Pretty good spot for subs, my sandwich did the trick for a quick lunch before hitting the road. I got one of their spicier offerings, and thought the pickled jalapeños were a nice touch, along with the cured Italian meats and some red pepper flake. The unmelted cheese on top was a bit weird, didn't add to (or take away from) the flavors of the sandwich. I'd come back if I was in the area and didn't want to spend time at a sit down restaurant. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

Good options for subs. Pricing is reasonable. I asked for a recommendations and got answers that were actually helpful. Staff was super friendly. We had a big to go order, but it didn't take long for them to get it all together. The seating is somewhat limited so if you're coming when it's busy or you have a lot of people, that might be difficult. It's a cool vibe with a lot of fun decor. There's even a guitar in the women's bathroom. And I appreciate that the water in the bathroom actually gets warm when you're washing your hands. Definitely a solid choice for subs. read more

Ordered The incredible Dave and a take home bottle of the cosmic sauce. The incredible Dave is my go to but whatever your preference of sandwich, I'm sure it's amazing there. read more

Fantastic service. Haven't been in years. I ordered and went to sit down for a second and my sandwich was already ready. It was a great sub and will be back read more

Great service. Pretty quick- although I will say that their online ordering never works which is annoying. You would think someone would take initiative to get that fixed. Cosmic Daves has a decent product with so much more potential. It actually makes me sad. The value for what you actually get here is laughable. If you are going to continue offering the same (kid sized) subs, then you have to drop the price a bit. What you get is just not worth $12 when you can get way more value at Jersey Mikes. A regular sized sub actually fills you up at Jersey mikes. The bread is not good at all. Literally so crunchy it hurt the roof of my mouth. In a business environment where you have a million sub shops to choose from, cosmic Daves will continue to be low on my list because of the low value for what you actually get. The sauce and overall flavors of the subs are very good though- I'll give them that. Place needs to make some changes to the product (BREAD and size!!) so that they can create better value for the customer. But if they are making enough to stay a float and be average then more power to them. I'll stick with Jersey mikes. read more

I love it here, but it takes a long time to get your food. I highly suggest calling your order in to save time. I got the 1. It was good. It was stuffed, but primarily with lettuce. The best thing here is the sauce, it truly makes the sandwich. You can even buy it to go. They have chips, soup, salad and sandwiches too. read more

Food was great. My order was hot and fresh as expected. The prices at this location is a bit more than other locations throughout Cleveland. Parking is sometimes a hassle given the location. I'd recommend Dave's for a hot fresh sub. I ordered thDave's Far Out Chicken Hot Sub read more

If you think Subway has the market cornered on sandwiches, move along you don't deserve this place. The biggest issue you will have is narrowing down their gigantic menu to a few options. Hot or cold subs are great. I've had at least 10 different things on this menu. Some I will definitely get again and some I won't but none of them bad. Enjoy the hippie-ish vibe, the food and the super chill and helpful staff. Order ahead and don't worry about waiting. This location has awesome people working there and some great baked goods. Definitely a great stop if you are in the market for a sandwich. You won't be disappointed for this price. read more

Dave's is fantastic! Best subs in the area by far. They have something here for everybody. My most recent visit was today with my family. I do have a few picky eaters in my family so even finding a single place we'll all enjoy can be difficult. Luckily, Dave's was right on the money with their sub selection. They have great vegetarian options, delicious deli meats, and a few hot subs. I love their unique options!! I got the Super Dave which was incredible: pastrami, corned beef, their special sauce, and coleslaw piled high on their amazing crusty bread. My family members got the original, the crazy dave, and the dave's far out chicken. They all LOVED the sandwiches and were raving about them. The best part is how reasonably priced all of their options are! In addition, the customer service here is spectacular. Our four sandwiches were finished quickly and the woman at the register was fun and helpful! The only negative I can think of is the lack of parking but Dave's is definitely the perfect place to stop in for a bite after exploring Crocker Park! read more

