While we were at Oakwood Espresso, the barista told us we had to try DAM Sandwiches — and wow, we’re so glad we listened! It was less than a two-minute walk, and totally worth the detour. My son and I shared half of a brisket sandwich and half of a fried cheese sandwich. Both were incredibly unique, packed with flavour, and had a fun twist: hickory sticks inside! The textures and smoky crunch took them to a whole new level. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and while the venue is small (just one table inside and a spot to eat on the sidewalk), it totally adds to the charm. This is a must-visit if you’re in the area — the sandwiches were simply amazing. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

The Dakgalbi Spicy Chicken is really good! Really good. I opted to buy the full sandwich and added cheese so paid a good amount more, lol. It was worth it! I included the corn bread and schweppes Ginger Ale 355ml. The spices in the chicken is a great hit. The bread was the perfect selection for the sandwich it gave it the perfect texture to maintain the sandwich and make all the bites worth it. I really can't wait to order again. I have driven past this place a few times at Rogers and Oakwood near the lights in Toronto wanting to go in but, it would have heavy traffic for me so I had to just look it up and get more information. I have been curious about what their menu is because every now and then I just want a sandwich. The ratings speaks for themselves as it's earned. For street parking it's hard to get on this street but there is Green P across the street but, it isn't a big lot. I ordered by Uber Eats Delivery. I hope you take some time to attend and try one of their sandwiches. Worth it! Included pictures

Awesome Little Sandwich shop. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try. I had the Cubano and the Brisket Sandwich here. I played with the sweet dog (Mr. Pickles)while we waited and our food was ready very quickly and was very fresh. The Brisket Sandwich was great, it was very saucy, gooey, cheesy, spiced and really flavourful. The bread it really nice and soft and chewy. The only thing I was missing from here was a bit of a crunch, there were little shoestring potatoes but the sauce made them less crunchy. I think adding some extra potato crisps would take it even higher. The Cubano was our favourite. It had a great amount of cheese, the pork and ham were flavourful. There’s a good amount of mustard and pickle flavour coming forward, it just had a very nice balance. Again the bread is soft chewy and delicious. Maybe could’ve had the bread toasted longer to add a better crunch. Overall, highly recommend.

The sandwiches are good, but that corn bread slaps!! I could eat 50 of those things and I didn’t even like corn bread before. Ok, back to the sandwiches, ended up trying their chicken sandwich and let me tell you.. amazing. Who ever decided to put that sandwich together is a superstar. Also picked up the kimchi cucumbers because why not, those were good as well. If you’re looking to sit in, they only have one high top table looking cozy in the corner. Other than that, I’m going to back to try another sandwich and get more corn bread!! Hopeful that pickles is there again, what a cutie patootie he was just sitting outside by the door. Definitely a highlight of my day!! Oh yeah, service was a 10/10 too!

We've said it and we'll say it again, EVERYTIME you go to a place that looks like Dam; you're about to have incredible food. This not to knock them down but it's a fact and the owners are very friendly. Small establishment but a lot of love in their food. They have one table and two chairs to dine in, otherwise it's only for take out. Their sandwiches are incredible, one of the best in the city, we ordered both brisket and fried cheese. The brisket was juicy, tender, and melts in your mouth. The fried cheese is a good veggie option and make sure you add hot sauce, it has a good kick to it. The bread they used was soft and easy to chew. We will definitely come back.

I tried the brisket sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, juicy. It had just the right amount of seasoning, and the sauce added a perfect tangy touch without overpowering the brisket. Overall, a satisfying and flavorful bite — I’d definitely order it again!

The best hot sandwich I've had this year! If you live in Toronto you owe it to yourself to grab a sandwich. This is the perfect messy, meaty, delicious lunch/dinner. When we finished the Cubano and the Spicy chicken (get cheese on this), our immediate reaction was to go back and buy another. 100% would come back
