Behind the Bread

Snarf’s Sandwiches opened its first sandwich shop in Boulder, Colorado in 1996 in what is affectionately referred to as "The Shack." Since then, the family-owned business founded by Jimmy "Snarf" Seidel has grown to almost 50 locations in Colorado, Texas and Missouri. Famous for its hearty, oven-toasted subs, Snarf’s is a frequent "Best Sandwich" winner and has an unprecedented following in its local communities.

Snarf’s is a destination for those looking for a fun atmosphere, down-to-earth people and an obsession with finding, and devouring, the perfect sandwich. Each oven-toasted sandwich is carefully made using exceptional ingredients, including generous portions of premium, handsliced meats and cheeses, Snarf’s own blend of giardiniera peppers, and fresh, perfectly-crusty bread.

The menu features favorites such as The Italian, Prime Rib, French Dip and NY Steak. Snarf’s also offers fresh salads with homemade dressings, rotating soups, kid-sized subs, vegetarian and gluten-free options, and a full catering menu.

From the building, to the furniture, to the incredible custom mosaics and artwork created by Colorado artist Jen Haley, each Snarf’s restaurant is unique to that community. In many cases Snarf’s takes an existing building and restores it, as opposed to starting from scratch. Jimmy doesn’t like anything to be "cookie cutter" so each location is infused with custom, eclectic décor and design that creates the hip vibe Snarf’s is known for, along with the craveable food.

Snarf will open in Snider Plaza later this year, and yeah, they’ve got a hot dog sandwich.

Jimmy "Snarf" Seidel is a doer. In life, there are doers and talkers, and instead of only talking about the world's finest sandwich, Seidel made it happen.

Seidel introduced his sandwiches to the Boulder community in 1996 and has since garnered a cult following in many different parts of Colorado, St. Louis and Austin. In late 2025, the first Snarf's Sandwiches will open in Dallas at 6630 Snider Plaza in the former Cisco Grill space.
