Dagwoods is a fast food restaurant chain that operates exclusively in the Greater Montreal Area, in Quebec, Canada. It was founded by Spiro Krallis in 1989, and by 2004, he owned and operated thirteen Dagwoods locations in the city. The effort involved in operating all these locations led Krallis to franchise future establishments.

The chain serves fresh sandwiches and slice the meat and cheese right in front of the customer. Their policy is also that all bread is baked fresh daily. It started in 1989, at one location on St. John's Blvd. in Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, and now has since expanded to more than 16 in greater Montreal, including one at John Abbott College, and another at Champlain Regional College on Montreal's South Shore.

It specializes in serving lunch and dinner meals, and do not have a breakfast menu. You can get a "Trio" if you purchase your sandwich with any two of the previously mentioned products, where 50 cents is deducted from the total price of the meal.

As of 2005, all of Dagwoods' franchises offer toasted sandwiches along with their traditional sandwiches.

Dagwoods is also known for its Dagwoods Sauce.

Historically, Dagwoods' main competitor has been Subway, but in recent years, Quiznos Sub has entered the Quebec sandwich market, and McDonald's has also adopted a sandwich menu.

Dagwoods is now generally mutually exclusive with the similar Blimpie chain, which entered Ontario in 2006, although there is no formal agreement between the two.
