What it is

Blondie's is a small deli window in Toon Lagoon serving sandwiches made to order, and its centerpiece is The Dagwood - a comically over-stacked deli sandwich named after Dagwood Bumstead, the character from the Blondie comic strip who gave the sandwich its name in the first place. It is one of the few pieces of Toon Lagoon theming that actually lands with a modern audience.

The rest of the menu is standard deli work: turkey, ham, roast beef, a vegetarian option, chips and pickles. It is made properly rather than assembled from a warmer, which puts it ahead of most quick service in this park.

It has no indoor seating and limited shade, which is a problem in the middle of the day on the island where everyone is already wet.

Our verdict

A properly made deli sandwich in a park full of fryers, and the Dagwood is a genuinely good order. Losing marks only for having nowhere comfortable to eat it.

What to order

The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

  • The Dagwood
  • Turkey club
  • Roast beef sandwich
  • Vegetarian sandwich
  • Deli pickle

Tips for Blondie's

  • The Dagwood is shareable between two people who are not especially hungry. It is not a normal sandwich.
  • There is no air conditioning and very little shade. Take the food to the covered seating near the Comic Strip Cafe instead.
  • This is a made-to-order counter, so it is slower than the heat-lamp alternatives on the island. Mobile order if you are in a hurry.
  • It is one of the cheaper real meals in the park if two of you split one sandwich.

The Dagwood

Blondie's

$16.99

A very tall stacked deli sandwich of layered meats, cheese and salad on rye, named for the character in the Blondie comic strip who gave the sandwich style its name.

Our take: Made to order rather than pulled from a warmer, which puts it ahead of most counters here. It feeds two people comfortably, and there is nowhere shaded to sit and eat it.

Blondie's: common questions

What is The Dagwood?

A very tall stacked deli sandwich named after Dagwood Bumstead from the Blondie comic strip, which is where the term for that style of sandwich came from. It runs about $17 and it comfortably feeds two people with normal appetites.

Is there anywhere to sit at Blondie's?

Only outdoor tables with limited shade, which is uncomfortable in the middle of the day. The covered seating near Comic Strip Cafe a short walk away is the better place to take the food.
