Recently stopped here with my wife since we were both gravitated by their vegan selection of sub sandwiches. I tried their vegan incredible Dave and after a long wait, I was finally able to indulge in the sandwich. I was truthfully underwhelmed with my sandwich since the vegan chicken in the sandwich was really soggy and had a bit of an odd taste. My wife was not impressed either with her sandwich either. It's a unique place with a unique theme. Not many people were dining in so you can expect plenty of peace and quiet. Plenty of similarities to going to a Jersey Mike's but more 70s rock and roll. read more

Went for Lunch with my Mom today and sandwiches were very delicious! Chicken, Bacon and Ranch sub is what I received, Sub was very tasty and great! Service was outstanding! read more

Ordered at the Hudson location last night and never again. Went to the Macedonia location months ago and was very disappointed with its quality and freshness, especially for the price. Thought I would give one more chance and ordered the original Dave's Cosmic sub. It is supposed to have prosciutto on it and there was a tiny, I mean tiny piece. We also ordered the chicken bacon ranch sub and just ok.. For the money, definitely not worth it. They have gone down hill will not be trying again. read more

Unbelievable I'll start with that, I look forward to working in Hudson so I can eat at Dave's no longer with that got a crazy Dave which I often do literally last year I ate one from there and it was amazing as usual well today ordered one and night and day difference. Idk if they don't know what ingredients are supposed to be on a crazy Dave or what but zero fresh garlic zero pepper flakes and so little cheese it might as well have been without and as for the meat if it was 1 ounce that's it tops about the only thing that wasn't skimped on was the cosmic sauce, total rip off horrible sandwich compared to a "real" crazy Dave ya got me once NEVER again. Shameful considering it's the original location that I have been going to for over 20 years good luck with that the sooner you fail and go out of business the better for everybody that is expecting what it once was read more

It's in downtown Hudson. The traffic and location make it hard to get to it. The service was good nothing special. The choices were interesting. This is my first time here but my mom has her usual and she likes it. It's a decent sub shop. The only drawback back is the traffic and parking. read more

Excellent experience. Enjoyable and fairly priced. Worth coming to Hudson to check out.

This is a place that's propped up by its dressing. Quite possibly the worst pickle I've ever eaten. I recommend trying one just for bragging rights. read more

Today I got a corned beef sub at Dave's in Hudson. The overpriced sandwich was dry, tough and chewy. It tasted like it was sitting out for hours. I will never order it again. I expected much better for the price. Dave, you've got to do better!!! We desperately need a good Jewish deli in the Hudson, Twinsburg area. read more

One Slice of Roast Beef on your $10.00 All American Sub?? One Tablespoon of Tuna on your $9.00 Tuna??? ( with a 'sprinkle' of Romano cheese?) What a joke. read more

Got the big dave and meatball with extra pickles. Big Dave had inedible pieces of chewy hard meat. I didn't get the normal pickle with my sandwich. The extra pickles I ordered are soft and weird dark color. They are usually crisp and white. Seems like a totally different place. read more

My family and I love Dave's. Been going for years. Love the food. Love the people who work there. It had a been about a month or so since we were last there. We went a couple nights ago. The food was TERRIBLE. Bread was stale and hard. A couple the sandwiches were wrong to begin with. Didn't recognize anyone working there. Seems as though they are under new management/ownership. They were unfriendly and not at all helpful when we tried to bring the mistakes to their attention. It's fine, we'll go elsewhere moving forward! read more

My favorite place for a sub in town! Quality ingredients and friendly staff makes for a pleasant experience every time. Dave's will continue to be a staple that I enjoy frequently! read more

Dave's has been my go-to for 25 years, a must-visit place when I'm back in town visiting relatives and friends. I've been to several locations and always enjoyed the fun vibe, good food, and good music. Sadly, the menu has changed so much that I don't recognize it anymore. Several of my standard favorites were gone when I was there six months ago (Dave's All American, for one,) but I picked something similar enough that was just okay (roast beef with hot peppers and hot pepper juice, which was too spicy for me.) When visiting last week, the menu had changed again. No roast beef to be found, but hot steak sandwiches? I was openminded and tried one, but it was just not that good. My friend got a corned beef sandwich, which at $15 was a stretch, but it came without any toppings! She had to pay extra for sauce and coleslaw for it, which was crazy given the already steep price! Unfortunately one of my favorite NE Ohio restaurants is a place I don't really want to visit anymore. Sorry, Dave's. read more

We took out a sub platter. And my husband has been in for their meatball sub which he really likes. I don't think it's that great TBH. They use shredded cheese on their subs which is strange and I don't care much for the rolls either. We were told this was the best sub place in the area so maybe I'm just a snotty East Coast sub person :/ read more

Order a sub with no bread. Unlike the sub they gave me the mushrooms bell raw and charged a dollar more for less work. Gross.

