D dubs! So good! Been coming here ever since high school (esperanza). Their turkeyclub with bacon and avocado is my favorite as well as their Italian hot meatball sandwiches and garlic cheese bread. yummy... reminds me back when I was in high school every time! read more

Very saddened by the blatant disrespect by the owner and employees as they continue to operate sans COVID compliant practices. Have notified the board of health and they said they have already been contacted and are aware and taking this very seriously and that proper ramifications will be met. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!! Not only are the 5 girls working at the same time not wearing masks, But they are also unprofessional and very rude. They have attitudes and role their eyes. Why would I want to spend my hard working money on a place where I'm treated so badly. I will NEVER come back to this place! I've never been treated so poorly by little kids in my life. And they claim to not be wearing masks because they all have "underlying medical conditions" but in other reviews that's not the case. This place is a joke! Please stay away if you care about you and your family's safety. It's not worth getting sick over! And on top of it they are rude! They care more about their business than about their customers safety and satisfaction.that should tell you something right there. read more

Terrible service, ok sandwiches, and good root beer slushies. They need to cut the menu in half and double the staff to better serve their clients. They have cold and hot (microwaved ingredients including how they cook the bacon) subs, slushies, ice cream, and milkshakes. There is always the one frantic woman making sandwiches and a clueless teenager taking her sweet time to make milk shakes, scoop ice cream, take phone orders, and ring up customers. Today I called in my sandwich and iced tea to go, waited 20 minutes before pickup as requested, and waited another 15 minutes in line. The sandwich (turkey) was blah. I had asked for avocados and instead got day old guacamole paste. And the kid behind the counter unapologetically gave away the last of the iced tea to the regular in line in front of me after saying to him "I only have enough for one more and have a call in order for one already. But they're not here to claim it so here you go." I will not be back. read more

Wanting to find an alternative for Subway that I eat too often, I yelped my neighborhood and found this place, good ratings, had to try it. Don't get me wrong, Subway with $5 specials are always good..As much as I don't go for franchised stores. It's good deal!!Always! Anyway, went in on my day off for lunch. Greeted by two ladies working. She recommended turkey club sub, and I went for it. Also got a Bomber, because it looked good by fellow Yelpers' postings. The subs were huge,my parents shared with me 2 subs among 3 of us. The turkey Club was great, Mom said that she really liked it. Dad never says anything, but he finished everything gave him, to me that means he liked it also. Great, I found a another shop that I can go back again for good food. The 2 subs were enough for the 3 of us, in fact, I had left overs that I ate later. I found it tasted even better after I put the sub in toaster oven and kinda heat it up just a little! Yes, I can recommend this Mom and Pop store!! read more

A family run sandwich shop located on Orangethorpe & Kellog in a small shopping plaza with Stater's Brothers. The sandwich shop is located between the Thai place and liquor store. The sandwich (turkey club) was yummy, the service is friendly and watching the whole family in action (including the kids helping mom) put a big smile on my face. There is limited seating and you can call your order in ahead for pick up. Will definitely be going back to taste the other sandwiches. read more

I've lived in the area for years and I'm surprised to hear when other locals haven't heard about or been to DW's Subs. I love this gem of a sandwich shop. The food is consistently tasty, great quality, and the family that runs it is very friendly. I prefer eating at DW's compared to the other franchise sandwich shops because of the variety. You can't go wrong with what you order but the Bomber and Turkey Club are my favorites. I've used DW's for catering and everyone also comments on how delicious the sandwiches are. They also serve ice cream and slushies for those hot days that you just need a cold treat. Stop by and taste what you've been missing. read more

Was looking for a yummy place to have lunch and once again yelp comes to the rescue :) turns out this place was just down the street from where I work. The location is kinda plain and hidden would probably not have found it if I hadn't been looking for it. Inside: clean and had a friendly/fam/small business vibe.. They have a pretty large menu and only 6 basic ice cream flavors. I got a pizza sub (toasty and tasty!) and an Oreo cookie shake. Both were really good and the prices were awesome (= will def come back! read more