Dave's?! Man talk about a blast from the past! I had kind of forgotten about Dave's Cosmic Subs. I worked at Crocker Park in high school and I remember going there every now and then on one of my breaks (this was circa 2006-2007). As stated, I kind of forgot it existed until my sister recently moved across the street from Crocker in Westlake. I told her I wanted to make it to Dave's sometime soon so we opted to head here for late lunch on a Saturday in the summer. We arrived around 1p. There was a woman and 3-4 kids with her who were finishing up their order. No one in line behind us. We put our order in. I knew I had to have The Original Dave (aka an Italian Sub) for old time's sake. Now what makes them lose two stars is because these subs took FOREVERRRRRRR to come out!!! It was RIDICULOUS! We timed it at 25 mins! Guess we didn't get the memo this was a fancy sit down place. Honestly, it was very frustrating and I was starving (I had already been nagging at my sister, nephew and brother-in-law that I wanted lunch for about an hour before we even got there). My sister and I were sitting outside at a table we grabbed for ourselves while my nephew and brother-in-law waited inside. When he FINALLY came out with the subs, we asked what the heck took so long. He mentioned that they had made my sub wrong so they "held" the other two up there until mine was made. That is asinine. We even asked him if the girl taking orders ever said anything and he said that all she told him was "your subs will be ready soon." Ugh so frustrating and unacceptable for a quick service establishment like this. They should honestly lose three stars for that, but I'm being a tad generous because the sub itself was pretty darn good! I gobbled it up so damn fast though because I was starving. The only thing I'd change is that I wasn't crazy about the "Dave's Cosmic Sauce." I would have preferred classic Italian dressing like most Italian subs have. Also, I need to call it out here, but my sister had a hair in her sub. It grossed her out and she didn't finish her sub, but honestly, I was so damn hungry it didn't stop me at all. I try not to dock too much because it wasn't my sub/my experience, but just wanted to add that to the review. All in all, I would go back and try it again, but I'm not in a rush to get back. And I'll be sure not to go when I'm starving--lesson learned there! This is probably worth two stars, but until I try it again, I will be lenient in giving them three for now... read more

Eh, we ended up here on a fluke. I heard great things about this place, even saw it was voted #1 best subs in Cleveland, I beg to differ. First the inside is small, which is fine it's a quick bite sandwich shop that has been left stuck in the 60's with groovy themes. Second, the menu has a limited variety of meat choices, chicken, turkey, ham, roast beef and tuna, veggie. That's it. I was hoping they would have a cheesesteak option but to no avail. I decided to have the far out chicken Dave; it was good size, only $6.99, with cheese and chicken and the usual sandwich toppings. We ate outside as it was a gorgeous spring evening. My sandwich was a giant batch of grease on a sub roll. I really couldn't even enjoy it because my bread soaked through and the sandwich fell apart, what I did taste is an over abundance of oregano, too much hot sauce and the cheese completely masked what would have been the taste of the sliced chicken. I was truly disappointed. I've had better subs from Get-Go which is saying a lot right? I'll try again but not this location as the girl behind the counter had a nose ring to go along with her attitude. Not for me. read more

Why go to Quizno's or Subway when places like Dave's exist? The subs are awesome, complete with wild names and far-out ingredient combinations. From Reubens to garden burgers to hot dogs on a sub, this place has everything! The Crazy Dave (prosciutto, capicola, hot peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, fresh garlic, provolone cheese, sprinkled with crushed red peppers, herbs, and Dave's Cosmic Sauce) was voted #1 sandwich in Cleveland, but order anything off the menu and I doubt you'll go wrong. And while we're on the subject of Dave's Cosmic Sauce. AMAZING. Adds worlds to the subs. The subs are usually around $6 or $7 and they also has a wide variety of kid's subs and fresh salads. The ambiance is also great. There's always a classic rock DVD playing on a flat screen and the whole place is decked out with vintage band posters/memorabilia. Check out the sodas in the cooler... crazy flavors! read more

Love Cosmic Dave's! So many different sub options. I really like the Grateful Dave with turkey, tomato, sprouts, mayo, avocado, hot pepper juice, and cosmic sauce. I also like the Dave's Tasty Bacon with tomato, lettuce, provolone, mayo, and cosmic sauce. I was so excited to recently find out they now serve gluten free bread!! It was actually really tasty. I also tried a bowl of their chicken tortilla soup which was a bit spicy but very good. Great lunch spot when visiting Crocker Park. The people are very nice and the service is good but just a tad slow so don't go if you are in a hurry. They have small seatinf areas inside and out. read more

Going on a downslope.. Management.. keep up quality! Need to spend a dime to make a dime. Starting with young employees. They don't care! Teach them customers pay their wages!! Low quality of fresh produce.. Hot sunny day - signs are faded, no umbrellas on tables! No wonder no one eats there anymore !!! Quit complaining and make a couple of improvements!!! read more

