    the outside of the restaurant
    J David H.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

My sister and I split the Gaucho and the Yellowfin Tuna Melt (~$20 each). Pricey for sandwiches, but the quality is there. The Gaucho is packed with meat, almost too much, so the combo with chips helps balance things out. The Tuna Melt was the clear winner, Calabrian chilies with the tuna salad was a great call, though the bread-to-filling ratio could use some work. Overall, both sandwiches are delicious but could use some ratio tweaking. I'll be back to work through the rest of their rotating menu.

After many, many months (okay, years at this point), I returned. Unfortunately, I had the same experience with my order. I ordered the Hot Italian. It was warm, and that's all this sandwich delivered. The porchetta was dry, chewy and bland. It was so bad that I didn't eat it all. And the pepperoni and soppressata didn't add any spice to the sandwich. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed in soppressata! I thought the pepperoni mayo would add some kick as well and maybe it would have if there had been more than a half-tablespoon of it. And the bread was not fresh! I could have cried over this. The cost is outrageous for this kind of quality. On the upside, the service remains top tier and the space is still welcoming. But I won't be back. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

It's a walk up window spot with the menu and a bell, when you're ready to order, ring the bell. The service is friendly and succinct. Non invasive and just helpful without asking when needed. The seating area is a mix between covered and uncovered, with a small speaker playing contemporary tunes at a respectable level. There are string lights above, and I can only imagine how beautiful this all looks at night. I'd read a LOT about their fish sandwich. That it is a good size helping. That it has a great light fresh vinegar sauce with thinly sliced carrots and other crunchy veg. The fish tasted fresh fried. And I have to say, this is the Best fish sandwich I have ever tasted. I only am upset I hadn't come much sooner. I will have to return, probably on a monthly basis for that fish sandwich. There are enough pictures out there of the sandwich. But I also had the Thai basil lemonade and it was a nice pairing. Not a waste of time, effort or dough. Just go.

Bathrooms are extremely clean. Staff is friendly and fast. Cons. They only have outdoor seating. Most of the seats are stools without backs. There were some flies and a wasp lurking in the patio. Fans were blowing away my napkins. When I paid in cash they rounded my bill up to the next dollar. Never had someone do that before. $34 for a cheesesteak, potatoes, and small drink seems to be overly priced at a take-out spot. It would be more understanding if you could dine-in or had waiter service. I ordered the Korean Cheesesteak with smashed fried potatoes and a Bourbon Peach Punch. The drink was tasty but really small to cost $10. It looked like a 6oz cup. I would prefer to pay $5 more for a full glass. The smashed fried potatoes were covered in a sauce and some of the best potatoes I have had anywhere. The cheesesteak was made with pork (also a new experience for me) and had plenty of cheese and onions.

It's adjacent to a parking deck and small. Very cozy, though! The menu is simple and it was a one-man show that day (other staff had left due to closing). LOVED IT! The coleslaw was really good and the Sammie was probably one of the freshest I've had. We had to wait a bit due to it being just him but worth the wait. I did the hot chick ... yeah, I can get away with saying that ... and it was huge, overflowing, tender and fresh. This is a SOLID spot. I was told they'd be re-opening nearby and I hope that's the case. They were BUSY as well so it's clearly not a customer issue. Check them out when they re-open. Simple and amazing!

Ok listen, this spot is in the cut wedged between Bank of America and the back of Cornerstone Bank. It has about 7 booths and 4 tables (mostly 2 tops). Customer service is warm and friendly, it always feels like you've known the guys working for years. Now the food...O.M.G. My favorite is the ATL chick which is juicy fried chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce and... ANNNND... lemon pepper. Cmon. We're in ATL. What other way is there?! Then it has ranch drizzled on top and dressed how you want... lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle. Even the bread is yummy. The sweet potato fries are crispy and airy and go great with the comeback sauce which is whatever smoky heavenly concoction they came up with as a sauce. Listen if you're in downtown Decatur... Do yourself a favor and get here! There is street parking available and you can pay by app or at the meter. It's about $2 for an hour. They also serve salads, other sandwiches, and breakfast. Small collection of beer, wine, and cocktails.

I'm doing this review to highlight this phenomenal team. I walked in, was greeted immediately. The young lady at the register was super nice. They always have the best cookies. I couldn't decide which cookie to get. She recommended the oatmeal. I said I wanted a fresh one since she said, they just finished baking. I don't know if the guy the the brought them to me was the manager on duty or what, but he went to the back and brought out fresh cookie tray then let me choose which one I wanted. Wrapped it up and handed it to me. After I checked out, without me asking, I wasn't even thinking about it, the cashier automatically offered me a cup for water. I don't know if this is new or not. I don't remember them doing this back in the day, you had to ask, but that was nice. While waiting, I looked towards the kitchen and even the cook was nice, nodded and smiled at me, essentially acknowledging me me from where he was. I had a really nice experience here today even though it was quick. I really wish I could do something other than this review for this team to be recognized 2/24/26 4:30pm. Even the guy on his break was nice. We laughed and joked real quick. None of these employees seem to hate what they do and it shows. Even the guy who I believed to be the manager on duty, super attentive to everything going on in the restaurant and kept moving and assisting the cashier. They all had great dispositions and really made me want to support this location. Highly recommend this F2O. They all made my day. I got the usual tenders and garlic mash. However, the cashier let me know that they had hot version of the tenders, so I got the hot version for the first time. The mash was dry and did not taste fresh, but the strips were fresh and really good. They definitely are more flat/thin than I remember. I remember the ships being a lot more around/thick and full but they were fresh and I did enjoy it. I will go back another time.

I entered and picked up one of the menus that was close to the door. They had a pretty good selection of different things to choose from. I zoomed in on their quinoa rice bowls. I approached the counter and there was nobody at the register, at first, but someone said they would be with me shortly. She returned to the register and took my order. I ordered the Southwestern Quinoa Rice bowl and added the blackened chicken. I was happy to see they offered a few different beer options, so I added a Dos Equis Amber Especial. They ran up my bill, provided a number and informed me that somebody would bring out my order. I headed outside, found a table, hung out for a couple minutes and the food was already arriving. Everything looked fresh and delicious. I reminded the server that I also ordered a Dos Equis so she had to go back and get that and returned quickly. I started digging into my quinoa bowl and it was very good. Something in the bowl was cold, I think it was the onions or corn relish, which threw me off for a little. After a few bites, I got used to it and kept going. Also I asked for no avocados and they still made it on the bowl. I continued eating and realized I really didn't need to add the chicken, the ingredients in the bowl itself were filling enough. The place was not really packed, but there was a steady stream of people coming in picking up to go orders. Looks like a popular place for the business folks in the area. Overall, a pretty good 1st visit and I would return if in the area. 3.5 rating