Turkey avocado bacon sub. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. My friend was incredibly insistent to take me here. He got me pretty excited and when we arrived, he told me I had to order the turkey sub. I protested. Heck no am I going to order a healthy sub when I was waiting all week for this moment. He wouldn't let me have it any other way. We found a middle ground and decided to order two different subs to get the best of both worlds. I ordered the pizza sub. He ordered the turkey. Pizza sub, not bad. Tasty and best of all, cheap. But, the underdog... the usually over-looked turkey sub was by far, the most magnificent turkey sub I have ever had. I tried to reason how it could be so tasty. Maybe it was because I was extremely hungry that day so anything tasted good. Maybe my friend had tried to tone down the beauty of this sub so I wouldn't be disappointed. Maybe it was the extra cheese that my friend ordered to be melted in the sub (you must order this with the melted cheese, trust me). No, it was magical in all the right ways. You know how sandwiches/subs get soggy over a couple of hours? If you leave it to sit in a fridge overnight, it's just a crime, right? This turkey bacon avocado melted cheese masterpiece was just as mouth-watering the next day, no joke. For all you avid sub/sandwich eaters out there, you know this means you've hit the jackpot. read more

I go here at least twice a week! My order is always the same 12' bomber ( I take 1/2 to my husband, he LOVES this place too!) w/ jalapeños and 1 large coke-fill it up with ice and a second cup of ice. Lets start with the sandwich! Fresh bread, always soft, never stale or crusty. Italian meats piled up high, with a touch of their homemade italian dressing (it's seriously the best I have ever tasted-not salty or watered-down) veggies, and cheese! I get mine toasted. You need to try the bomber when you visit this place! It's their top seller for a reason! OH, and don't forget to order a large drink! I'm a sucker for good ice, they use shaved ice for their drinks...ummmm, yes please. If I could purchase bags of their ice I would! I have also had their milkshakes and they're thick and creamy! They dont taste artificial like those drive-thru places. read more

I have lived in Placentia almost my entire life and have never eaten here. A while back, some members on The Placentia Buzz page recommended this place to another member. For the past few days I have been craving a good, authentic Italian Sub. Went today, and I was not disappointed!!! Talk about fresh ingredients and bread! I ended up buying the 12 inch Bomber Sub. Price is to good to pass up. $6.89 for a 7 inch, $7.99 for the 12 inch. The italian dressing on the sandwich had just the right amount of zing to it. I will definitely be back for more!!!! Hidden gem!!! read more

Another long-time patron since my high school days! I can't really describe the mystique of a D Dub sub. Sure, the ingredients aren't necessarily the highest quality. If you going during lunch, all the EHS seniors with lunch passes throng to here, increasing the wait time. But for some reason, the subs are so delicious you don't mind the wait! And they have ice cream! How can you argue with that? read more

DW's Subs - Italian sausage and cheese! - Sandwiches Near Me - Anaheim, California

I just finished lunch and had a roast beef club I just want to say that it was very fresh and wholesome and the atmosphere I sat inside was just peaceful caused me to catch my second wind before going out to work again. Thank you DW's read more

I dont like handing out 5's unless Im truly in love with a place....so this place gets a 4.999. Why? Its not open everyday or even all the time...cant get my Italian sub fix when it strikes on the weekends. Im being petty, but sorry that's how i feel. I had a hard time finding this place on Yelp and thought that i would actually get a chance to rate it first...than i copied its name from the yellow pages and here we are. Anyway, D W subs is truly a diamond in the rough. Holy crap do they know how to make a GOOD sub here. Its a small, unassuming place at the corner of orangethorpe and Kellog. Its old, in a stater bros. plaza where old people try to take you out with their cars..Theres barely anywhere to sit, just a counter where you order and a counter where you can watch a REAL sandwich artist at work. I worked at the business park on La Palma and Kellog and stumbled upon this when our secretary was making a lunch run. I also found out that my sister went here when she went to school at Esperanza High which is literally a little ways down the street. This is important to know because it's here mainly for the kids. Weekday Lunch draws long lines and likewise, it generally doesnt operate when the high school doesnt. They have a menu of sandwiches with short nicknames and a little description of what's in it, but I only get one thing here. And really, there's only one sandwich that you need to know about: THE BOMBER. Its thick and delicious slabs of cotto, genoa and sopressata salamis and other italian meats on a HUGE footlong loaf of Italian bread with provalone cheese, tomatoes, shredded lettuce and the best part of all, homemade Italian dressing. I say with pure conviction, its better than good. Its a fucking sexual experience. The construction is tight yet still has the characteristic dripping of Italian dressing. The meats are thick, not paper thin, and are bursting with flavor. The vegetables...who gives a shit about vegetables? but this is a great sandwich. Its all you need in one sandwich. Nothing left to be desired. Here's where I start throwin down: It is the Best Italian sub Ive ever had. Now, I havent eaten everywhere on the planet so if there is a better sandwich, let me know ...but as for me right at this very moment Im drooling because Im thinking about my sandwich. Yeah, they have other things like different flavored slushes and ice cream but you NEED to get a sandwich! there's nothing better...NOTHING. The cost is high school student cheap. You can eat very well for under or about $10...you can get sandwich, chips, drink and dessert for that. The people here are cool, too. I mean, yeah, typical high school kids but they're nice. The best person here is the older sandwich lady who makes subs from behind a counter for everyone to see. Thats the mark of quality...and she's SOOO NICE! I hate this overused cliche, but you can taste the love in there sandwiches. So now that you';ve witnessed me wax poetic about sandwiches from a small dive in a strip mall, go get a bomber, would you? They're consistantly great and knock your face off delicious. And like others have said, you're supporting local business! not the evil new starbucks of sandwich places, subway...Nothing more for me to say except GO NOW! YOU GO NOW!! read more