What is it with some sub shops doing the whole stoner 60's thing? I don't get it. That was my first impression while walking in here. I mean, I know the name has the word Cosmic in it, but couldn't you go for a space theme instead? Lots of stuff with tie die, the doors, etc. After I got over that, I stood at the menu and took it all in.I don't know that there isn't a sub that they don't serve here! The menu was humongous, serving mostly hot subs, but really you can get it any way you like. I went with a turkey sub after talking to the counter guy for a while who was super nice and helpful. Surprisingly, the sub was HUGE. I wasn't expecting that! I got the meal deal, which came with fountain pop, chips and a drink. After I was done, I went with a brownie to go, since I was traveling and didn't have any form of desert at the hotel. By the way, the brownie was delicious, and really hit the spot! Overall, an a okay experience. I'm neither here nor there about this place, but it was pretty good food and the prices were on point. I would probably go back in the future as the food was good, but I would not classify it as "go out of my way for this" food. read more

Had the '13 - The Turkey Dave' sandwich warmed up today. Was fantastic! Visiting for work from out of town and was VERY pleased with the quality and taste. Highly recommended! read more

As I promised, I headed back to Dave's to try their wares again. This time I went off peak hours and as I expected, service was much better. I've said this before and I'll probably say it again, if you are an impatient person do not go during peak hours to popular establishments. I got Dave's Far Out Chicken and it was pretty stellar. No point in droning on, I'll be back at some point to explore the menu more. read more

My wife and my sons took a trip up to crocker park today. We decided on eating at Dave's cosmic sub's since it would be something new for us. The interior of the restaurant is really clean. It has a nice atmosphere with all of the posters and memorabilia on the walls. Kind of small inside but that makes sense since there are about 4 tables outside to also eat at. Staff is very friendly inside. I ordered an incredible Dave and my wife ordered a cosmic Dave I believe? (Most sandwiches are some sort of twist with the name Dave) The bread was fresh, filling the cheese was fresh, cool. It all comes together nicely on a cold cut. I'd love to go back since they have a pretty large menu. I'm not sure if they have "Build your own Dave" option... That would be a great idea for them though. Overall I loved the sandwich. read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Italian sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

Yum! For some reason this Dave's tastes so much better than the one in Lakewood- I'm not sure why. I like to stop in here before heading to TJ's for groceries so I don't bring home the entire store. Okay let's be honest, I think I'll be fine without dinner so I go to TJ's and buy the entire store then get Dave's and retreat to closet eat in my car. Dave's cosmic sauce is to die for. It's super tangy and delicious (and vegan!) so there's nothing not to love there. Apparently they sell it in store and at Heinen's so that's definitely on my list. There are a ton of sandwich options so initially it might be a bit overwhelming but it's definitely worth it in my opinion. A lot of the options have banana peppers which probably is why this place makes me so happy. I bought a new car and have vowed to not eat in it (we'll see how long that lasts) so the most recent time I was in I ate in store which is kinda rare imo. Contrary to the other recent reviews, the staff was exceptionally nice. They checked in on me halfway through to make sure it was good and I didn't need anything else and someone even came out to ask if they could throw away my trash for me while I was messing with my phone which I wasn't expecting at all. So yeah, get you a tasty sub in a groovy lil shop and enjoy your day! read more

So so so so good! I loved trying Dave's Philly cheesesteak. It's a bit different than a traditional cheesesteak but honestly, it's great! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Dave's Cosmic Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

This place is my favorite sub shop ever, sad to see some people keep reviewing it negatively over the parking spot (which by the way is super clearly marked for carryout only with a time limit so it is 100% the person parking there's fault). I park there everytime I get carryout, which is a lot and as an actual paying customer I am very thankful the management is willing to go to bat for us and keep people from parkly there incorrectly. Crocker Park has bad parking and without the lonely take out spots there's never an empty one for at least a block or more or worse in the parking garage... not good for someone who wants takeout! Back to the food, ANYTHING with cosmic sauce is key but my usual is the Famous Blue (not the cordon bleu which is also good), if you don't like spice just get it without the peppers. It is perfection in a sandwhich! The blu cheese dressing and the dave's cosmic sauce together are heavenly!!! Even the chips, dirty chip brand, are unique and tasty, I recommend the funky fusion! read more

Anyone who says that Dave's has "the best subs around" or that they are better than DiBella's is CRAZY! I mean, I rarely complain when it comes to sandwiches. But there was something so odd about this sandwich. It was pretty much a turkey and cheese with some fixin's. The guy kinda gave me a hard time (well, maybe he was just mocking me) about taking things off or substituting them. But in the end he knew better than to argue with a pregnant lady waiting to get her sandwich on. So I switched the Swiss to provolone and asked for no banana peppers. We waited way too long for these sandwiches. They were not exciting in the least! The cheese was shredded, like on frozen pizza. The turkey itself was good and not at all slimy (big plus), but Dave's "cosmic sauce" was like salty Italian dressing and there was way too much of it. The bread was boring. Plus, I like to have options when it comes to sandwiches, and these subs, while chock-full of ingredients, were not exactly appealing to me. There was nothing I'd want to have exactly as-is without making changes. And there's only one bread option, the sorta bland Italian bread without much character. I generally hated the decor and theme of this place too. Maybe I just think the '60s are played out. Sorry to be like that, but it's just not my taste or style. The bottle of water I had was delicious, though. read more

