I've been eyeing this place for a while since some of my coworkers have raved about it, and I finally decided to give a try! This is a small place with no seating on the inside, but there are some tables at the front where you can sit. Admittedly, when I went inside, I was a bit concerned about how fresh the ingredients might be because of the state of the place (seemed a tad dingy), but turns out that's all part of the charm because the food slapped! I ordered the spicy chicken, and the chicken was insanely juicy, and the sauce and other ingredients married it so well. I especially love the addition of the avocado to add a creaminess to the sub. I recommend checking this place out, but please note that this is not a fancy spot by any means, but don't let that stop you from trying one of their delicious subs. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Spicy Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Been on a Dave's kick lately and realized I haven't received it. Dave's Cosmic Subs is A1. Though I've only had the Daves Original sub this place is great. The sum bread is delicious and the psychedelic sauce is yum. It's great a place for Togo food bc they don't have an inside. But when the weather is right they do have an outside patio. read more

I'm going to go against the grain on this sandwich joint located off the campus of Emory. It was really pretty meh for me. Parking is nearby, but could offer challenge. I caught them off peak and parked by the door. I ordered a meatball sub and found out their soda machine was broke, no ice, no bottle drinks. Not even water. The staff was meh. Seating is only outside under an awning, no heat. Also it had been raining and was 50% flooded Order was out in around 10 minutes and was good. So that saved the review. I maybe return. I think they have better days. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - the outside of the restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Having heard great things about this place, I was excited to finally have an excuse to. There are a few tables outside underneath some coverage but not so sure how warm it would be with temperatures dropping now. I got their original Dave's cosmic sub while my friend got their big dave sub. Both however, were about the same size being on the smaller side. They came out in about 10 minutes despite there not being a lot of people there but had a handful of people for take out. Subs were hot and well stuffed but for the price I was hoping for a big more size and flavor. Nice staff and decent subs but not sure if I'd go out of my way to return. read more

A bus driver told me about this place last week. So i came back. I had ..." The Big Dave. Let me some it up in 3 words SPICY!!!!! I Looked over and Jesus was crying. I said its that good huh. He said no my eye is itching and i can't scratch it,i I do im gonna get hot pepper in my eyes MESSY!!!! Yep not exactly the kind sandwitch you wanna try if your wearing a 3 piece suit. Had to keep sliding my meat back onto the bread GOOD!!!!! But despite all that very good. Im gonna come back and trying more sandwitches. I will give them prompts for having free wifi,thats always a plus. The seating is out doors. But they seem to atleast be running fans witch made it tolerable. I wanted to try a chocolate chip brownie,but they were out. I cant wait to come back and try more things. Prices seem to be hit or miss in my opinion. That meaning some things seemed reasonable,while others seemed outrages. My meal for what i had seemed fair,around $18. read more

Tried their "signature" Original Dave Cosmic Sub and it was just okay. Nothing offensive, but nothing memorable either. Honestly felt like something I could throw together from Publix for cheaper and probably better. This spot definitely caters to the college crowd of nearby Emory: quick, semi-cheap, and gives off strong "hangover meal" vibes. If you're nearby and hungry, it'll do the job. But if you're expecting something next-level or worth a detour this may not be the place. The person taking my order was helpful and the sub came out in a reasonable amount of time so no issues there. That said, I can see the appeal if you're in the area and want something fast without breaking the bank. read more

Dave's is seriously the best sandwich spot in town. Humble little place in Emory Village where you order at the counter and can sit outside on their patio. They have a large menu of subs, and everything comes with their "cosmic sauce," which is SO good. My favorites are the Far Out Chicken Sub and the Chicken Parm Sandwich -- both are packed with flavor and just hit the spot every time. The service can be a little slow, but it's always worth the wait. If you're into sandwiches, you've got to check this place out! read more

Excellent sub Dave's Comic with turkey, bacon and fixings is the best I've tried all their sandwiches but the club is the best read more

Overall, this place was pretty average. I'd give it a fair 3.5 stars if I could. It was my first time here, so I went with the Original Save Cosmic sub. It was definitely a step up from Subway, but not leagues better than something like Jimmy John's. When I try local sandwich shops, I always compare them to the big chains, and I hold them to a high standard. The Psychedelic Sauce sounded unique, but it ended up just tasting like a light sweet onion sauce--nothing too special. The sandwich was a little messy and just okay overall. My girlfriend got the Chicken Parm, and that one was definitely better. Good flavor and a solid portion for the price. Pricing overall was fair for the quality of food we got. The sweet tea was a miss--really not good--and the drink selection was pretty limited. Atmosphere was fine, nothing bad but nothing memorable. All in all, it was a 3.5-star experience, but I rounded up to four since I could see it being better with a different sandwich. Might give it another shot. read more

