Jasus was told years ago they had closed up shop, think a visit may be in order. Used to run out a few minutes early for lunch when in Bolton St to get a roll from there otherwise you would be queing for ages.

Is Declan still nearly the same size of the shop? And calculate in his head how much you owe him?

Im addicted to the place the pasta/salad/potato cubes trays are gorgeous and huge like the man himself!

Had the pulled pork in 147 today. Excellent if a little small and about €1 overpriced. Cafe is really nice, to be honest it's out of place where it is; Parnell St is so gritty compared to it.

Had the pittsburgh (pulled pork and fries) sandwich in ugly duckling today. It was fine, not really gonna go outta my way to eat there again

Declan is still a large large man, and although the till is there he never seems to actually use it. Still the best breakfest roll i've ever had.

Had the Brisket in the Ugly Duckling today. The meat was tender, the onion was crispy, the gravy complimented the meat and overall it was pretty tasty. Was waiting ages for it but the guy (I assume the manager) sorted it quickly when I approached him. I will try it again.

I hate how sandwiches have become all gourmet nonsense.

Well the gravy is coating the meat. It's not poured over the sambo.

Nope. Open-faced sand wedge.

Hootanany

Knife & fork job then its not really a sambo then is it, like a kebab not rolled up.

I love it!
Don't get me wrong, I still love regular sambos (loved Boland's off Sth Anne St when I worked near there) but it's nice to have new options, and some of them are really, really good.

Up until the last few years, the Irish conception of a sandwich has been beyond disgusting. A slice of nasty, over processed "hang" and too much butter w/ mayo on chemically baked "batch" is not good food.

Just wanted to reignite this great thread, and recommend a great sandwich..

Limetree cafe in kilmainham across from the tourist Gaol serves a great cajun chicken sambo and an even better turkey club sandwich. Both served with a gorgeous fresh side salad and a great coffee/latte for €7.
Good value, fresh, tasty, bright airy shop and affable staff (free copies of the irish times available for reading too, which is a bonus)..

Highly recommended.

Woa woa woa...... Declan's on Bolton Street is back doing breakfast rolls? When did this happen? I used to go in there when I worked in Parnell Street but I think it was closed for quite some time and alas I don't work on Parnell Street anymore- in fact I moved across the river. That said I'd make a point of popping in there for a roll. They were the best I ever had and he was an absolute gentleman.

I went into KC Peaches on Dame st today to try their toasted club sandwich. Regrettably they lost my order and I had to leave for work before they could sort it. Pity.

All these feckers going to the Green Bench Cafe now means I can't get in the door anymore at lunchtime. Happy that their ridiculously good sandwiches are being recognised but it's too much of an ordeal now queuing up.

They really should open another one in Grand Canal Dock area.

Not sure how long hes back but I noticed a few months back and I have to say his rolls are the freshest tastiest going, and for 3euro for a huge
roll and tea /cappucino/can he will have my business as long as hes open, the line does be out the door at times but its worth it, think il pay a visit tomorow *drools*

A Top 60 is a little extensive, and there are some ordinary sandwiches in that list.

Slunk

Probably best to just name an establishment as there's places on that list two and three times.

PauloConn

And some that aren't on the list that should be.
Very uncomprehensive

Cienciano

The Holy Cow and Itsa Reuben from Itsa Bagel need to be there. I know it's popular on boards, but The Pig and Heifer is terrible imho, 3 sandwiches from there, all shíte. Can't see the appeal.

Pang

Ugly Duckling wins hands down for me.

The brisket is absolutely amazing. The meat is so tender and delicious.

I love the Brisket from the Ugly Duckling. I see Bison Bar do a Brisket Roll too and it's higher up the list so now I have to try that. Has anybody tried it?

Robbo

Nothing from 147 Deli on the list? Also, it appears Peak Pulled Pork has arrived.

Hootanany

The Rueben in 147 is delish minus the pickle cant believe its not on that list.

fussyonion

I don't get the hype surrounding Simon's café in George's Arcade.
I was in there a few times and the place is just musty with rude staff and the most thrown-together sloppy boring sandwich I ever had.
The chairs are uncomfortable and it just reminds me of a hostel or something.
Bleurgh.

I've been calling it for months. Once Centra added it to their standard deli offering it jumped the shark.

I had a Club Sandwich in the Brew Dock at BusAras on Friday. Once of the tastiest sandwiches I’ve had in years. It tasted like it was freshly cooked, there were chips inside the sandwich and a fried egg on top. So good I’m going back on Friday.

The only sandwich I've ever had from there the bread was so dry and stale I was choking on it. Not been tempted to go back for round 2.

Favourite Dublin sandwich at the moment is the Cheese steak from 147. It's sandwich-human mixed marriage material.