For me a sub sandwich is all about the bread, and Dave's Cosmic Sub must have been out back lighting one up and missed that point. I've given this location 3 tries now, and each time the bread seemed to be stale/borderline hard. I mean I understand having a nice crust and all, but my mouth shouldn't feel like I was trying to chew on sharp rocks! I suppose they have some decent choices for types of subs, and I do like their own branded sodas. That's why they got 2 stars. Also be warned that when they say that they slather their subs in the special sauce they REALLY mean it! It was close to the Gulf Oil Spill with the amount they put on there. Maybe the the over abundance of oil is there to help soften the bread. Oh, and I don't know what type of onions they use, but expect to have that onion smell linger on you for the rest of the day. read more

I've been to this location about 3 or 4 times and I keep saying to myself "Why are going back, this place always sucks" Well, It does and Ive learned my lesson and will never go back. I think the bread sucks, kinda tough or stale, very overpriced, and they skimp on the meat. I hate to say it, but I think subway is better. read more

This was my first visit to a Dave's Cosmic Subs. I had a Super Dave, and it was absolutely the best sub I've ever had! The coleslaw was amazing. I would totally go back just to get a side of the slaw. I really loved the texture of the bread - it was sturdy and chewy (not soft and wimpy like Subway), but not crispy/flakey either. And I also really liked the Dave's cosmic sauce, which was similar to Italian dressing. I really appreciated the way the sandwich was assembled - bread, then sauces, then lettuce/tomato, then meat, then slaw. I liked that there were flavorful things both on top and beneath the meat, and I always prefer when the sauces are adjacent to both bread and lettuce. Another huge plus for me was the birch beer in the soda fountain. An unexpected opportunity to try something new is always great for me! I typically only give 5 stars to places that are consistently excellent, but I didn't think it was fair to knock off a star simply because I've only been here once. I have nothing to complain about, and my experience was far better than I had expected. read more

Tasty sub at a reasonable price! Went to the Dave's Cosmic Subs up at Crocker Park for lunch this afternoon and had the original sub. Placed my order and was served quickly considered the amount of people waiting for their orders. First off I'll state for the record that I'm a fan of the bread at Dave's, fresh and a nice crisp crust. The meats, cheeses and add on like hot pepper rings are all tasty and well portioned for the size of the sandwich. The sub sauce is the 'secret sauce' that brings the sandwich together. Added a bottled ginger ale and bag of chips for less than $10. The Westlake Dave's is sandwiched in a small storefront looking across to Trader Joe's. Parking is basically in the garages, very limited on the street metered spot available. The decor is old album and rock concert posters, fits the theme but not overly exciting. With a lot of competition from other chains like Jersey Mike's, Penn Station and Dibello's Daves Cosmic Subs holds its own in quality, taste and value for the money. read more

Cleveland dances to its own music which means do not expect here what you can find elsewhere. Subs are a perfect example. Most cities have a sandwich that may be called a hoagie, submarine, Italian hero, or po' boy. You can buy them all over and most are made quite well. They contain deli meats piled on good bread with onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. The lightest sprinkling of oil and vinegar dresses the sandwich. So simple, so pure, and so delicious. No where in Cleveland have I had a good sub. And worst of the attempts is Dave's Cosmic Subs. Bad bread, bad meats, bad sauce, and the most unsavory shredded cheese. The woman who made my sub was so darn nice I hated to have her see me toss it out after a few bites. Perhaps a food truck will specialize in making this simple sandwich if I am lucky. read more

we love the daves cosmic subs at the Cleveland Zoo! Best workers around! great food and great service! we will continue to go back!

I ate at this Cosmic Dave's Subs today. It was super clean and the staff was helpful and very responsive. It was my first time so when she saw me staring at the menu like a deer in headlights, she quickly handed me a to-go menu to cut down on the overwhelm. I chose a meatball sub, something I rarely order since they can not hold up to my memories of the great Italian restaurants in my hometown, It met and surpassed every expectation. I was so pleased by the toasty, meaty cheese deliciousness that I did not eat my chips ( and I love chips). I would recommend Cosmic Dave's to everyone. I am already looking forward to my next visit. read more