Great, quick sandwiches with welcoming service. So refreshing to be greeted At the door. Feels like you are family even if it is your first time. read more

Good food and FAST service. Only issue I have is the blonde chick who makes the sandwiches does not wear gloves when preparing your sandwich. Very gross to me read more

I've been eating at DW's since I was in high school and it was under different ownership but man nothing has changed. Come here mid afternoon on any day and you can expect to find a gang of young boys and girls eating sandwiches and drinking slushes. They have a nice selection on their menu (and some of the best ice around in their drinks!) Recommend the cheesy bread and one of the slushes. Can't go wrong there :) read more

We stopped in here yesterday, in response to a plea that this family-owned restaurant needed support during these challenging times. Arrived around noon to discover that neither of the visible employees were wearing masks, nor were any of the customers scrunched closely together in line. Though it smelled great, no sandwich (or anything else, for that matter) is worth the risk. Sorry, DW's; perhaps we'll try again when this crisis ends. read more

I have been going to DW's since I was in high school. Under its previous and new owner, I have to say the sandwiches are pretty amazing. The three star review is for my recent visit. When entering the facility I noticed the owner and supportive staff were not wearing masks. Despite personal beliefs, I feel it is a food service owner and operators responsibility and duty to make the health and safety of her consumers and staff a priority. Unfortunately, If I return to this establishment, it will not be until this pandemic is over. :( read more

The best subs around. The bread is so fluffy and delicious! Subs can be modified to your own preference. The owner is a local and so amazing! Come support small business! You won't regret having a sub from DW's! read more

We ordered three party subs for my son's birthday and they VANISHED. Everyone loved the sandwiches. Terry even lent me one of her bottles of Italian dressing to take home with me so the sandwiches didn't get soggy before the party. An economical and tasty way to party! Thanks!! read more

Oh D W Subs, the place to go! I've been coming here since my High School Days at Esperanza. There's something about the bread and Italian dressing that wins my heart. I introduced my fiance to this little hidden sandwich shop and he fell in love at first bite. We now come here as often as we can. I usually get the general turkey sandwich, but they have a wonderful pepperoni pizza bread and cheesey bread!! mmm!! and the Slushies= amazing! read more

I've been coming here my whole life and I never stopped for a reason. Great food, wonderful service, and acceptable prices all the time. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice sub. read more

This place used to be great! We have been coming to DWs for years. My mom would even come back in the day when she was in high school. The previous owner, Terri, held it down and never disappointed. Things have changed since the new owner has taken over. What changed? Well the meat to bread ratio for the sandwiches is absurd, you need to order extra meat every time. The blonde lady is pretty rude to the employees & customers- the kids working are very nice, but don't seem to have a clue what they are doing & they make it known to you. Nobody working wears a mask despite the state wide order to do so. They also don't prep food wearing gloves which is dirty & gross. I asked for additional sauce on the side which resulted in me not getting any sauce on my sandwich & having to pay extra for sauce. My family, friends, and I used to love this place but unfortunately it has gone way down hill Terri, we miss you! read more

First time trying the sandwiches here.. Omg the chicken club is great.. The bread is so good and soft... Will be trying other things on the menu Soon and it's close to work read more

