    I'm originally from the Cleveland area and have personally seen the Dave's Cosmic Subs franchise grow over the years. The original, Original Dave's is located in Chagrin Falls, OH (if you ever get the chance to go I highly recommend it). As the brand franchised the experience hasn't always been consistent BUT I can say this location is doing it right. This Dave's is located in the middle of a little shopping plaza, so there is plenty of parking. The inside is super tiny, but they do have outdoor seating and a bathroom available. We stopped by right as they opened, before exploring the beach and the staff members were friendly and one was even from the Cleveland area as well. We ordered the Grateful Dave, The Crazy Dave, the Original and the Garden Burger. All of the sandwiches came out quickly, even though they warned us they had a huge order come in first thing that morning. We did see a sign that said the pickle spears are only available on request- they are a must for the full experience. The bread was toasty and crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The toppings were fresh and exactly what I expected and they were generous with the Dave's Sauce that truly sets these sandwiches apart. They do have a window outside that you can order from and they serve beer here. One thing I noticed about this location is they don't have the cold case with glass bottles of soda and their Dave's sauce to take home, but that could be due to not wanting glass on the beach and just how tiny the location is. The vibe is right on what you'd expect though and the sandwiches were great. I live in Sacramento now and bought an extra sandwich to take all the way home... If anyone wants to start a franchise closer to me I'd spend all my money there- these sandwiches are my favorite. Just another reason to plan more trips to the Long Beach area.

    11. The Tuna Dave Sub
    Monica Z.

    I've been coming back and this time I tried the Tuna Dave. It was AMAZING I did the wrap hack again and asked them to add sprouts and bacon. Thank you to the patient staff for going along with my request bc wow that wrap was delicious!!!! This time around I think I hit a sweet spot there were only a few people in front of me so it didn't take long to get my food! They also cleaned the place up a bit with a shelf for the chips definitely easier access for me

    Dave's Turkey on wheat with avocado & potato salad.
    Margaret M.

    I've been wanting to go to this place for a long time. Finally went last weekend on the 4th of July (2023). I ordered Dave's Turkey sandwich on wheat with avocado. I really like this sandwich ! The turkey was fresh it came with cheese and Dave's cosmic sauce which I loved. The bread was perfect. Service - The young lady taking orders was very nice. Ambiance - was ok, small shop. The only negative is the outside patio, the ground was filthy and the table & chairs were really sticky and dirty.

    Amazing as usual. The cashier is so friendly and everything was great. Love the 70's vibe to the shop.

    Garbage !

    Great taste! First time hitting this spot up! I have their Original Dave's Cosmic Sub, warm. You will thank me later!! The cashier who suggested warm the sub up, THANK YOU! Super tasty! Clean place, in and out. Try them out before you think of heading to subway!

    17. Dave's Best Meatball Ever Sub
    Kelsey N.

    Dave's is a cute little sandwich shop with lots of great options. Staff was friendly and patiently waited for me to make my decision. I got the meatball sub and I feel like I'm a bit of a meatball snob, but these had great flavor and were nice and *moist*, bread was nice and crispy. I just wish the sandwich was a bit hotter. The sauce was lukewarm, but the cheese was melted perfectly. Hubby got the #23 and agreed while good, it was just lukewarm. I took a bite and it was ham heavy, couldn't really taste the Turkey, but the banana peppers really helped with the acidity. Overall I would eat here again, probably try a cold sandwich next time!

    Sorry, this is not at the restaurant, but couldn't resist.
    Tom W.

    Friendly employee, tasty subs, most importantly, - we stopped here because we had a dog, and we were coming from the dog beach. And they have a cute little relaxed, fenced in outside patio, which was perfect. There's even shade, which we needed after being at the beach. Come for the patio in the shade and the dog friendliness... Stay for the sandwiches.

    Look at all this food! Pretty plating from the owner!