Their subs are definitely one of a kind and very original. I have yet to be disappointed and I am always trying something new. For the price, and it does not matter the location, the subs are rather small and could use more to fill them. Like in the 80's--Where's the beef? (In this case, where's the turkey, beef, chicken, ham and toppings?) Hence the three stars. Nice service. Clean. Fill and stuff those subs and this would easily be a five star review! read more

First time having Dave's Cosmic Subs, and my anticipation was running in overdrive. I looked at the behemoth menu, the cashier was impatiently waiting for my order, so many words, so many subs. I panicked. "What should I order I said?" She recommended the "Turkey". I got that for my daughter. I reluctantly went with the "Peace Steak", but only because I felt the pressure of other patrons behind me who were also impatiently waiting. The portions are quite small compared to other sub shops. My brand new sweatshirt was covered in special sauce. The "Turkey" sub was dreamy. The "Peace Steak" was a dud. Not sure how I feel about Dave's overall, it definitely didn't live up to the hype. That being said, it was still decent. Peace out. read more

Dave's is a solid local chain. It originated in Chagrin Falls, and any Ohioan will tell you that a trip to get a Dave's sub is an NEO right of passage. In truth, I'm not like a die-hard Dave's fan, but I do like the #18 with the Italian sausage. The Dave's Marinara sauce is soooo delicious, and when it soaks into the bread it basically creates this hot mess that's really tasty and requires approximately 100 napkins. Its pretty much the only sandwich I've had at Dave's that keeps me coming back. I need to give major props to this location. Usually, this sandwich takes 10+ minutes to make at other locations (which they disclose), but for some reason, its always ready in just a few short minutes in Hudson. Not sure why, but it just comes out super speedy. Love the decor in this Dave's (and all Daves'). You can't beat the retro-hippie-vintage-music inspired vibes, which radiate in the form of hand-drawn art, records, and vintage posters. This is sort've the way to my heart... good music. Also, today, a super cute guy and I had an eye contact moment, so that rules. I'll visit again. read more

I mean if you like bread the bread is amazing. I only get the tuna sub but it's not too filling if you're an active individual. Go with the largest size sub to feel completed. read more

I am so sick of average sub places that I forget about Daves, my bad. I have made it a point to try and get to daves over the chain sub joints we have in down. This is more than supporting local, they just have great subs, great employees and one to try read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs are consistently delicious and made-to-order! Not as freaky fast as Jimmy John's but at Dave's, the same person who starts building your sandwich also adds the finishing touches! Dave's has a distinctive taste--I think because of the special sauce. I always order Dave's Veg-Out or the Height-Ashbury--both are vegetarian. My daughter's fave Dave is the turkey Tom while my son, a red meat lover, enjoys the Super Dave. You can order any sandwich with white or wheat, toasted or not, and short, medium or long. You can get a fountain drink or more specialty soda pop or sparkling or coconut waters in the fridge. You can eat there, although at noon it can get pretty crowded. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Icon - Sandwiches Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

Love their subs! Especially #12 veggie! But the Hudson Ohio store uses artichoke hearts that you could use for roofing shingles.

My meatball sub was cold and the cheese wasn't even melted. I didn't return it because I didn't want a disgruntled employee spitting in it so I ate my sandwich cold. Could've been worse but Def could have been better. Very disappointed. First bad sandwich from them ever. Been going there for almost 20 yrs. No more. read more

this is a tale of redemption. i stopped in yesterday and ordered my goto sandwich. and it was very good. maybe some extra attention went into it since i mentioned my previous experience. nevertheless, that thing was so good. thanks Dave's! read more

My review is for takeout only. My cousin was raving about the sandwiches here so we got sammiches for 8 and gobbled them up back at home. I had the Dave's Veg Out and was concerned about "smothered in Dave's cosmic sauce." I shouldn't have been. It was a tasty sandwich and was well dressed and not drowning. My family got a couple of SuperDaves and a Reuben and others. Everyone gobbled them up so the other sandwiches must have been as yummy as mine. There can be a bit of wait so calling in your order is definitely recommended. read more

Black Keys blaring, Jerry staring down from above (along with KWS, Jimi, and John), Fancy pop (soda), write your name on the walls, its encouraged. Might be hard for a member of Nixon's silent majority to cut through waves of hippie vibrations. But the powers of music, peace, and the smell of Dave's Cosmic Sauce will bring even the proudest of conformist to the counter. First time visit, I would recommend checking the menu online. I had to stand a while and read though all the possibilities. This can take a while. Another tip, after eating, do not exhale in public for the next 2-3 hours. The stain these subs leave on your breath has staying power (aka Dave's Cosmic breath). Recommend: The Original Dave's Cosmic Sub, Dave's San Fran Don't recommend: The "Hey Dave", The quasi pickle that comes with the sandwich(you will either love or hate this) read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - from the Dave's website (lazy me) - Sandwiches Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

