not much else. Upgrade your side to one of the killer salads! We got the potato salad. It also had zucchini and squash in it. One of the best I've ever had! read more

We ordered box lunches from here for a recent meeting. It is a nice little deal where you get izze sodas, chips, a pickle, cookies, and either a sandwich or salad. The sandwiches all looked good, the pickles were yummy but the chips were stale. My salmon ceasar was mediocre. I guess the salad was fine, but the dressing was so think I had trouble spreading it around. Also, I wish they had mentioned that it would be smoked salmon. I love cooked salmon on a salad but do not like smoked salmon so that was disappointing. I was quite happy that they gave me a gluten free cookie though! read more

I had the Reuben and it was SOOO good. There twist on the classic sandwich replaces rye bread and swiss with pumpernickel and emmental cheese. It was the perfect combination of savory, sweet and creamy. I'll definitely be back for more. This place is kinda small and was pretty busy when I came in (during the lunch rush). But my order came out in under 10 minutes, so I was pretty happy with the service. read more

Really good food. Exceptionally tasty sandwiches(!), nice selection of healthy ore-made options like beets and beans and pasta salads. Nice drink selection. Towards the end of Pearl street so you're not in the heart of the action, which is a plus more than a bane. My biggest gripe is the douchey server. I ordered food to go and when he gave me my receipt to sign he said, "Why don't you go total that up for me." I was going to tip you, Ace. You don't need to be a fukcing prick about it. Otherwise very nice. read more

Alright, A+ for food: high quality, thoughtfully prepared, interesting combos, tastes good, and all that. Plain and simple, the food is delicious and keeps you coming back because of the originality and taste. What doesn't keep me coming back is the portion size! Too big! What the heck?! If I leave a restaurant completely full and not even wanting to look at my plate because I received a too large portion, I might not want to go back. I received too much food because the woman taking my order didn't get it right, and brought me out two sides instead of one. That's my other beef - snarky, uppity service. It's an order up front and wait at your table kind of place, and you can see the employees behind the counter carry on person conversations, when they really should be paying attention to the floor, getting my order right, cleaning off tables, making sure the restroom was stocked (which it wasn't), emptying the bus bins, etc. None of which happened while we were there. Anyway, so the ambiance/service was sub-par. But if you're looking for a food purveyor that respects the source of its food (as local and organic as possible), creates ingenious food combinations that taste good, for a pretty good price, come here. It's really really tasty. read more

I come here for lunch every couple weeks. Great service, even when there's a long line at rush hour. Staff is very competent, polite, and efficient. The food is fantastic; I haven't ordered anything I didn't like, but I keep coming back to the Caprese Sandwich with homemade chips and pickle. Menu has lots of variety and some great vegetarian options. I really appreciate that all their packaging for to-go orders contains no plastic. Overall, a friendly spot for a quick, delicious lunch at competitive prices. read more

All my co-workers loved it, which is great. But vegan me? I ordered the Aubergine without cheese, but alas, the artichoke spread (which in my tired, travel-worn state, I neglected to ask about) has about two pounds of Parmesan (or similar cheese) per sandwich in it. Okay, not really, but I tend to feel like I've been terribly violated when I put something in my mouth only to discover it has animals involved. I ended up butchering the bread to remove the offending spread, maiming my sandwich, and living with it. Not happy, but damn, when you're tired and hungry (and already labeled as 'cranky vegan bitch') you don't want to make more stink sometimes. Or at least I didn't. Everyone else (the locals and those who had visited a few times) were still belting the gospel of Dish, so I decided to give it another go. The next day I had the portobello one (I think it's called the 'half-acre') altered accordingly. Wasn't anything to write home about, really soggy. At least the Izze was good, the chips too as long as you aren't afraid of a see-thru bag. read more

