B&B Grocery Meat & Deli in Des Moines is home to some colossal sandwiches, and you've got to visit to try them yourself.

This little deli and supermarket is always busy, and you might have to wait for a seat at their small, old-fashioned counter.

The sandwich menu is both simple and expansive. Order a classic sandwich from the list, a burger, or even just a few of their handmade sides.

The burgers here are gigantic, so be sure you're REALLY hungry before ordering a double or a triple!

Of course, the tenderloins here are many times larger than the buns. That's just the Iowa way!

Each deli sandwich is piled high with fresh lunchmeat and toppings, making it hard to even bite into! Each one is at least two meals.

So grab a seat along the counter and dig in - and don't forget to ask for a doggy bag!

You’ll find B&B Grocery, Deli and Meats at 2001 SE 6th St, Des Moines, IA 50315. This deli and grocery market is open Tuesday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