DW's Subs - Chicken club- lettuce tomato avocado bacon chicken mayo - Sandwiches Near Me - Anaheim, California

First time picking up a sandwich and was surprised to see the workers with no masks or gloves prepping the sandwiches. Pre covid-19, gloves should be worn. Now in the midst of covid-19, gloves and a mask should be a must. Worker with worn off polish digging her hands into the lettuce was a bit disturbing. Hair was not tied back for any of the workers. Sandwich was a bit soggy. I would come again for a another try but only if the practice of handling food changes. Read alot of good reviews, but cant overlook the food prep. read more

The people making the sandwiches are not wearing masks and only one employee had on gloves - yuck! No thank you, walked right out.

D W's is the Esperanza sandwich supplier. For years, it's thrived on the high school appetites and proximity. It's a great spot for a really solid sandwich. First thing you notice when you walk in is the smell. It's just smells like a hole in wall authentic sandwich place. Terry is a great woman and can make a sandwich like few others. I like cold subs so I recommend the Italian sub. I have friends that love the BBQ so maybe that one too. I heard Terry is selling the place which is a bummer because I'm not sure I'll trust whoever the next person is to be making my sub. Hope the best for her! D W's is a winner! Keep the legacy alive! read more

Craving a sandwhich while waiting to pick up supplies in the area. Found this place nearby and the sandwhich was great!!! Super tasty!! I'll be back!!! Oh and the music was totally on point!!! read more

Reminds me of the mom n pop sandwich shops when I was young. Good variety, personal service every day, and a great local hole in the wall feel. Nice people, solid sandwich. I would like more meat, though read more

sorry wanted to support this local sandwich shop seems to be a loved local spot. But to be honest it was not good at all. Sandwiches tasted like something from a bad school cafeteria. Dont want to be mean but I was very disappointed based on all the reviews. My sandwich was drenched in the dressing & just had no flavor not even a good bun. Sorry. read more

Maybe they just don't like me or I catch them on an off time, but they are not very friendly! Not so unfriendly to not keep from there. lol She just always toss' my sandwich to the side. BUT they do have delicious subs and ice cream that oddly keeps me coming back. read more

Whenever I'm in the area for lunch, D-dubs is a no-brainer. The dressing on the turkey sub has been hitting the spot...every time...for the past 10+ years. A lot of piggy bank money was well spent here. Don't leave without getting a slushie! (cherry lime is a personal favorite) Quality + Affordable read more

Found this place on yelp and the reviews are correct. Great choice. I like local spots that have been around forever. Reminds me of home. Would come back again if in the area. read more

Too hot today and I needed something quick and healthier than I normally eat. I stopped in and bought a 12" veggie sub. Woow was that super tasty with the fresh Italian dressing. I'll definitely be back. read more

Love DW's Subs! Wouldn't change a thing about the food and customer service. My favorite is the turkey club and cherry coke. I don't live close but I try eating there once a week. Easily the best sandwich shop in OC! read more

have to be honest.. i'd give this place 4 stars, and 1 star for nostalgia.. subs are always good, just the bread is ok and generic (chewy, no flavor), definitely brings down the sub's taste, but otherwise, all the ingredients in the sub (esp the italian dressing addition) is tasty. it's especially good for the price. their 6 inch feels bigger than that and their large is definitely large.. =P my sister and i split a 6 inch and were satisfied! and the frozen slushies!! so delicious!! sour apple is definitely mouth puckering sour! they've now upgraded to boba straws hehe. this place is very old school with only 4 "booth-like" tables seating 4 to 6 people. most people take their sub to go. oh and i overheard their chicken salad is not like a usual chicken salad so if you want that, be sure to ask what makes it special (and the lady did make sure that the customers knew that when they ordered it). service is always good, fast, and friendly. the lady that served me 10 years ago still made me my sub that day =) definitely family owned treasure with lots of memory. i will be back =D read more

I'm happy to keep supporting this local family owned business during this difficult time! Great sandwiches for the price, and always served quickly and with a smile. read more

This place seems like the ultimate mom and pop sandwich shop that has been a staple in the area for years. I was in Anaheim visiting some friends and they know I love good food so they said you have to try this sandwich place. I forget what I got but what I do remember is the spread they put on the sandwich, yummy. BTW- the owner has been making my friends sandwich since she was in elementary and she is now 33 so the owner must be in her 80's. read more
