Nestled between 13th and 14th on S street, Dad’s Sandwiches offers unique combinations for meat lovers and veggie eaters a like, all while maintaining decent prices and healthy options.This is a no reservation needed, strictly breakfast and lunch joint where the most expensive meal, complete with chips and a drink, tops out around 10 dollars. Though if you’re on a tight schedule you might want to call your order in for pick-up, since patrons line up daily for their fix.
From the moment you walk in the door customers are greeted with rock-n tunes, the aroma of sizzling bacon, toasted bread and friendly faces. Though the Dad’s crew, at first glance, may look like a bunch of tattooed hooligans once you approach the counter you’ll experience nothing but smiles and superb customer service, complete with helpful suggestions and pleasant conversation.
The options may seem overwhelming when you first set eyes on the giant menu mounted next to the register, showcasing cold and toasted sandwiches, salads and breakfast till 11AM, it seems nearly impossible for someone to not find a desirable choice.
After ordering your sandwich it generally takes between 5 and15 minutes to receive your food, on the longer side if you order a hot sandwich since they take longer to make.
The shops “Hot Blonde” is an amazing mixture of chicken, avocado, Swiss cheese, tomato, red onion, spinach, cucumber, garlic aioli, brown mustard and pepper plant sauce all melted together and toasted on fresh sourdough bread.
The pepper plant sauce gives the sandwich a distinct spice that does not over power its fellow ingredients but accents the over all taste and experience you wont find anywhere else.
In addition to its normal menu, daily specials are conjured by the creative staff and range from a cheese steak sandwich to vegan specials that are run on Saturdays.
The meat, cheese and vegetables are cut fresh daily and the quality of the sandwich is proof of the shops passion for serving excellent options along with friendly service.
If you have never been blessed by the sandwich gods or had the opportunity to cram one of these amazing creations down you throat, your missing out.
Drop what your doing and get to dads before they close at 4PM, never settle for wonder bread and shrink-wrapped turkey when you can treat yourself to the sandwich you really desire or with seemingly endless options and distinct individual flavors, try something new that is bound to shock and amaze your taste buds.
Very good beginning to this collumn - pulled me right in. And by the time I was halfway through, I was mentally writing down the name (and location) for some future lunchtime foray.
ReplyDeleteThe choice was also a good one.
