Some of the deli’s specialty items include the corned beef and turkey sandwiches with names inspired by the "Dagwood" comic strip and the community, such as "Mr. B." (Hot corned beef, Swiss cheese, cole slaw and Russian dressing on marble rye) or "Grand River" (half pound of roast beef, colby cheese, cole slaw and Russian dressing on marble rye).

The best part about the deli, according to Burger, is its flexible menu, which offers made-to-order items.

“If you feel like a sub, you’re going to get a good sub,” he said.

Dagwood’s also offers catering for parties of 10 or more, as well as delivery. Specials are available all the time and they include soup and half a sandwich for $7.50, or if you buy a sandwich, you get a cup of soup for $3.00 instead of $3.75.

Located at 33179 Grand River Avenue, the deli offers dine in and takeout service in a family-friendly atmosphere, where people know each other and stop by for a quick bite and a quick hello.

“I like downtown Farmington,” Burger said. “It has a very family friendly appeal to it; a lot of our customers live nearby and can just walk to the deli.”
