I got the chicken and waffles, which had orange-jalapeño syrup and ginger-maple butter. The chicken was so crispy and moist, and the waffles weren't too heavy. Their cold brew was also really good. My boyfriend got the fish tacos, and some sort of cherry soda. I can't remember exactly, but it was good. The tacos were yummy! The fish was crispy, the sauce was great... it was slightly too fishy tasting for me, but I'm picky abt that sort of thing. He liked them tho. 10/10, I have already recommended to others.

I had no idea who was supposed to be our server until someone apologized for 'being inattentive'. So I guess it was the bartender? 2. I was served cold prime rib. After I sent it back someone came to me to ask me to 'just let them fix this one' by reheating. I'm aware that isn't going to go well, but I was so surprised at the audacity I felt obligated. It was fine, but definitely nothing to want ever again. Overall it was an incredibly disappointing experience.

I recently visited for dinner - I"m single and always request a two-top so I don't take away from the server turning-over tables. My most recent visit I had the pleasure of being served by Rachael. Not only was the food and drink just what I expected, but the service, friendly personality, beaming smile and her presence was great. She was running all night at 100mph, but took the time to make me feel like her only customer. Whomever hired her needs to find another dozen! Service like this is why I am, and will be a repeat customer. Food is priced fairly, drinks are substantial, the servers are very knowledgeable about wine parings and present the drinks as the professionals they are.

From the time we arrived to the time we left it was a great experience. Fast service, great tasting food and eve better it was not overly pricey for the fresh quality and the amount of food.

The menu is made up of great burgers and sandwiches - perfect spot for a quick lunch. I ordered the cheeseburger, it was perfectly cooked, juicy, good flavor. The fries weren't seasoned, and underneath the juicy burger left them a bit mushy and moist but overall the meal was great and I'd come back to try the Olive Burger our server recommended. We also tried the Patty Melt - it was good, but the burger was better!

Big time, baby!! In those 58 years, the exterior has not changed except for a patio on the back side. The men's room is really small; much like Texaz Grill in Phoenix!! No door on the toilet stall to this day. Seating area has same setup; booths and tables appear to have been replaced over those years. Dagwood's offers 10 or more draft beers today. The classic MIchelob is absent. I had ham and bean soup, cheeseburger and fries. The soup is homemade and just what I wanted. Burgers are all smash-style; cooked to order and still juicy. To me, the fries are the hit; hand-cut fresh potatoes fried to order and great! Saturday afternoon was a little spotty but they got the job done. Dagwood's is a classic college dive bar with good food cooked behind the bar for all customers to see.

The beers were delicious -- my husband loved the hazy and I loved the Red Ale. We will definitely be back and look forward to trying the burgers and craft cocktails!

It's only because it was just not as amazing as the first. Still very good they serve everything in a mass serving so on a steak night the problem is your steak is meant to be served lukewarm essentially. They still seasoned everything perfectly. Cook it perfectly and that's how the fish prepared that would've been my only complaint posting pictures of what was on the menu that night and it was great. Highly recommend for special occasions for a date night.