We used Dish twice for our wedding weekend. Dish catered our rehearsal brunch to a park in Longmont. They were really easy to work with, willing to communicate via email for extra ease, and gave great advice about what to order and how much. The food was incredible (frittata, quiche, pastries, potatoes) and guest were really happy. Dish also catered brownies for our reception. If you haven't tried their brownies...do! They have a slightly crispy outside and gooey inside. They are rich, real chocolate! They provided many different kinds (coconut, cherry, peanut better, m&m, etc) and even macaroons for our dairy free/gluten free guests. They did an incredible job for a reasonable price and I would use them again and again! read more

I had several friends recommend Dish, so I finally decided to drop by. I ordered the Scuba Steve sandwich & tomato soup and was very disappointed. The sandwich was soggy and the flavors did not work well together. The soup was worse than the grocery store kind. In addition, the staff was either newly hired or just unprofessional. On the other hand, it was a fairly laid-back atmosphere to study some psychology for a few minutes and enjoyed the snickerdoodle cookie. Would not recommend off of my 1st experience, but am willing to try again. Noosa anyone? read more

I had a tasty "Blat" on foccacia - a BLT with avocado that was crunchy and savory and came with chips and a pickle. I liked the vibe here too, locally sourced ingredients, some artisanal foodstuffs for sale at the entrance, and friendly workers. Would happily come back to try a different sandwich or something sweet. read more

As promised, I returned to Dish to sample some sandwiches off their gigantic, supposedly-awesome sandwich menu. Gigantic? Indeed. Awesome? I wouldn't say that. Creative, yes. Something-for-everyone, yes. Look at this menu and your eyes will glaze over. I managed to zero in on the Mahalo, which contained seared ahi tuna, cucumber, wasabi mayo, and some greens, all on a baguette. (Dan was like, "I knew you'd choose that one - it was obvious." Yes it was. Show me seared fish on a sandwich and it's over.) The fillings were good, if paltry. The bread, however, was sitting-out-all-day stale. It was tough to get my teeth halfway through. I ended up eating it open face but it was still like eating yummy spicy fish on reinforced cardboard. So I figured, maybe it's just the baguette. I was going to the pool a few days later and I needed a sandwich to bring, so I stopped at Dish again and ordered the Gobbler, a turkey-bacon-avocado-muenster monster on ciabatta that promised to fill me up. Fill me up it did. With another loaf of cold, stale, bread. Again, the fillings were all right, but nothing special. At $9+ per sandwich, I feel like I'd better be blown away, and better not be served stale bread. It should be coming out of the oven, pillowy and with steam rising invitingly from it, for that price. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Amazing cucumber salad. Homemade potato chips. Great ambience. Awesome array of prepared foods in the refrigerator. I got the Reuben and it's like no other Reuben I've ever eaten. Pricey, though. read more

This place was hit-or-miss. Met a friend for lunch and had a few minutes before he arrived to check out the menu. Everything sounded amazing. Figured I'd grab 2 extra sandwiches to go for that night's dinner. Ordered the ahi tuna sandwich, the smoked salmon and the one with Italian meats. Upgraded the sides on each one. Sandwiches were okay, nothing great. the sides were all good(orzo, pasta salad) Prices would have been justified if what I ordered tasted better. My friend agreed as did my husband that night. We were both surprised to see $1.25 cupcakes and each got one. Not good at all. My frosting was so icky, I took most of it off. read more

Meh. Overrated and overpriced. I've tried really hard to like this place but the few times I've been it's disappointing. As some other said, the bread was a bit hard and the flavors were just a bit bland. That's not all that bad but this places makes you feel like you're about to get blown away. Especially after you see you receipt... read more

Saw this charming little eatery as we were driving on Pearl Street; there was a free parking spot across the street so we decided to try it for a late lunch. So glad we did! All the sandwich and salad choices are described on signs above the counter--so many yummy options! I had the Gobbler, with homemade cooked turkey, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, bacon and pesto on ciabatta. It was soooo good but I could only eat half before getting full. My husband had the Caprese sandwich which is usually cold, but he asked for it hot--came out crispy and delicious on ciabatta. Boulder chips and a homemade pickle are included in the price. With a drink, it was $25, pretty reasonable for a good lunch! Will definitely be back to sample some of the other yummy sounding sammies! read more