Please excuse this jaded view from a sub guru. I like the shop theme but I've never found graffiti works with food places. Gives the look of grime and dirt...think subways, train yards, rat-infested abandoned buildings. Their menu is fun. I ordered a Haight-Ashbury in honor of Garcia's 76th birthday yesterday. Bread was real good as were the fresh ingredients but I'm holding it up to an east coast sub and it falls a bit short. On size mainly and therefore ingredients that can fit into it. Still it hit the spot and the bruschetta blended well with the peppers and all. Rock on JG. read more

I had a chance to eat at this place a while back and the menu offers a staggering amount of choices. I ended up trying several different items over the course of a couple of weeks in the area and I can say that this place is definitely a great sub place. They offer a really really good Italian sub. The couple of times I was here the staff wasn't all that friendly but they weren't rude either. The place is decorated like a hippies paradise which makes dining there very interesting and unique. To really appreciate this place you should not only read the reviews but also look at the pictures of the subs themselves as they show just how great (and unique) the food here really is. If I lived in this area I'd have this place at least once a month for lunch no doubt. read more

I love Dave's Cosmic Subs! The retro hippie vibe is so fun, and each one is decorated a little differently. There's so much to look at, waiting for your food is kind of fun! I highly recommend any sub with Dave's Cosmic Sauce on it. It's kind of like a creamy Italian sauce and soooo good! If you want a really fresh tasting sub, my go to is the Turkey Dave. It has super fresh bread (they all do) turkey, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, herbs, swiss cheese and of course Dave's Cosmic Sauce! So many subs to choose from but they're all delicious! Also bonus you get such a yummy pickle wrapped with each sub! read more

Great sandwich and fast service! Employees were super friendly as well. Order the Dave's club and it was super good.

Dave, you personally humilliated me and my family yesterday accusing us of trying to steal chips. You yelled to your cashier, "Did she pay for those?" I will never step in any of your shops again. Hey, maybe don't accuse your family patrons of stealing, maybe help your staff instead of soliciting franchises and maybe don't go OCD on your cashier as to where the tickets should go. He seems to have it figured out as he assured us we could go look at the Falls and pick up our chips when we got our sandwiches. My sandwiches aren't ever right anyway, so not much of a loss. Easy mayo usally means a 1/2 cup of mayo. You ride around in your fancy Mercedes with you disgusting vanity plate taking up 2 spots. Get over yourself, you aren't all that and a bag of chips! read more

We got ours to go. The sandwiches were really good. I was worried about the sauce, but it complimented the sandwich. Bread was soft. Nice people. read more

I imagine this is what a sub shop under the bridge would be like. This place has more graffiti than a train yard and the School for Creative Vandalism combined. Which of course is nothing but a good thing. Dave's has a truly imposing selection of submarine sandwiches. And a bit of an unusual selection of different kinds of crisps. As an obvious alternative to Subway, you will be blown far and away by the unexpected homemade quality. The Dave's Famous Bleu was the culprit for this conclusion. Put on your grungy trench coat, hunch over and slouch in here. Then inhale a sub. You'll thank me later. (Because my real name is Dave. I am the Real Dave. ((Not true. I lied.)) ) read more

I made a yelp just to let everyone how how terrible of an experience I had here. I've heard from a lot of people how good Dave's subs are. So I go in today and the cashier doesn't say a word to me. I tell him I've never been there before. He says nothing and looks annoyed. I order the sloppy Dave because I'm really hungry, and I think it's going to be a large hot sandwich. He's says nothing just rings it in and walks away. While waiting I see there are options for hot or cold, for different types of bread and different sizes, none of which were ever mentioned. So I end up with a small cold sandwich on hard bread that I barely ate and threw away. I don't doubt their food is good, but that was definitely a terrible dining experience. read more

Mediocre subs on white bread that are overly expensive. I don't get why everyone likes it. My 2 little boys wouldn't eat theirs, and Subway & Jimmy Johns are 2 of their favorite restaurants. Might be good for people who care more about kitsch and ambiance, as opposed to good food, but I won't go back. read more

Inconsistent. Ok, there is one constant at this location- grumpy teenage staff. Service + quality vary greatly. The Chagrin Falls and Shaker locations are much better. Love the Dave's sauce and the gardenburger... Just wish they were as reliable as other locations. read more

This is a great local chain, lots of fun, good music and great sammiches. Staff is friendly, and the service is typically quick. You will need more than a couple trips to try from the large selection. Had the tuna today for the first time, it was great. Only 5 tables with seating for four at each, so in busy times seats my be limited. Classic Rock blaring completed the Cosmic experience. read more

My favorite is the number eight it is also called the crazy dave and it has fresh jalapenos!!! My mom found out about this place about fifteen years ago while delivering the hudson hub times newspaper and our whole family fell in love with this place, there isnt a bad sandwich. read more
