| - I never in 20 years or more (the time the Dagwoods chain has been open), thought I would be giving a low rating to one of my favourite freshly made sandwich shops.
PLEASE NOTE: This review does not indicate anything about their other locations or chain overall and I've been a 5 star fan since the beginning.
This location has been giving me, 'a not so good feeling' on several visits - the latest in particular. I went to pick up a large Dagwoods Club (which is sliced Turkey, Ham and Roast Beef), to share and a bag of Sun Chips (tasty as always). I noted right away that the Roast Beef looked different (even sickly) and that it never did look like that before. The meats in general where pretty weak and then the toppings, yikes, what a mess - literally - they ended up more on the counter than on the bread. I felt like I should let them go to waste so I asked for them in a container on the side. I could not believe that the counter person pushed them in with a used j-cloth type thing (I dumped them in the bin a few minutes later).
One more (OK, two more) thing and then I will end this review, as I am rarely this negative on a place. One is that the bread which is 'baked fresh in store', tasted half stale and half blast toasted - either way not nice.
Finally, and this may explain alot, this store is supposedly a franchise, yet I never see the owner there. The counter staff are alright, but don't seem to have any real guidance like other Dagwoods shops, where the staff are usually top. I don't want to 'rant' in any way shape or form, but something should be done to tweak this up.
PS I happened to see another review of this location written in 2012, that pretty much mirrors my sentiments.
PPS Darn, one last thing - the prices for the large I got was $8.99 before tax. Is there really that much inflation?
