Sandwiches here are fantastic. Tried the penthouse, the spicy leo and the Kodak. All were really great. Highly recommend stopping in and get sandwiches here.

I just found out that the town of Evanston allows store owners to discriminate. According to the town there is no equal access under disability law. So it looks like the store D&D Finer foods can limit access to wheelchair bound people like me. The ADA’s manager for the town of Evanston and her supervisor have
now informed me there is no such thing as equal access under the law. The supervisor was
rude and talked more than she listened. So I will just have to live with the store treating me differently than able bodied people. D&D Finer Foods is way overpriced and the only reason I go there is because it’s the only convenience store in my area that’s close to me. Normally I order from Walmart and get my items delivered because it is so much cheaper than this place. I use an electric wheelchair and am disabled. This store discriminates against people with disabilities. Do not come here if you are handicapped and or disabled. The store owner/manager Kosta Douvikas masterfully gets around the law to be able to discriminate against the disabled. I even made a complaint with the ADA manager for the town of Evanston. The ADA manager is allowing the store owner to discriminate against the disabled by suggesting options that reinforce the discrimination. The store owner/manager told me to not shop on Thursdays because that is his stocking day. When I questioned him about not allowing me to shop on Thursdays he told me to come later in the day. So now he wants to dictate what day and time people with disabilities can shop. He then offers to shop for me instead of allowing me to do my own shopping. Under the law people with disabilities are allowed equal access but trying to enforce that is the problem. And especially when the towns ADA manager backs the owner up. My whole problem is people in wheelchairs are suppose to have the same access as able bodied people. It's extremely stressful trying to maneuver around boxes in the aisles with my electric wheelchair. The owner alleges I went down aisles that I didn't buy anything. So now I'm not allowed to look around like able bodied shoppers. But again who do you turn to when the town you live in not willing to enforce the law. And finding a civil rights attorney when you are low income is next to impossible. I am finding that Evanston is not a town that lives up to their claim of inclusion. Another excuse the owner claims is he is a small store and doesn't have the room to put the boxes. I don't think he realizes that even small stores have to allow equal access under the law. The police suggested I call them if when I go there things are blocking access for my wheelchair so they can see first hand what is taking place. And the same owner is claiming he has had several complaints about my attire. When I go their I am fully covered. But he decided to point out my attire by attacking my appearance. He never mentioned it until I gave him a negative review. So I guess in the end he is allowed to discriminate against the disabled because we are an easy vulnerable target that doesn't have the resources to enforce the laws against discrimination.

Perfect grocery store for college students who want good beer and exotic snacks. Definitely not an affordable option for most groceries, but their well curated beer, cider, and seltzer selection is a draw. Great employees as well.

Deli Sandwiches are Phenomenal. My bf and I tried our way through the menu and were extremely pleased. Penthouse is the best, Adonso and Classico also really good.

I used to board down to D&Ds after class for a quick panini lunch. Always hit the spot. Now, 7 years later, I can say that the D&Ds sandwich station has really elevated their game. Every aspect of their penthouse sandwich has improved - the chicken was tender and juicy, the bread was perfect, the sauces felt much more fresh, and the serving was huge. It’s rare to visit a nostalgic place and find it even better than before.

Live in the neighborhood and have been coming here for years. This review / rating relates solely to my experience during a visit today. I grabbed some beer from the cooler after collecting my sandwich and, upon picking up the six pack from the checkout counter after paying, the bottom of the cardboard carrier completely ripped apart, the bottles fell to the floor with one shattering while the another two landed on my feet and started venting carbonation from the dented bottle caps. I was in flip flops, didn’t feel super great!
The cashier called the manager to come up to the register to clean up the glass and spill on the floor and I asked "Ok if I grab a replacement for the six pack?" to which he responded curtly, "No." Confused, I attempted to clarify, assuming he didn’t understand what had occurred, “It's not actually my fault, the bottom completely fell out of the carrier. It's not like I dropped them." and he responded with "Well, it's not our fault either." I guess if it had fallen apart 20 seconds earlier when the cashier picked it up to scan it, it would have been their problem, but just unfortunate timing and luck on my part!
He then went on to say that he had stocked that very brand of beer earlier that morning and "They didn't look like that then, maybe a student was messing with them or something." So, the working theory is Northwestern students are coming in and sabotaging the cardboard beer carriers in the cooler for the lulz? Doesn't seem super likely to me, but okay! To be clear, I can afford to eat the $12 I paid for the six pack, but as a longstanding and loyal customer it seemed pretty odd to be blamed for not more closely inspecting the items they are offering for sale before deciding to purchase. Bizarre. Duly noted!

It’s a wonderful business with very helpful and polite staff! They offer a huge variety of drinks and food at great prices. You absolutely must try the sandwich they make, as well as the burger from the fast food section!

D&D is one the few great institutions in Evanston. There's a nice selection of cold cuts in the Deli section, huge selection of craft beer, fresh produce, ready to eat foods, and a variety of other groceries and home needs.
Pricing is very reasonable, and the staff is helpful and friendly.

We need more places like this in Evanston. I can get an egg sandwich for breakfast and pick up milk, eggs, bread, nuts, and other staples in one quick, uncrowded, nearby neighborhood store/restaurant. It's not ideal for everything and doesn't quite replace the need to visit a large grocer now and then but I love it for simple and reasonably priced items with minimal issues. It is Fast, Close, Chill, and stocks a surprising array of items, and you can get a simple and excellent egg sandwich. What else can a guy ask for on a Sunday morning.
