    My inaugural experience with Dave's was through DoorDash, and as someone who is both gluten-free AND enjoys ordering subs via delivery, I'm fairly used to crumbly, wet bread with but a memory of once being toasted. On that note, Dave's Cosmic Subs was a pleasant surprise. I found their gluten free bread superior to that of Jersey Mikes and their toppings reminiscent of an actual deli rather than a Walmart aisle. For all that a DoorDash-ordered, toasted sub on gluten free bread has going against it, this hit the mark.

    Lunch time. I got a Tuna Salad. Very good. Wife got a turkey sub, she says great . Daughter got a chicken bacon sub, she also says great. Pepsi , no Coke ....bummer.

    Tried The Grateful Dave (turkey with alfalfa sprouts and avocado) and The Original Dave (Italian sub). Worth the stop! Their Dave's sauce is interesting - very vinegar forward but it works. I really liked it! Employee was super hospitable and made sure we were satisfied with our order. I would recommend trying it out if you haven't.

    Tried the buffalo chicken, Italian and the pasta salad for delivery. I'll be honest, the sammies were ok but not my favorite sub sandwiches that I've had. I have been waiting for a bit to try this spot and when I finally did I wasn't blown away. They were tasty but nothing incredibly special. There wasn't anything specific that I can point to as far as the order being subpar, it just really wasn't anything to write home about for me. I wouldn't discourage anyone from ordering from here, but I'm not sure that I'll do so again.

    Worth braving the craziness of campus for a sub! This was my first visit so I went with the popular #1 Original, served hot (their version of an Italian). It was delicious! Great sauce, flavors, and bread--I will be back!

    This is your prototypical college deli shop. There is tons of cool, throwback decor on the walls and they definitely have some hippie vibes -- from the logo to the colors. The menu style reminds me of an old walk up shop. I tried #4, titled "Dave's Far Out Chicken" which is a toasted sandwich of chicken, cheese, onions, hot peppers, hot sauce and Dave's cosmic sauce. The cosmic sauce is an Italian based dressing. The sandwich was good, but nothing super special. The bread was over toasted and way too crunchy that it took away from the sandwich. Overall, cool spot, but the sandwich was a bit of a disappointment.

    Dave's cosmos subs started in Chagrin Falls, a suburb of Cleveland. Now it's a franchise and has locations all over Ohio but also some unexpected states like CA and VT. The Columbus location is on High St, right on Ohio State's campus. I can see why they expanded so quickly... the subs are delicious with sooo many protein options, and also offers flexibility if you have dietary restrictions like subbing in gluten free bread and lettuce wraps. I can't choose between these two subs -- the peace steak and the sloppy daves. Did splitsys with the husband and loved both. My biggest regret is not buying a bottle of cosmic sauce but will next time!!

    Location: N High Street, Columbus Ohio Website: https://www.davescosmicsubs.com/ Menu: see website Hours: see website Parking: street parking, paid and paid parking lots within 1-2 blocks Service: excellent Thrilled to try this (new to me) location of the best sub shop in Ohio. Dave's Cosmic Subs succeeds with this storefront in the heart of OSU campus, creating the most amazing sandwiches anywhere. The only shift here is all sandwiches are available in one size. Don't fret - the sandwich is an 8" sandwich, very substantial and a great meal whether you are vegetarian, eat only chicken, want a hot sub, or the best cold sandwich you may ever have. I trialed my favorite sandwich - the #1, 'the original': Pepperoni, Genoa Salami, Prosciutto, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Sliced Banana Peppers, Onions, Fresh Garlic, Herbs, Provolone Cheese, smothered with Dave's Cosmic Sauce. Outstanding. I will admit I prefer it cold. Your call. You are welcome. The best sandwich you can buy for under $10. This beauty is $7.99. Magical. Can't make it there? Delivery via DoorDash or Uber Eats available.

    #3 on the menu! Great version of a basic sub.  Even better hot.

    Subs are very good! So good I couldn't help but eat it right away. The cosmic sauce is delicious, even though they forgot an extra side. Service was great and friendly.

We just tell them, "Make us something amazing," and they knock it out of the park every single time. Fresh ingredients, great combinations, generous portions, and clearly know how to build a seriously good sandwich. There's something pretty special about walking into a place, putting your lunch in their hands, and knowing you're going to leave happy. If you go to Frenchi's, try skipping the menu at least once. Tell them what you like, let them work their magic, and enjoy the surprise.

The service made this experience memorable. The gentleman working asked me if it was my first time. He made some recommendations. They were out of corned beef for the #3 The Eiffel Tower so he substituted bacon for me instead. I liked that the buns are smooshed flat, the meat and cheese heated and melted, and then the additional toppings diced up into smaller pieces. I had about a 20 minute drive that could have made the difference, but once I started eating the sandwich it was good but aa bit chewy. It might have been less chewy if I would have ate it right away. I also ordered the specialty croissant. The staff person asked me if I was okay with the price, it was $8. I appreciated he let me know the price and made sure I still wanted it as it was a bit pricey. The croissant was amazing! This was also a food that was better ate day of. I had it the next morning for breakfast and although it was delicious you could tell it was getting stale already. It was beautifully made. Frenchi's was good, just eat it right away for optimal freshness!

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.

    This was a highly anticipated visit! First off I really like the location and vibe of Marlow's…read more They have a bar area (I love eating at the bar) and 90's R&B playing at a respectful volume. Points!! I stopped at 2pm on a Wednesday and there were only a few customers and myself there. I order The Classic wit Wiz, fries and a Truth IPA. My food came out quickly in a to go bag. I was eating in but no biggie. The positives: the chopped steak, Wiz and onion combo is South St Philly worthy for real. The fries were a unique shape and were delicious. The music!! I heard Guy- I like, The System- Don't disturb this Groove, Christopher Williams-Don't wake Me... I was transported back to my days growing up in Pittsburgh. My only negative: That bun! Dry as Camel heels. To be fair, I ate it as soon as it came out and when I unwrapped it, a lot of the filling spilled out. If I had got it to go, the bun would've absorbed some of the cheese, steak and onion goodness and I'm sure it would've been juicier after 10 min. I'll take it to go next time. So all in all, I think I prefer Marlow's over the other Cheese steak giant in Columbus (as far as the authentic Philly cheesesteak). The other is great as a gourmet version of a classic. It all depends on what you are in the mood for. Great job Marlow's bringing Philly to CBus!!