    I recently graduated and asked Dave's Cosmic Subs to cater my celebration. My food order was ready before pick up and it was a big hit with everyone! Thank you Daisy for taking my order ahead of time. Such a sweetheart, she recommended the Italian sub, the Big Dave's Sub, and the meatball sub. The subs tasted incredible and super packed with meat and flavor. They made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect feast. They gave us extra condiments and utensils with an extra helping of sides (peppers and pickles). I would definitely order from Dave's again and again. They set the bar for deli sandwiches for me!

    Super Dave Sandwich
    Arthur S.

    The sandwiches at this location are good. However this last time I noticed the price shot up well past what is advertised on yelp. On top of that the sandwich is about 60% of what it used to be. I will not be returning to this location unfortunately.

    The Greatful Dave with cheddar and peppers
    Adrianna V.

    This is definitely my favorite sandwich... finally had chicken for my husband's sandwich. Came here twice and no chicken with our luck. But the third time around, they actually had it. Add cheddar and peppers to the grateful Dave turkey sandwich. I would like to try something else, but I feel committed to this one.

    The #1. The Original Dave's Cosmic Sub with Mac N Cheese
    Lance E.

    This might be the best use of parking space I've seen in a while! In the middle of a parking lot is a full stand alone hot sub sandwich spot. They have successfully completed the mission of hippie vibes with the decor, music, and color patterns. I love how friendly the guys were in walking me through what they offer and s/o to the dancing bears that highlight their most popular menu items. I ate the #1, essentially an Italian sub and it packs a lot of flavor in 8 inches. The bread has a crunch similar to our childhood days when you ate sandwiches with chips on the inside. The Mac N Cheese is 5-star worthy! Lastly, the seating outdoors is plenty and gives picnic-in-the-park vibes which adds to the experience. Also, I love how they have a bathroom that is spacious and doesn't require a code. Yelppie Tip: No Apple Pay or AMEX accepted here.

    Dave's original wrap

    my favorite lunch spot!! the staff is so friendly and the sandwiches are amazing! I recommend trying them as a wrap as well. the number 1 is my go to - love it here!!

    So the sandwich was super yummy, but it took them over 15 minutes to make it. It wasn't busy but still took a really long time.

Between the two of us we've tried Tuna Sandwich - Definitely not your typical mayo heavy tuna. It was more herbaceous and light than creamy, which was a nice change of pace. If you like fresher, brighter tuna instead of rich and gloopy, this one is worth a try. Caprese - Super fresh and creamy and the ingredients themselves were on point. That said, it was missing a bit of seasoning a simple hit of salt, pepper, or some Italian seasoning would've taken it from "good" to "great." Turkey Sandwich - This was just a really good turkey sandwich. Simple, classic, and well executed. Definitely our #2 favorite so far. BLT - Our biggest miss. For such an iconic sandwich this version felt a little too basic and underwhelming compared to everything else we tried. Chicken Parm - A great option when you're in the mood for something hot and comforting. The sauce and cheese combo hit the spot and it was a fun switch up from the cold sandwiches. This lands at #3 on our list. Italian Sandwich - The star of the show. Perfect balance of flavor and acidity with all the right textures going on. This is hands down our #1 sandwich here and the one I'd recommend first if it's your first visit. On top of the sandwiches their chip selection is FIRE tons of fun options that make it feel like you're building a full snack experience not just grabbing a quick bite. The drink selection is solid too and I've got to give extra love for having sparkling apple juice as an option. Little things like that make it stand out. Service has been consistently chill and low key on all three visits nothing over the top but friendly enough and they get the job done. Overall as a sandwich stand Potato Chips Deli deliver good quality ingredient, a couple of standout sandwiches (get the Italian!), fun chip and drink choices, and casual no frills vibes. Still a little room for refinement (seasoning on some sandwiches, more exciting BLT), but we'll definitely keep coming back to work our way through the menu it's 4 stars from us.