The Ruben. Get. The. Ruben. I had guests in from the south. They were saying how they had the best slow cooked meats and stopped talking after taking a bite of The Ruben. The. Ruben. Also: their gluten free bread is absolutely fantastic. Fresh, local food cooked well by a staff that is treated well. My go to spot for lunch when I have some time to sit on their patio. read more

Last week, on an extremely hung over Friday morning (noon), I woke up and burped something that smelled like whiskey mixed with a 3-in-the-morning burrito. It was then and there that I decided to go on a detoxifying hike and get some food. After my hike I met up with some friends at Dish for a late lunch, and was completely blown away with Dish's lengthy/eclectic menu. Everything (including the stuff in the display case) looked so delicious that I had a really hard time picking a meal. After about 7 minutes of hard debate I finally chose the tarragon chicken salad sandwich with a side of white bean asparagus salad and artichoke heart quinoa. The chicken salad was a little dry for my taste, although a healthy portion of dijon mustard served as a nice remedy. The tarragon made a nice addition to the chicken salad, although I wish the flavor was a bit more pronounced. The real star in the dish was the delicious bacon, which completely stole the show. The sides were also very tasty, and did a fantastic job absorbing whatever booze still lingered in my poor stomach. The only item I didn't particularly enjoy was the pickle, which tasted more like a slightly spoiled cucumber than an actual pickle... Having grown up in Israel I think I know what good kosher pickles should taste like. Overall, I give Dish 3 stars for the food, but have to give them an extra star for the ambiance, creative menu, and fresh/local ingredients. I will most likely be back whenever I crave a tasty sandwich... I really want to try their BLAT! read more

I am a sucker for a cute sandwich shop with a chalkboard menu. There's something about reading the cleanly printed delicious sounding descriptions of 20 different sandwiches that starts me off on a drool fest. Adding to the visual appeal was the open kitchen viewing from the sidewalk. It speaks volume to freshness and cleanliness when places lay it all on on display. After all the eye candy this place was offering, I hoped it was not all too good to be true. And it was not! The sandwich was good! I ordered the Gobbler which is turkey, bacon, avo with a flavored mayo, lettuce, tomato, and a thin slice of munster cheese on their foccica. The turkey meat needed a little salt but the other ingredients were there to help the overall flavor. I upgraded my order with a serving of their green been salad. The girls taking orders and bringing out the sandwiches were bright and friendly. The simple decor and limited seating worked well for the place. I would definitely go to Dish Gourmet again - and next time it will be for their Italian or Cuban!! read more

Dish Gourmet is one of those restaurants that is well set up to survive the COVID craziness. They have great sandwiches, and friendly and efficient staff. Their on line ordering makes it easy to order exactly what you want - and they make it the way you order it, as well! Their food is always good. I am happy to support this local business. Make it easy on you and on them and order online. read more

I am a loyal and longtime patrons Dish! Yes, the sandwiches really are the best in town for adults who actually care about what they eat. But, have you had their sides? They're so worth the upgrade! read more

We had Dish Gourmet cater our small (but very important!) graduation party for our family recently, and the food was fantastic. We ordered the brisket with rolls (very nice quality) and coleslaw, and there was more than enough--not only did the 10 of us fill our plates that night, we were able to feed 6 of us again the next day! The food was hot and ready exactly on time. Rachel was great to work with, and everything went without a hitch. read more

I LOVE DISH!!! Before moving back to California, I used to go to Dish at least once a week- a little embarrassing but I didn't care! Unfortunately, I worked right down the street and was able to hop on over, even risking my life on extremely icy sidewalks through the winter! Anyways, onto the important stuff- Dish is amazing. The ingredients are wholesome, natural and healthy. So despite visiting so often, it was comforting to know I that what I was eating was healthy. I am a particular fan of their risotto cakes- just the right size and they taste amazing. Their garlic green beans are so good that I spent a considerable amount of time trying to exactly replicate the recipe at home (I now cook them at least once/week). Lastly, the COOKIES! Holy cow, I would die for those cookies! Especially the m&m ones. I would always bring some back to my coworkers- we were all huge fans! By far the best cookies in Boulder! My mouth waters just thinking of them and unfortunately now I live too far to be able to fill my fix! Lastly, the service is wonderful. The girl behind the counter (now I forget her name- I'm so bad with names!) was always so sweet and genuine I would visit so often she had come to know my name. The next time I'm in Boulder, Dish is the first stop I will make! read more

Ordered a bunch of various sandwiches for a lunch meeting. Everything was amazing!