Amazing sub that I had the cleveland classic. Yes it's avg but again it's a sub sandwich. Bread was soft, meat and cheese ratio was avg but service was good. read more

I don't care for classic sub places where you're not able to make your own sandwhich. So this is me telling you, you cannot build your own sandwhich. I ended up trying the chicken bacon ranch, and it was so good, I usually think chicken bacon ranch foods are heavy or gross but this one was perfect. It's very small inside, no room to sit but they have a cute outside area. read more

I used to hear good things about this place, so I finally went. I was utterly disappointed. Food was skimpy, tasteless, and had bad portions/ratio. I felt scammed with how I paid $11 to eat a soggy bread. There was barely any meat in my sub. Their online and app ordering messed up my order too. Lastly, the inside smelled like BO. They need to patch this whole place and business up! read more

Great subs at old fashion price. Big variety to choose from but I recommend Dave's Original sub. Love the college vibe with students all around. read more

I come here often for lunch and it always hits the spot. If you like sandwiches, if you like salads, if you like fresh food, this is the place for you!Guys behind the counter are great! Sandwiches are made to order, so they are nice and hot. read more

Great sub and big ! My son and I visited Emory and we searched yelp and this is definitely a good place for lunch and brunch . read more

We wanted to try Dave's for a while. Went and we and got a hit sub and a cold sub. They were fine, but nothing special. The Psychedelic Sauce (kind of like Caesar dressing) was pretty heavy and overpowered the entire sandwich. If I go back, I'd get light sauce or sauce on the side. read more

Very very flavorful sandwiches. Price is about average. Cleanliness of the location leaves a lot to be desired - saw a dead cockroach on the ground. read more

A go-to for cold and hot subs in this area! My favorites are the Meatball sub and The Original. A must try in the Emory area.

Dave's is the BEST! The food is always soooooo delicious and well priced and made with quality ingredients. It's got a super cool vibe to it with a big chalkboard wall you can draw on while you wait for your order. We come back again and again and our faves are the Grateful Dave and the Vegetarian Meatball subs. read more

My friend and I were looking for a quick dinner spot in the Emory area and we decided to check out Dave's! There's dedicated parking which I appreciated and a small patio we could sit at (although it was a little chilly in March). It's fast casual so we ordered at the counter. We decided to split a large Crazy Dave and made it a combo so we could get chips and a drink. Our sub came out super fast which I appreciated. This sandwich was AMAZING. The size was MASSIVE. It certainly had a kick to it and they did not skimp on the toppings. This sandwich was dripping in dressing and seasoning and I was LOVING IT. Overall, 10/10 experience and would definitely check it out again!! read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - The Crazy Dave - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Affordable and super tasty subs. I have come several times and they have a lot of options. Their dressing on the subs is delicious. Would recommend. read more

Got two large subs. Needless to say they were below average. Barely ANY meat at all, as if they were stretching a small portion for a large, and sauced to the max so bun was falling apart. I was told by a couple friends that quality has fallen off but I gave it a chance. It was literally a large bun with mostly sauce drenched all over it. Flavor nor portion of meat were worth the price. For $20 go to Publix and get something with an actual good portion of meat for $10, or go over to Jersey mikes. Better quality subs for cheaper than this place read more

Soo cold on the day we went so we ate in the car, but it was amaaazing! That chili sauce... BOMB, but they don't play! read more

Food: 2/2 Service: 2/2 Ambiance: 0/1 The subs here are absolutely delish! My husband got the Philly cheese and it was out of the world! I'm a picky about my bread! And the bread here is so gift and. Delish!!! The person taking our order was friendly and helpful! She helped me pick my sub! We will definitely be back! read more

Great subs and even nicer staff Subs are delicious and the menu is massive. Free parking. read more

I have been a long-time customer of Dave's and have previously loved their sandwiches. However, a recent experience with their customer service makes me never want to go back. Recently, I ordered two sandwiches, chips, and two drinks to-go, paid at the counter and left a 20% tip, then found out that the drinks I had ordered were completely out at the fountain. When I pointed this out to the cashier and asked if I could be refunded the drinks since the ones I ordered were out, she said she didn't know how to process a refund. She then asked the rest of the staff and no one knew how to do this simple process on the cash register. So -- and here's what's truly baffling -- they directed me to "call the owner" to process the refund. They handed me a business card for the owner, and when I tried calling the number, it just rang once and then beeped. I don't even know if the message I tried to leave went through because I never heard back from anyone. Also - the sandwiches were not as good as they have been in the past, and there was a loose pickle just kind of tossed into the bottom of the bag that wound up getting pickle juice all over the passenger seat in my car. Not fun! Bottom line: There are too many other places in Atlanta to go for lunch/sandwiches that actually care about their customers, and I'd rather give those other places that are a pleasant experience my business. I will not go back here again. Their sandwiches aren't put-up-with-bad-service good. (Also, yeah, I suppose that the cost of two drinks is not going to break the bank, but it's still frustrating to not have anyone even try and refund me... and it's weird that no one knows how to do that and that they just let me pay for nothing!) read more

