“ Visited without any expectations, not really knowing what was about to go down. I love deli sandwiches but this is a "bread less" option!!!! I chose the "Big Dill" it was enormous! It had everything imaginable on the sandwich. I can't even remember....LoL!!! The service was perfect no complaints there..... the building /Lobby/ waiting area is extremely small. That doesn't take from the experience tho....pricing was fair and comparable to a normal deli option. Please check it out. It's worth the time and effort. ”

“ The healthiest sandwich you'll ever have!!!! I love deviled eggs and the egg sandwiches are the best. My favorite is the blt. My son got the hammer little pickle sandwiches and loved every bite. They are the nicest and most welcoming people. They always have something for you to sample and they move as fast as they can. The food is always packaged neatly and tastes great. They give you a glove with the big sandwiches but you can always request more. ”

“ I found What's The Dill while searching for sandwiches near me. Thanks, Yelpers for leading me there! I bookmarked it weeks ago, and was finally able to stop by after work today. The small carryout shop is located in the beautiful U of D Mercy neighborhood on McNichols across the street from the college. What's The Dill offers a variety of deli sandwiches served on huge dill pickles. You can choose from an already curated sandwich or build your own. I opted for a sandwich with corned beef, turkey and cheese. It was light, fresh, and delightful. Kudos to the owner for her creativity! There are also other items to nosh on such as deviled eggs, which are 2 for a dollar and quite tasty, bags of potato chips, jarred and packaged pickles, desserts, and cucumber wraps. There are several drinks to choose from including Kool-aid. Be sure to ask for a shot of pickle juice, which is free to experience while you wait for your order. Cards are accepted. The shop sits on a corner, you can park on the side street or in the back parking lot. Don't forget to grab a punch card. When filled, you earn a free sandwich. ”