Dish's sandwiches and soups are good. However, it is a pricey sandwich and not much bang for the buck. The seared ahi tuna sandwich has the equivalent of a pinky size (and color) of meat chopped into four pieces and buried in ciabatta with fresh, but bland sauce (sorry for that visual). Also, negative one star for having non-acidic pickles. Crisp, acidic pickles go with sandwiches, not fresh, non-aged cucumbers. There are two things that food snobs have no ground to stand on in my book: weak pickles and talking about beer like it is wine. read more

I always wanted to try this place, but wasn't really sure what it was. Cute exterior that looked inviting. I was having one of those indecisive drives around Boulder "dinner will find me, just keep looking." So when I passed it, I pulled over and did a quick yelp search on my phone. Sandwiches! Perfect. I think I was headed towards Snarfs in a last ditch effort, but glad I pulled in here. I think it's primarily a catering place, but they have quite the selection of fresh sandwiches. It took me a strong two minutes to decide what I would get. I finally went with the gobbler at the expense of the thanksgiving dinner sandwich. The gobbler is your standard turkey sandwich, if it was going to be standard. This wasn't. The turkey was fresh off the bones. How do I know? Instant nap when I finished eating it. The ciabatta bread was cut in front of me, and all the veggies piled on as though fresh from the garden. The sandwich was massive (thank goodness, for $10!). I couldn't finish it, and trust me I was hungies. I have to return to get at that Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwich (turkey, stuffing, and cranberry). I know it's going to be a winner. read more

Dish is a place you can't miss if you're in Boulder and it will quickly become your go-to place. You can't get more fresh and creative sandwiches anywhere around. The bread is fresh baked, the turkey roasted on site, etc.. The sandwiches are creative and were obviously designed by someone who knows what they are doing. One look at their cold case and you'll also be taking home dinner. Gotta also try their catering. Can't be beat if you're having an event.... read more

Best Italian Sandwich in Boulder. Period. I don't stray. At first, i was attracted to the pastrami, because i'm always looking for the "perfect pastrami sandwich", something comparable to Katz's Deli in Manhattan. But i've come to realize it doesn't exist. Katz's is one of a kind. But the Italian here... damn son. It's too good. Homemade mozzarella... ask for roasted red peppers as something special. Plus, they usually have some sort of bean dish on the side that you can order. Beans are high in fiber. Good for cholesterol. And they make the beans good. Word. read more

Love this little spot off Pearl... Perfect place to grab a sandwich or salad and enjoy their patio. It might take me a year but I fully intend to make my way through their entire sandwich menu.. There are so many amazing options! So far the Sole Sister is a fav, their house-smoked salmon is delicious. They serve their breakfast sandwiches all day which makes it pretty tough to ever try anything else. But I also love the dish salad with grilled chicken if you're looking for something a little lighter. read more

This place is seriously good. Super good quality ingredients. So many sandwiches to pick from but the one I can't stop ordering is the East End. Try it! Yeah read more

After awful (no) service at Cured, we walked over to Dish. A shop we've enjoyed for years. Service was ok, but timely given the crowd and our food was great. The "Chook" was a perfect sandwich for today. I look forward to trying it again soon. Biggest complaint about Dish is the tight space and limited outside seating. read more

Great food, bad service. I eat here 3-4 times/month and always enjoy their food. But lately they've been taking way too long to create our orders. Today, they gave me my food 10 minutes after my co-workers received theirs, even though I ordered my salad first. Then they made it seem like my fault for walking off with the order, which turned out to be someone else's. read more