If you like sandwiches, if you like salads, if you like fresh food, this is the place for you! Guys behind the counter are great! Sandwiches are made to order, so they are nice and hot! No sitting inside, just an outside patio, but in it does have removable walls up so the weather doesn't really affect sitting there. When it is cold they have heaters in the patio area. We will visit the next time we are in this neck of the woods. read more

The sandwich is to die for. This sandwich was packed full and the flavors mixed so perfectly. The service was great they give you a pager and come back in to get your food. As for the ambiance it's a cool little shop. I will be back. read more

Ambiance is quaint. Not much room and not what you would call comfy. Fantastic sandwich. But be careful. I was prayingr through and did pickup on the way to hospital and was overcharged. Not worth returning. read more

Ate at this place while my daughter was at an activity at nearby Emory. Place was pretty empty on the weekend. I ordered a sub which was ready in a reasonable amount of time. The Dave's dressing was awesome. Along with the flaky bread really made this an awesome sub sandwich. Place is tiny and seems like the perfect after hours stop. No seating inside with some seating in a "tent" outside. read more

Not good. They rip you off on the meat as usual with these type of joints. They smother the sandwich with the sauce that is not so great. Definitely not worth the price. Go to Jimmy Johns which is next door instead read more

I attended an after work event in the area and wanted to go to a restaurant that didn't seem too crowded and had vegetarian options. I ordered the vegetarian meatball sandwich! It was so good and flavorful! It made you forget it was vegetarian! It was a great casual place to just relax solo or to hangout with friends. The restaurant has an outside door patio area and gives you enough "outside" without the heat of outside. read more

Really good subs. I love their chicken subs. I usually get it thru Uber eats and the sandwiches are saucy so the bread can get soggy, just something to be mindful of if you're ordering far away. They also put the pickle spear wrapped in with it so it doesn't help, but it's still a really good sub. As for the place, they have really cool workers who seem to care about the food they make. They're all laid back and friendly. The place itself is extremely tiny but they have a patio to eat outdoors. Definitely give it a try read more

These joints good went on a lunch date with my ex and even tho conversation was rocky lol I scarfed down whole half of sub

I am a huge fan of the sandwiches here at Dave's! They have so many options, and so far everything I've has tastes great, including several vegetarian sandwiches. They're also conveniently located next to a free parking lot in Emory Village that has ample parking. All seating is outdoors under a covered roof. It does tend to get busy during lunch, especially if classes are in session, so wait times can vary between 5-20 min, but my sandwich always comes out warm and fresh! usually get food to go as seating can be limited but the patio (where you wait for your order) always has decent rock music playing and sports on for your entertainment. read more

Very solid campus-adjacent sub shop with hippie vibes and a large selection of satisfying sandwiches. They've got something for your veggie friends and your hardcore carnivores. Get your sub toasted for sure. We got a classic sub and a haight ashbury. It isn't super fast (we waited probably 15 minutes for our sandwiches and it was not busy) but we didn't die of hunger. The "small" size is actually the size of what I would consider a regular sub. The "large" size is basically two regular subs. If you're really hungry that's the one for you, but I was good with a "small" size. Bread is great, fillings are generous and well proportioned, I have no complaints. Would definitely swing by for a sub again. read more

Far out chicken sandwich. First timer. Can't wait to explore the rest of their menu They are a pretty chill spot. read more

Did a pickup order for dinner. We got the build your own veggie and a BLT which both tasted so yummy! The large portion is huge and even the regular size if very filling! The Dave's Cosmic Sauce is just the cherry on top to make your sandwich taste. Love coming here for subs! read more

This was my first time trying this little eatery. I'd passed by it many times, but never stopped. Typically, when I visit a restaurant, I ask the host/waiter what is recommended or most popular. I was told I couldn't go wrong with the meatball sub or the Philly cheesesteak sub. I went with the Philly. It was awesome! The flavor was nice and it was cooked really well. I'm giving it a 9/10 only because it was a little more wet than I would've liked, but I still enjoyed it. read more

This is a sold lunch option. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that I feel like the menu is pretty limited for those that don't like spicy food. I had the meatball sub and it was nothing short of amazing. It was like eating meatballs wrapped in cheesy garlic bread. If you're considering this option, go for it. You won't be disappointed. read more
